PE Goal 1 for JPN 102

My Pronunciation Exercise Goals are as follows:

1. Speak in less halting sentences. I have lost a lot of fluidity in my Japanese after we started to do verb conjugations because I still have to think about how to conjugate. I want to finish thinking about what I want to say before I say it.

2. Improve tones of the ending of my sentences. I have also focused less on the intonation of the sentence because I just want to finish saying the thought that I was formulating. I think the best way to improve the tones is to concentrate on this aspect during my shadowing exercises.

3. Increase the length of my shadowing exercises by at least 10 seconds. I think this will be much easier since Shibata sensei will provide the text to many of the shadowing exercises available.

4. Focus on grammar review during Shibata sensei's office hours.
