This semester I would like to further improve on:

• Understanding Japanese more easily when people speak at a regular speed
• Speak at a faster pace so that my Japanese sounds more natural
• Use the correct pitch and intonation for new vocabulary or new phrases that we learn
• Improve on my overall naturalness by reducing pauses or stutters

To achieve these goals, I plan on:

• Going to a professor's office hour at least once a month
• Watch at least one hour of anime once a week
• Go to the weekly Japanese language tables as many times as I can (I will try to go every week)
• Practice shadowing for at least 15 minutes every week (besides the regular PE exercises)
• Practice speaking Japanese with my friends who speak Japanese instead of speaking English
