皆さん、こんばんは
I'm very glad to write down my goals of this semester in my blog just like set a flag, and let's see want can be improved in the end of this semester. Here are my goals:
1. Get used to the difference between voiced & voiceless consonant, like と＆ど、て＆で、こ＆ご、た＆だ。So far, they are the most difficult part for me in listening.
2. I want to improve my spoken Japanese more natural. I think right now the main problem which influence my fluidity and naturalness is the vocabulary. Probably, till the end of this semester, I can learn a certain amount of daily life japanese vocabularies.
3. The speed of speaking is also very important. I found from all the animas and TVs I watched in Japanese, their speed of speaking is all very fast. Maybe, I need more time to get to that level, but I hope I can at least speak Japanese as fast as speak English ( unfortunately, both of them are not my native language.)
4. Knowing Japanese Kanjis is also very important. I know there are a lot of differences between Japanese Kanjis and Chinese characters. Though knowing Chinese characters is not a problem for me, but I should be familiar with their differences in meaning as well as in writing and pronouncing. Hope in the end of JPN 101, I can learn around 500 Kanjis in Japanese.
Activities:
1. I think office hour is a very useful resource for me to practice and correct my pronunciation. I hope I can go to the office hour at least once a week.
2. Japanese Table. It is a pity that I could not attend it yesterday, but I hope I can go there twice every month. It should be a good opportunity of us to share our learning experience. Also, it is a good opportunity to practice with MAKINO sensee.
3. Watch animas. I am a fan of Japanese animas, especially those anima movies. I want to do shadowing for a small part of my favorite one. Hope I can be capable to do that soon!
4. Learn Japanese songs! I really love Japanese songs. I hope I
