Goals for JPN 101 (revised)

I want to improve:

  • Speaking speed 
  • Reading speed
  • Pitch and rhythm
  • Correct grammar use 
  • Vocabulary
How I will improve:
  • Ask my Japanese roommate, ゆすけさん, for help
  • Attend office hours at least once a week 
  • Make vocabulary flash cards through Quizlet 
  • Learn pitch patterns for new vocabulary
  • Use the speech practice exercises from Nakama textbook or online shadowing exercises for 10-20 minutes at least every other day 
  • Read Japanese text (maybe manga?) on the weekends 
  • I should start watching アニメ or 日本のえいが ... Any recommendations?
