PE 2: Reflection on PE 1+ Goals

PE 2: Reflection on PE 1+ Goals

Reflections on PE 1

• Am much better at distinguishing glides now, although my reading and speaking speed are still frustratingly slow! This was achieved by spending some time on the phone with bilingual Japanese friends.

Goals

• To increase my conversational fluency, as well as reading and writing speed.
• To get better at using the correct particles in complex sentences.

Activities

• Speak to fluent Japanese speakers for at least an hour a week: the Sensees, friends in Princeton, Skyping friends in Tokyo, et al.
• Go to Shibata Sensee's and Tameyori Sensee's office hours once a week!

ねこof the week

I figured  some real cats were needed around here to validate my claims to my ブローグtitle - so it was only fitting to feature Maru, にほん's favorite ねこ, this week! Just in case you've been living under the proverbial rock, and don't know who he is...  まるはちょかわいい、すきです！！
