I knew I did not post on my temporary goals in Japan learning. Well, after talking to Shibata Sensei last week, I came up with the following goals as well as methods to achieve them.
1. Speaking accuracy and fluency. I would like to practice on how to speak Japanese more naturally and fluently. For example, I want to make all special sounds like the u in desu sound right.
For personal reasons, I cannot attend the Japanese table event on Tuesday. So I am going to practice speaking by using the Speak Everywhere courses.
2. Listening. I had a hard time trying to shadow an anime clip. I cannot follow a long sentence even if I have memorized the scripts (and chose the easiest anime). I also share a Chinese Japanese learners difficulty in distinguishing da/ta, ka/ga sounds in between words.
In order to address these two problems, as suggested by Shibata Sensei, I have to do more listening exercises such as the SE. I should also try to come to the office hours of our three lecturers at least twice a week.
This concludes my temporary goals for Japanese learning. がんばります！
Hi, this is Hiroki.
回复删除I think your Japanese study is a good way to improve your Japanese speaking and listening skills. Well, since it can be said to studying any of the languages, I think the more time you spend, the better your skills become. I think your Japanese won't become good suddenly, but please keep hanging there! If you put you time,your Japanese will definately improve!
Thank you for your encouragement, Hiroki san. I hope my Japanese could indeed improve! Best wishes on your English.
