Thanksgiving!!!

サンクスギビングはたのしくてよかったです。うちにかえりにかぞくとあいました。たくさんいいたべものをたべてたくさんいいのみものをのみました。私はアップルサイダーやチーズケーキがとても好きです。そして、たくさんねてえいがとアニメをみました。I Love You Manとカウボーイビバップはおもしろいです。いま、わたしはプリンストンだいがくにかえりました。

PE Reflection 3

       In terms of my pronunciation exercises, this past semester has gone very well. I consistently pronounce words correctly and as of recently I have been able to shadow anime despite the speed of the speakers. I think my success can be attributed to achieving my goals of going to office hours 3-5 times a week and attending the language tables every week. One problem I find that I often have though is remembering the pitch patterns of words and phrases. Even if I articulate words correctly, my pitch sometimes is simply wrong. In order to accomplish my goal of becoming a fluent, persuasive, native sounding, confident speaker, I need to practice reciting pitch patterns more while doing PE listening exercise, extra pronunciation exercises, memorizing vocab, etc. If I can get the pitch down, my speech will be able to sound very natural. I also plan to continue attending office hours and language table regularly as well as supplemental tutoring sessions.
