ゴールステートメント１

「goal statement」とにほんごでいいません。However, my goals for the first cycle of Pronunciation Exercises will be to attempt to improve both my overall rhythm in speaking Japanese (and sounding less like a がいじん) as well bettering my pronunciation of the お-line moras like よ. In the first shadowing exercise, I definitely screwed up both. Alas, I need to make this about food, and so my plan of action over the next month or so is as follows: watch (and shadow) as much anime as I can (namely, Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece) and since Naruto is constantly eating ramen and saying だってばよ, I should be better off in a few weeks. I also will attempt all of the shadowing exercises that are posted like 「なまむぎなまごめなまたまご」 although raw wheat, rice, and eggs don't sound particularly delicious to me. Finally, I'll attend a にほんごテーベル or go to office hours at least once a week to help speaking more fluidly. Oh, and I almost forgot... I'll be practicing with わたしのルームメート (perhaps while we eat!) じゃあね！
