ゴールステートメント2

My distinct goal over Cycle 2 is to work on my intonation in asking questions. That seems to be where I lost a point on my oral midterm (from さとうせんせいのコメント).

Overall, I want to also train myself in speaking the words (the high-low pitch patterns) in that when studying new vocabulary, I will use わたしのきょうかしょのなかま１and its bars indicating higher pitch moras. I will attempt to say each word over and over to make sure I pronounce them correctly, and use them in sentences to make sure I don't change their pronunciation when I speak actually. I will continue to speak extensively at home with my roommate, and go to office hours and/or 日本語テーブル weekly. Shadowing and anime-watching (ハンター×ハンター is back!) will also ensue.
