In this cycle, I want to be able to continue to improve on my rhythm when pronouncing while paying particular attention to intonation (the highs-lows and stresses). In addition, I would like to improve my speed and fluidity when speaking Japanese, being careful not to pause at unnatural places in sentences. To achieve this, I will continue to do short Shadowing exercises provided on Blackboard and shadow very short snippets of Japanese entertainment like slow songs and dramas. On another note, I may just recite random sentences while I'm alone in the dorm elevator.
