Reflection Statement for Cycle 2 and Goal Statement

To prepare myself for the Chapter test, I have listened and shadowed to dialogues in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. I should have put in more time to shadow other listening exercises such as the dialogues in "Let's Speak Japanese." For my second goal of shadowing, which was recording "Yuki no hana," I will post my recording on my blog shortly. I had a hard time translating a lot of Kanji characters in the lyrics. Hopefully, later on, I will be able to read Kanji characters more smoothly.

Goal Statement for Cycle 3:

As done from the previous cycles, I will shadow the textbook dialogues twice or three times a week. And this time, I will shadow the extra shadowing exercises from "Let's speak Japanese." And at this time, I will challenge myself at Japanese Rap. I will post up my recording of Japanese hip-hop group's song: M-Flo's "Let Go (feat. Yoshika)"

I will focus particularly on pitch and intonation for shadowing exercises. And for the song, I will learn key Japanese phrases related to... love.

Everybody, good luck with the third cycle!!
