PE Final Reflection
My focuses for pronunciation this semester were pitch pattern, speed, avoiding habits from English, and articulation/accuracy. I definitely improved in all of those areas, although my prosody needs a lot of work. It's going to take me a little longer to get used to applying some of the pronunciation rules I learned. Sometimes I'm so focused on remembering grammar that I forget to worry about pitch patterns, so that's where I'll put most of my attention from now on. I'm much better now at knowing what I'm doing wrong, so hopefully I will be able to better self-evaluate and practice in the future.
I didn't get as much exposure to Japanese audio outside of class as I wanted to, but that's because the semester was very busy! I enjoyed the anime shadowing exercises and just listening to Japanese in general, and I plan to keep improving my speech as much as I can :)

私のへや
これわ私のへやのしゃしんです。つくえの上たくさんえやポスターがあります。ノラガミのポスターをもらいました。そのポスターはしゃしんのひだりにあります。ポスターのひだりに日本のしゅうじがあります。ノラガミのポスターの下にWolf Children(おおかみ子供のあめとゆき)のポスターがあります。そのポスターのひだりにもしゅうじがあります。でも、えいがのしゅうじです。

てがみ
I wrote this letter for homework. I tried to make it like a real letter to a Japanese friend, but it probably has some stylistic errors. Writing letters is hard, even in English! The picture quality is a little low; sorry about that...
