Shadowing is the currently the single most difficult part of this class for me. In trying to do the recording for this week, I was disappointed to learn that it hasn't gotten any easier. Tellingly, although I wrote in this blog previously that I hoped to practice shadowing more frequently, I did not successfully carry through with this goal.
On a more positive note, I have been fairly good about attending Japanese Language Tables and office hours when I have the time.
My goal for the rest of the semester is for my shadowings to be better in quality and less stressful to make. In order to accomplish this, I will more consistently do everything I intended to do when I wrote my first PE blog reflection. I especially want to practice shadowing as much as possible, almost daily if I can.

ReplyDeleteBobby,
ReplyDeleteShadowing is also very difficult for me. I find it easier to break it up into phonetic parts that are smaller so that it feels more natural for me to say. It sounds like your best days are ahead of you.
^^^Ian's got it right. Every time you think shadowing will get easier, there's always one really tricky part that screws you up.
