春休み

春休みはとてもやさしい。シアトルに行きました。お母さんのりょうりをたべってとてもよっかたでした。友達と会って、たくさん話したました。びじょつかんにいきました。えがすごかったです。ワシントン大学をにもいきました。ワシントン大学は今、さくらがありました。とてもきれいでした。

Hello!

It is once again time to do my blog reflection.

For my pronunciation I will work to understand the intonation of the prosody exercise. For this, I will go to office hours twice this semester.

I also found that my problems were not the double consonant but getting each syllable right. Therefore, I will practice saying everything correctly slowly.

I find that in pronunciation, it is difficult to talk at a fast speed, getting every syllable right and saying what is needed to be said. I think this is a matter of practice and so I will practice having more conversations in Japanese to increase my fluency. I can do part of this through the Speak Everywhere exercise.

I will work to increase my intonation during speaking and emotion in my voice.

Hopefully, I will improve during this half of the semester in my speaking.

Best,
Alina
