PE Goals Round 2

Goals:
I want to improve my speaking speed.  I also want to improve my comprehension of listening, especially with plain form.

  • Plain form: such as talking to strangers on the street/friends.
  • Speed:  Listening speed in order to be fluid.
  • Precision and speed:  to pronounce quickly and precisely.

Activities:

  • Watch Japanese anime on my own.  Sing along with my favorite Japanese songs everyday in the shower or while walking. 
  • Go to Japanese language table every week (I love food).
  • Speak Japanese with friends every day at least once.

Reflections on goals

Original Goals:

I want to improve my speaking of long vowels and my speed.  I also want to improve my comprehension of listening, especially with long vowels.

  • Vowels: to pronounce the correct length of vowel.
  • Consonants: to not over-pronounce consonants and nasals.
  • Precision and speed:  to pronounce quickly and precisely.

Did I accomplish my goals?

I think I did.  I learned how to pronounce the vowel sounds and the consonant sounds.  But, there is still room for a lot of improvement to sound like a native speaker.  
Did I improve speed and precision?  I did, but likewise there is room for improvement. 

Reflections

This class i amazing and I've learned so much.  I have met some of the most amazing people in this class and look forward to next semester.

Japanese Video Game Music

Many of my friends love にほんごの ビデオゲーム. Like ゼルダ、ファイナルファンタジー、or ポケモン。And even if they do not, they enjoy the beautiful music from video games.

Example, one time I played some songs from games on the piano, my mother overheard and asked me,
"What is that song from?  It's so beautiful."
"It's from a video game!"
"No way!"
 I played for her this one.

Final Fantasy 4.  Theme of love. Uematsu Nobuo.
月の明り -ファイナルファンタジーIV 愛のテーマ-
植松 伸夫 

The にほんじん who make the music all have unique stories and I learned some from this documentary series. 植松 伸夫 (Uematsu Nobuo) Interview starts at 3:58.


My favorite JPop song from a video game is:
宇多田 ヒカル. Simple and Clean.
