I think that, throughout the semester, my understanding and familiarity of Japanese has grown immensely.
The anime shadowings I did for my PE exercises really helped to improve my overall pronunciation and intonation and has gotten me closer to achieving a more natural Japanese tone. I still regularly listen to Japanese music and watch anime so I think I'm doing well in exposing myself to Japanese. I still haven't gone to the Language Table or Office Hours as much as I would have liked, but hopefully that will change with a new semester and a new schedule. Overall, I still have a lot of work to do but I'm looking forward to progressing with Japanese next semester!
