Spring Semester Goals Statement

Speak more fluently

• Like last semester, one of my goals is to get more comfortable speaking in Japanese so that my conversations are more fluid and natural. Going to Office Hours once a week would be a great way to improve my fluency.

Practice Japanese grammar/syntax

• It's a simple goal, but one I consistently forget to do. One of the things that makes it hard for me to speak fluently is my lack of familiarity with proper Japanese sentence structure. Making sure I do some additional grammar exercises from the workbook/online would really help.

Go to Japanese Language Table!

• Again, this is the same goal as last semester. My dorm is right next to the dining hall yet, somehow, I still manage to avoid going to the Table. This is the goal I'm going to work the hardest on this semester, because talking with other people studying Japanese is going to really help my pronunciation, intonation and ease when speaking Japanese.
