My two main goals for the first seven weeks of class were to improve my word pitch, as well as sentence intonation and the rhythm of special mora. I believe that right now, my sentence intonation is much better than it used to be, and I am confident in pronouncing special mora. As for word pitch, I think it has improved, but there is much that remains to be done, especially since we learn new words every week.
Out of the activities I listed last time, I have been doing most of them, except for going to the language table and office hours. It didn't work out for me time-wise, but now that we are further in into the semester, I believe I will be able to go to at least one or the other every week.
The rest of my activities will remain pretty much the same as the ones I have previously stated. I watched a lot of anime during fall break, and I tried to shadow the slower parts/parts I could understand.
I hope that by the end of the semester, my Japanese (and my word pitch in particular) will have improved thanks to these activities.
