How I Plan to Speak Better Japanese

こんばんは、みなさん。

Learning にほんご with you guy has been very fun! I still make a lot of mistakes, but I have plans to improve my にほんご. Speaking is especially challenging since I keep unconsciously sprinkling my pronunciation with Korean sounds.

So first, I plan to watch more anime and Japanese documentary and pay attention to the pronunciation. I seem to speak a foreign language a bit better right after I watch a movie in that language, both in terms of pronunciation and grammar. The anime I chose, for now, is Cardcaptor Sakura. I am going to watch it for 15 minutes every other day. On the weekends, I'll try to watch at least an hour of a documentary in Japanese!

I will also try to listen to Japanese music while I cook dinner everyday. I have a friend who loves Japanese music. We have quite similar taste, so hopefully she will be able to recommend to good songs to me.

Last but not least, I will definitely go to Japanese Language Table on Tuesday. A lot of people got to meet Makino せんせい already! Hopefully I won't embarrass myself by speaking bad Japanese in front of him...

That's all I have for now. I'll update my plan in the future should I run into any interesting idea!

さようなら。

Cat and Japanese

はじめまして。

Nice to meet everyone! I'm glad to be in the same class as those who are interested in Japanese. I enrolled in the class because I like the pleasant sound of Japanese. I also like Japanese food and national costume きもの (hopefully I'll get to wear one one day!).

I did not know any Japanese at all prior to the first day of class, so everything is new for me. I will try hard to catch up with you guys, and I look forward to a great semester with everybody.

さよなら。
