These are my goals for the first cycle of pronunciation exercises that we are doing. This cycle will last three to four weeks. Luckily, after doing the first shadowing exercise, I know I have a lot of room for improvement, so I won't be bored!
Goals
Improve my pronunciation of vowels and consonants, especially long vowels (both timing and proper vowel sound), r~ sounds (find the right balance between r and l), n sounds (n/m/ng), h sounds (f/b/p/h), and sh~ and ch~ sounds. Yikes, that's a lot. Maybe I can keep a log of my recordings and track my progress.
Activities
This may be overly ambitious, but I want to do at least 15 minutes of shadowing each day. I know I have at least 15 free minutes every day . . . Anyway, I want to use the shadowing exercises for this, but I also want to try other Japanese media, maybe dramas or movies. I'll have to do some research and find good material. If anyone has suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them!
