1. speak like a native. This does not mean I have the vocabulary nor the grammar level of a native per se, but rather that when I speak, the phrases and sentences I do know come out as if a native said it. This means accurate rhythm, pronunciation, speed, and also grammar. This can be done by paying greater attention to all parts of the homework, especially the eNunciate as well as the Shibata sensee's feedback on my speaking. I will also attend Japanese table 3 times a month; I really enjoyed it.
2. improve my handwriting. I have been told many times in this class that in Japan, handwriting is very important, to the extent that "one's personality is shown through one's writing". While I'm sure that reality is not that drastic, having a beautiful handwriting will help me appreciate Japanese even more. A few ways to do this is to take a few minutes to practice everyday, whether that be taking greater attention writing every character in the workbook, or even have individual writing practices on my own. Once I reach a higher level where I can write more than just a few phrases, I will start writing in person.
3. learn enough Japanese to be able to get around in Japan. Not only in the language but also culturally aware as well. Certain anime might help with this, plus weekly watching of Japanese movies.
