Also, for my last shadowing, I was able to do a monologue that I thought was really difficult and impressive when I first heard it, so I am pretty excited about that. ここですよ(the monologue itself, not me. I wish I could speak like her.):
Overall, I think my pronunciation definitely improved. I am also able to speak more quickly and naturally, without having to stop to think as much as I did at the beginning of the semester. The other day, I was just sitting around and all of the sudden, "かう、かわない" just popped into my head, and I realized that I apparently know the plain form better than I thought. I am starting to get the feel of things, so that when I say or hear something wrong, it sounds weird to me and I know to correct it; this seems like a big step, I think.
じゃああ、また next semester! Until then, I'll keep doing PE in the best place for such things-- the shower!!
