So today 佐藤先生and I finally got a video upload to work, so soon I shall be posting my video introduction, but for now, I'm going to be writing about my pronunciation exercise goals.
I would like to improve my fluency and word pitches and also continue finding interesting scenes to shadow so that I can enrich my vocabulary. What I think would help is if I practiced speaking with context in mind, so that I don't just think of this assignment as recording a monologue. I plan to channel my inner actress if it's there somewhere.
This week's passage is from Bakemonogatari, an anime series that I actually have never seen before, but was introduced to me by my brother, who keeps sending me music from the show. The scene is of two people looking at the stars at night while one of them points to various constellations.
Here is the music from the scene if anyone is interested!
