PE2 Goals and PE1 reflection

My PE1 goals were:

• Practice commonly used phrases with my girlfriend who is also a Japanese student. 
• Do shadowing.
• Practice the 'r' sounds from Japanese.
• Watch episodes from Samurai Champloo with English subtitles.

I feel I accomplished these goals but could have done better. I have practiced with my girlfriend quite a lot. She has already completed first-year Japanese and has helped me with my vocabulary. The shadowing was much more useful than I though it would be, and I look forward to continuing it. I have only watched one episode of Samurai Champloo, but I have practiced my 'r/l' sounds while commuting in from Philadelphia. 

My PE2 goals are:

• Continue to practice phrases at home. 
• Do more shadowing.
• Watch episodes from Samurai Champloo with English subtitles.
• Focus on catching spoken phrases and words that I already know. I find it frustrating when I hear a sentence in class or in the textbook audio that I know when written but don't recognize when spoken.
