PE2 Reflection & PE3 Goal

PE2 Reflection
- The double consonant (especially double-s sound) that I found difficult last time is much better with practice. The key to this is to read ahead to know what sound is coming next.
- The anime watching part is going well. Too well in fact. Maybe I should get some real work done too.

PE3 Goal
- I realized from shadowing, that speaking fast can be quite difficult, especially for certain combinations of sounds. I will concentrate on this for PE3. I think shadowing tongue twister will help.
- Also I will keep watching anime, but will pay more attention to trying to analyze the language and see how much I can learn without reading subtitles.

あらし！！

せんしょうは　あきやすみです。
わたしは　ここにいました。
サンヂーあらしは　げつようびに　ここにありました。
つよいかぜは　たすさんありました。
わたしのうちのローレンスアパートで　でんきは　ありませんでした。
ネットも　ありませんでした。たいへんでした。
 きんようびのばんに　でんきがありました。
よかった。。。

Last week was fall break, and it was supposed to be nice and relaxing, until the hurricane Sandy hit us hard. And according to this picture my friend caught off google crisis, we were in the middle of the storm at one point! Thanks goodness everything recovered fast enough...
