Goals for First Speaking Cycle


My Goals:
I want to be able to reliably be able to pronounce the l/r sound in らりるれろ and also be able to keep up with shadowing in slower speaking cases without having to listen to it many times.

Activities:
I will practice shadowing with provided exercises, anime, and Japanese songs at least 20 minutes for at least 3 times a week.
I will also go to the language table at least twice in the next month.

    Yeah, that r/l interchangibility throws me all the time, especially in romanized katakana words (finland, not finrand). I was told that you have to sort of flick your tongue from the r sound position to the front of your mouth (l-ish postion) if that helps any. Welru, Good Luck, Mr. Thomas-san.
