I think I definitely have achieved a lot of my goals for this academic year!
- I can speak Japanese with a faster speed and more natural/quick conjugation while speaking. I could still work on speaking casually though.
- I think that I am pretty accurate now at identifying pitches when listening to native speakers speak, and I think I can replicate a majority of what they say, even if I don't understand it.
- I definitely can get by in Japan with the stuff I have learned this year!
- I can write the basics, which as mentioned above, would allow me to survive.
I think this year set a good basis for what I will be doing with Japanese in the future (whether to continue in Korea or not)!
