In the first cycle of shadowing practice, I was able to follow my plan for the most part and practice some form of shadowing (almost) every day. Thanks to the great feedback I've been receiving, I now know that I need to work on the length of my vowels and special moras (especially double consonants and double vowels). My speed and fluidity needs work, but overall I feel fairly good about my progress. The experience has been excellent and I look forward to doing more practice in the near future!
The midterm oral with メイさん was fun! おもしろいでした。しばたせんせい played a すずきさん from にほん, そしてだいがくいんせいでした. メイさん and I performed the dialogue fluently and without any major hiccups, and we both felt pretty good about it afterwards. However, I do feel that I need to work on impromptu responses and being able to act naturally even when presented with unexpected situations and questions. Other than that, our flow was good and our expressions made the dialogue feel smooth.
