Goal Statement for Cycle 3

Since Cycle 3 will include our Christmas break, I definitely want to be more diligent about practicing during my time off from class. To continue with my goal from Cycle 2, I will call my おばあさん once a week to converse with her in Japanese. However, I will make a concerted effort to have longer conversations (じゅっぷん　ぐらい). Also, I will have some questions prepared for her so that I can learn more informal phrases that are useful in everyday speech. Again, I also want to shadow about 2-3 times a week using youtube videos in order to improve my listening and speaking skills. I really enjoy shadowing youtube videos  since they are incredibly entertaining and a bit more challenging than the Blackboard materials.
