Possible Selves 6- The Kaizen Method

I am sad to say that I have no fancy graphic for this part of my possible self project (though I might delve into a larger scale visual for my own personal benefit once I have some more free time), but that gave me all the more time to actually think about what I was putting into words. For this aspect, we looked at the Kaizen Method, and I'll be making a simplified version of my own below to help myself achieve my goals on language use and learning!

1. The Hope: I want to be fluent enough to be able to understand/interpret for my patients without the use of a translator.

2. The Goal: I will pass the NJE Level 3 with a Silver or Gold certificate by the time I am done with my bachelor's degree. 

3. My Action Plan (How will I achieve what's above?):

    a. I will continue working to the best of my ability through my Japanese classes at KCAI.

    b. Over the summer, I will work through Marugoto as far as I am able.

    c. I will continue to text/write with native speakers through gaming platforms to practice informal and formal speech.

    d. I will finish the "Remembering the Kanji" by the end of the summer 2021.

    e. I will work with my peers to practice verbal communication, and listen to music/other Japanese language media to practice auditory comprehension.

    Excellent tasks! I like how you stated you were learning Japanese to help others. That is a wonderful reason to keep learning. Keep interacting with native speakers as much as you are able and remember that to become a writer you must first be a reader. tadoku.org is a good place to start. Keep it up! I'm really proud of your hard work

My Experiences: Reflection of Videos

 For this project, we were to watch two videos and reflect on whether or not we agree or disagree with the speakers!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0yGdNEWdn0&t=4s  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_XVt5rdpFY Reflection: To really get my thoughts out for this project, I really had to think about things. Both speakers made very valid points, and I was surprised to find that the first video, about learning a language in six months, matched up to some of my previous experiences to a scary degree. I especially appreciated the idea of relevancy that he talks about. Even now, after so long, there are certain ‘beginner” aspects and vocabulary that I struggle with remembering, like things to do with time and small talk. I was always frustrated that more simple things would completely slip my mind but harder topics, like with the Tohoku project last semester came much easier, but it makes sense when I think about my use into every day language and how much more interested I...
