Additionally, I find casual speech pretty difficult so I'll try to do a recording with a partner for a PE later this semester.
I have not been able to attend 日本語テーブルas often as I would have liked, so I would like to change that too.
I think I've definitely improved in terms of speed; I felt that that aspect of speaking has seen the most improvement so far this semester, because I used to talk very slowly and I've been paying more attention to pace as I speak.
