My goal is to make my voice sound more Japanese. I think I am pretty good with vowels and Japanese pronunciation, but what really sets apart the great speakers of Japanese (as a second language) is the precise intonation and rhythm with which they speak. To try to master that I will be doing shadowing exercises, imitating native speakers, for 10 minutes every day. I hope to master the subtleties of Japanese speech.

アニメをみましたか?They're actually really good sources of shadowing material, if you want to get a chance to listen to very authentic and natural Japanese speaking. Let me know if you're interested - I can give you a lot of links to good ones!
