My main goal right now is to really focus on intonation. As someone who has spent a lot, lot, lot of time working on mastering a foreign language I understand how harmful poor intonation can be to the overall comprehensibility of your speech. Also, if you have poor intonation from the beginning, it may be hard to correct later on.
In terms of concrete steps I am going to take for this "cycle," I am going to do 10 minutes of shadowing 5 times a week as well as work my way through the episodes of a podcast (http://japanese.libsyn.com/) meant for learners of Japanese. I'm going to pay particularly close attention to intonation, and hopefully this will make a difference.
