Goal: To improve the naturalness of my Japanese speaking by
internalizing the patterns of rising and falling pitch
Activities:
- · Do shadowing 10 minutes a day (preferably, from a standard Tokyo accent)
- · Go to Japanese language table once a week
- · Do the listening lab exercises in the workbook
That's interesting, how unique is a Tokyo accent?

Tokyo accent is best accent (I don't actually know if it is).
Pitch patterns are so difficult! The only way I can think of learning them is like you said: internalizing them by memorizing them correctly the first time.
