Aspire (v.) - To seek to attain or accomplish a particular goal.

Welcome to Vocabulary Builder.  Each lesson, we will introduce ten vocabulary words, first in Japanese, and then in English. When you hear the word in Japanese, you will have a few seconds to say the word back in English. 

Then, we will repeat the words again, but with less time between the Japanese and English. Finally, we will go through the words one more time, but the order will be scrambled.  The goal is not just to learn new words, but to recognize them quickly. Don’t forget to speak the English words out loud.  This will improve both listening and speaking fluency.
