I learned how to sign the song "You are my Sunshine" and it wasn't too hard. Like playing guitar, once you learn a chord or note you know that chord when you want to play a new song. The more words I learn the easier it is the complete new sentences and even songs. I already knew a lot of the words in the song.

I may go back to the lessons or learn a new song. I haven't decided yet.

I am deciding to try something new. Most people have a really easy time learning song lyrics and memorizing things using music. I wonder if it works for sign language? Instead of going with the lessons I'm going to learn a song in sign language. Lets see how this goes!

ANGRY 
AUNT  
UNCLE 
BABY 
BEDROOM
BRUSH-TEETH
CRY 
EXCUSE
FEEL  
FRIEND 
HAPPY  
HELP  
HURT
IDEA
LOVE  
SAD  
SORRY
STOP 
WANT
WASH 

These are some of the words I've been learning. I haven't been able to get through many lessons, but the 4 lessons I have done I have down pretty well. I now know about 80 words in sign language! I can talk and understand a simple conversation and am also able to pick up words I haven't learned yet just by using context clues. 

As the words get more complex learning the signs gets harder and harder. Like most other languages, signs that look like what they are are easy to remember. Signs that are difficult to remember have little or no resemblance to what the word is. I'm on lesson number 4 now and hope to be on lesson number 5 by next week.
