ASL Website

The lessons on this website are really helpful. Instead of just having a pictures of how to say the words it gives you a video. It also gives you sentences to do which is really cool. It's surprises how many simple sentences you can create after only 3 lessons. I'm excited to keep going.

Talking to people using simple sentences in sign language is really fun. Knowing just a few dozen words can get you really far!
Practicing whenever I can and trying to sign while im talking makes it a lot easier to remember words. Instead of learning random words its also easier to make a list of things you want to say in a conversation.

Also: "Good Morning Beautiful" is a good one to learn :)

I think its really  interesting how signs cane be connected just like words are. For example, "dad" and "grandpa" are connected because they are related. In american sign language the sign for  "grandpa" is added on to the sign for "dad".

Also the sign for girl and boy are somewhat similar. It makes it easier to remember the signs knowing that they are connected just like speech.

Watching Sing Language

Today we had a class meeting and I was able to recognize some of the signs that the interpreter was saying! It was really cool and makes me want to learn more.

Update

I have continued to study and work on sign language. I have not learned any new words but have continued to practice the words I already learned. I have found that thinking "what would this conversation be in sign language" has helped me practice. I've also used "good morning" regularly. 

These are my strengths and weaknesses

I think that this is really cool. Having a future mindset will definitely help me accomplish my goals in life and humor and zest will help the journey be more fun.
