ASL

I am in a Sign Language class. I really love it but it is really hard for me to grasp language concepts. I took two years of spanish, now I can't remember anything. I am in the 2nd semester of Sign Language and I feel like I don't learn it as well as I should but I really love it anyway. In hopes of becoming more motivated to learn, I am posting a video on here that we went through in class by this really cool guy on YouTube. Maybe someone can understand it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qpsbHPn1qk



For my class I also had to attend a "deaf activity" of some kind. In other words, I had to go to some function where there were deaf people present. My mom and I went to Sanderson Community Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Annual Bazaar a couple months ago. We (more like I ) felt totally out of place. My mom knows a little sign language from her friend from twenty years ago and I had only taken a semester of the language. It was funny because people could tell that we were hearing and they signed a lot slower to us and signed more in English than they normally would.

I just think that unlike any other language, Sign Language is a cool artform and very visual. I am a visual learner and like to think of myself as artistic so I figured that it would be easy to learn Sign Language rather than Spanish. I have a lot of work to do and then maybe one day I can post a video of me on YouTube.
