Last night was ASL class night and it is getting much more intense, but good. We reviewed some basics like our alphabet and numbers, then divided into pairs for some practice asking and answering questions together. After that, we all watched some video of a family signing with each other and had to figure out what was being said. It was great practice, but also pretty hard (at least for me!). They were talking pretty fast and using some vocabulary that we know, but different signs which makes it tricky. Anyhow, it was intense, but a great learning situation and we have more vocabulary to learn this week. We have enough vocabulary now to make lots of conversation with each other for practice and that’s been really great in my house because there are so many of us signing and learning the same thing. Kinsey, my daughter, didn’t get to take the class, but her fiance, Jarryd, has been teaching her and she signed to me this morning! I loved it! I’ve seen people signing across the room to each other and it is really great to see! They are all enjoying it.
