Sign Language Second Meeting

October 21 was the second sign language club meeting. We reviewed what we learned last meeting which was the alphabet and common sayings. Surprisingly, I remember a lot of it. For the second meeting we learned how to sign animals and colors. Signing animals was easy because some of the signs were very obvious, and others had very cute signs which made it easy to sign and remember. The colors were very easy and fun to sign too. Also, we started to combine what we learned from the first meeting with the second meeting and we formed super simple sentences. Learning sign language takes time and a lot of practice.

Keeping up with Sign Language

After the first sign language meeting, its difficult to learn sign language by myself because I'm not surrounded by people who can help me. Also, its very hard to keep up with signs that I learned already if I don't practice everyday. Sign language is very difficult to learn because it is not with just your hand movements, but it's also with your body language and facial expressions. Since I'm trying to learn simple signs for certain words, I don't really use any other expression. I will try to practice more and more everyday even if its just learning a couple of signs everyday.
