I took a class in Taiwanese Sign Language

I took a class recently in Taiwanese Sign Language. I was fortunate to find a free course. I think I could have a basic conversation now. Hopefully someday I can learn more.

I watched the Taiwanese movie “Hear Me” which is mostly in sign language. I had English subtitles, but I recognized some of the signs. It was a really good movie.

get business cards
Really need to

I’ve been given several, but never had any to give back. I want to get some, but I’m planning to move next year and I’d hate to have a bunch of business cards with the wrong address. However, they are pretty cheap. I suppose I could also get them without my address on them. I wish I’d had them in time to give to my students that I finish with tomorrow.
