become fluent in sign language

My ASL class is wonderful! I am going to take my second ASL class in the spring and am thinking about getting a degree in interpretation. :]

I’ve been in really interested in sign language for a large part of my life. I know a lot of random words and the alphabet, but I really want to become fluent in it. I’ve been told I have a knack for languages, so why not learn this awesome one?

I took 2 classes in college, and I enjoyed them, but I was too wrapped up in socializing to really become good at signing. I also taught my daughter when she was a baby to sign. It is a great form of communication that I would like to become fluent in.

I had some friends in High School who were deaf and I got pretty good at Sign Language! But since I graduated I have lost it all. I really want to learn it again and maybe be a translator. My boyfriend wants to learn too! This will be exciting. :]
I can’t wait!

I’ve been learning all my life from my deaf family members, but I’m not fluent yet. It’s because they have hearing aids and usually talk instead of signing, so I became used to not signing. Now I’m starting to sign more with them, and I’m picking it up very easily.

I went in for Orientation at school this past weekend, and found the pre-reqs for taking Sign I. I’m taking one of the pre-reqs this semester (Child Development / Child Development Lab), which is also required for my major, and next semester I’ll take Sign. So, we’re on the way to getting this accomplished. It’s a first step.

Instead of New Years’ Resolutions, I make Birthday Resolutions.

I have to finish this before my nineteenth birthday on 18 February 2009.

I’m going to try to take a class either this summer or in my first semester at school this fall.

i know some but i want to know it so much better and i dont know where to start.

I have two deaf siblings, many deaf friends and am familiar with the deaf community, so it is frustrating when I can’t completely understand what people are saying, although I know quite a bit of sign language already. Hopefully, I will become fluent and maybe even become a part-time translator. :)

I don’t really like sign language soo…yeah.
