How to learn sign language
It made me
 "signing has been really fun and i look forward to being able to use it when it's needed"
How I did it: i bought signing for dummies and practiced with my coworker who already knew how to sign. now i know enough to have some basic conversations. i can sign ideas pretty quickly but it's still hard for me to read when someone is signing at normal speed. the more i use it though the better i imagine i will be. Lessons & tips: having someone who already knows sign language will be a real help because sometimes it's difficult to understand the signs from a book. Resources: signing for dummies

Excited
How I did it: I took a couple of classes at my school. We learned about deaf culture and made deaf friends. When we went on outings, we would learn more and even slang. Being around deaf people made me learn more than I did in a class. Read how I did it…
It made me
capable
How I did it: I've been able to sign pretty well all my life. Both of my parents are deaf, so I've pretty much been brought up being able to sign to them. It makes communication so much easier, and it's a good thing to put on my CV :)I've never taken any courses or anything, if I want to know a new sign I just ask mum or dad. Read how I did it…

When I was in 5th grade I took a sign language class after school.
My teacher taught it.
I could do it pretty well.
I could have small conversations.
I really want to learn again.
I just don’t know how…I don’t think they have classes at my University…I’m not 100% on that though…
Maybe I can get a book or do something online.

Only learned a little bit in high school, mostly the alphabet, and my name of course lol! But I really want to learn more stuff like the morse code and all that kind of stuff. The more languages and stuff you know, the more you can communicate with different people, and I really want to travel to Mexico and other places in the world, so this will be cool!

The second level of my class got canceled. I’ve got to find another way to approach this because I want to learn more and I don’t want to forget what I’ve already grasp. So change of plans but it simply means change of course not the destination!
