Week 7!!!!!!!

     This week was so good! We have had one snow day so far so I have had extra time to master signing. We also had a a one week break before this week and that gave me a lot of time to practice signing. I am very proud of the progress I have made over the past week. I am very excited to continue working because I am so close to signing fluently. The only reason I find signing challenging is because I am learning another language. I wish I would have chosen  to master one language at a time because learning a new language is very difficult, but learning two new languages at the same time is even more challenging. By next week I hope to make more progress and check in with my group to see how much they have improved.

Week 6!!!!!!

     This week has been very helpful and I have learned how to be polite in sign language. One thing that I am very proud is that when people ask me how to sign something I can usually answer them. I can not come up with the answer every single time, but most of the time I can help people with what they need to sign. My group and I have been working on a sign for our names. We are not supposed to give ourselves name, so we are working on finding someone who can give us our name signs. By next week, we plan on having signs for our names. Another thing we are doing next week is talking to our mentor, because we want to make sure we are on track and learning the language at a reasonable pace.

Week 5!!!!!

     We had another great week this week. I am very proud of how far we have come since the first week. I am impressed by how many words I can sign. I have accomplished our four week goal of signing three to four sentences. After we all finish our blogs for this week we plan to learn some not so basic words. For example, we plan to learn most of the basic pronouns like I, me, he she, etc. Next week we plan to learn at least fifteen new words. So far we have learned a total of 47 words and the alphabet. We have not talked talked to our mentor yet because we have not ran into any problems  that required us to contact her.
