SIgn Language 2.5
I don't know about anyone else, but it seems like everything is super busy this time of year. With that being said Maci and I chose to refresh our sign language skills this week. We reviewed most of what we have learned thus far. I found this to be much need because I'm having a hard time keeping all of the signs straight.
This week we collaborated with Brianna and what she has learned. We found that we were signing some things differently, but it mostly was just the difference in sources. The three of us also came to the conclusion that when signing you don't need most of the little words like "to" and "is". This made life a little difficult because we haven't figured out when they are used or not. We have defaulted to leaving them out most of the time.
I'll clarify about the shortening of phrases a little. In English we would normally say "my name is Brooke". However, when signing you sign my, name, and then spell out your name. You basically just use the important words an throw out the little less impactful ones.
Using the two photos attached, you should be able to sign "my name is ..."
Next week I hope we are able to continue adding to our simple conversation vocab. I'm hoping we are able to combine what we have learned in the past 5 weeks into this as well. Talking with Briana is really helping us so I think we will continue to do that too. Stick around for next week's progress.

I wasn't super productive last week; it probably is this time of year. The more you use the signs, the easier they should be to remember I think. How do you decide which sentences to shorten?
ReplyDeleteThat is kind a weird that Brianna and you were signing things differently,but I'm glad it that working with Brianna has helped. It has helped me a bit when I work with Kelli on Thursdays also.
