It's been so long since I've written a post, I was surprised to see that the last one was about sign language, and here I am 5 weeks into an ASL course. I'm enjoying the class, the teacher has a great personality and is patient. At first, the classroom setting left a little to be desired, since there is much one-on-one that occurs, but now I appreciate that there is often clarification to be gained, and the moments that intersperse between being shown new signs helps to integrate and practice what is learned.
If you are interested in ASL, www.lifeprint.com is a great site.
