I think and think about doing ASL and what actually happens
must be confusing for my Deaf friends! Because not only do
I go back and forth between ASL and probably PSE (but
really its more something I've invented myself..lol!) Who
knows what it really looks like!?, but add to that I am
dsylexic too. So if I get really nervous, I will think a sign
and sign the next one after it or reverse signs and do
the opposite sign of what I intended to do. And then
if I recognize I just made a error, my brain goes into
slow motion and then I space out and thats when I
wish I had an "or something" board like yours! Sometimes
I just stop and... hold my hands. sigh
I will keep trying though! Watching the comedy ASL vids
are really helping. I notice when I am laughing a new sign
sinks into my memory. Today I learned the sign for honesty,
(coda brothers)and "who else is in here?" Thats the one
where you drag your little pinky finger in front of you like
you are saying come here with it! I liked that one! At least
I think thats what it meant(coda brothers again, I like those
guys) Thanks for whoever suggested them. I really liked the
um... deffication story. haha Believe it or not I've had two
full years of ASL. ASL 1, 2, 3, and 4,(I took ASL 1 and 2 twice)
and even though I got an A in my last class
I still feel like I did when I was in my first semester when I
try to use my receptive skills. Oh well! I guess Dory would say,
"Just keep signing...Just keep signing....ladeedade...lol
