Genius Hour Update

Another week has gone by in which I have had the opportunity to work on my Genius Hour project. I have learned many new basic signs which encompass the categories of family, places, time, temperature, food, clothes, health, feeling, requests, amounts, colours, money and animals. I have been using this great website that has everything from basic signs to sentences and grammar. It focuses on teaching individuals ASL and has been very helpful in my journey so far.

I recently discovered on the above website a self-study guide for those who are learning ASL, and I am now going to start using this. This has been a difficulty for me so far, often encountering questions such as "where do I start?" and "where do I go next". I am a person who likes plans and lists, so I believe no that I have found this resource, it will organize and speed up my learning of ASL.

In my last post, I said that I needed to continue practicing so I do not forget the new signs I learned, and over the past week I have both learned new signs and remembered ones from the previous week as well. This definitely makes me very excited in that I am retaining what I am learning...I hope this continues as my vocabulary starts to grow even more!

Thanks for continuing to follow along with my Genius Hour project, and feel free to leave any comments or questions that you may have!
