This week, I finished my first Signed English song. I am super excited about it! I signed it out for my friends on Halloween but I still can't go fast enough to match the song so I had to dictate what I was signing which sounded a little weird, but still very exciting. I am able to pick apart my knowledge of signs to form phrases which is really cool. On Friday I slept over at my friend's house and tried to sign every word I knew in my normal speech. This wasn't a lot comparatively, but it made me feel good being able to sign random words in the conversations I was having. I think I am going to learn more of the songs in my time in class, because I think it helped to learn words in context instead of just watching a video where the words are just dictated then signed.
I also started learning numbers this week, which is much more complicated than I expected it to be. Once you get in the high 20s and on there is a pattern, but up to that is really confusing. Next week, I want to focus on solidifying counting, and learning colors and foods.
