Reflection Week 9

This week, I missed the 20 Percent class time for kickoff. So, all of my time spent on sign language was at home. On Friday I spent a lot of time watching my brother, and we ended up going through a few tutorials together. He always used to watch the Goodnight Show on Sprout, which included a new word in sign language every night. He's only four, but he seems to understand at least a little bit what signing is, plus it's really cute to watch him try to mimic the motions. At the beginning of this project, we discussed the difficulties I might face. The main one was that I would not really have anyone to talk to. While that is still a challenge, my siblings have actually been pretty helpful with it. They are all pretty young and none of them are fluent, but they find the language interesting so if they see me practicing they like to jump in. It's not a full conversation, but every little bit helps and teaching them helps me to remember what I already know.
