ReplyDeleteWow, you sure have had a colorful life! As for me, mission accomplished!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about Christina, I was thinking a lot about her in the past weeks.
Enjoy your blog! My daughter (almost 9) is VERY interested in sign language. She has learned a lot on her own, but would like to become fluent..... any suggestions on how to learn???

Hi Cheri - it was fun getting to know a little bit more about you :)
ReplyDeleteLynn,
I enjoyed your post too :)
Heather,
Many churches, if they have a deaf dept., teach sign language - this is where/how I learned. However, the best way to really get fluent is to spend time with deaf people. I have found them to be infinitely patient and helpful in teaching you...and LOTS of fun. I just planted myself in the deaf department - most of my friends were deaf as were my son's friends. I became fluent very fast because I needed to...I think it is called total immersion :)
