Well I haven’t blogged in awhile. I guess because of many things, but mainly no followers. How does one get followers? <\/p>\n
Any way, I completed my year at Waubonsee<\/span> Community College. I did OK, but not well enough to enter the ITP<\/span> program, so I am now enrolled at Harper Community College in the hope of completing my quest in becoming a good interpreter.<\/p>\n This class is designed to teach me how to fingerspell<\/span> and read fingerspelling<\/span> as well learning the numbering system as much as possible. I must admit this class was harder than expected. I am really working my tail off and I have only had two classes. It’s hard to read the letters as not individual but as a whole. I don’t even know if that’s possible<\/span>. I’m trying to learn the shape of the word and take context clues and first and last letters to fill in the blanks. This is not easy. <\/p>\n I guess it’s like any other language, you have to learn. If it’s not your first language it won’t be easy. I wish I could find a deaf mentor. That would help immensely<\/span>! I could practice and learn from thoes who use it everyday, not just thoes who teach it.<\/p>\n No offense to the teachers, but who better to learn from than from the people who grew up with it. <\/p>\n Well I guess for now, that’s all. I hope to post more later and eventually even get followers. Deaf followers with suggestions and help would be best, but teachers and students will be helpful to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well I haven’t blogged in awhile.
