What I have been working on:
So far, I have been working on religious vocabulary and the seasons. I want to focus on using complete sentences in the near future.
Statement:
I want to be able to recognize more words when I attend the ASL church.
Strategies:
The best way for me to memorize new words in ASL is repetition. Muscle memory plays a large part in learning new words.
Effectiveness:
I think the above method is very effective, as long as I remember to practice the words every day. If I forget a day, I sometimes forget a sign or two.
Building on what I have learned (language):
The more words I learn the closer I will be to putting together full sentences. One of my problems now is I can put together a sentence, but there is normally always one or two words that I don’t know the sign for and I have to either ask or just finger spell it.
Building on what I have learned (strategies):
I need to work more on practicing my ASL every day. No one around me understands ASL, but I think it would be beneficial for me to sign the signs I do know as I’m having normal conversations. This will also help me recognize which words I should learn the signs for.
