What I have been working on:
I have still been working on religious vocabulary and speaking in full sentences. I know all the seasons and am working on numbers larger than 10. I am also trying to get better at recognizing finger-spelling. If the speaker deliberately slows down, I can catch the word or name, but I can hardly ever catch the word if the speaker is signing at normal speed.
Statement:
I want to be able to speak in full sentences.
Strategies:
Even if I do not understand every word in a sentence, I have become much better at guessing the meaning of a sentence or group of sentences using context clues. I am able to recognize signs that I have learned and I can also guess what some signs mean just by how it is signed or which letter hand-shape is used to sign it.
Effectiveness:
Using context clues is very good for helping me understand others, but it does not help me when it becomes my turn to speak. However, everyone is very accommodating and will show me signs or repeat themselves when I need it.
Building on what I have learned (language):
I have continued to learn more religious vocabulary and have practiced putting full sentences together.
Building on what I have learned (strategies):
I have been trying to find different apps that could help me learn. There is one that a friend told me about that helps you practice finger spelling, which is something I need to work on.
