Week 6, 110

[Taylor Rawls]

I went to Ellwood's with Katrina and Jo. The week before Katrina had asked me to learn 15 new words, so I could show her to next week. I did learn my 15 words, but the website I normally use, aslpro.org, sometimes has out-of-date words, so a few of the words I thought I knew had actually changed signs. ASL is also colloquial, so some of the words may have been signed the way I learned them in other places, but the sign was different in Richmond. One that was different was the sign for "falling in love," which I had learned as one thing, but was actually something else. I like learning the new words on my own, but I wish that there was a sure way of knowing that the sign I am learning is correct.
