Katrina, Jo, and I walked around Target and Katrina just pointed out things to me and asked me to guess the sign. Most of them were common sense, but a few of them I had to think about a little longer. This is how I learned most of my vocabulary, like food, clothing, and other household items. I really enjoyed doing this and I think it was a great way to learn. The words stuck in my mind because I had to work to figure them out, instead of just having them told to me. It's really nice having Jo with us because she grew up speaking ASL and often knows things that Katrina doesn't, even though she is fluent.
Side note: I am only writing about one of the two meetings I have each week, because one of the meetings is when I go to church on Saturday morning, so I basically only learn religious vocabulary at those meetings, instead of a variety of things.
