ASL

This semester I am taking ASL 101. That's right, I'm learning sign language. On day one, I learned how to ask "how are you?" and how to respond. I can count to ten and I know the whole alphabet. I can now ask what school someone goes to, ask if they are a student or teacher and answer those questions. I can ask all the 'wh' questions and say "I know", "I don't know", and "I forget". I can ask if someone is deaf and let them know that I can speak. I really enjoy this class. For the hour and 40 mins that I have it, no one in the room speaks. My teacher is not deaf and he can speak, but we spend the whole class in silence, only communicating through sign language. I love ASL. This is going to be my faorite class this semester.
