Final Post

           


Thank you for following me on this journey and what a great journey it has been. There have been many ups and many downs on my learning path and I have learned a lot about sign language. I still cannot get over the fact that I learned the ASL alphabet! 

This is nowhere near the end of my journey and my current plans are to continue learning sign language until I am able to communicate in it properly. Once I able to communicate in sign language, I will see where I will go from there.

Signing my Way to Longer Sentences

Image
This is week 6 of my Genius Hour Project, and this week I tried to communicate in longer sentences, the keyword being tried . It was a nice goal to have for this week, but sadly a goal that I was not able to complete. I feel like I still need to learn more words in sign language and learn how to construct the sentences when signing before I can properly communicate in longer sentences.  All the new words that I learned in sign language this week Forgetfulness I've noticed that the signs I have previously learned are signs that I am now forgetting as I am not using them. To counter this I will try to watch more than one Bill Vicar video in a week. He repeats a lot of the previously learned signs, which can help with the memorization process. I will also try to use signs when I am speaking, so far to date I have said I will do this, but haven't.  This week I learned that all yes or no questions require the eyebrows to be raised. This is similar to all WH - questions that requi

Learning Sign Language

  Welcome back to my Blog! This is week four of my Genius Hour project and this week I finally started learning gestures in sign language. I can say that I feel confident about some of the signs I have learned this week and I can finally start to sign some short sentences (albeit rather slowly). However, I still have difficulty understanding signing when its being down in normal speed, I definitely need the other person to sign slowly, so I can recognize the gestures and have time to process what is being signed. Learning process This week I have been watching Bill Vicars Lessons to learning sign language and not going to lie I kind of wish I had learned the alphabet first. He uses the alphabet a lot in his videos and I am just sitting there lost as to what he is signing with the alphabet. On the positive side I have learned some of the letters. I know the letters, a, b, s, l and o. B and O I mainly know because when he would ask for his student to sign out a name, I would sign "

  Hello everyone and welcome to my Blog! My name is Jasman Nagra and I am currently in the Concurrent Education Program at Brock University. My teachables are biology and chemistry. I don't think I have ever written a blog before so this is pretty new to me, but it seems interesting and fun so I am excited to see where this blog will go! The topic I have chosen for my Genius Project is to learn sign language. I remember trying (where I would try for a day and give up) to learn it in elementary and middle school. I was interested in learning sign language when I was younger  because I remember that in the agenda's that we were given, there would be a page dedicated to showing the alphabet in sign language. I always thought it would be cool to learn it, but it was difficult as some of the signs looked the same. My interest was peaked again when I watched  A Quiet Place  and  The Silence . It would be a very useful skill to know in case we have aliens that are sensitive to sound o
