~Making Progress~
Today our conversation (signing) went like this:
Haylee: Hi, how are you?
Kalei: I am good, how about you?
Haylee: Do you want to go to the store today?
Kalei: Yes I do, are you going to drive?
Haylee: Yes, I will pick you up at 5:00.
Im sure a person who specializes in sign would have told us we did something wrong, or maybe if not been able to understand what we were saying because we were signing so slow, but never-the-less, we understood what eachother meant and that is progress my friends!

Sign Language pt 2 ~Simple Phrases~
Now that we have basic words and communication down, we are learning Simple phrases today.
- " Whats your name"
- "Are you deaf"
- "Where do you work"
- "Where do you live"
- "How are you"
Kalei and I have definitely learned enough to communicate "fluently" without anyone knowing what we are talking about even though we are talking about how old are grandparents are and if we are deaf or not! There are some websites that have been a great help to us.
We cant wait to learn enough to the point that we can actually say what we want to say not just " i like apples" and "my name is.." :) I have gone home and taught my little brothers words we have learned so we can communicate without my parents knowing!
Sign Language pt 1 ~Baby Steps~
•Basic Communincation•
Today we became a 9 month old baby in the eyes of sign language. We are learning the basic words such as: numbers, letters, mom, dad, hello, how are you, whats your name, how old are you, do you sign..... basic conversation starters. We both already knew the alphabet and just needed to brush up on our skills, but pretty much everything past that and the middle finger, is all new to us.
It's not that hard to find help videos and tutorials online, and thats how we are learning. Here are a few of the websites we are using to learn the basic words and small phrases
