Paragraph 2- week two

This week we were learning all kinds of mythical creatures!  We learned mermaid, centar, goat man.  I am learning and noticing that they all have classifiers for each one of them which really helps me understand where to use the classifier.  I am learning that in the smaller classroom we aren't as noisy and therefore it makes a better learning enviroment to learn.  I am also learning that I need to work on free signing again cause I am so out of practice even though I free sign in my car.  I am looking forward to a whole new week of learning classifiers.

Paragraph 1- week one

This week in ASL has been interesting.  We have been working in the theater this week and I have found it harder to concentrate with such a large room.  I have also heard every sound from everyone clearly which made my concentration bobble.  We had a lot of side chatter which was also rough for me to concentrate on what you were trying to teach us.  One thing though that I understood was how there are three types of classifiers: Prefix, suffix and infix.  This was easy for me to understand how to signal them but I was unsure how and when you use each one.  I am looking forward to learning more about how and when to use them.
