I was just wondering what other people's first impression of trying sign language was like?
I was kind of disappointed that the class was taught by a deaf person which although makes the class more immersive lead to me not understanding quite a bit of the first class.
Would have liked if the teacher was not deaf so he could say out loud what each hand sign/movement meant. Instead of me needing to try and guess what it means due to context. This was not helped as half the class had done sign language before and were fine with this format even though this was a beginners course.
Got a set of notes online about what hand signs/movements mean what after the class from some site for the course but can't make out the movements from around half the pictures.
Any one have any tips with it/good sites to help with it as still want to try with it but not sure I can learn with the current condition of the course.
