become fluent in ASL

I just graduated from an ITP. Gosh I sure hope I’m fluent. Haha well, an important realization is that language is dynamic. It’s always changing and people in different areas have different ways to express themselves. I will ALWAYS be learning. hey it makes life interesting. Woot! “Life long learners.”

I don’t know if I’ll ever get there but I’m still working on it. This Summer I will have to set some major goals for myself. Perhaps going to at least a few deaf events a week. Re-reading my ASL Green-Book , Deaf Culture text, Linguistics, and Reading between the signs. I’m gonna go make myself a summer to do list! lol hopefully I’ll be motivated enough to keep studying this summer.

Life is short, so I want to spend my time doing something I really care about … If I become an interpreter I expect myself to be linguistically flexible and able to give quality interpretations. Hence real fluency in ASL is crucial!
~fingers crossed I get there eventually, wish me luck.
