I was taught a few phrases in fourth grade. My English teacher handed out bookmarks with the few phrases I learned but I quickly forgot them after I lost because I never really needed to use sign language with anyone.
It’s a good thing she did! And sign language is a good thing to learn. It’s a way to support our peers that can’t hear!
Absolutely! Not to mention, it’s a skill that’s in demand and fetches a really nice price if you’re fluent. That’s a bonus, though. Learning even some is something we could all stand to do. Every effort counts 🙂
That is true! I should try and learn more. I can teach my kids too. We could study it together.
That’s awesome, Mitzi! I’ve never needed them since my daughter started talking, so I’ve fallen out of practice too. But, I would be willing to learn again!
