Finger Spelling

One of the key parts in learning S.E.E. signing is reading finger spelling and also finger spelling yourself. At first it was difficult for me because I had never learned that much signing in my life all at once. I mean, I could sign the letters of the alphabet pretty slow and only in that order. As weeks went by and lesson after lesson after super fun activities, finger spelling has become so much easier. It's still new to me, but just today, I found that it was easier to finger spell than to just spell with speech.

The moment where I knew it was easier to finger spell with speech, rather than just speech spelling, was when my six-year-old sister asked me to spell a word. Usually when someone asks me how to spell a certain word, I always have to write it out in the air with my finger, or spell the entire word in my head again just to make sure I was right. Except now, with this new skill of finger spelling, it is SO much easier.

Learning S.E.E. signing is definitely something I am continuing on until there is no more classes I can take. (For now, I have classes to take that will continue on until the end of summer!)
