Sign Language

     I am the type of person who finds something interesting and becomes obsessed with it. It can be a word, a movie, a show, a phrase, or literally anything. So right now I'm obsessed with sign language. I am watching the show Switched at Birth and one of the main characters in deaf, so there is a lot of sign language in the show. It is just so cool. And I don't know about you, but I talk with my hands. I think most of us do. I just like the idea of talking with your hands, and it's an actual language that someone knows or could learn. 
    I am not fluent in the language, and I don't think I ever will be but its fun to learn. The grammar is very different from English, but I do a lot of fingerspelling. As of right now, I know the alphabet and most of the numbers. I can also say little phrases like"My name is Addi." and "I know few signs. I do know fingerspelling." Oh and just a side note, only a deaf person can give you a name sign. So for now, I have to fingerspell my name.  It is a very fun, interesting language.
