Today I had lunch with one of my friends from the DCC - we will call him John. Mostly because that's his name. After lunch, we scooted over to Borders to enjoy free wi-fi and conversation about regional signs. True story, if you want to see him giggle himself silly, tell him you're from Cape Cod. (smile)
Anyway, we were practicing some French signs and we put together a sentence: It's easy to understand French sign language.
This, of course, would be a more useful phrase if it wasn't a flat lie. I have my go to phrase (how do you sign #?) [# if I remember correctly is what you throw in front of a word to indicate fingerspelling. If I'm wrong, it will have that meaning here] and it is the single most useful tool that has helped me improve my American Sign Language in the last few months (years). As long as the French are as patient with me as my friends at the DCC, I'm sure I will learn incredible things in Paris.
Today is a short update -Aislinn and I are going to E. Cox's ASL class in a little bit. I wanted to share these fantastic two websites sent my way:
Experience Free Paris (I'll be dead broke there, so free Paris is awesome Paris)
