Today I am going to write about my sign language class.

I started to learn sign language this April. The reason I started is because my friend was studying sign language to take a certificate examination and she taught me some of the signs and I found it interesting.
In my class there are people who are almost eighty years old to people who are sixteen.
There are forty people in the class and there are four teachers.
One of my teachers is almost deaf but she is able to hear very low sounds so she can speak almost normally.

So I started learning sign language. I enjoyed it from the first class but now I enjoy it even more. But the more I learn the harder it gets to memories the signs.
I also find it difficult to show my expression on my face. At firs I thought that to use sign language you only need to use your hands but actually making an expression on your face is part of the sign.
When people who are not deaf speak we don’t show our expressions as much as deaf people would have to so I still find it difficult and I think the other students find it difficult too.
Now I am in the beginners class so I want to study hard enough so that I can go to the middle class next year.
