Sign Language progress.

I have been attending Sign Language classes every Tuesday since last year. I believe we've progressed a great deal from last year. For example, things such as numbers and alphabets which were initially pretty confusing when we first learnt them have now become pretty common and easy to use at disposal due to the number of times we've been using them.

Over the past few months we've been learning a wide range of vocabulary and we often have short conversations amongst each other just to put what we've learnt in practical use. And so this improves our collaboration skills as we frequently communicate with each other using sign language.

Something new that we've been doing for the past 3 weeks is having a small quiz at the end of the lesson with the things we've learnt in that lesson along a few other stuff that we had learnt in previous lessons. This turned out to be pretty useful since it acts like a refresher for the previous vocabulary we learnt.

Table Tennis

In the past semester, I had been attending the Table Tennis after school activity. As someone who didn't have much prior experience in this sport, I reckon i've improved quite a bit and have become quite confident when playing a game compared to when I first started.

I was able to work collaboratively with various members who were present during the secession which allowed me to develop new skills in terms of the serves I make, etc.

Overall, I'd say that this activity helped benefit me since it allowed me to undertake a new challenge and I am now much more comfortable with playing this sport now that I have had prior experience.
