Languages

In class we have started to learn about languages and at the end of the day we take our computers to the class in which we learn a language. In my case I go to room forty-one to learn New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL).

So far we have learnt a few greetings, the alphabet, a few numbers and how to say our names. Or rather how to sign our names. I wasn't there in the second lesson as I was away at art extension so I don't know much more than that. I can sign "How are you" and other short phrases along with a few simple words. 

Most of the time when you sign you don't need to add in the small conjunctions such as the and so on. 

Another thing we learnt was about the dominant hand and how it effects the way you sign a little. The way it was explained was by using three groupings of sign language. The first was when you used only one hand so you use the hand you write with ie the dominant hand. The second was when it didn't matter as you use both hands to make the same motions and the third was when you used different motions with both hands. In this case the dominant hand is the one that does most of the work.
