I asked some people in the administration if I could make this post, and they agreed, so here goes

Sign language, eh? I just might.

[derped]

I think it's really useful, but I might be biased. :)

I think it's a really useful language though - it's not like a lot of people think, where it's just ... you know, English translated into signs. It has its own grammar, its own syntax, and everything. You can spell words out in English with the alphabet, but most actual sign language isn't like that at all.

[gunite]

Isn't it? I don't know much about sign language, but it must have its benefits. Especially with its differences from English. From what I gather, it's a fair course to take.

[derped]

It's just as much a foreign language as French was in the language class last year.

Sign language would be almost perfect for back home, but I'm not sure I could fit it in.

Any chance you'd be willing to spend time teaching it informally? And I'll just read whatever textbooks you need.

[ooc: he might actually have to time to fit it in since they'll allow 6 electives now but, I'm not sure the color rules still apply.]

I wouldn't mind doing that at all! I was going to do it before, but the Headmaster said they'd be putting in a class soon, so I didn't really need to. If you don't have the time, though, I can try and do it on my own. :)

Sure! What times have you got free?

[derped]

Anytime that isn't classtime, it looks like. I'm not in any makeup courses or anything.

I guess I could just use it as another tutoring session or something, too, if people wanted that. I mean, I'm not really ... an official teacher, or anything. It just seems right, though, to help out.

Sign language? That's like hand signals, right?

[derped]

I think so, yes. I haven't heard it called 'hand signals' before, but that sounds right!

[monkingaround]

'Hand signals' makes it sound sneakier. But it sounds pretty fun already!

[derped]

It is!

... then again, I guess I grew up speaking it, so it's natural to me.
