Closing Time, One Last Call for ASL

She, Them, He, We & All my ASL Learning
Six weeks, six weeks of learning ASL and posting blogs. It is crazy to think that this will be my last learning project post where I actually showcase some new learning. Before I move onto the new learning I wanted to share a little recap of everything I have learned so far: Now for my…

Time to Learn ASL, It’s Pretty Handy
