Finished the last exam of level 3 sign language on 1st May, life back to normal (or boring) : work and home on weekdays.
Was struggling for few weeks rushing on assignments, outdoor activity with Deaf, story telling, presentation slides and preparation of exam. I was worried, yet everything had past now.
Grateful and thankful knowing Deaf friends, and learning sign language is not just about the sign, but also Deaf community cultures. Learning new term too, Deafhood.
Deaf, they are minorities, and being oppressed in many way. Can see they are fighting for their rights, to be treated equally in hearing-people dominant society.
I still can't sign and communicate with Deaf well, tend to forget vocabularies, but at least it is good starting point.
Learning is always a long journey, can't stop.
