some language learning tips for anyone that can sign

one of the things that make it really easy for me to learn a language is being physical, using visuals and all that jazz

so im trying to learn italian atm, and something that is actually really helping me learn basics like personal pronouns is by signing the words while saying them in italian at the same time

so instead of mouthing i or me when i point at myself, i mouth io to remind me that io means i, etc

tips when learning a new language

- sticky notes e v e r y w h e r e

- one thing that honestly helps so much is memorising simple verbs and using it in phrases in your head. so for example if i’m in the park i’d say “ég er aðg anga to the swing set” in my head or point out words like tree and repeat the word but in the language you’re learning. the more you use simple words that are used commonly- your brain will automatically start thinking that they’re useful and memorize them better

- conversATION is so important- but if you’re learning a language that is not commonly spoken like a nordic language or javanese then write stories with dialogue in the language. you can mix it with your native language as well- kinda like spanglish. at first you’ll feel like a kg student but it’ll eventually get much better and you’ll see the difference
