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

This gifset shows how Gabriella gives Ariel a sign name based on her long hair, notice how she use the first letter of Ariel’s name in sign form (letter ‘A’) to ‘write/draw’ with both hands the hair of our favorite redhead.

In Deaf culture and sign language, a sign name (or a name sign) is a special sign that is used to uniquely identify a person, just like a name.

Name signs come in all forms. Some are based on the person’s birth name or initials. Some are based on their physical features or personality traits. And other name signs might be based on the person’s interests.

UPDATE: Having a sign name is very meaningful for the deaf community, and it could even be considered an honor. They are created and used exclusively by members of deaf culture.

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

Dan Radcliffe addresses ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Johnny Depp controversy: ‘Harry Potter’ kicked someone out for weed

Harry Potter star Dan Radcliffe has issued some criticisms against Warner Brothers and the film’s production team for continuing to employ Johnny Depp despite the allegations made against the Grindelwald actor.

“I suppose the thing I was struck by was, we did have a guy who was reprimanded for weed on the [original Potter] film, essentially, so obviously what Johnny has been accused of is much greater than that.”

I appreciate that he’s just very “you fired a teenager for smoking weed but you’re going to defend a wife beater? Thanks for the job and everything but fuck all of you.”
