I was wondering...if anyone would like to play a game! After everything that's happened I thought maybe something fun would be good to take people's minds off of things.
It's called word association and you basically start off saying a word and then the other person has to think of another word they associate with it! It's really fun, and I think everyone could learn a bit more about each other playing it. Feel free to play with each other too. I. I just want everyone to enjoy themselves. So I'll start with the word: white! Now you have to think of a word that you associate with it.
But! That's not what I...really wanted to talk about. I. I also wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in learning sign language. I know we can all understand each other inherently here, which is amazing, isn't it? People can understand speech and writing but I'm not sure I've met many people who know sign language off the bat. I...think that learning a new language might be fun for some people, right?
[ Maaaybe?! He's so bad at this. Maybe this wasn't a good idea?! He doesn't even know. He's awkward so please don't rag on him too bad!! He's so not good with addressing entire networks of people and offering to teach people stuff. ]
Anyway. If you have any questions, or would even like to offer up your own language to teach or learn...please don't hesitate to speak with me! It could be like an exchange of sorts! And we could have weekly meetings, it might be fun! [ Or not. ] Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it!! And please have fun playing this game with one another!
[ Shigeru?! He forgot to mention to keep it PG-13, whoops. Please don't be too naughty. Think of the children!!
Ooc: assume this is after the Port Sylvel disaster! ]

smores!
And it's difficult, like all other languages, but it's also...different from them, I guess? It's more about memorization than anything.
no subject
well, i wouldn't know unless i try. memorising it just means practising and studying a lot.
[Compared to... swordsmanship?]
no subject
That's right! It's kind of like...anything else, really. The good thing is that there's no grammar or things like that when it comes to sign language.
no subject
nice. i don't want to mess up on that part, you know? that and maybe making sure i'm doing it properly.
[Is it possible to mis-sign something?!]
no subject
Oh! Well messing up is part of the learning process, isn't it? So it's definitely okay to make mistakes when you're learning. Signing is pretty different if you're not familiar with at least a little of it.
no subject
that's what i thought. i don't think i have any other questions, so i can't wait to learn, shigeru!
