Loved:
I absolutely love my instructor, Paulette! She is very talented in helping us to remember the signs. She is also very effusive and that keeps us engaged; the two hour class flies by!
Improvements:
I would like the vides to watch in between weeks to be improved. 1) I would like to them to show the word before the sign, as, right now, I have to dart my eyes to the right to see the title of the slide and when I dart my eyes back to the video, she has nearly completed the sign. I would also love the sign to be done in real time, then slowed down, then real time again. At present, I slow the video speed to 50%.

Appreciate your input and will be sure to share with the teacher to improve on slowing the pace down so you can see the word with the signs. Thank you for your review.

Eve takes such time to guide us through each word and movement. Having total immersion not only underscores the importance of Deaf spaces, but has been a great learning incentive!
Improvements:
For those hungry for it, additional sources to study would be greatly appreciated! Like YouTube links.
