Learned a couple new phrases and important questions. Having so much fun learning this cool language!
Challenges Overcome: Really enjoying ASL and having fun. Just 10 - 15 mins a day goes a long way!

Update #3: Yes, no, asking for water

75% complete
Learned important signs like "water". Next time I'd like to learn to say "want", "need" for myself and also asking others
Next Steps: Saying "I want something" and asking people about themselves
Looking Back: @ryan mentioned that facial expressions are very important to match the sign, something I wasn't doing before. Now I try to match my face to the sign's intent to express emotion

Update #4: How are you? What's your name? I want to learn.. Complete!

100% complete
A few questions to someone else. This has been super fun and looking forward to continuing more ASL! ASL LOVE has been a great resource
Challenges Overcome: Important context phrases like saying "I'm Learning" are important for people to know to go slow and patient with you
Obstacles Faced: Remembering all the signs precisely. I think I should have said Hello with 5 flat fingers, not 2.
Next Steps: Refine and learn more!
Looking Back: You and Your are not the same sign!
