critical thinking
Yes, I couldn't agree more. It seems the longer I'm alive the more everything takes this analyzation process. I'm glad you are enjoying your ASL class! It is fun, but even that if you get into it far enough has it's own politics. I'm a sign language interpreter at another college and the interpreting process is also very analytical. It's done simultaneously while the speaker is talking so you have to intake the english language and quickly anaylze and convert it into your outgoing translation in sign. Sore brains are definitely the blessing and curse of being a human; it's that we can and therefore must reason.

I must say that I was impressed the first day by the interpreter for my ASL class. My instructor is deaf so the first day we had an interpreter. Of course I knew nothing and couldn't ascertain how someone could see all of these, what seeemed to be, slightly different movements and yet get an entire dialogue from them. I undertsand enough now to be able to determine the gist of the conversation, and have been motivated to take further sign language classes in an attempt to become fluent. I have a lot of respect for translators of all languages, but a new found respect for sign language interpreters - my hat is off to you!
