    Hey! Looks good.

    I hope you learn loads on level 1 and start to feel more and more confident.

    I’m having a break from sign this year, although I may not have actually failed my level 2 exam as my old tutor has put in an appeal for me - having seen the video and decided it didn’t deserve a fail :)

  2. lette :

    yeah I have my basic done from last year, and I need sign now more and more, so im gonna continue, so level one will be tougher and well worth it, we also have an exam at the end of it! so thats a little scary but ill keep practicing :)
