Sign language for my “language” fufillment? How hard is it?
I’m extremely nervous about taking a second language in college. I only have to take one language class and then I am finished! I graduate!!
I was never any good in speaking another language in high school. I took 3 years of spanish and I do not know how I passed. I know that if I were at a college level, my professors would have never passed me. I can memorize vocabulary just fine but I have an awful time with the grammar and rolling the tongue etc…
The choices are, Sign language, arabic, chinese, spanish, or french.
I work with children, and I think that learning sign language would be pretty cool. I dont think that I’ll ever need to be totally fluent in sign language, but I think that as a teacher in a preschool classroom it can help me through my day. I’ve heard of teachers using sign language to communicate quietly with the children (instead of yelling clean up time the teacher preforms a certain sign that lets the children know its time to clean up, etc..)..
Sign language seems pretty reasonable as far as the difficulty goes. It seems like just memorizing hand gestures.
Is there a lot more to it than that??

left-handed sign language?
I am learning sign language, but I’m also left-handed so my natural instinct is to do all of the main movement with my left hand. Is that correct? Do you think if I signed to a deaf person they would be able to understand even if it’s backwards?

Which language is the easiest to learn and why?
Which language is the easiest to learn and why? The question is not necessarily for people who already know English, so it doesn’t matter whether or not the language is similar to English.
Real languages only. Sign language and Esperanto don’t count.
FYI, here’s my thinking. I’d appreciate your comments on it as well.
It’s probably not one of the Southeast Asian languages (like Chinese and Japanese) since they don’t even have an alphabet.
It’s probably not one of the romance languages (like Spanish, French, and Latin) because their verb conjugations are unnecessarily complicated.
It’s probably not English, since our spelling is irrational.
I’d guess one of the other Germanic languages. Maybe German.
