Introduction

Hi.

 My name is Randi Figueroa. I am 22 years old and the youngest in my family. A few interests of mine are: reading, writing, and trying new things. One of my favorite hobbies is going sky diving. My friend from high school and myself try to go once a year to go sky diving. Even though I am afraid of heights it is still really fun.

The languages I speak?? Well, English of course. I know some Spanish. You would think that with being Mexican and all it would be second nature when growing up in a bi lingual house hold. But, my parents stopped teaching my siblings and myself  Spanish. So my Spanish is very limited. I am currently learning American Sign Language at the moment.

I am taking English 213 to fulfill my requirements for the Language Study Certificate  in Sign Language. After this semester, I will have my Certificate in Language Studies in Sign Language.

Well, I am not quite sure about some of the experiences that I had that is related to language or language learning. I just know that when I was younger I know Spanish pretty well and I was a fast learner. If I had stuck with it I would probably be fluent right now. I also hear from my Sign Language teachers that I am a fast learner and that it will be easy for me to become fluent if I continue to try at it. So I guess if I put effort into the language I want to learn I have been a fast learner at it. Too bad for Spanish only a little of it stuck since most of what I talk at home is purely English.


Look forward to what this class has to offer.
