That's pretty cool.
Is it hard learning from him if he can't talk?

He has an interpretor, so not really. He told us that many ASL teachers don't use an interpretor, they write everything on the board and then sign it. He says that that is boring, slow, and hard for people who write sloppily. He then showed us that he writes most sloppily. 3nodding
But i have no problems, i'm picking it up much much better then i did french in highschool. For one thing, you don't have to worry about how to spell things, and you can mutter to yourself as you sign, nobody cares. Some people seem to be having some troubles, but i don't think its cause he doesn't talk.
I like the using and interpretor idea. I can see how that'd be easier that writing on the board then signing it out. I guess that way is cheaper for schools though - they don't have to pay for an interpretor.
I hated French. But it may have had something to do with my teacher. She was eeeevil. stressed
My french teacher was the devil in human form. She had this thing about letter height, and said that practically every e looked like a c because "it wasn't open enough". She taught strictly by the book and said "Je m'appel" "Jer mah pell" or something like that. And then told us that we were saying it wrong when we said it the same way she did.
My French teacher couldn't let things go. She was also my English teacher in Year 12 of high school.
We were a few weeks off of going into our exam, and there was some confusion about the usage of dictionaries during the 10 minutes at the begining allocated for reading the exam. One teacher said we could use them, she said we couldn't. We tried arguing with her, and her argument was because the FRENCH students in our school weren't allowed to use a French-English dictionary during reading time, neither were the English students.
Finally I said "Well, can you see the year co-ordinator and make sure", so she did. Came back maybe 10 minutes later, and stiffly told us we were actually allowed to use our dictionaries during reading time during the English exam.
"I still think it's cheating," she says.
Ten minutes of silence passes while we're writing or reading, or whatever we were doing to prepare, when she starts up on it again. "I think it's wrong you can use your dictionary during reading time. It's like cheating."
Another ten minutes or so of silence of studying before she starts up again...
I swear, she was psychotic.
