I want to learn how to play the guitar and I don’t know if it will be REALLY difficult. Same with sign language. I know about 10 words so far. I am going to start learning at least 5 words a day, to avoid cramming. I want an acoustic guitar, but want to learn before I actually buy one. Is that even possible?! Plus, I can’t afford a guitar yet.

    You could rent a guitar and see if it’s what you want. I think your doing the right thing in learning the signs and then practicing is what is really gonna help you with what your doing in both areas.

    I have a hearing-impaired student ( high school) that requires an interpreter. The other students ask her how to say things to talk to the deaf student.

    She became an interpreter because she had a deaf friend and HAD to learn to communicate. So I guess it’s not hard if you are motivated.

    I also have observed the deaf student going to websites and watching videos that use sign language-I don’t know the websites.

    Guitar can be easy AND hard. It depends on the type of mastery of the guitar you are interested in.

    Strumming chords–NOT HARD.
    Picking out melodies is a little harder.

    I like to go to Youtube and watch people teach how to play, and watch those that play really good. Pretty inspirational.
