My name is Kait and I'm 20 years old. I'm hearing, but I don't remember ever not knowing some random signs (for ex. eat, talk, more, water) and how to fingerspell. My mom (also hearing) used to be fluent in ASL and these "basics" were how we used to communicate when I had gymnastics meets. If the team needed a snack, water, or medicine I could tell her and she would do what she needed to get it for us. Little 8 year old me felt SO cool, hahaha.

I took ASL 1 and 2 in high school, where I learned more random signs and grammar. I struggle with real conversations (in class they were all scripted) and am hoping to practice more and become fluent someday. I'm finishing up my last semester of Spanish that's required for my major, so I can focus on ASL now.

- difference between COOK and KITCHEN?
  
  By johnnyberrh · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  Hey there! I saw your question on the forum about the "COOK" and "KITCHEN" signs. It's super common to get them mixed up when you're starting out, so no worries at all! Here’s a quick breakdown of the difference: The sign for COOK is an action. You typically mimic flipping something in a pan (like a pancake) with a flat hand, or stirring a pot. The sign for KITCHEN is a location. You tap the heel of your flat, dominant hand a couple of times on the back of your non-dominant hand, which is also flat. It represents a countertop or surface in a kitchen. From your description, it sounds like the second sign you couldn't figure out might have been "KITCHEN" again, or perhaps a different verb related to cooking. In ASL, the context of the sentence makes the meaning clear. Keep practicing—you're on the right track!
