ESL is English Second Language. I know you know that too! LOL! Reason I am telling you about this because just had conference with my dad. He said this and I said that. We see different in our experiences in language courses. Mother took Spanish and Father took French. Me took nothing, maybe English. Why English? I been using the American sign language in deaf community as communication access. Where is language of English? No.

I raised learned in English language then SEE (Signing Exact English) plus TC (Total Communication) then ASL (American Sign Language). English? No. I took advanced classes on Reading, and English during I was kid. Later on, I started to use the ASL and my English become low than except. I do reading and writing a lot. That helps me see what I am doing.

Many times, I took my times to hanging with my friends and learning that they are studying English and Reading in Elementary school level. Mine is into Secondary school level. I wondered why they took that level is because they only learn sign language then English in the common world. They could take Secondary school level in college or university if requested.

Gimme an example:

Spanish into English. Translated.

French into English. Translated.

Sign Language into English. Translated. (no way to translated, visibility only)

All languages had translated. ESL is helping them understand the language as English. I do not know much about foreign language outer there but see the pictures if we are living in France and FSL (French Second Language). Ha!

Have a good evening!
