How can I actually remember the signs I learn? I can remember them for a little bit but then the signs seem to slip out of my mind! Are there any strategies to remembering signs long-term?

Hello!!! I am a beginner so take this with a grain of salt but the signs I remember the most are the ones I connect with something! Like water is a W to your chin, like you're drinking water! This might just be me but that's how I remember them!

I typically try to practice at least one exam per day and when i learn a sign I connect it to something I know. Like coconut looks like shaking a coconut. There are definitely some signs this is hard to do with so for those I'd say just practice, especially trying to fingerspell them and use them in conversations!

what helps me is going back and retaking the big quizzes after each completed whole section. for example after completing 5 lessons in whole, I go back and retake all 5 exams. hope that helps..remember repetition results is remembering.

I am an interpreter and how I remember is I sign to myself every morning as I wake up. It one helps you wake up and two helps you remember what you have learned.
