“Let’s say, for instance, there are some words that I don’t usually manage, like signing them. But if I don’t know, I just spell them cause they know they are here to learn. So if I spell the same thing, they will understand. So there are some words that I do just signing by the other ways that are difficult that I can’t manage signing them. So if I can’t manage, I just spell for them, then they will know what I’m talking about.”
