Hi !! Definitely not a weird question ! 😊 So what I do is I watch videos on Youtube by Bill Vicars, he has a ton of videos teaching ASL. I watch his videos that are called “lesson one”, “lesson two”, etc so that I can follow along in order 😊 I linked one of his lesson one videos below ! In his videos, he will go through different vocab words in the beginning of the lesson, and those words will be on a screen between himself and the student he is working with.

What I do is that I write down each of the vocab words in each lesson as well as the practice phrases he does. Each lesson will be a different page in my notes so that I can go back to the video and practice the signs ! Then once I’ve practiced enough, I can look at my notes without the video and try to remember each sign 😊 I usually make flash cards for each lesson too😊

Hope that helps!!

Our zoo is known for raising cheetah cubs. Cheetahs have a terrible infant mortality rate and cubs are often rejected, so we get a lot of cubs to raise from all over the country (other zoos and sanctuaries, mostly).

The cubs are placed with a puppy friend when they are wee and small, so they grow up together like littermates. They play together, wrestle, and the dogs (yellow Labs) are so calm, friendly and well-socialized that the cheetahs take behavioral cues from them. When they meet new people, or go into new situations (which they often do, as ambassador animals for cheetah conservation), they check out if their dog friend is feeling chill - which he is - and then they know it’s okay for them to be chill, too.

Basically the dog is a service animal for them.

The cats need their dog friends less and less as they get older and more comfortable, but they still often hang out as grownups.
