Ms Wendy Murray:
On going abroad, I did a year abroad at Gallaudet University in the United States. I had to do a course in American sign language before I was allowed to attend any lectures. The purpose of this four-week crash course was to try to get as much of the basic linguistic structures and vocabulary into my head before I did my main course of study.
