How did sign language get on there? It's like learning any other foreign language AND it's harder to find materials to study alone AND there's an entire shift in mindset from expressing things in sound to expressing things by position and movement. Pretty sure this is a task for more like 200 weekends.

excellent point, I should have left that one out because of the time constraint.

It is a very useful skill though! (but then again plenty of things are).
