I'd remark on how fast Reina and Mom both seem to have gotten remarkably proficient, but then again, so did Hisao. Perhaps language learning is just canonically easier in the KS universe.
I've taken some liberties with how quickly they are learning, but having been through a super intensive language course myself (albeit not for sign language), I've tried to keep things within the realm of possibility. It's only been 5 weeks, but they have a ton of hours under their belt. Especially with all the work they do outside of class.
Reina and her mom are also like, super smart! And they are especially motivated after all, given the situation! And Misha is the best teacher ever!
Or something.
