Recently I have had the opportunity to work with a couple of deaf co-workers through one of my temp jobs. This experience has opened my eyes to the deaf community and in an effort to be communicate better with them I have been trying to teach myself ASL online through the site Start ASL. (Only one other person there out of a staff of about 20 people who are all there full-time has even made an attempt to learn ASL-I find that very sad) I am really falling in love with the language. Any tips?
by the way, I have not found an in person ASL class that is either affordable nor available at this time. There are some college course that go towards a degree but nothing at a Community College for folks that want to learn on a less formal level. Disappointing being that I live in such a large city. Unfortunately, I only work at that temp job once or twice a month at most so I am not able to practice with my co-workers as often as I would like to.
difficult child and easy child seem interested when they see me practicing online. Maybe we can learn together?
thanks
