https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81927923150 Our mission is to provide the opportunity to learn American Sign Language for anyone who wishes to learn it; whether that be for educational, personal or professional reasons. American Sign Language is a unique, naturally-occurring language that developed independently of spoken English. Our focus is on developing the skills necessary to communicate with a variety of members within the Deaf community. The activities and materials used in this class have been designed with that focus in mind.
This six-week summer class provides opportunities to have some introductory lessons in ASL for people who want to learn conversational ASL to deepen relationships or just for fun. You’ll find this course makes it easy and enjoyable for beginners to master the essentials of ASL. Throughout this course, you’ll gain cultural knowledge and learn useful conversational phrases and signs used in our local sign language communities. Language development in this class occurs through practice, interactive exercises, and dialogues. By the end of this course, you’ll have acquired enough basic conversational skills to be successful in basic conversations in ASL. This is achieved by drawing upon the alphabet, counting, common conversational signs, as well as emergency signs. This course is open to and encouraged for beginners.
