Class Experience

In this 10-week course, we will build on the basic ASL concepts you've already learned and use our new language in a practical sense. We will focus more on your day-to-day interests and learn the vocabulary you use frequently.    

This class will continue to develop words we use often and incorporate them into easy-to-practice sentences and conversations.  

We will practice our new skills to sign about different interests such as cooking, exercise, work, school, home life, and more!

It will also include a course-long project about your family!  
 
Below is a brief overview of our Curriculum by week to week:

Week 1: Food and Cooking
Week 2: Health and Wellness
Week 3: Travel and Transportation
Week 4: Work and Employment
Week 5: Mid-course Review and Practice
Week 6: School and Education
Week 7: Housing and Homelife
Week 8: Entertainment and Leisure Activities
Week 9: Family and Relationships
Week 10: Review / Project Presentations

My main goal is to have fun because what we learn with pleasure we never forget.   There is some homework involved, looking up words, translating sentences, and of course, practice, practice, practice.  

I look forward to continuing the discussion in Conversational ASL 2 - Trimester 2.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Language from United States Institute of Language and Clerical Studies
I have been teaching sign language professionally for three years, but have used sign language for most of my adult life.  My sister-in-law is deaf so I learned conversational sign language nearly 20 years ago so I could communicate with her.  I was also involved for several years in volunteer educational work that focused on teaching the deaf community.
