At the beginning of the semester we were told to pick a skill and learn it using technology. It could have been anything, but I narrowed it down to choosing ASL. Initially, I thought how hard can it be? It’s like learning French. I was very wron…

This week my classmate, Brandon, and I shared our knowledge of ASL. We also agreed for our last post we will include some sample conversations that we would be able to say in ASL. We are in the process of putting together all of our learned signs and …

As I prepare for my final presentation of my learning of sign language I am focusing on tuning the signs I know and fully memorizing them.

This article gives a based understanding of what … Continue reading Smile for the camera →
