Student taking ASL

Christy_111Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:36:12 -0500
Hey guys, is there anyone out there using this program alongside an ASL class? I’m a student at Humber and I’m hoping this course could boost my Sign Language familiarity. I’m taking the class as an elective as I used to know a girl in grade school whose mother was Deaf. I found it really fascinating the way she and her mom ‘talked.’ I guess the intrigue has stuck with me. Does anyone know how much signing I should know before approaching someone for a signed conversation? We’ve done some examples in class, but what I really want is to try it with someone who’s deaf. Hey did you know that ASL takes claim on how the football huddle got started? It’s true, we covered it in class. Does anyone else know some good SL trivia? Kay well I better stop procrastinating and hit the books, but if someone has some advice or ASL facts pls let me know. Cheers, Christy.

Hi there, you will be please to know that we are currently in the process of revamping the course.
We have added "Did you know" sections throughout the learning guide. These "Did you know" sections cover a lot of interesting facts about Sign Language. We have also increased the number of lessons from 10 to 31.
We are just testing the new system, so you should be able to access the new Rocket Sign Language Learning Lounge within the next 5-6 weeks, if not earlier

I personally think it's never too early to start practicing your signing with someone who is deaf.
Perhaps ask them if they are happy to practice with you. Even if you don't know all the signs you need you can still fingerspell them.

Good luck with your learning!
