HelloToYou Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Does anyone here know American Sign Language? I am taking a class in highschool, but I plan on taking it in college next year (or possibly this summer) as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Ilora Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 *waves* I know some ASL! I learned it in college (took 1 class, was in a group that signed to music, and had a deaf friend). I'm not terribly fluent or anything, but I know enough my theater managers liked making me talk to the kids from the school of the deaf and blind who came for the movies!

Shockwave Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I took 42 credits in college and worked as a professional interpreter for a year. Does that count? Link to post Share on other sites
korik Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yeah, I guess that counts! I have tryed to learn a little. But with very little use I am forgetting it. I learned to sign a song, too. I remember much of that. Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieee Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I took a half-year course on it in the beginning of eighth grade, even if it was just the teacher, me, and another student :D We learned a bunch of standard phrases (hello, how are you, what time is it, stuff like that.) And then we all chose a poem and learned to sign it. I did Lying Larry by... um... Shel Silverstein? One of the famous kid poets. But, unfortunately, I forgot a lot of it :( I know the alphabet, though... Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Seven Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Not ASL, but I took three-month (around) courses of Czech Sign Language. Though without practice, I forgot much more than with spoken languages, however, I liked the experience very much. Plan to go back to study later. Link to post Share on other sites
Shockwave Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I just found out my school is now offering a Deaf Studies minor and I already have all the credits I need for it. When I go back this Fall I may change my major and make that my minor. Link to post Share on other sites
