Curtains Closed for my ASL Learning Project

This blog post marks the end of my Learning Project! I remember being a little bit stressed because I could not think of anything that I would be interested to do for this project. Two of my main options were cooking dishes originating from a different country and heritage or learning a new language. I was initially going through with the idea of cooking, but I later realized that it would be expensive, especially as…

A New ASL Tool

From phone applications to YouTube channels to AI, I have found many free online tools to help my journey in learning American Sign Language. These tools can be used by teenagers and adults alike. For this blog post, I wanted to find a tool that is suitable for all ages, and that includes children in their elementary ages. After researching, I have found a website called Elemental ASL Concepts.  I will say that this website…

AI Integration into ASL

SignLanguageAI Aside from YouTube or TikTok videos and apps, there is only a limited number of free resources available to use by the people to learn ASL. As the term progresses, it is sometimes difficult to discover new tools and resources that I could potentially use to learn ASL and review it on a blog.  The tool that I will be discussing in this blog was not mentioned in any videos that I watched.

New Words, New Ways to Express

This app does have a subscription ($5.99 per month or $59.99 per year), and since I am only using the free version, there is only a free daily lesson for me to access. With each correct answer I…

The Start of Something New

I had a hard time figuring out what to focus on for the Learning Project. For some reason, I could not think of any skill that I wanted to improve or brainstorm a new potential skill that I am interested in learning. I came up with three potential skills that I could do: continue learning the Japanese Language, begin learning American Sign Language (ASL), or cook a particular cuisine that is foreign to me. At…
