This is my final blog post about learning ASL over the course of this semester, and wow, it has gone by quick! As interesting as it was to learn ASL this semester, I am looking forward to this break coming up. But I am going to try to continue my learning, and maybe one day…

This week I went over lesson 6 on SignLanguage101, “People, The Body & Clothes”. And although learning the signs for clothes can be useful, I found the signs of people to be the most useful part of this lesson. Learning signs like “man”, “woman”, “father”, “mother”, etc. It was good to know these signs, especially…

This week I continued my lessons on SignLanguage101 with Lesson 5, “Around the House & Hobbies”. This lesson taught words that would be used around the house such as “living room” or “kitchen”, as well as typical words one would use talking about hobbies, such as “ball” or “ice skating”. As well it went through…

After a well needed break, I’m back on SignLanguage101 and watching Lesson 4 “Antonyms and Common Phrases”. I know I keep repeating myself in these posts but I love that what is taught in these lessons is useful in everyday life. Some common phrases covered were “what happened”, “don’t like”, and simpler ones like “which”…

This weeks post is very late, but sometimes life comes first and that is okay. This past week I continued using SignLanguage101 and watched the next lesson titled “Everyday Signs and Common Objects”. I know I have said this before but I really appreciate that this website teaches words and phrases that are actually used…

In the last blog post I wrote about how I found a new source for me to learn from in the coming weeks and this week I tried it and it was great! Signlanguage101 is a great website made by Dr. Byron Bridges, who is not only deaf, but has a PhD in linguistics and…

This post is a little late but this week I have spent learning a little bit but also trying to find other sources to learn from. For the most part, I have been learning ASL from an app called American Sign Language. For beginners it was okay, allowing me to learn the ASL alphabet as…

This week we were tasked with finding an app or tool he haven’t used before in order to document the process made in our learning project. As you could probably guess from the title, I chose to use Kahoot. An idea I had after seeing some of the ideas posted was to make flash cards…

This week in my ASL journey I wanted to get into both the “Finger Spelling” and “Basic Words” sections on my ASL American Sign Language app. I also wanted to learn the next set of numbers 10 – 20. I did not end up getting to the “Basic Words” section so that is now my…

This post is a little late but better late than never. This past week I focused on memorizing the ASL alphabet and numbers 1 to 10 and I surprised myself because I did a lot better than I thought I would. I now know the entire alphabet but I am still working on fully memorizing…
