Learning ASL

Anudem · 07-02-2009, 12:28 AM

Hello,

I am currently in grad school to become an Occupational Therapist, and taking ASL classes on the side online (I know I know, there are better ways to learn) and I think ASL will be a great asset to have.

Unfortunatly it has been about a year since my last ASL class, and I am pretty rusty. I send in videos of me doing ASL on youtube to my professor which works good for me, and I also have to interpret ASL and convert them into english structure sentences. This is what is killing me. Since I am so rusty I am reading up as much as I can on ASL, but many of the signs are eluding me. I've been to aslpro.com, which helps me a lot, but is there a resource to help me out on the watching to translation phase? I can post the video I need to translate if that helps.

I also read this thread

I don't want people thinking I am only here for homework answers. I am interested in the language and culture, and hope to grow in the language. My ASL textbook and aslpro.com can only help me so much though

I agree with you I have been learning ASL for about 17 years and I still have to look up words. If you do not have someone to help you and pratice with you will lose what you know and have to learn it all over again.

If you would like to learn ASL. Go to ASLPro.com Home It will help you a lot. This is my favorite site! If I don't understand what is the word to sign for. My head look at main dictionary to help me remember what is sign for. I started to learn ASL since I was 10.
