I don't know how much you can see, but are you learning signs visually or tactually?

That sounds like a good idea to me. At least the terp can help demonstrate each sign to you at close range and/or tactually to make sure you don't miss anything visually.

Try not to feel bad. That kind of thing happens even to sighted students. I know it happened to me quite a bit when I started learning sign in 1995.

That's cool. Does your ASL teacher wear dark clothing so that his/her hands contrast making them easier to see? If not, I would make that request since you're entitled to that accommodation under the ADA.

I'm sure your teacher wouldn't mind. One of my professors wears a blazer every week so that she has a pocket to put my FM transmitter in. She doesn't mind doing that at all. Of course, I never asked her to...she offered.
