learning ASL for beginners
american...@googlemail.com
as much as some may think it is difficult to master american sign
language, once you get into the swing of things it does really get
easier. finding a good reliable and FUN course in which to learn ASL
is the key to success! ASL is becoming more and more popular and used
by much more people than it has ever before. It is recognised as an
official language and, i my opinion alot easier than other languages
to learn!
Once the basics are grasped, there really is no stopping you!

Funny. My children all sign - none has any sort of hearing impairment - and
my girls both started right at birth, where DS started at about 4.5.
If my almost 3 and almost 2 year old can sign, without some link, then it
must be fairly easy.

I did signing with both my girls as well, but it wasn't ASL, it was
BabySigns. ASL is a lot more complicated and complex. It may be comparible
to babies talking "babytalk" rather than full adult English.

We do a lot of ASL, although with either, there are some words that are
similar. We have simple words/sentences down - and it is a mixture, or what
each kind of modifies based on ability. Simple like, "Nice dog" or "More
milk please" or "I have to pee"
Or something easy like "I don't want that toy", we go with ASL, but some is
BabySign, or a modification... I know DD2 will sign "hot" and then "dog" -
ASL, but each word individually for the word and it kind of gets the point
across (and it makes more sense with each individual word now than with her
just signing "dog" for 'hotdog')
I just started with very simple ASL words - mom, dad, airplane, car, yes,
no, more, please, thank you, done, lights, up, milk, juice, apple, banana,
sleep, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa, dog, cat, etc. None really know
any of the more complex words, and neither of the girls really would
understand a more complex English word anyways at this point, so I don't
even bother with those right now.
