Hi Everyone!

I'm Yael and I'm taking ASL 101. It is super cool having the opportunity to learn ASL! I came across this site and thought it would be fun and helpful to see if anyone wants to practice their skills with me. I'm slowly building up my vocabulary each day but would appreciate any feedback on correct sentence structure. I live in Arizona but I have a flexible schedule. Ill keep an eye on the chat rooms but if anyone wants a study partner I'm willing to meet at a specific time:)

Wishing you all a great week!

Hi Yael, I just finished ASL2 I am also in Arizona, I have been using the fingerspell game to help.  That is my weakness.  Best of luck to you.

Hi Yael! I am also looking for an ASL practice partner. I am new to ASL, so I may not be too much help with grammar or vocabulary. I have been following the online courses from Dr. Bill Vicars on Lifeprint.com and know it would be super helpful to begin signing with someone "in person" to get used to seeing and understanding more than the scripted prompts from the course. 

I am in NY so there is a time difference, but if you're interested we can try to set a time to sign together :)

    • That’s a great reason to start learning ASL. Having a practice partner would definitely help, especially with getting more comfortable with reading signs and keeping up with a real conversation. It’s also nice that you want to learn because you’ve had situations where communication was difficult. Just keep practicing and don’t worry about being perfect at the beginning—everyone starts somewhere. spin mama

    • You might see a familiar pattern and immediately think you know the answer. Your brain naturally wants to complete the word as quickly as possible. However, tha t first idea isn’t always  dordle correct.
    • Security staff should be prepared to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing visitors in a clear and respectful way. Simple gestures, written instructions, visual signs, and mobile phones can all help when spoken communication is not effective. Improve Event Safety At busy venues, communication becomes even more important. Teams providing Crowd Management Services should make sure safety instructions, evacuation routes, entry rules, and emergency information are accessible to everyone. Staff should know how to gain attention politely and avoid creating confusion during stressful situations. Train Security Teams Basic deaf awareness training can make a real difference. Security officers should remain patient, maintain eye contact, and use clear visual cues when needed. Build a More Inclusive Environment Good communication improves both safety and visitor experience. By planning for different communication needs, security teams can create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.
