Hi, I am an intervention specialist and love sign language.  Over the years, I've taken a variety of different classes related to sign language, including two years of ASL instruction.  I rarely have gotten to use my skills on a consistent basis and, therefore, am somewhat rusty.  This year at school, I am teaching a 4 week enrichment class to 7th/8th grade students on basic sign language.  It is a lot of fun and the kids are really enjoying it.  A couple of things I am looking for are games or more active activities I can do with the kids and I'm wondering if there is an ALS font I could find and download on my computer--similar to other fonts (Times New Roman, Comic Sans, Arial...), but what I type in on the computer would appear on my screen in the sign alphabet.  Anyone have any hints/ideas for either of these things?

Thank you!

Hi Jill,

I'm not sure about games or activities as I'm just starting out with ASL myself, but Gallaudet is an ASL font. There are a few other free ones on this site (https://www.fontspace.com/category/sign%20language) but I think Gallaudet is easiest to read.

Best with your class!

      Hi all

      Hi my name is Mamie and I'm 39 year old returning college student at NVCC. I am on my third semster of ASL but need a lot of practice and actually joined this forum hoping to meet people and get some practice in. I needed a language for my degree but chose asl as I have a family member who though I don't get to see often would love to be able to communicate with better. It's nice to meet everyone and if anyone would like to get together and practice or just chat please let me know.

      Hi! I'm a writer who loves realism and going down rabbit holes. I have a character with selective mutism and want to learn sign language in order to better portray signing in my story. Also, learning in general is fun and knowing multiple languages is useful.  Any advice on exploring and learning the language would be appreciated!

      Unser Team von zoome5.casino hat in den letzten Monaten intensiv daran gearbeitet, unser Portfolio im Bereich der Live-Unterhaltung zu erweitern zoome live casino. Wir wollten sichergehen, dass unsere deutschen Spieler ein noch authentischeres und immersiveres Gefühl erleben, als wäre sie in einer echten Spielbank. Dafür haben wir neue Studiokulissen gebaut und die Videoauflösung auf 4K-Standard angehoben. Alle Nutzer, die unser besuchen, können nun die gestochen scharfen Bilder und die reibungslose Interaktion mit den Dealern genießen. Wir sind besonders stolz darauf, dass wir die Rahmenrate optimieren konnten, sodass es auch bei langsamerer Internetverbindung in Deutschland keine Ruckler mehr gibt.
