I found an article on American Sign Language at www.handspeak.com. This article basically has all kinds of information on ASL. There are pictures to help you learn the American and British alphabets. There is also a lot of background information on sign language like how it got started and who the founders were. There is even a sign language dictionary.
This article is very relevant to my major because I am a speech-pathology major. The chances of me helping kids that use sign language can be very high. Though I am helping them to try to speak with their mouth, some may use sign along with speaking. At that point, it is important that I can communicate with these children in order to help them to the best of my abilities.
This article fascinates me. I took an Intro to ASL course at my previous college and my professor made me love it. She was so passionate about it and I had a blast learning to sign. Since then I have been extremely interested in learning ASL fluently and have been trying to fit the sign classes into my schedule. I haven't had the chance to take a sign course yet at UNL so this will definitely be a go-to website to brush up on my skills and hopefully further my knowledge.
I hope you guys find this site interesting as well!
