Turiya Levy – ASL Instructor
Our first ASL course was offered in the fall of 2007 and the course has remained popular. Students learn American Sign Language through simple conversation. Basic vocabulary, grammatical structures, and both productive and receptive skills are learned by using them in an authentic context. Here is what students have said about the course:
“Our instructor is very knowledgeable, patient and organized.”
“The class is so much fun—the time flies by!”
“I’ve used ASL every day since our workshop.”
WHY LEARN SIGN LANGUAGE?
People want to learn sign for a variety of reasons: to sign with deaf family members, clients or co-workers; to sign with infants and toddlers; to aid communication with people who have a language inhibition or delay; because they themselves have lost hearing or speech ability; or simply because they’re curious and attracted to the language itself.
