During our first lesson, we'll briefly talk about how YOU want to learn ASL. Do you want to learn it in depth, the way I teach it to my college students? Would you rather focus (either solely, or in the beginning) on specific signs you can use to communicate with a specific "audience" in a specific setting? Or do you want to combine the two, and/or throw in some live practice with my culturally Deaf son? Since YOU are paying for the lesson(s), I want to give you what you want to the greatest extent possible, although I will gladly make suggestions if you're open to them. I have been signing since 1976 and have taught ASL for over 20 years. Yes, I'm an Old Dog, but believe me, I have more energy than most 20-year-olds!
