Students will learn sign vocabulary, practice signing with classmates, and discuss various deaf culture issues. Students will be ready to converse with members of the signing community by the end of the Beginner 2.
Class time: Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm; Sept 11 – Nov 13

Intermediate 1
Intermediate 1 is also designed for students with little or no knowledge of American Sign Language. Students who do have some experience should find that this course complements that experience. The class will be conducted with no voice, to allow for maximum learning of ASL both receptively and expressively.
Intermediate 1 is suitable for those in the community taking ASL for recreation, for those serious about learning ASL, and for homeschoolers taking ASL for a humanities or foreign language credit.
Course Objectives:
Be able to introduce oneself, ask questions, make requests, and respond.
Be able to discuss simple conversational topics in past, present, and future.
Be able to conduct oneself appropriately culturally in a signing environment.
Develop an appreciation for Deaf culture.
