29、How to Learn American Sign Language
American Sign Language (ASL) is one of the most beautiful but misunderstood languages in the world. 【1】 Other sign languages are used across the world, including Malaysia, Germany, Austria, Norway, and Finland. This article will give you some tips on learning this wonderful form of communication.
【2】 Dictionaries are key tools for learning any language, and ASL is no exception. A good dictionary will allow you to look up signs you don’t understand, as well as give you something to study.
Buy a few study guides. A dictionary will show you how to sign every word or phrase. However, a study guide will help you sign(打手语)in a more practical fashion and provide more information than a dictionary. 【3】
【4】 You can find many people to practice signing in class, as well as feedback(反馈)on your performance. Many colleges will allow you to take a class without enrolling(注册). Check with your local school to see what programs they might offer. Besides, community programs such as local libraries and language corners will often offer ASL classes for those who are interested.
Look for resources online. The Internet can provide a lot of information about signing. There are many sites that contain videos that can help you learn ASL. 【5】 Handspeak is another good video resource and online dictionary.
A.Take a class from a deaf teacher.
