In high school I took four years of sign language, but it’s been six years since I signed with other people, I have forgotten so many signs, and my receptive skills went to shit 😂 so I decided to take a class at the community college, I got placed in beginner two, rightfully so, during my placement exam it was my first signing conversation in six years, so it certainly wasn’t the best, and since being in this class, I’ve had so much fun learning and relearning signs, classifiers, descriptors etc. And my signing is much better off than I thought it was since I’ve knocked off the rust!!!! Soooo happy that I decided to take this class!!!

We have been learning sign as a family but that’s mostly been 1. Me using resources and then teaching my young kids, as a hearing person, which isn’t ideal and 2. A weekly hour long ASL zoom class with the whole family. I’ve been searching for a more day to day ASL program for kids and was thrilled to see Talkbox.mom is launching an ASL program. We’ve used them for Spanish and for German. Don’t want to invest in the program though before getting thoughts from people in the deaf community (for example I had been recommended Signing Time but was told to avoid it from deaf people). The owner of Talkbox.mom is hearing (her company has lots of languages) but it looks like the ASL program was made in collaboration with and is taught by deaf and coda individuals. Would love your thoughts!!
