Rebecca Droigk, ASL
Class Description
This class is an introduction to American Sign Language (ASL), taught by a nationally certified ASL interpreter. No previous knowledge of ASL is required. The class will introduce students to basic grammar, vocabulary, fingerspelling (ASL alphabet), numbers, and a taste of Deaf culture. We will focus our units on vocabulary that will be useful to kids interacting with their world such as: greetings, animals, family and home, colors, food, simple conversational phrases, etc. These will be taught in a fun and interactive hands-on experience using games, small group activities, videos, and lectures. All classes are non-sectarian and open to every student regardless of background.
Lessons
I offer weekly lessons for 16 weeks at a time, total for the ‘semester’ is $300 per child, or 4 equal payments of $75 per month.
Individual drop in lessons are $25 per hour.
