Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a fascination with sign language. It really is a very useful tool to have on hand, and also, it's fun. I talk with my hands alot anyway, so why not put my flailing around to some use? There have been times while working in retail where my small knowledge of the language had to come into play, and ever time I found myself in that position, I always wish I knew more, since half the time I'd have to break down to mostly finger spelling with some words here and there.
Thankfully, because of work, my skills in sign language have slowly been improving, but it's not enough to where I feel comfortable holding an actual conversation with someone who is deaf.
I've taken a course while I was in college, and since then I've been looking up words and phrases online.. but I really miss the classroom setting. So I've recently been seriously thinking about going back to school to learn sign language. One of my dreams (ever since I was little) was to actually be an ASL interpreter. Weird eh?
It's just a matter of trying to find classes in my area.. free or somewhat cheap..
