Description
American Sign Language (ASL), is the most commonly used sign language of Deaf communities in North America. It is used by the Deaf community and their families to communicate, making it the fourth most popular language in America. Hearing people have also started to pick up the emotive and expressive language to interact and communicate with friends or colleagues who are hearing impaired.
This course will teach you the fundamental skills of how to communicate with ASL, as well as giving you an understanding of how important it is to communicate in ASL in your profession. For example, it is generally considered exceptional customer service for a worker in the hospitality or retail sectors to respond to someone who is hearing impaired by speaking to them in sign language.
