How and where do I go about getting my ASL interpreting license? Can I do this online? Are used to interpret for my friend in history class in high school many years ago and would like to pick it up again certified? Thank you for any information.
I used to think I had amazing hearing, but with my lifelong hyperacusis, bass sensitivity, and hard of hearing parents, I should have instead realized that I had a very solid correlation with deafness~~ And that's why I'm here now! (and to see the giant yellow cat). Oh, I'm absolutely not culturally hearing because beer, football etc...
I love that you put down what you see teachers teach in ASL is not what a skilled signer may use. It happens in all languages too. Theirs formal and common (or street slang). Example in english. Proper english "My friend is really upset his girlfriend left him" Street english "Yo my homie be trippin when his g stepped out em". If you didn't know the slang or street term you'd be a deer caught in headlights. Can it get this extreme in ASL Bill?
Yes. Certainly. Consider though the difference between the word "proper" and the word "formal." It is actually proper to use casual language in casual circumstances and formal language in formal circumstances. At your convenience, see: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/teachingasl/teachingasl-bill.htm
@@sign-language thank you Bill! Yeah I get what your saying. Being fluent in spanish, when I went to high school I thought an easy class to take up was Spanish 1. Big mistake, here is a teacher who sounded AWFUL to me trying to tell me my spanish is spanglish that the spanish he teaches is proper. Needless to say I dropped his class for an art class. I wasnt gonna have some guy who sounded awful tell me his spanish was better than mine and give me a bad grade as a result. My spanish was casual, most times we use casual unless we are interpreters. And even then it depends on your clients.
I always love learning new versions or votes for existing other versions of signs. So feel free to describe what you use. I've noticed that lately due to discussing EV's (electric vehicles) more I've needed to start using version of battery that uses an "S" handshape on the non-dominant hand and a bent-V hand on the dominant hand. Here's a sample: ua-cam.com/video/JXYqUdp9_-c/v-deo.html

Great lesson. Learned some new things overall that I didn't know before, "ipsilateral, contralateral".
Thanks again for a great lesson :)

Google: Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf
Also google, EIPA interpreter test.

My sign for battery is different
