I'm loving the whole language approach, thank you!
You're very welcome!
I have been studying ASL for the past year with two instructors. One is a deaf woman and the other is a certified and professional interpreter. She has been teaching vocabulary and short sentences and their structure, etc and the interpreter has focused on culture, tenses, eye contact, facial expression... David, the interpreter, is at times able to help us associate hand shapes with particular things to help us remember certain things. Watching them banter back and forth is also instructive.
I feel I am getting a very good education of the language but still have difficulty putting signs together for smooth communication. Is that something that will improve with much practice?
The advantage of the "whole language" approach is faster learning, and better grammar, correct?
Hi Erika! My "whole language" approach is a more natural, accurate learning approach. It is how babies and toddlers first learn language - by being exposed to it in a natural way. Thus, instead of learning isolated, individual and unrelated signs, you are indeed learning a cohesive whole - signs, classifiers, grammar, etc., all rolled into one. This also makes it easier for a new signer to pick up new concepts when conversing with another signer in a "real world" environment.
@@ASLwithRob Your whole language approach is wonderful!
