I would like to learn along with my PK4 students how to sign the song "What A Wonderful World" & maybe do it in our end of year program. I've only found a few videos, which were included in sets (too pricey for me). I saw this done several years ago in a workshop, beautiful! I do not know sign but would sure like to learn this song & maybe others. Can anyone help?!?

On Jan. 8th, I'm auditioning to be the "Interpreter" in a production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" - with the hopes the direcetor will like the idea & accept it. I know some signing & have taught myself 3 of the 21 verses that must be learned (in one day of study). I'm currently using the ASL Browser to find the individual signs I'm looking for. But I'm sure some are incorrect & I want to do this right. Is there someone who would be willing to work with me one on one to learn this show??
I'm in a production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" as the "Interpreter" - to be performed in early April. I know some signing & have been picking out the words only on the ASL Browser to piece together the verses to the show. I don't think I'm doing this correctly & I want to do it right. PEASE HELP!
Hello, My name is Kyle. I'm a senior in high school and extremely interested in a career in this field. I would really love to talk to some people who know about planning to obtain this career and who who also work in the field.
I first learned sign language in 3rd grade. I went to a private church school and they offered sign language as there were deaf people coming to the church. It was a k-12 school and I was the best at it out of all the students! I would interpret the sermons for the preacher and also for sunday school.
I had to move away in 4th grade due to some unfortunate family circumstances, and haven't done much since. But I do remember I was good at it and absolutely enjoyed it.
I've been searching online very much lately to find as much information on thing like college degrees and salaries. Salary is not the most important thing here. But from what I've found online, I should be able to make 15- 45 dollars an hour. Some salary statistics I've found range from $20K-$40K. I'm not sure how accurate this all is.
I was thinking of going to the local community college for my first year or obtaining my associates in special education there, not sure how that would work with interpreting/deaf education. Then transfer out. I'm interested in going to Bloomsburg University or Mount Aloysius College. It seems they have good programs for deaf studies/interpreting and Mount Aloysius also has an internship program.
I would love to talk to anyone who knows about the career field!!
I will be moving out to the San Fernando/ Simi Valley/ Granada Hills CA area in the fall, and I am looking for places to send my resume. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
How long did it take you to learn to sign. I am beginning to think I am one who simply can't learn it. I don't remember the signs I learn in class and can't read them at all. Are there any good sites you have found for practice? Are there some people who simply can't learn sign? I think I have tin fingers.
Signing is a language, whether you are learning ASL or PSE or any variant. It's a spatial language as well, with subtle nuances of body language and facial expression that go along with the signs themselves.
Some people pick it up quickly and sign with near-native fluency. Others, just as smart in terms of IQ, never quite get it, no matter how hard they study and how many study groups they have.
It sounds as if learning and retaining sign language is a difficulty for you. You probably have gifts and skills in other areas.
I am searching for a teach with ASL and Technical/IT experience to teach K-12 graders entry level Computer knowledge using sign language in South Carolina. Please contact me ASAP - Anne Niles 803-806-8100 ext 126 [email removed]
Has anyone else checked out the new website called World Language Mentor? I was on the forums this morning and once I registered, I was able to download some real good handouts. The site is [link removed].
For the first time, the Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures at UNCWilmington scheduled beginning classes in American Sign Language – one in summer (July) and one in Fall 2008. Immediately these classes filled to capacity (25 students) and there is a waiting list. Unfortunately our instructor just informed me that she needs to withdraw from teaching the class. This places us in a difficult situation, and so I am seeking someone who can teach these two classes part-time. Contact me if you are interested or need additional information
