ASL | The Journey Begins


Hi everyone! I wanted to write a little about a new adventure I've started thanks to the wonderful opportunity provided by Sister Wendy at our church! Each Tuesday night we have a Sign Language class where she has been teaching 15-20 people how to sign ASL. It has been a really wonderful opportunity and I am LOVING learning ASL.

I have only learned a few things since beginning the class (I've only actually attended 3 classes so far) but I really do feel hopeful and positive since I've managed to retain the information that I'm learning which has been a hard thing for me to do since The Car Wreck. I am SO excited that after three weeks I can still remember how to sign "I live with my husband. His name is Autry"! I think it is fabulous!

In my journey I would like to share resources I find useful and/or helpful in learning ASL. As I said, so far I only know a little, but I do hope that will grow as the days and lessons go by.

  1. how cool. I used to know some sign language, but forgot it with lack of use. I would love to learn it again.

  2. How very exciting!! We have several ladies that are fluent in sign language in our church. When they translate, I am so distracted by watching them. Artistic people usually do very well....you should do well too!!

    Take care!!
