tl;dr: I'm trying to learn ASL so I can be a good teacher and because I love laguages.
Hi! I'm Saraw, and I am a junior TESOL education (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Though I've been interested in ASL for years, I've only just started really trying to learn it recently. My goals are to use ASL (specifically the vocabulary) in my classroom, since the total body response of making a sign while knowing what it means in English can really help students remember the words in English, thus making the acquisition of the English language easier than just trying to learn it auditorily.
My personal goals for ASL is fluency in the language. Even though I'm left-handed, I think I'm picking up the individual signs alright, but I have a hard time with the grammar aspect. Since my college doesn't offer ASL courses and I don't actually know anyone who uses ASL, I'm always looking for people to practice with!
Sorry, I just read through that and it sounds like teacher mumbo-jumbo. If you don't want to be a teacher, sorry!
