Hey all,
My name is Katie, and I am an ASL 1 student at the University of Georgia, studying Communication Sciences and Disorders.
My instructor's goal is that we have as much "face time" with Deaf culture as possible, including practicing our ASL with native signers. Thus, we are required to attend several Deaf culture events throughout the community (which have all been a blast!).
However, another requirement is to have a 1 hour ASL conversation with a Deaf person outside of these events. I am having trouble locating an interested Deaf person to sign with me (especially considering I am an ASL 1 student with a limited vocabulary/fingerspelling abilities). So if anyone would be willing to have an hour Skype convo with me in ASL (or face to face if you happen to live in the Athens area) I would be eternally grateful.
To prove to my instructor that the interaction has actually taken place, I would need your name and email address. You could give me permission to sign your name to the form I am required to turn in, or I could fax/email you a copy and have you return it to me. If you are willing to help or need more information, please either reply to this thread or email me at katielou@uga.edu
Thanks for taking the time to look at all this, and I hope I don't look like I'm trying to get y'all to do my homework for me like on some of the threads on here!
Thanks,
Katie M.
