Hey Rosetta Stone - How about teaching ASL?

[rockdrummer]

if you want Rosetta Stone to make an ASL product I encourage EVERYONE to go to

New Language Requests | Rosetta Stone

and ask for ASL to be added. if enough people do this they will make the product. tell your friends!

I did do that. You are right. Maybe if others do so they may offer it.

Rosetta stone isn't doing ASL , I'm pretty sure it is because they can't just drop new audio/test into the program that they are already using.

To do ASL right it would need movement not just still photos.

I have started work on a Rosetta stone type program for asl. The 1st lessions should be out mid January.

btw . its going to be free.

Exactly. Rosetta Stone's method relies heavily on auditory memory. Can't do that with ASL, so the method would need to be revised.

If RS makes an ASL course I'll be the first in line to get it.

When I contacted them, they said they were not ever going to do an ASL version. "We work more with auditory and not visual and to that end, we cannot see ourselves changing the way we do things to have a visual program."

Why is Rockdrummer a guest???

 

[Bottesini]

And aren't guests at AD more like ghosts really??

I was wondering the same. When I looked up some of his other stuff, where i know he wasn't a guest, all of his pictures are missing.

I'm trying but its a big job, so I'm doing it in chunks.

Hey I was just wondering if you've released the first of your ASL lessons yet. I would be interested in having a look at them.

English to ASL could be done. but ASL to English would be hard to make.
