Learning to sign 1 handed

Yes, there are plenty of CODA etc that are wonderful teachers !!


On the other hand - I've seen some hearing people who after taking a few years of ASL classes somehow figure they "know enough" that they're going to "teach ASL" ( in community centres, youth groups, school "clubs" etc where anyone can teach anything if they "look like" they know what they're doing)

THAT is a disaster !

I've seen that too. Was instrumental in getting one fired from the Deaf Studies program at the uni where I got one of my degrees. Sat in on her class and was astounded at the ignorance she was spreading.

Why would it be a disaster? CODAs are as native a signer as their Deaf parents would be. They are perfectly capable of teaching the language.

Yes, I've had some excellent CODA instructors, in addition to excellent Deaf instructors.
