"HI EVERY ONE "

"Hi, everyone. As ASL educators and enthusiasts ourselves, we are always interested in supporting and working with others of similar interest and aspirations in the world of American Sign Language and fields of interpreting."

"I became sign language certified about 15 years ago. I don't get much opportunity to use my sign language skills. At one point I was going to be an interpreter. Now I am a mother of two great boys who I teach sign words to them all the time. "

"I have been interested in learning to sign since I was young. I really want my two girls to learn too. I think it's important to know other ways of communication."

"Hi my name is Shannon Jelle, I was married in July of 07 and currently a student working to earn my teaching degree. I'm taking sign language, adn absolutely love it!"

"Hello, My name is Lisa and I have a child who has down syndrome. I am hoping that my little man who has so much to say will find some way through sign to tell us everything he feels, wants and dreams about. "

"Right back at ya Mitch! Keep up the GREAT work. I will do the same and we can dazzle each other with our ASL skills in a month! Har! But, as they say, slow and steady wins the race. If we just stick with it and learn something new every day - we will be regular pro's in no time. A hearty hello to your friend as well! She was great! See you in a month or so! --- Jack"
