Welcome to the board, Diane!

 

I'm hearing, but I'm taking ASL courses. I'm doing ASL as my foreign language for my Bachelors degree. For a while I was in an interpreter program but left because the school was awful. I may look into taking the interpreter exam once I finish my last 2 ASL classes, though, since it's a good skill to have, in my opinion. Or, at least, I find myself randomly interpreting for deaf folks at least a few times a year just being in the right place at the right time (twice at an emergency room when the deaf/hh person had been waiting for hours for an interpreter to show up).

 

I go to LA every now and then. Perhaps we could work out a way to meet up and do some yarn shopping! I love Suss in West Hollywood. http://sussdesigns.com Have you been there?

I would LOVE to learn ALS, and that sounds very interesting about the interpreter program/exam. Is that available in every area, and how do you find out about the exam/qualifications/courses?

Welcome!! I'm so glad you found us! This is a wonderful place. I'm learning a little ASL with my kids and we love it. It's a beautiful language and I hope someday to be fluent. Again, welcome!
