ASLPro.com- Great Website!
Caitlin Hill and I found this website. If anyone is looking to improve their ASL, this is a great tool. There is an ASL dictionary which I use everyday. I go through the alphabet and learn 3 new signs everyday. There are also finger spelling quizzes. I am not very confident with comprehending fast finger spelling, so this has helped me a lot. I suggest this site to anyone learning ASL!

I go there all the time. I am still struggling with fingerspelling quizzing. I usually do the 30 everyday phrases and I do well. It's also good to check your signs in the dictionary part too.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree that ASL Pro is a good site. I would just want to warn you that not everything on that site is correct. There is another site that is good as well. It is ASL Browser. If you use Google, just type in ASL Browser and it will pop up along with ASL Pro. Just a thought to check both and see how they sign things. Really the best tool is to ask a Deaf person. Which I understand they are not always there when you have a question. Just a thought. From my experience being around the Deaf community is the best way to learn ASL. Just trying to help. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this site before! Thank you so much for sharing it with the class. I struggle with my signing and this is a great tool to use in order to find the sign for certain words. This would have definitely came in handy when I was doing my retell stories for class! Awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI think this site is great. I have used this site for a few years now and it has yet to steer me in the wrong direction. I am curious to see what you have found Danielle that is incorrect. I do agree with Danielle that interactions in the Deaf community are the best ways to expand your ASL. I would just like to add a comment to hers. Although I do agree, I would suggest everyone to remember that all Deaf people will sign differently. Not every Deaf person uses ASL- which is totall fine :) Just because you see a Deaf person use a certain sign doesn't mean that that way is the only way to sign that specific thing. Also, many signs are regional and something you may see signed in Kentucky could possibly be signed completely different in New York. To try to connect my thoughts- perhaps what you see on ASL pro isn't neccessarily incorrect (or parhaps it is, I'd like to see some of what is wrong if you don't mind to show me) but maybe it is just not what you have learned or seen.
ReplyDeleteI love this site! I also recently got the ASL Galludet definition book. These are both really helpful, especially since I no longer take ASL classes but really want to improve my signing skills. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI learned about ASLpro.com in high school and it was amazing. We had to sign songs in my High school class and ASLpro helped me soooo much.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this site. I use it all the time.
