5 Tips for Learning in Family ASL Classes (Apr 26)

We are so excited to have you joining us and just wanted to pass along our
5 biggest tips for using this time to learn American Sign Language!

  1. Put the dates in your calendar - some families like to set a weekly alarm on their phone as a reminder too! 
    You must show up to learn the material! If something comes up, please communicate by emailing me at msmith@lexnyc.org. I will pass it on to your teachers.

    PLEASE NOTE: There is no class May 25, 26, 27, or 28.


  1. If you can’t connect or have issues – reach out!
    Laptops and ipads will provide the fullest view and remember, these classes will not have audio. You and your teacher will be muted to help you learn with your eyes!

    If you want to get more comfortable on Zoom, here are some  tutorials:
        1. English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftfLTM4B6-g&t=1s
        2. Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvQRQPLZuTc
        3. Do you need more help?
          Email msmith@lexnyc.org to set up a time!
 
  1. Try to give the class your full attention -
    We know there is always a lot going on but try to save the cooking, commuting, outside conversations for before or after class time so you don’t distract the others.
 
  1. Watch this fun video to learn how to position your screen!
    Check it out here 😊 Also review the welcome sheet for more tips on learning in class.
 
  1. Find your booklets here -
    Please know if you requested a paper version we will do our best to get that sent home/ mailed out this week. If you are level 3 or above you will be using the ABC book instead.

        (PDF in English and Spanish...We appreciate your patience as we finalize the full translations.)
 
Have fun and know you have a team here to support your journey.
