How to practice/improve my signing without a Deaf community?

Question

I'm a snowboard instructor and took ASL in college. I recently told my supervisor I am willing to teach lessons in ASL. While I used to be able to hold conversations with HoH/Deaf individuals no problem, I know my signing has become very rusty and want to practice and review/improve my vocabulary so I can give people the very best experience I can, but I can't seem to find any online resources. They are all either just a dictionary or designed to teach the basics. Does anyone have any advice for using dictionary apps to improve vocabulary or tips for improving my signing in general short of interacting with the Deaf/HoH community? There isn't much of one (if at all) in my area.

Answer 1

For the topic of skiing, classifiers (the equivalent of adjectives and adverbs in ASL) are heavily used.

I can be your tutor on this specific topic. Send me a message directly through WyzAnt for further discussion. I would be happy to expand on it!

Answer 2

There are several "apps" you can use to stay on top of your ASL, I use a few myself. Also find a tutor to go to once or a few times a month just to stay on top of your language. "Use it or lose it" as my instructor always said.
