It is also the third most widely spoken language in the United States (after English and Spanish, respectively). If for no other reason than to be prepared and helpful in an emergency situation, everyone who is able should learn at least basic American Sign Language. There are also benefits like being able to go on to study and become an interpreter for a school, or a religious organization. All of this, however, starts with knowing ASL basics - sign language fingerspelling, alphabet, numbers, colors, common phrases, and terms related to emergency situations |
