For my teaching activity, I taught my friend some basic phrases in ASL:
“Hello.”
“Goodbye.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“How are you?”
“I’m good.”
“I’m fine.”
“Thank you.”
“Please.”
“Sorry.”
The activity went very well. Most of the phrases just involve one sign and even the ones that are longer sentences involve three signs at most. My friend had a slight struggle with “Nice to meet you” because of the positioning of the fingers for the sign “meet,” but she got the hang of it very quickly. Hopefully, she will remember some of them and will be able to briefly communicate with a deaf or hard-of-hearing person if she ever has the chance in the future.
