David asks…

Where can I learn American Sign Language online for a career?

I put it under this category because this is the third time I have asked this question with no responses.

Oliver Bowen answers:

You can find ASL sites that illustrate the hand positions and begin to learn the language online, but to be fluent enough for a career you really need live courses. If you can’t find a school near you or don’t know where to start, ask at your courthouse. They are required to have an interpreter on call, and that person can probably give you tips on where to start. Also, if your local high school mainstreams students with hearing deficits, they have aides. Or contact Gallaudet University, one of the oldest colleges for hearing impaired. A nearby college might allow you to sign up for sign language courses without going for a degree.

Betty asks…

Is there an online school for american sign language?

Hi, I am looking for an online school to do American Sign Language, I have tried and tried to look but I am not sure where to go…any help would be great

Oliver Bowen answers:

There are a number of colleges that offer programs for sign language, even some online. If you are looking to get a degree or certification, the best website to go to is www.rid.org. (registry of interpreters for the Deaf). on that website, you can search schools with an online program.

If you don’t care about getting an actual degree, you can learn ASL online at aslpro.com, signingonline.com, and handspeak.com.

Daniel asks…

Where can I get an online degree in American Sign Language?

Online.

Oliver Bowen answers:

I don’t think you can. It would take some major video taping to make sure you were signing correctly. It’s a “hands on” subject, not a subject for an on-line class.

Computer Learns Sign Language While Watching T.V.

Oliver Bowen — Fri, 14 May 2010 05:31:43 +0000

It’s not only humans that can learn from watching television. Software developed in the UK has worked out the basics of sign language by absorbing TV shows that are both subtitled and signed.

While almost all shows are broadcast with subtitles, some are also accompanied with sign language because it is easier for many deaf people to follow.

Shows with both text and signing are a bit like a Rosetta Stone – a carving that provided the breakthrough in decoding Egyptian hieroglyphics from an adjacent translation in classical Greek.

So Patrick Buehler and Andrew Zisserman at the University of Oxford, along with Mark Everingham at the University of Leeds set out to see if software that can already interpret the typed word could learn British Sign Language from video footage.
