I signed up for a sign language class and I want to know if it will hard and if it will be useful after taking the class for things such as job interviews or talking to people who are deaf.
The class is called something like American sign language 1 and there are actually about 4 or 5 classes offered at my college in all to be proficient.
.
I have never taken a formal class but have been teaching myself since I was 6 years old and I enjoy the language. I do know people who have taken the course and they said it can be difficult because they are taught in a no speech environment ( which I believe is the best way to learn and usually is the way that it is taught)
Though if it is useful depends on your future I know for me that it is as I am (through volunteer work and eventually after school is finished) will be working with individuals with disabilities or who are deaf who may use it to communicate. So in answer it can definitely be helpful in any job but the degree of how helpful it would be to you depends on where you are going in life.
I hope that this helps
It will be very useful, and it will even help you with a lot of prestige’s jobs. I was in an advanced sign language class for two years, and it has helped me ever since, and I really want to be apart of that again. The employers will find it very useful, and find you very interesting. In certain jobs. This will open a whole new door for you in more ways than one. It isn’t that difficult, not as hard as learning spanish, or another second language. Trust me you won’t regret it.
Sign language was not difficult for me to learn, but there were people in my class who had difficulty with it. It depends on your level of dedication and how easily you learn, just like any other subject. It will come in handy if you plan to have a career in which you will be working with the public a lot. I have met very few people in my area that are deaf, but if you live in a bigger city, you’ll encounter it more frequently. It should help with getting a job, as it is technically a second language.
