Welcome! UNIT ONEMeet the CharactersFour characters highlighting the variety of backgrounds within the Deaf community are profiled throughoutMaster ASL! Level One. They will present useful vocabulary, highlight aspects of Deaf culture, and share theiraccomplishments and interests. You will realize that the lives of Deaf people are very much like your own.KRISSEANSean lives in Boston, Massachusetts, and is the onlyDeaf person in his family. Originally from Texaswhere he attended the Texas School for the Deaf,he now attends a public school and uses sign language interpreters in his classes.Kris is a university studentstudying government and lawwhose siblings, parents, andgrandparents are all Deaf.An avid athlete, she lovesto snowboard, ski, andplay tennis. When she isn’tstudying, she can befound spending timewith her family and isespecially fond of storytelling competitions.K E L LYMARCMarc, his brother, and a younger sister are Deaf;his mother is hard of hearing, and his father ishearing. He plays football at a school for theDeaf, is a member of the speech and debate teamand is involved in student government. He planson attending Gallaudet University, the world’sonly university for Deaf students.Kelly, like Sean,is the onlyDeaf person inher family,though sheconsiders herself lucky becauseher parents andolder brother all learnedAmerican Sign Language. Kellyenjoys drama, photography, and spending time onher creative writing. She wants to teach Deaf childrenafter college. A pet peeve? When hearing people say, “I’lltell you later” or “It’s not important.”In her role as an ASL teacher, Rita presents information that focuses onASL grammar and Deaf culture, gives tips on how to improve yoursigning, and answers common questions students have about ASL.For example, a frequent questions is: “What is the differencebetween deaf and Deaf?” When deaf is not capitalized, it describesone’s hearing status. When capitalized, Deaf describes thoseindividuals who are proud to be deaf and consider themselvesmembers of the Deaf culture. They use American Sign Language astheir preferred means of communication.R I TA3
UNIT ONE Welcome!GreetingsHello!What’s up?When signing to a friend, sign Hi!, butwith adults or people you don’t knowwell, use the more formal Hello.Whether you want to be formal orcasual, accompanying the sign with asmile means a lot to both Deaf andhearing people! What’s up? is aninformal way to ask How are you? inboth American Sign Language andEnglish. You can also sign What’s up?one-handed, but both signs mustinclude raising your chin.Hi!How are you?What’s up? How are you?I’m fine.4

It is superior to spoken language in its beauty and emotionalexpressiveness. It brings kindred souls into a much more close and conscious communionthan mere speech can possibly do.6”—Thomas H. Gallaudet, 1848

Welcome! UNIT ONEI Want to Know . . .Eyes on ASL #2Why do I have to point twice?Pointing back to yourself or the person you’re talking aboutshows completion of a train of thought. This allows somebodyelse to begin signing without interrupting you. Using deixis at theend of a sentence is called a closing signal. Closing signals areespecially important when asking questions using the QuestionMaker (page 15) or the WH-Face (page 42). Remember to use aclosing signal when:Always use a closingsignal to complete asigned sentence.ASL sentences lacking closingsignals are incomplete.Making a statement or comment about yourself orsomebody else.Asking a question.NamesWhat is your name?My name is Kelly Boyd.9
UNIT ONE Welcome!Classroom ExerciseEEyes on ASL #3There is no such thing as aone-word answer or reply inAmerican Sign Language.When responding to a question or statement, one-word replies are incomplete.1Introduce yourself to your classmates, fingerspelling your complete name carefully.2Practice signing each sentence in ASL.1.2.3.4.5.She is Nina Patel.My name is Cheryl.He’s Tyler Brophy.I’m Niki, he’s Aaron.He’s Luis Cortez.6.7.8.9.10.My name is ? .She is Erin.His name is Jeff.Her name is Lisa.Her name is ? .Classroom Exercise1Introductions in the Deafcommunity tend to include bothfirst and last names. Often, newacquaintances know relatives orhave friends in common. Many Deaf peoplehave stories about meeting a friend of afriend in other cities, states, and evencountries! How is this similar or differentfrom your own community?FWhat are their names? Provide each person’s name in a complete ASL sentence, following the example.110Deaf Culture MinuteLastName23452What is your name? Ask classmates for their names. Fingerspell it back to make sure you’re right.3First & last. Practice fingerspelling the first and last names of your classmates. Pause slightlybetween the first and last name.
Welcome! UNIT ONEIntroductionsI want to introduce my friend.Her name is Lisa.Introductions in the Deaf community vary depending on whether one is hearing or Deaf. If you are Deaf, background information like where one goes or went to school is exchanged. If you are hearing, then you will beintroduced as a hearing person who knows or is learning American Sign Language. This exchange of informationallows everybody to understand where he or she is coming from and reduces cultural misunderstandings. It isculturally appropriate to shake hands when meeting new people or greeting friends. Like many hearing people,Deaf friends often hug each other when saying hello and good-bye.Classroom ExerciseG1Classroom introductions. Introduce two classmates to each other.2Introductions. Sign the following dialogues in pairs or groups of three as needed. Use deixis to sign “this.”Dialogue 1Dialogue 2Student A. Hi! How are you?Student B. I’m fine. How are you?Student A. I’m good. I’m Eric Morse.I’m Deaf.Student B. Hi, my name is Chris Sarn. I’mhearing.Student A. What’s up? How are you?Student B. I’m busy. How are you?Student A. Same old.

UNIT ONE Welcome!Deaf Culture NOT EInteracting with Deaf PeopleAs a student of American Sign Language, learn how to interact with the Deaf community by becoming familiar with Deaf cultural behaviors that differ from the way you are used to doing things as a hearing person.One cultural behavior you’ve already learned is that it is considered rude to break eye contact when signingwith Deaf people, which for most hearing people is often difficult. Think of how often you turn your head inthe direction of sound and you can realize it will be a challenge to break this habit!G E T T I N G AT T E N T I O NGetting the attention of a Deaf person isdifferent from the way you interact withhearing people. Many hearing peopletend to work harder than necessary togain a Deaf individual’s attention bywildly swinging their hands in the air,stomping on the floor, or flashing overhead lights in a strobe-like pattern. Noneof this is necessary! Gently tapping theDeaf person’s shoulder or slightly wavinga hand in his or her direction until youare noticed is the most effective andconsiderate way to get attention.Shoulder tapHandwaveVOICESTurn off voice14Using your voice to talk to another hearing individual instead of signingwhen a Deaf person is near is considered rude. Develop the habit of alwayssigning when you know a Deaf person is in the same room with you. Thisway, everybody has equal access to what is being communicated. If youmust speak to a hearing person who doesn’t know ASL, then tell your Deaffriend or teacher that first, before speaking. You may be surprised to learnthat most Deaf people know when hearing people are talking, even ifsomeone is whispering. How so? Remember, Deaf people rely on theirvision far more than hearing people do! Your teacher may remind you toturn off voice if you’re being rude in class.
Welcome! UNIT ONEClassroom Exercise12IQuestions. Use the Question-Maker with the vocabulary onthe right to make a complete sentence.1234Responses.

The signs themselves remain the same.I’m going to the bathroom.Am I going to the bathroom?15
UNIT ONE Welcome!Classroom ExerciseJ1Community. You are about to attend your first Deaf event. Practice how you would introduceyourself and explain you are learning ASL.2Language differences. Practice signing each sentence. When done, translate them into writtenEnglish. What differences do you see between ASL and English?123 Accent StepsDo you “talk” silently while signing? Some hearing people do this out of habit, and others think it helps Deafpeople lipread. Only about 30% of the English language can be lipread. Deaf people lipread English, notAmerican Sign Language, so don’t mix the two. Sometimes a Deaf person will “talk” silently to help hearingpeople understand what is being signed, but don’t with those who understand ASL. You will learn the rolethe lips have as part of the non-manual signals used in ASL. In the meantime, don’t pronounce the Englishtranslation on your lips while signing!16

This is called eye gaze and helps “hold” thatlocation for the person or thing you’re signing about.17
UNIT ONE Welcome!LClassroom Exercise1Asking questions. Use the Question-Maker to ask a partner several questions. Be sure to respondin a complete sentence, including a closing signal.

Welcome! UNIT ONESigning Good-byeI’m happy to have met you!Me too! I’ll see you tomorrow.The signgood-bye is awell-known way to say farewell. Signing take care is aninformal way to say good-bye.Often, good-byes are nevercomplete until plans are madefor the next time friends willsee each other again. Shakinghands and hugging is common.It is considered impolite andrude to leave a group of Deaffriends without saying good-byeto each person, which meansfarewells can take a long time!Is this similar to howhearing people leavegroups of friends?Good-bye.Watch Marcand Kris signfarewell onyour studentDVD.Yes, tomorrow morning.
