Benefits of learning ASL with Tanya


Learning American Sign Language (ASL) can be a fun and rewarding experience, whether you are deaf, hard of hearing, or hearing.

It opens up new ways to communicate with others and can help build connections with the Deaf community.

And there's no better person to learn ASL from than Tanya, an experienced interpreter and educator who is committed to making ASL accessible to everyone.


Here are just a few of the benefits of learning ASL with Tanya:


Improved Communication Skills: Learning ASL can improve your overall communication skills, including your ability to listen, understand, and express yourself clearly. This can be especially beneficial for those with hearing loss or difficulty processing spoken language, but it can also benefit hearing individuals who want to expand their communication abilities.


Cultural Awareness: ASL is not just a language, but a unique culture with its own customs, traditions, and values. Learning ASL with Tanya can give you a deeper understanding of Deaf culture and help you appreciate and respect the experiences of Deaf individuals. This can be especially important for those who work in fields that involve interacting with the Deaf community, such as healthcare, education, or social services.


Increased Opportunities: Learning ASL can open up new opportunities for employment, socializing, and travel. Many organizations and businesses are looking for individuals who are proficient in ASL to work as interpreters, customer service representatives, or in other roles. Knowing ASL can also help you connect with other Deaf individuals in your community or while traveling abroad.


Enhanced Cognitive Functioning: Research has shown that learning a second language, such as ASL, can improve cognitive functioning, including memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. This can be especially beneficial for older adults, who may experience cognitive decline as they age.


Personal Growth: Learning ASL can be a transformative experience that helps you grow as a person. It can increase your self-confidence, expand your worldview, and provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Plus, it's a fun and rewarding skill to have!
