What is a sign language interpreter? And what is ASL?
Let’s start with ASL! ASL stands for American Sign Language. It is used throughout the United States and parts of Canada. Interesting Fact: ASL is not the same language as English (notice that ASL is not used in other English Speaking countries like the United Kingdom or Australia). ASL has very different grammatical syntax, idiomatic expressions, verb tenses and much more. While most people don’t even give it much thought, English is an auditory language.
