Monroe Parks & Rec Offering Sign Language Class

If you would like to learn a new language using your hands instead of your mouth, this is the perfect language for you. Sign language is the natural language for the deaf and is a great language to learn since you can use it in noisy places or when you are across the room from the person you are communicating with. Come learn the history and the origin of sign language. You will learn fingerspelling using the sign language alphabet as well as the signs for words. We will have practice sessions and games to make learning fun.
