Are you looking for a place to go and meet others who use ASL? Check out these two events that will help you improve those ASL skills and meet new people!
Sign and Dine
If you want to better your ASL skills and practice signing
more, you should consider sitting in Denmark Lounge. Denmark Lounge is located on the first floor in
Enderis Hall right here at UWM. Monday
through Thursday from noon to 3:00 pm, is “Sign and Dine.” For “Sign and Dine” ASL students as well as
Deaf students come together to chat using ASL.
So grab some lunch (or bring your own) and join the fun!
If you want to meet more people outside of UWM, you might
consider going to Deaf Coffee Chat. Deaf
Coffee Chat is every second and fourth Friday of each month. This event takes place at Starbucks at 544 E Odgen
Ave., Milwaukee WI. If you take the 30
Bus from UWM and get off at Jackson and Odgen, you will be right across the
street from Starbucks. This event is a
ton of fun and you are sure to meet new people.
You learn new signs each time you go because people from all different background
attend this event and share their experiences and stories. It’s a sure way to have fun and enjoy some
coffee at the same time!
