Hi there!
I F22 recently I’ve been thinking about my future. I just graduated May of 2024 with my associates in American Sign Language Interpreting. My goal has always been to be an interpreter, now that I know the language and have been interpreting ASL for a few months, I kinda want to learn Japanese sign language. Although, as far as I’m aware there’s no one in the states that offers classes. My thought is renting/buying a cheap place out in the countryside/near some city that may offer Japanese sign language classes. My hope is to go back to college in Spring of 2025 and take Japanese until Fall 2026. Is this doable? Or am I just getting too excited about a fantasy? Also I’m aware it takes 7 years to become fluent in a language, and I’d have to learn the spoke language first, but I did take ASL for 2 years and now interpret.
