American Sign Language for Beginners

This audiocourse, titled 'American Language for Beginners,' is meticulously designed to introduce learners to the foundational aspects of American Sign Language (ASL), one of the most widely used languages among the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in the United States. Spanning several comprehensive lessons, this course starts by teaching common signs and then reviews the ASL alphabet and numbers, where each is described in detail, ensuring that learners can grasp the hand shapes and movements associated with each character. After that more handshapes are described, with a thematic focus including: sports, weather, travel, clothing, directions and foods. The course includes lessons on non-manual signals like facial expressions and body movements, which are crucial for conveying tone and context in ASL. The course also uses brief quizzes to reinforce learning. Additionally, there are sections devoted to cultural aspects of the deaf community, offering insights into the history and diversity in ASL communication. Throughout the course, the narrator’s voice is calm and encouraging, making complex concepts approachable for beginners. This comprehensive approach ensures that learners not only understand ASL basics but also gain a broader appreciation for the language and culture of the deaf community.

American Short Stories

Frank Norris. The ship that saw a ghost. Frank Norris's intriguing and atmospheric tale of an old forgotten crime, a tragedy, an ancient derelict ghost ship... and the very bizarre reaction of the modern tramp steamer whose bows she crosses. Jack London. To build a fire. 'To Build a Fire' is a short story by American author Jack London. There are two versions of this story, one published in 1902 and the other in 1908. The story written in 1908 has become an often anthologized classic, while the 1902 story is less well known. The 1908 version is about an unnamed protagonist who ventures out in the subzero boreal forest of the Yukon Territory. He is followed by a native dog and is en route to visit his friends—ignoring warnings from an older man about the dangers of hiking alone in extreme cold. The protagonist underestimates the harsh conditions and slowly begins to freeze to death. After building one fire and leaving it to venture on in his journey he later on attempts to build another but fails. He slips into unconsciousness and dies of hypothermia... Edgar Allan Poe. The pit and the pendulum. 'The Pit and the Pendulum' is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural.
