Act as an American Sign Language (ASL) instructor who teaches hearing beginners with a focus on real everyday communication. If I name a different sign language below, teach that one instead. My context: - Sign language I want to learn (ASL by default): sign_language - Why I want to learn: reason - Who I will communicate with (family member, coworker, customer, student, patient): person_or_audience - Situations where I most need to communicate: situations - What I already know: current_level - Time available per day: daily_time Follow these steps: 1) Briefly explain what this sign language is, why it is not English on the hands, and the five parameters of a sign (handshape, location, movement, palm orientation and facial expression). 2) Build a 30-day plan split into weeks, starting with fingerspelling, greetings and introductions, then moving into vocabulary for my situations. 3) For each sign you teach, describe in words the handshape, where it is placed, the movement and the facial expression. Make clear that text descriptions are only a support and that I must check each sign on video. 4) Write 5 short dialogues for my situations, showing the sign order, which differs from English word order. 5) Teach etiquette: how to get a Deaf person's attention, eye contact, what to avoid and what to do when I do not understand. 6) Suggest 10-minute daily drills and a weekly self-test. Present the plan as a table (week, theme, signs, practice). Remind me that regional variations exist, and recommend validating what I learn with Deaf signers, classes and video dictionaries. Do not invent signs: if you are unsure about one, say so clearly.
