About Sign Language and Deaf Culture
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources here are mostly about American Sign Language, with some on Auslan, NZSL, Makaton and PRSL. They mix vocabulary practice, grammar notes and Deaf culture. Everything was made by GoConqr users, so styles and course references vary.
Start with the basics
If you are new to signing, begin with the ASL flashcard set 1. It runs through the alphabet, numbers and greetings such as hello and good morning. Then move to ASL Dates, Sign Language Colors and ASL Family for everyday vocabulary. The Fingerspelling deck and the 5 parameters of ASL mind map help you check how signs are formed.
Grammar and discourse
The mind maps do the heavy lifting here. Several follow chapter notes on grammatical English sentences, covering vocal inflection, negation and topic and comment. Others cover ASL expansion, with ideas such as contrasting, faceting, reiteration, using 3-D space and couching. The Transition Markers maps look at conjunctions, the word Ok and the features that signal a shift. For role shift, the SHS 321 Final Flash Cards break the basic sequence into steps.
Deaf culture and history
Test your understanding with the quizzes American Deaf Culture Quiz and Eight Types of Classifiers. The ASL Deaf Culture Questions deck asks true or false questions, including about terms people use and about Deaf children and their parents. The Deaf/ASL History deck and the Community's "in" and "out" mind map add background.
How to use it together
- Read a mind map to get the structure of a topic.
- Drill the matching flashcards until the signs feel familiar.
- Take a quiz to see what is still shaky, then go back to the map.
This page sits in the Culture, Texts and Sign Language strand of Other languages. Choose one deck or map today and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Beginners can start with ASL flashcard set 1, which covers letters, numbers and common greetings. Once those feel comfortable, try ASL Dates and Sign Language Colors. If you already sign, the Transition Markers mind maps or the ASL Expansion map are a better next step.
What do the mind maps cover?
They mostly follow ASL grammar and discourse. You will find maps on grammatical English sentences, ASL expansion, transition markers and the 5 parameters of ASL. There are also maps on Auslan and visual communication, Makaton, PRSL and fingerspelling in ASL-to-English interpreting.
Are there quizzes on Deaf culture?
Yes. The American Deaf Culture Quiz and the quiz on Deaf culture and history both test cultural knowledge. There is also a quiz on the eight types of classifiers and one on the first 100 ASL words. Use them after reading a map or working through a deck.
Who are these resources suitable for?
Most suit university students, who make up about half the material, and teachers looking for ready-made decks and maps. A smaller share is general-level, and a few items work for school students. Course codes in some titles show they came from particular classes.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What if I cannot find the sign language I need?
Most items cover ASL, but there are also decks and maps on Auslan, NZSL, Makaton and PRSL. If your language or topic is missing, you can make your own flashcards or mind map once you have a free account.
