You've plateaued. More vocabulary isn't helping. You wonder if mastery is even possible.
The problem isn't your effort. It's that you've never been taught how to THINK in sign.

Still not sure? Here's the FAQ !
Absolutely. This workshop series is designed for signers at all levels, including experienced interpreters. Many seasoned professionals have found that Unlearning Words provides insights they never encountered in traditional training.
The approach focuses on fundamental thinking patterns that affect signing fluency, regardless of experience level. Even interpreters with decades of experience often discover new ways to approach sign language that make their work more effortless and natural.
This is the only workshop series that focuses on changing how you think about sign language, rather than just teaching more signs or techniques.
Most workshops teach vocabulary, grammar rules, or interpretation strategies. Unlearning Words addresses the underlying mental patterns that either support or hinder natural signing. It's about shifting from thinking in words to thinking directly in visual-spatial concepts.
Not at all! In fact, learning these concepts early can prevent you from developing habits that limit your progress later.
The workshop is designed to be accessible to beginners while providing depth for advanced signers. The thinking tools and metaphors help establish a strong foundation for natural sign language acquisition from the start.
Ask yourself:
- Do you feel like you're translating from English in your head?
- Does your signing feel mechanical or unnatural?
- Do you struggle to understand why some signers seem so effortless?
- Have you hit a plateau in your signing development?
- Do you want to understand what makes master signers different?
If you answered yes to any of these, Unlearning Words will provide the insights you're looking for.
