👍 This course is designed to INCLUDE complete beginners without any sign language experience.
IN THIS COURSE, you're going to learn, practice, review, and master over five hundred (500+) basic and fundamental signs in ASL. The 500+ signs are divided into the following fourteen (14) useful categories:
- Starter Signs (32)
- Family Signs (40)
- Emotion Signs (40)
- Color Signs (30)
- Home Signs (40)
- Personality Signs (40)
- Question Signs (20)
- Verb Signs (50)
- Common Things (40)
- Place Signs (50)
- Time Signs (52)
- Occupation Signs (50)
- Number Signs (#s 0-100)
- Food Signs (50)
WITHIN each category, you’ll learn the signs in groups of ten. Each vocabulary sign is taught individually in its own video lesson. We’ll thoroughly explore handshape, hand position, and hand motion for each sign.
AFTER you’ve learned ten signs, we’ll do a two-part review: 1) Signing 2) Understanding. We’ll repeat this cycle of learning ten signs + two part review until all of the signs in the category have been learned.
ONCE you’ve learned all of the signs in a category, we’ll have a nice, big, juicy test covering everything. Just like the review lessons, you’ll be tested in two parts: 1) Signing 2) Understanding. It’s a great opportunity to show off your new skills.
AFTER the big, juicy test, you’ll have fun signing dialogues using what you’ve already learned in the course. You’ll learn to combine signs to form complete questions, statements, and mini-dialogues.
