👍 This course is designed to INCLUDE complete beginners without any prior knowledge of ASL. Previous ASL skills are welcome but NOT required.
IN THIS COURSE, we’re going to focus on signing common vocabulary and sentences in American Sign Language (ASL). We’ll see how English sentences are signed in ASL and learn each vocabulary word individually. Then, we’ll put the words back together and sign the complete sentence. We’ll go even further and learn extra vocabulary words to replace words in the original sentence. Along the way, we’ll do lots of review to guarantee your ability to sign correctly and understand what is signed to you.
