This course will be tons of fun!!! 

We will meet once a week for a 10 weeks, one semester. This course is my Part 1 and Part 2 classes combined and is a more intensive learning course, we learn a lot in each lesson throughout this course and students are expected to do their part by practicing and reviewing the class recording each week.  I am always available to questions throughout the week as well! 

No previous knowledge of ASL is needed! Minimal knowledge is ASL is fine as well! I am looking forward to learning, laughing, and signing with your children soon!!

Class policy: Each student must have a camera on during this so that I can help them with the correct hand-forms and locations, this is an essential part of learning in this course. Student's will also be engaging and practicing their ASL signs with conversations and their hands must be seen for this. If the student does not want their face seen, they may angle the camera to only show their hands.

Learning Goals

Students will learn vocabulary, grammar, conversation skills, translating, and Deaf culture,
