In this class, student will develop the basic skills to communicate using American Sign Language, from mastering common signs and fingerspelling to understanding everyday conversations.

I started learning ASL when I was 8 because I made a friend who had cochlear implants and wanted her to not feel left out at school. I have been able to utilize my gained knowledge and expand upon it throughout life and even work. Little did I know I would become hard of hearing myself. Being passionate about sign language has lead me to teaching in person ASL classes to homeschoolers and now virtually here. 

Homework Offered
Learners will benefit from practicing during the rest of the week what was covered in class. Learners typically benefit from 10 minutes of practice daily.  Parents can encourage this by asking them to teach them their favorite sign or phrase they learned that week. Learners can also practice by signing words when they verbally say them in conversation. I will provide an ongoing list of words and phrases covered in class. 
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
