ASL: Curso de nivel intermedio

This class will focus on the correct ASL structure used for conversations in ASL. We will learn grammar concepts including: types of sentences,  tenses, plurality, metathesis, noun/verb differences etc.

We will also focus on tips for improving both your receptive and expressive fingerspelling. There will be lots of practice with this.
