¡El lenguaje de señas americano es genial! Curso para principiantes en curso (de 9 a 12 años)

Sign Language is a beautiful, expressive language that I LOVE to teach. Kids can soak up the language like a sponge at an early age and often love using it. In short… ASL is Awesome!

  In this ongoing course learners will start communicating in ASL from the very first class.  While building a strong vocabulary in ASL is important, this course focuses on how to USE the signs they learn. When learners enjoy a class and know how to use the signs they learn, they are much more likely to retain them. 

  Every week has a theme that is presented with animated slides, images and/or videos to help keep learners engaged.  We will use memory retention techniques and games throughout the course.  Some weeks review sheets will be used and sent to all learners after the class to help them practice and remember what they learned.  

 This course is great for absolute beginners and for those who may already have some exposure to sign language.  Since the class is ongoing you can join during any week, however attending every week will provide the most well rounded introduction to ASL. 

I’m looking forward to signing with you soon!
