You are welcome to sign up if you took ASL 1 elsewhere, or if you took it with me.

Camera is to be on at all times. This is a very interactive class between teacher and all learners. It is also important  that your face and upper body are visible, so the teacher and fellow learners can see everyone signing.

You will be learning part 2 of American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary, including proper ASL. We will play games and do fun activities, while learning! Some pages will be screenshot to show materials connected to the lessons. Learners will learn where to find vocab to study online for homework.  Each 55 minute class will involve vocabulary, and knowledge about ASL and the Deaf community, including Deaf history and about Deaf culture. There will be plenty of review each week. We will watch some short videos and discuss them in class, related to the information being taught. Learners will go into breakout rooms to practice their ASL vocabulary and sentences with one another, as the teacher pops into each "room" to assist, as needed, if there enough learners.  ASL will be used 99% of the time by teacher and learner.

 ASL is a visual language!  Full one year of knowledge is required. Zoom chat will also be utilized for communication. Much of this class will be a real-life high school curriculum, approved by the University of California.
