👍 This course is designed to INCLUDE complete beginners without any prior knowledge of ASL. Previous ASL skills are welcome but NOT required.
IN THIS COURSE, we focus on developing students’ fingerspelling skills in American Sign Language (ASL). First, we’ll review the ASL alphabet and the four (4) fingerspelling rules. Students will learn to fingerspell common letter combinations and short words. Then, we’ll sign complete sentences which use a lot of fingerspelled vocabulary words. As we progress, the fingerspelled words and sentences will increase in difficulty. There will be many opportunities to test your fingerspelling, signing, and recognition skills throughout the course.
