Hereā€™s What Weā€™ll Do For You
We will give your ASL skills a tune up. You may have gotten lazy with grammar and structure, or simply forgot. This beta course will add the oil needed to get your ASL machine running properly.
Feeling Rusty?
One possible side effect of not signing for a period of time may result in poor grammar and syntax. You may find yourself signing more in English order. Or, you may have continued your bad sign habits because there's no one to call you out on it.
We will become your virtual ASL coach. Our goal is to brush up your ASL skills while providing you with the opportunity to sign with others in a natural setting.
Forgot How It Feels To Be Signing On A Regular Basis?
With this beta course, you get the chance to interact LIVE with not one, but TWO Deaf native signers who are also experienced and professionally trained ASL educators. We can easily identify areas in which you need improvement and show you how to get there. The best way to improve your ASL skills is by immersion. This is your chance to get right back into it!
Lacking Confidence In Your Sign Abilities?
This course helps you communicate with confidence in sign language. To develop sign confidence, you need consistent feedback and support. We get that. That is why we emphasize personal feedback. Go forth with confidence knowing you have access to Deaf people at your fingertips who care about you.

How The Course Works
This is a 6-week beta version of our intermediate/advanced ASL course. We are creating this course on demand. The students tell us what they need & want, and we will build it offering formal instruction, resources, and best of all, live support. At the end of this course, you will be asked to evaluate your overall experience in this class, which will act as a springboard for future online courses. With the live class format, we are doing what we do best - TEACH. The best part is, we donā€™t have to worry about grading or anything like that. We just get to interact with awesome people like you.
What's Included
LIVE SESSIONS
We are hosting a weekly live session. Dates of live session will be determined in class. In the event you cannot attend the session, you can watch the replay. Questions may be provided in advance to ensure that you get the most out of the live session whether or not you are in attendance.
ACCESS TO INSTRUCTIONAL LESSONS
You will get full access to recorded teaching lessons. This is a great opportunity to revisit grammar concepts you previously learned. Not only that, but you will have the opportunity to test your receptive and expressive skills by completing assignments. Personal feedback will be provided.
PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK
We offer our students the opportunity to complete guided assignments and receive feedback on their performance. In addition, immediate feedback will be given during live sessions. Get back on track developing constructive sign habits.
What Are You Waiting For?
This beta version will not be offered again. Take advantage of having the privilege to work with two Deaf professional instructors and native signers for 6 weeks. That's all we need to show you how getting back into ASL is like riding a bicycle. Are you in?
