Hello ASL Heroes! 
I'm glad you are here!  You can learn ASL!  You've picked a great topic to be studying.  Signing is useful skill that can open up for you a new world of relationships and understanding. I've been teaching American Sign Language for over 20 years and I am passionate about it.  I'm Deaf (HoH), my wife is d/Deaf, I hold a doctorate in Deaf Education / Deaf Studies. This is my life.

What you are learning here is important. Knowing sign language will enable you to meet and interact with a whole new group of people. It will also allow you to communicate with your baby many months earlier than the typical non-signing parent!  Learning to sign even improves your brain!  (Acquiring a second language is linked to neurological development and helps keep your mind alert and strong as you age.)

I feel you, as my student, deserve my very best efforts on your behalf. It is my goal to deliver a convenient, enjoyable, learning experience that goes beyond the status quo and empowers you via a forensic system, breakthrough methodologies, and a re-engineered approach that saves you time & effort while providing maximum results.

I designed this communication-focused curriculum for my own in-person college ASL classes and put it online to make it easy for my students to access.  I decided to open the material up to the world for free since there are many parents of Deaf children who NEED to learn how to sign but may live too far from a traditional classroom.   Now people have the opportunity to study from almost anywhere via mobile learning, but  I started this approach over 15 YEARS ago -- way before it became the new normal.  (You can self-study for free or take it as an actual course for $483, see here for more details. Many college students use this site as an easy way to support what they are learning in thier local ASL classes.)
