ASL 1.2
This is continuation from the beginning class.
Learning sign language is a great way to teach diversity awareness, cultural perspectives, and how to communicate when you meet a Deaf person.
—If you’ve fallen out of practice, this class is a great way to get your hands back up and moving.
—If you took a class with us before and want more, welcome back!
—If you haven’t taken a class with us, but you’re looking for a silent, immersive experience, we are excited to meet you!
We will spend 6 weeks working on improving the skills you already have, and building them into storytelling and conversation skills. We will play games and activities to reinforce basic ASL vocabulary and grammar appropriate for use in multiple settings.
Learning ASL is not as difficult as it seems, its fun!

Michele Poteet is a SODA (Sibling of Deaf Adult), with American Sign Language (ASL) being her first language. She was born and raised in California, attending Deaf events and socializing with the community.
Michele went to college in Oregon, initially attending culinary school and obtaining a business degree. While in school, she took two years of ASL for fun, and fell in love with the language all over again. She spent her last summer in college teaching high school students ASL I with the support of her college professor.
A few years later, Michele moved to Tri-Cities, Washington and became an educational interpreter. She interpreted for four years before moving to the Seattle area in summer of 2018. She continues to interpret for the school district and is obtaining her Master’s Degree in teaching ASL.
In her spare time, Michele enjoys traveling spending time at the beach, scuba diving, hiking, tasting desserts, and taking her dog everywhere!
