Have you always wanted to learn Sign Language?
Now is your chance!
Beginning Sign Language Class
This ASL class is for people with NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE using sign language. The course will cover American Sign Language basics: finger-spelling the alphabet, asking questions, numbers, relationships, time, and colors.
American Sign Language (ASL) is an invaluable skill for everyone and fun to learn. Learning to sign is a great way to teach diversity awareness, cultural perspectives, and how to communicate when meeting a Deaf person. A basic grasp of ASL enhances your ability to communicate with Deaf in your community. It’s also a marketable professional skill that can translate into public service jobs. In just 6 weeks your fingers will be flying!
