Beginning ASL Class with Miss Zyafirah! starts Tuesday April 13

Please welcome to the stage Miss Zyafirah!!!

During this 6-week online sign language class for beginners, you will be learning ASL basics from a Deaf Drag Queen. You’ll get your fingers moving as Miss Zyafirah teaches you how to:

• Fingerspell the ABCs and 123s
• Ask for your crush’s phone number
• Set up times for zoom dates
• Thank essential workers
• Sign the colors of the pride flag

Make the most out of your quarantine by honing your invaluable American Sign Language (ASL) skills. Having a basic grasp on sign language will enhance your ability to interact with people who rely on sign language as their main mode of communication.

Learning a language as unique as this one will open up a world of new people to meet and new relationships to form. Whether you are looking to get closer to a Deaf family member, get to know a Hard of Hearing coworker, or prepare yourself to greet a member of the Deaf community, you will develop an awareness of Deaf culture and have fun doing it!

COVID-19 may have stopped Visually Speaking from teaching classes in person, but now you can learn American Sign Language from a Drag Queen in the comfort of your own home. These online classes have a maximum class size of 8 students, which provides a more hands-on learning experience compared to a larger group. Miss Zyafirah’s online classes let you benefit from the Deaf community’s 20+ year reliance on videophones and videoconferencing technology. Learning ASL through online tools is a great way to become familiar with the Deaf community’s cultural practices of existing in a digital world.

In just six short weeks with Miss Zyafirah, your fingers will be flying! But don’t let flying fingernails stop you… keep leveling up your ASL skills with a Continue Your ASL Online class!
