A Message From the Instructor
Here’s a bit about the course and who it’s for.
Never signed a single word before? No problem! By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently introduce yourself and your background; ask and answer questions about your likes, dislikes, and feelings; describe your family by name and age; explain why you’re learning ASL; and engage in basic introductory conversations using appropriate ASL grammar!
We’ll accomplish the above with video lessons, culture and grammar readings, comprehension activities, practice exercises, and more. All of this takes place online, so you can learn on your schedule, from the comfort of your own home. As with all courses, results may vary, but if you’re committed to learning basic American Sign Language, then this course will get you where you want to be! Let’s get started.
What students are saying:
“This year I had to complete a Senior Independent Study Project (SISP) for my high school.
Meredith’s course allowed me to go from knowing a few basic signs
to being able to sign and comprehend full-on conversations!
The course was organized in an efficient, organized manner
which allowed me to learn as well as test my newfound knowledge and skill.”
– Sydney H., 18, Massachusetts
“I discovered Meredith’s Beginner ASL course after watching many of her videos on YouTube. I took the course to supplement my “live” ASL 101 course.
Her course exceeded all of my expectations and will no doubt give me more confidence when I start ASL 102 in the fall. I highly recommend Meredith’s course to anyone starting to learn ASL.”
– Brian T., 59, Ottawa
“This course is an excellent first step into the world of ASL.
Easy to follow lessons; enough content to feel like you’re getting your money’s worth,
but not so much that it’s overwhelming and you can’t keep it all in; a solid grammatical foundation to put signs into an actual sentence.
What else can I say? 5/5 stars. Highly recommend.”
– Alexei C., Age 28
