American Sign Language I
For adults learning ASL over 5 weeks, a strong structure is built from survival signs, basic conversation, grammar foundations, simple storytelling, and real-world communication practice. Adult learners benefit most from repetition, interactive practice, visual learning, and real-life application. This beginner course is designed to give students a solid foundation in American Sign Language while building confidence and comfort using basic communication with others. This course is designed to be interactive, visual, and practical, giving adult learners a strong foundation before moving into ASL 2.
Danielle Davidson
Instructor
I am hard of hearing / Deaf and have been signing since 2012. I have experience teaching ASL in K-12 settings, and I currently work in the Anoka-Hennepin School District in various roles supporting students and communication access since 2017. I also attended Gallaudet University, which has strongly shaped my connection to the Deaf community and my approach to teaching. I look forward to continuing my work and having the opportunity to teach ASL to adult learners, helping them build strong communication skills and confidence in signing.
