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.

ASL 2 builds on those skills by expanding vocabulary, improving sentence structure, increasing conversational fluency, and introducing more advanced ASL concepts. Students will practice real-life communication, develop confidence in signing with others, and strengthen their understanding of deaf culture and ASL grammar. This class is ideal for adults who want to continue their ASL journey and move beyond beginner-level signing to more comfortable, confident communication. Prerequisite: American Sign Language I
