Learn ASL !!!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: always and only learn ASL from a Deaf person. Steer clear of content creators that speak + teach ASL simultaneously.

Hearing people (including interpreters) have no agency to teach the legacy of this language accurately and honorably!!!!

YouTube:

•Bill Vicars - ASL basics, long standing resource of learning material. Also has his own website lifeprint.com. Strong recommend.

•ASL Nook

•Dack Virnig - Deaf story teller (he's from MN!)

Facebook:

•"Sign Language 101" page - reels of teaching signs, usually in a category.

•ASL Connect - page

•Community Ed courses offered in person or on Zoom. Nominal costs, sometimes free. Check if taught by a Deaf person before registering.
