ASL | First 500+ Basic Signs | American Sign Language (Udemy.com)

This course is fantastic. I'm truly understanding the signs and how they work, not just blindly memorizing. I had worried I wouldn't retain the information..but I am! The instructor is great! Easy to understand explanations and demonstrations. I'm following along easily and quickly. I'm proud of myself for signing. And I can say that in sign now! I've wanted to learn ASL for so long, thank you for making this possible.

I like how the lessons are broken down by individual words, so I can click to exactly what I want learn or focus on. I also like the instructor's humor and quirky laugh. It distracts the constant visual of a black & white almost feels like a splash of color through personality.

Great course on all levels. (I have a background in teaching, too!) This course has exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the clear instructions from this teacher, and also the review. And it's paced appropriately for someone who's never signed before. The only constructive criticism that I do have, is that, as receptive learning takes place first, it would be even better to have the "understanding tests" just before the other type of recall/review tests. Thanks a lot!!!! :)

This is my second Able Lingo course. I love that this course explains the sign and shows handshapes. I took a different course which was great for learning to recognize the sign but it wasn't great for teaching the handshape. Sometimes I change the speed or forward the video if I need to. I love having the option. The instructor is fun and easy to understand. I only wish there was a dictionary or search option to practice or find a certain sign.

The instructor explains in great detail the proper way to produce ASL and includes precise instructions about hand position, movement, and facial expression. Each sign or phrase is demonstrated several times in each lesson. The instructor clearly enjoys introducing this amazing form of communication to other hearing persons. Even mastering a little bit of ASL can open up a whole new world of friendships and knowledge. The instructor makes learning ASL fun and intriguing. Highly recommended! A+++

I found the instructor's explanations easy to understand, and the course content well scaffolded for beginners. Having the option to speed up the videos was helpful for when I felt confident with or already knew a sign. The captions need to be edited from open to closed for HOH learners like myself, but otherwise I've enjoyed it thus far.

So much time was spent repeating stuff that was learned in previous videos. It shouldn't have to be explained every time a letter or sign is used repetitively. if one is just randomly picking words or categories to learn, that would be one thing, however if you are using it as an entire class syllabus then you are being explained things dozens and dozens of times that have already been explained in previous videos. This slows the entire experience way down. Also, since this is more of a beginner's class, there are many words that are not going to be used regularly in one's conversation such as architect, triplets, mind blowing, honeymoon Etc. Thus, the words could have been more carefully selected

I absolutely love this course! I am hard of hearing and need to learn sign language and this makes everything so much easier. The instructor is amazing and the ability to go back to any part of the course at any time is so great. I'm in my early 40's and was so afraid I wasn't going to remember everything but it's not the case. if you are interested in learning ASL then I very highly recommend this course and any of his other courses. you won't be disappointed.

This course did a fantastic job being consistent, clear, and very thorough. I learned a lot and I will continue using the material to reinforce and refresh all these signs as I continue learning ASL. I already loaded another course by the same teacher and am excited to jump right in and learn more common phrases.

I'm loving the course. Advice to students: Lessons are easy, but Don't move on too quickly. If you feel you got the section, go back and do the reviews only. I still have a lot to learn: especially learning not only to spell, but to do that at a quicker speed. Thank you so much!
