Our Mission: Bringing Personal Dreams Within Reach
Since most of us have that something we've always wanted to learn-- speak a language, to paint, or dance, or play an instrument. These are personal dreams we hold dear, but as time passes and life gets in the way, these dreams can sometimes slip farther and farther out of reach. Formal schooling is often out of the question for busy adults. Private lessons are pricey and inconvenient. So how do we re-kindle these dreams and make them come true? That is the mission of Legacy Learning Systems: To make difficult skills accessible through multimedia self-education courses and bring personal dreams within reach.
What Should You Expect from the Learn & Master Sign Language course?
Everything is in One Place — With L&M Sign Language, your lessons are laid out in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step progression with everything you need in one place. Each lesson builds on the lesson before it, so you won’t miss anything. No need to buy countless training videos from a patchwork of sources.
A Comprehensive Course — Even though this course is designed for beginners, it takes you far beyond the basics of the typical instructional DVD. We get you started quickly, but your lessons will take you as far along the path to mastery as you care to go. You won't find a more comprehensive multimedia training course for sign language anywhere!
Support Along the Way — Perhaps the most important thing is that you won't have to learn alone. Our online support community is an integral part of the learning process and is free for all of our students. The instructors will be on the Discussion Boards and will be there for you when you have questions or need encouragement. Students who participate in this community are able to discuss their progress, post their questions (and recordings), as well as interact with other students as much they wish. Our job is not finished when you buy the Learn & Master Sign Language course. It is done when you have reached your dream of communicating with others using American Sign Language.

About Legacy Learning Systems
In a world of cheap, over-hyped, "Learn This Overnight" instructional videos, Legacy Learning Systems was founded to produce truly comprehensive multimedia training courses for those who want serious instruction in the comfort of their own homes. We believe that learning should be fun, unintimidating and systematic, with each new skill building on the previous one. Our first courses were in music instruction, but other topics related to the arts, hobbies, career, and a variety of special interests are under development.
Our Mission: Bringing Personal Dreams Within Reach
Nearly all of us have that one thing we've always wanted to learn. To sing. To dance. To play an instrument. To surf, sail, cook, or speak a foreign language. Whatever it is, we all have something we wish we could do. A personal dream.
As time passes and life gets in the way, that little dream can seem farther and farther out of reach. School is out of the question. Private lessons are pricey and inconvenient. But what if something could make it possible?
That is our mission. To make difficult skills accessible through multimedia self-education courses. To bring personal dreams within reach.

This is good because it is a good app and you can learn good thing just by listening to the thing that you are learning and you will be good at that thing as long you learn and listen to the thing that you are learning you will be better at the thing that you are learning and when you get the thing you will be even better at the thing that you are doing and learning and you will be a pearl at it and you will be so good people will want to learn from you.

I think both trainers are excellent. I feel Stacey explains with enough detail, that helps me understand more clearly. I appreciate watching the differences between her signing & Dr. Byron Bridges signing. I look forward to my lessons daily.

The female talks with her hands too much, but it is not in ASL.. I can tell more from the deaf man than from the hearing female. I think she should sign in ASL as she speaks instead. Could be confusing to others that have not been learning ASL yet. I am a beginner already but find her hands more distracting.
By Lynedra Anderson on 11/5/2025
Whether you're new to ASL, need a refresher or want to learn more, I definitely recommend it. As an ASL novice and new to the Deaf community, this course helped me to build my confidence and expanded my knowledge base. The in-depth explanations, the demonstrations, Deaf culture highlights, etc., are encouraging.

If you're looking to get into American Sign Language without breaking the bank, this Udemy course is a fantastic starting point. It does a great job of breaking down the basics, like how to shape your hands, orient your palm, and use location, movement, and facial expressions to communicate. I found the downloadable PDF worksheets and vocabulary lists super helpful for practicing offline, which really made the lessons stick. One of my favorite parts was the quizzes; they have versions with and without answers, so you can really test yourself before checking your work, and the fingerspelling practice at three different speeds is a huge help for building up that skill. The little highlights on Deaf culture in each chapter throughout the course are also incredibly insightful and give you a much deeper appreciation for the language. To top it off, the short dialogues are perfect for pulling everything together and making sure you can actually understand a real conversation. Honestly, it's a really solid and well-put-together course for any beginner. Just keep in mind, this is an introduction meant to help you start simple conversations, and you'll definitely need more in-depth classes to really understand the rich complexities of the language.

This was an amazing course. I learned so much from this course. I have taken many online ASL courses, and this one is definitely one of the most in depth classes. It was also much cheaper than most of the other classes I’ve taken. I highly recommend this course. I had already taken many online ASL classes, and still learned a ton from this one. I liked the teachers as well. Since I have lifetime access to this course, I’m sure I’ll be retaking or revisiting at least parts of this in the future for review. I highly recommend it to both beginners and those that may be a little more advanced. I learned concepts in this class that I hadn’t learned in any of my previous classes!

3 stars because I like Stacy and Byron. But if you are really interested in learning ASL, please check out Dr. Bill Vicars at ASLUniversity. There are free courses as well as paid. I wish I would have went there first.

I like that I can work at my own pace, when I have the time and the best thing is that I can review any lesson at any time so I didn't need to take notes that I wouldn't understand later but can just go back, especially with vocabulary. I loved how you had two views for each sign. Thank you. Now, I want to start over and see if I can become more fluent. Thank you for an amazing course for a reasonable price.

By Emily DeRodeff on 11/8/2020
