HERE'S what some of our students have to say:

Melanie Wiecek ~ This teacher is amazing. I love his positive attitude, and you can really tell that he loves teaching ASL. I highly recommend this course if you are looking to learn sign language.

Monica Martin ~ I rated this five stars because the teacher makes ASL easy to learn. This is a good fresh up course. Excellent teacher.

Suellen Maforte ~ The teacher is great, really calm, clear and precise. Can definitely see myself learning quickly with him. He’s also adorable.

Snowy ~ i just bought the course and i love it, your so fun to listen to and ur small jokes really brighten up the mood that i get excited to get to the next episode

Johnny Lopez ~ This was truly amazing. I've learned so much in such a short time. I shall continue to practice daily. Thank you!

D C ~ The instructor immediately pulls you into the rich world of sign language. Beyond learning the basics, he illustrates new words and gives the novice a practical feel for sign language. Great for someone (like me!) who has never studied the language. I'm enjoying the class so far and look forward to continuing.

Gautam A ~ Thank you, Michael, for being such a wonderful instructor. I had so much fun and got to learn something new and useful.

Umar S ~ Before taking this course, I found the sign language difficult, but as good as the sign language is being taught and taught, I think anyone can learn the language. The condition is that the teacher should be as it is. Thanks
