Prepare for your upcoming ASL classes with this resource! |
How to Grow in ASL as a New Signer
ASL is a much more visual and physical language, which is a big feat as a new signer because if you’re not already communicating with your hands, facial expressions, and body language, when you start it’ll take some getting used to.
Like most things, learning is done best when you’re going all in!
