ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

  • Hello! My name is Michael. When I was three years old, my younger brother became sick with spinal meningitis. In the process, my brother became deaf with an almost complete hearing loss. This difficult situation provided a unique opportunity for my family and I to become fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). My brother was not sent away to a deaf or hard of hearing school. He grew up with us, his hearing family, and we were active in the deaf community.

  • As a police officer and federal investigator, I often used ASL to communicate with and interpret for witnesses, victims, and perpetrators. I decided to create ASL courses because it’s a useful and practical skill to have. Like learning any language, it opens your mind and creates the ability to communicate with a whole new group of people.

I have tried different youtube channels, books, and googling signs trying to learn ASL from home. This is the easiest and fastest way. Each video is 2 minutes. He shows how to sign each word from different angles. He goes over it again and again, and pieces together each component for you. The problem with learning from youtube is that the instructor usually isn't verified and I've had to do research for each word taught to make sure that it was accurate, and then they also tend to go too fast. I don't need to do any extra steps here. By the end of each video, I understand the sign fully and I can trust that each sign is accurate. I can also easily write down the number that each sign is attached to on my flashcards for easy review. I just bought my 2nd course and I intend to do all of the courses he offers.
