What You Will Learn?

• Welcome to my class on Fingerspelling in ASL! I'm so glad you found this course because this is your one stop shop if you're wanting to learn the ins and outs of Fingerspelling in American Sign Language. .
• Fingerspelling is a core part of ASL. I don't know if you know this, but There isn't a sign for every English word in ASL. In fact there are around 200,000 words in the English dictionary and only around 10,000 signs in ASL. The rest of those words would be expressed with fingerspelling or with other gestures. .
• The point is if you're learning ASL and want to have conversations in ASL you NEED to know how to fingerspell. .
• In this course I start with teaching you the fundamentals. .
• Not only am I teaching and showing you how to fingerspell, YOU too will fingerspell! We have over a dozen "hands-on" exercises giving you an opportunity to practice as you learn. .
• Everything you need to learn is here. If you put in the time and practice what you learn you will become confident in your fingerspelling skills. .
