ASL courses 1, 2, 3 January 15, 2021

The library of ASL words is fairly large, but less thorough than a free resource like Lifeprint. The woman signing most of the videos inside does not use ASL sentence structure, more of pidgin or PSE. As is to be expected with an online course, it's asynchronous, and therefore you lose the valuable aspect of having a conversation in the language.

In addition, the quizzes are multiple choice, which is not the best way to test comprehension. The quizzes are the only part where you might find a full sentence signed, instead of having videos of stories in ASL to watch, or other immersive videos where you could see the language completely as compared to sliced into words. Of course, learning individual signs is important, but you won't be competent in ASL until you can sign and understand full sentences in ASL sentence structure.

Overall, it's underwhelming. You get what you pay for, though, and this course is easily worse than a college course in ASL, but when the price is considered, it makes sense. This does have a good collection of sign words, but I would advise using some of the many free ASL resources out there to learn individual words as opposed to paying for the same sort of thing. Handspeak, Signing Savvy, and Lifeprint are just a few well worth mentioning.
