Learning American Sign Language (ASL) helps to build different aspects of communication. You become more aware of deaf community issues and more sensitive to people who are hard of hearing. You’ll even promote understanding and acceptance as you develop a stronger appreciation for deaf culture. With literally millions of people in the United States alone that use ASL as their native language, you’ll encounter someone who signs at some point.

The Ultimate Learn American Sign Language Bundle makes it easy to learn ASL. The 121 courses in the bundle include over 1,100 lessons, all designed for complete beginners without any prior knowledge of ASL. You’ll explore tons of exercises and activities to improve your speed, recognition, and understanding of ASL.

As a former police officer and federal investigator, instructor Michael Honkanen often used ASL to communicate with and interpret for witnesses, victims, and perpetrators. He provides a welcoming, fun, and relaxed environment for learning. Uncomplicated, yet effective, lessons are easy-to-digest with clear goals and action steps, followed by interactive review and testing.

The courses cover nearly every facet of ASL. You’ll explore the alphabet, nouns, pronouns, action verbs, numbers, colors, food, antonyms, emotions, personalities, occupations, countries, days, and places, as well as fingerspelling, sentences, and narratives.

If you’re looking for the ability to communicate with deaf co-workers, this bundle will expand the way you can interact with others on a daily basis. In fact, the benefits of learning ASL go beyond easily connecting with deaf people. Learning ASL gives you the ability to reach someone across a crowded room without shouting, to be understood after losing your voice, or to communicate without interrupting a phone call.

The quality of training is easy to trust, earning an average rating of 4.8/5 stars from reviewers. With simple, bite-sized lessons, you can jump in and start signing immediately! You can also take advantage of savings through Nerdist today. This 21-course bundle is on sale for just $34.
