Learn the American Sign Language with songs at a long-awaited online ASL summer class for adults and children. Enjoy cross-cultural exchange and inspirational music!
American Sign Language is the 3rd most widely used language in the United States. Sign with Me offers a non-conventional way to learn it - the traditional classroom settings will be replaced with a performing arts platform, where you can learn to sign with inspirational music.
Sign with Me, an award-winning ASL interpreting company, launched registration for its long-awaited American Sign Language interactive virtual summer class, which will be held online using the Zoom platform. The class will use inspirational songs to connect the deaf and hearing communities.

The class will be held in June and July 2021 in small groups of 5 to 15 students. Registration is open from April 1st to May 23rd, 2021.
The unique program incorporates music as a way to teach ASL. Learners will practice interpreting popular inspirational songs using a combination of sign systems.
The class is suitable for adults and children from 9 years of age. Participants of the class will start by learning the ASL alphabet and numbers. They will then move on to basic sign phrases, fingerspelling, and category signs. Finally, they will practice with lyrics translation. Performance Recitals will be held on the last day of class and will be recorded.
Tuition includes electronic course materials, a Certificate of Completion, and a video link of the recital performance.
