Each review on this page was shared by a beginner ASL student learning American Sign Language through Able Lingo.
This feedback continues to improve the ASL Bundle For Beginners while helping future students discover whether this guided learning experience is the right fit for them.
I hope you enjoy reading their stories.
I’ll go straight to the point. This course actually explains the structure of the signs in detail, like the hand shape, hand positions and hand movements. The teacher also shows you the signs from different angles so there is no doubt about how it’s done. The teacher is very charismatic too, so it keeps a fun and happy atmosphere all the time. There are specific lessons at the end of every 3 sections that are to test your understanding and to practice the signs, so you can go back anytime to those lessons to practice them all, which is very convenient. Thanks!

The instructor is probably one of the most likeable humans on earth. His ability to engage an audience and display his enthusiasm is pure gold. There is something uniquely likeable about him and he seems to emit pure joy. The learning process laid out in this course works to not only help me execute a sign accurately, but to also be able to recognize that sign when executed by someone else. This is so huge because other courses I’ve looked at seem to focus only on the execution piece but, what’s the point in being able to speak to someone if you cannot “listen” in return? I find myself practicing my learning throughout the day. I’m excited to complete this course and move on to the next one. I may never have an opportunity to use this in a real world way, and I don’t expect I’ll ever become truly fluent in ASL, but I’m having fun with it all the same.

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. 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 really appreciate all of the Able Lingo courses. They are clear and include many opportunities to practice, as well as information that will help across varying communities. So far these courses have helped me to move past primarily signing main concept words, but to be able to fully interpret a 30 minute lesson. But this was my goal and I was incredibly pleased to be able to get there as quickly as I did with the help of Able Lingo. Also, on the budget of an arts teacher many other options available are beyond my price range. Thank you!
— Stephanie Jacobson
Able Lingo ASL Student
The ability to backtrack and revisit a chapter, the ability to speed or slow the videos, a steadily increased signing speed after the initial concept is taught, and the small bites of knowledge which allow the learner to proceed gradually all without treating them like a child makes this Able Lingo series good. The teacher makes it great. He manages to be encouraging without being condescending.

Hands down, this is the best alphabet/fingerspelling course I have ever taken. The differing speeds are extremely helpful as well as the resources! How kind to share the games so that I can use them further! Both of my sons have autism and cannot communicate fully using spoken language. We have tried many options and none have been the right fit. The younger has taken quickly to using signs while the older struggles. But he responded to this and made a few of the letters with me. He seemed to enjoy watching. So thank you! Michael, your clear presentation is fantastic. I cannot praise your course enough and am excited to do more.
— Rebecca K Reed
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love how each video showed in detail from all sides how to properly sign each word. I love the mini tests after each small section, and the larger testing videos at the end of each larger section. These tests will be wonderful to go back through periodically to test myself on these signs as well. I really enjoyed the dialogues at the end of each larger section, and how previous signs we learned were built it. Excellent way to see if I really remember each previous sign. These dialogues were also an excellent way to start learning how to form sentences, and understand the differences between sentence structure between English and ASL. I love your learning style, and I am having a really great time with these courses. Thank you for providing an amazing way to learn a new language.
— Shannon Hill
Able Lingo ASL Student
By far the BEST instructional material I have come across for learning ASL. It’s calm, logical, explained extremely well. I highly recommend! Far better than anything else on apps/ YouTube I have found.
— Jean Doolittle
Able Lingo ASL Student
I have watched and tried to learn from other videos. I have paid as much as $217 for one course. This instructor is very clear, concise and efficient and teaching each sign, but provides enough repetition so that the student fully masters each sign taught
— Sue Partin
Able Lingo ASL Student
This course is fantastic. I’m truly understanding the signs and how they work, not just blindly memorizing. I had worried I wouldn’t retain the information..but I am! The instructor is great! Easy to understand explanations and demonstrations. I’m following along easily and quickly. I’m proud of myself for signing. And I can say that in sign now! I’ve wanted to learn ASL for so long, thank you for making this possible.
— Nancy Bennett
Able Lingo ASL Student
I LOVE this course. Prior to the course i knew the alphabet and a few signs. Now I feel like I can have a conversation. Very slowly. :) I love that you break down the signs and show them from different angles. Also, that I could speed up, skip ahead, or slow it down if needed. I also really like that you note when a sign is similar or the same as another sign, or anything else that is helpful to know about a sign. Love the dialogues. And, you just make it fun.
— Martha Robertson
Able Lingo ASL Student
Great match for me! I have ADHD so I like all the details and going over it multiple times. I am a hearing person and want to be able to speak to my non-hearing friends at church. Thank you for the way you are teaching us! A God send for me!
— Paul Riley
Able Lingo ASL Student
The instructor explains in great detail the proper way to produce ASL and includes precise instructions about hand position, movement, and facial expression. Each sign or phrase is demonstrated several times in each lesson. The instructor clearly enjoys introducing this amazing form of communication to other hearing persons. Even mastering a little bit of ASL can open up a whole new world of friendships and knowledge. The instructor makes learning ASL fun and intriguing. Highly recommended! A+++
— Adiv Abramson
Able Lingo ASL Student
Not yet finished with the course but so far the instructor is engaging and I can tell he is an expert at asl. The words and phrases are useful immediately. I don’t have to wait till the end of the course to use asl. I used it right away after the first lesson. After my first lesson I also gifted a course to my nanny. That’s how much I liked it already! I only wanted to take this course but after this I will take his other courses. This is a gem of a course!
— April Harkness
Able Lingo ASL Student
i love this format i have tried other online courses but i end up doing the sign wrong due to they didn’t show the signs from the side and also to practice them on actual sentences this is by far the best course i have tried great job making this easy and fun way to learn asl.
— Francisco J Gomez
Able Lingo ASL Student
Thank you so much. This has made it easy so far to start my journey into learning ASL. No class time. No commitment. When I’m busy, I’m busy. When I can take time to practice, I can take time…I love how you go piece-by-piece with the recognition (from signing it silently, to signing letter-by-letter, to saying the word; all so that there are as many familiar sounds associated with the sight as possible!).
— SM
Able Lingo ASL Student
I think this is great for a beginner and the sign is shown from front and side. I especially like the understanding part. It’s one thing to memorize vocabulary but it’s another thing to see the sign and to understand what the person is saying. Great course!
— Hope Cummins
Able Lingo ASL Student
I am hard of hearing and need to learn sign language and this makes everything so much easier. The instructor is amazing and the ability to go back to any part of the course at any time is so great. I’m in my early 40’s and was so afraid I wasn’t going to remember everything but it’s not the case. If you are interested in learning ASL then I very highly recommend this course and any of his other courses. you won’t be disappointed.
— Nathan Hunter
Able Lingo ASL Student
This course took me a little over 2 months to finally complete but boy did it help me learn a lot. The formatting is definitely the biggest factor in helping me remembering all my signs. I really liked the incorporation of reviews and dialogues after each section. I also really liked the different perspectives we got for each new sign because seeing from just the front can make things a little tricky to grasp.
— John Jimenez
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love that this course explains the sign and shows handshapes. I took a different course which was great for learning to recognize the sign but it wasn’t great for teaching the handshape. Sometimes I change the speed or forward the video if I need to. I love having the option. The instructor is fun and easy to understand. I only wish there was a dictionary or search option to practice or find a certain sign.
— Stacy Hull
Able Lingo ASL Student
Excellent course!! Teacher is engaging, energetic, and thorough. He shows you the signs from the front & sides, and breaks down the phrases and words in a clear way. Perfect class for beginners! I never knew how facial expressions were so helpful within ASL communication. I’m excited to keep watching & taking more of his classes!
— Laurie Fitrakis
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love this series. The structure of each lesson really reinforces the signs, but most of all I like the detailed explanations of the signs, especially the hand shapes and facial expressions. I have taken many different classes on line, and others also have their strengths, but this is by far the best for getting a clear understanding of how to make the signs.
— Lynne Tamor
Able Lingo ASL Student
Great course on all levels. (I have a background in teaching, too!) This course has exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the clear instructions from this teacher, and also the review. And it’s paced appropriately for someone who’s never signed before.
— Karen Kurzdorfer
Able Lingo ASL Student
Thanks again! The courses complement each other — I can learn new material without being overwhelmed while reinforcing and reviewing words from other courses.. I’m getting very confident in my ability to build my own sentences now and am looking forward to taking more of these courses.
— Dolly Burgos
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is a very good teaching plan or curriculum of sign language. It is direct to the point and not much annoyance of some unnecessary inclusions like some other programs. I like the directness of the teaching in which it teaches you directly the things that you need to know instead of going around the bush about certain things that is not necessarily teaching the sign language in other programs, kudos to whoever built this curriculum. The way that this curriculum is also done is really good for the learner because there is a review and repetition of things which helps me remember what I need to learn if I miss certain days of listening or watching this video.
— Chyrel Garcia
Able Lingo ASL Student
This instructor is amazing. ASL seemed overwhelming but the structure and clear speaking, signing, and having the gestures from multiple angles is tremendous.
— Paula Churbuck
Able Lingo ASL Student
i ABSOLUTELY ADORE your teaching methods! not a lot of teachers break it down into this many comprehendable parts and you make it 10x easier to learn with raging ADHD. keep it up man
— Abbey Hamlin
Able Lingo ASL Student
The videos are quick and easy to do, no matter where you are. I can have the volume off and still learn. The explanations are great and the repetitive style helps the information stick.
— Kathy Walker
Able Lingo ASL Student
What a great collection of signs! I love that you include detail on how to create the handshape, which way the hand (palm) should face, placement and movement of hands — you make it all so easy. I really appreciate the data provided on facial expressions as well. Thank-you and God bless you for being so consistent and thorough.
— Lynda Berge
Able Lingo ASL Student
His teaching style is perfect. Just right down to business and good energy. If you go through and follow along with all the videos even if some seem easy you’ll ingrain it much better. I’m going to be getting all his ASL courses over time…This makes me feel like a child watching Baby Einstein but it’s exactly what’s needed.
— Jeff Knox
Able Lingo ASL Student
Excellent teaching methods. I already know about a 101-level, but I can see as I progress (I’m at lesson 45 currently) there will be a decent amount of new signs mixed-in. I’m getting to review proper hand positioning and facial expressions in the meantime and that is so valuable! The teacher is so happy, he’ll put you in a good mood just from watching his passion for ASL. He is meant to teach this class!! Thank you for offering the opportunity.
— Andrea Jordan
Able Lingo ASL Student
This was such a wonderful class to take! This teacher is a great instructor, gives clear instructions, and is consistent in his teaching! He makes learning ASL fun and engaging, and I can’t wait to take more classes from him. Thank you so much Able Lingo ASL. These are the best ASL classes on the internet that I’ve found so far.
— Claire
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love these courses. you make it so very easy for me to follow along with what you are doing without being so overwhelmed that i give up at it. short little bursts of things are an awesome way to learn on top of the fact you make things fun. i keep telling my hubs “i like Michael, he cracks me up and makes everything fun to learn.” you are very appreciated for all you do. keep up the good work. Happy Blessings.
— M Robin Brockman
Able Lingo ASL Student
Absolutely amazing. I’m doing it with my 14-year old who suffers greatly from Apraxia of Speech. He signed ‘yoghurt’ today to me, and I knew what he was asking for! Thanks so much. I honestly hope a new world will open up for him… and for me, where we can communicate better. Especially when I don’t ‘understand’ what he’s trying to say.
— Lilleen Hoek
Able Lingo ASL Student
As a retired teacher, I see the lesson as well thought out for a variety of learners abilities. In that, I could scroll to a speed that was comfortable for my ability. My only question is, what is the purpose of rocket speed? Keep up the great job! I learn a lot from you!!
— Carol Thomas
Able Lingo ASL Student
I just want to say that you are awesome and your courses are amazing. You have a great way of teaching and are extremely nice about it. You are really good at explaining things and very likeable. We made a pact as a family to learn something new together and thought this would be great for my kids’ brains and awareness, inclusion etc and we are really hooked. Yes sometimes it is a little overwhelming because there is so much to learn but you have made the journey a really pleasant one and will definitely continue. This is something everyone in the community should learn. Just wanted to comment on that!
— Ana Paniagua
Able Lingo ASL Student
I have taken several of Able Lingo’s classes, and he’s a great teacher and easy to follow. I have a deaf boyfriend and I had a really hard time reading his finger spelling. Able Lingo helped me with the recognition process. I knew the alphabet and could spell, I was just not reading it well. Thank you!!
— Roxanna Hoover Smith
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love the detailed explanations. It is useful that Michael is welcoming and smile-y. His eye glasses are a very useful prop in learning. I appreciate that each phrase has its own video. I jumped to words and phrases out of order. In the past I attended ASL emergent classes with poor results. Hearing the words and then practicing the words had better results for me. I struggled in totally silent classrooms. What a great class!
— Teresa Rudi Rudolph
Able Lingo ASL Student
Love the test features of this course. Really makes sure you not only know how to sign but how to recognize what people are signing to you. Also, I appreciate the ASL tips in between chapters. Helpful for someone who is speaking learning about ASL outside of the deaf community so far.
— Katie Riordan

Hi, I’m a disability support worker studying to be a nurse and always wanted to learn sign language for my field. This is a fantastic class and I highly recommend it! Thanks so much for being an awesome teacher! :)
— Jerry Cleofaz
Able Lingo ASL Student
A year ago I was slowing down your videos and watching several times. Today I am watching them at 1.25x speed and usually getting it all the first time. Thank you so much for continuing to add videos that give me opportunity to remember and practice my newly found ASL skills. You rock!
— Caren Augsburger
Able Lingo ASL Student
your teaching style is fantastic!!! I took ASL 1 and 2 last year but didn’t use it a lot, so I’m refreshing and learning new with you, and its going very well, i can’t thank you enough, I really want to learn to sign well, and you are making it possible for me! the decipher was excellent, the first one was a bit of a challenge, then suddenly my mind just flipped into ASL mode and I got it. Soooo exciting, i just wanna say THANKS A MILLION!!!
— Sandi Moore
Able Lingo ASL Student
I loved the setup of the classes! I have always wanted to learn sign language and as a complete beginner I really appreciated the interactive / actionable design of the class to help “cement” everything into memory! I also thought the teacher was really motivating through his super friendly way of teaching.
— Sophie Herbert
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is a great course. Very easy to understand and practice with. I love that I’m learning whole phrases. Not just words.
— Barbara Boss
Able Lingo ASL Student
I spent the last several months completing this course. I found it very valuable how he walked us through step by step to learn each sign. The narratives at the end were great practice for stringing together longer conversations.
— Grayson Perrinez
Able Lingo ASL Student
I really enjoyed this class ! The instructor is so engaging, clear and funny. I also really appreciate the work that goes into the visuals. I was looking forward to learning every day and ended up being thrilled when he came on with his glasses for tests lol. Highly recommended for beginners!
— Kimberly Jecrois
Able Lingo ASL Student
Great class! Thank you Michael for making this excellent class. I love, love, love that you included different speeds, fingerspelling words and the recognition exercises. I’m planning on using videos 43-47 as a warm-up (of course I won’t be able to do all of them at the same time, I’ll probably do a couple at a time) 🙂
— Mia
Able Lingo ASL Student
It is exceptional in the way it is being presented and the organization. I can review categories of signs or even an individual sign if I am having difficulty.
— Patrick Dorgan
Able Lingo ASL Student
Wow, an amazing course on ASL. beginners to intermediate. I can now carry on basic communication with other signers. Thanks so much!
— Mike Fisher
Able Lingo ASL Student
Easy way to learn basic signs!!! I have several deaf friends and really need this to be able to talk with them. I have been trying to learn sign language for years and have taken many courses. This is the best of them all!!
— Ann Parker
Able Lingo ASL Student
I have been wanting to make my ASL skills stronger, and more useful and practical, and thought it would be a great refresher course to make sure I had all my letters accurate and help build my speed and recognition, and I feel this course is well designed and offered more than I expected with practicing what you are learning. I am more than happy and off to look up more of his courses to help grow my knowledge.
— Amber Madairy
Able Lingo ASL Student
So far really good. Well thought out and explained. The showing of the signs from all sides is Perfect! and such a visual help! I also really appreciate the explanation of how some signs have multiple meanings/usage. Really well thought out course.
— Mikael Hardy
Able Lingo ASL Student
I am loving this course so far! The instructor has a great personality, and he spends just the right amount of time teaching you each sign. There’s also helpful quizzes at the end of each section for review. A lot of time and effort has been put into making this course, and I highly recommend it to others!
— Jennifer Noll
Able Lingo ASL Student
Very impressive. As a person who is going deaf and very much intimidated with learning ASL, I felt very comfortable. Appreciate your technique very much
— Kris Wagner
Able Lingo ASL Student
I have found following you I have learned more ASL and finger spelling than I have in all the years of working with finger spelling
— Kelly C Saletko-Bird
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is the fourth ASL course from Michael that I’ve taken. It was a great mix of new material and signs from earlier courses. I was even able to sign some of the sentences without the instruction, which was a real boost to my confidence. It also shows Michael’s ability to convey information so that it “sticks” long after the lesson. I’ve gone back to some of the sentences to switch out nouns and verbs, not just pronouns, to keep growing my vocabulary. I’m looking forward to taking more of Michael’s ASL courses. Thanks so much!
— Jena M. Gaines
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is awesome so far! We learned the alphabet in Kindergarten and for some reason I practiced it throughout my life every now and again, but we never really spent time on recognition excluding when we were learning the signs altogether. It was easier than I expected for my brain (I struggle with spatial recognition) to go from the signs I knew to reading them, but stringing them together in words does take a lot for now.
— Sam Smith
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love that there are explanations for each sign. He also shows signs that are similar (ex. wolf vs. sleep) so you know what to look out for.
— Sarah Damrau
Able Lingo ASL Student
I am only at the beginning, but the teacher is excellent. I love his multi-view approach. It truly helps. I love his enthusiasm and explanations too.
— Laura Miller
Able Lingo ASL Student
I came to this class with low expectations, but I found myself so engaged that I would practice unconsciously in my spare time. The repetition is great, so great that I caught on to the lessons quickly. I really like how the teacher explains the picture sign because if I went exactly as the picture showed me for the letter K my wrist would be fractured. AWESOME CLASS
— Nia Stone
Able Lingo ASL Student
First time that get explained in a course the movement and position of hands and expression of. Face, never seem that before one learning ASL
— Julio Santeliz
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is my first time learning ASL and I’m so excited to learn. I love everything about this course. The instructor is kind and smiling during the video. The videos leave me wanting me to learn more and more. I love how I can go back how many’s I can review the videos. The energy is so awesome. I love the videos are slow pace just my speed. I highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you
— Christina L
Able Lingo ASL Student
Michael seems so delightful and genuine that it makes it more fun to watch the videos. My son and I are taking the class(es), and we smile our way through the whole thing.
— Twila Olson
Able Lingo ASL Student
Thank you so much for this class. It was very clear and understandable. I just love the way you talk, as if it’s alright to make mistakes. That was comforting.
— Phoenix Roberts
Able Lingo ASL Student
Someone below couldn’t have said it better… it’s like learning ASL from Mr. Rogers. He makes it SO easy to understand each position, and the practice lessons are so pivotal to getting the motions in your body to live on autopilot. I can’t believe that after just one day, that I’m able to do the entire alphabet. In complete shock over here, don’t mind me. Can’t wait to get to the rest of his classes!
— Shay Leonia
Able Lingo ASL Student
My daughter Addie and I have been learning sign language bit by bit since she’s been out of school. She’s very expressive, friendly and social. I’ve always thought it would be awesome for her to be an interpreter some day. She has caught on really quickly from your classes and likes to show the alphabet to anyone she meets! We are about halfway through the emotions class now. Thank you for these classes!!
— Jenny Gunter
Able Lingo ASL Student
These courses are very helpful dealing with hearing impaired people I interact with at my job with the police.
— Elaine Raby
Able Lingo ASL Student
Perfect match. I know finger spelling, but I have not been able to practice much, as I am learning on my own. This class feels like having a true partner to sign with!
— Diana VonRoeschlaub

i absolutely love this!!! i took me a while to get through this course but i love learning this and i am so happy every time i understand a word or whole sentence correctly 🙂 😮
— Tiffany Benton
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love this and your daily lessons. I’m an older adult returning to learning ASL. I’ve always been interested and wanted to study it as a career at one time. Life…! But here I am again. Returning to hobbies that I love. Never give up!! Never!!
— YolandaHill-o2d

I’m truly enjoying this course, and best of all, I’m actually learning, too! The instructor is so informative, throws in humor, and the pacing is impeccable, this is perfect for beginners. Thank you for this wonderful course!
— Ashley Mulligan
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is my 5th ASL course with Michael. As expected, Michael makes this course very enjoyable. Thank you Michael.
— Vivian Hui
Able Lingo ASL Student
We love the teacher! He is so expressive and energetic and happy and friendly! The only thing I would do differently is organize the signs being taught in groups rather than alphabetical. For example, wh- question, people and pronouns, animals, etc. This teacher is amazing and we will continue using his videos
— Molly Cat
Able Lingo ASL Student
This is a no frills, high-density course created by someone with obvious enthusiasm for their subject material. 10/10 would recommend.

I love his classes! My dad upon turning 80- cannot hear even with hearing aids I am his rock & support- I have to take it slowly because I have a disability & these classes make all the difference- Thank you!

Able Lingo ASL Student
I love this class! Instructor is great at explaining everything and shows in detail from every direction.
— Amanda Hufford
Able Lingo ASL Student
I have always wanted to learn ASL but felt it was very complicated and my schedule does not allow for me to take long courses. This one is quick and beautifully explained.
— Susanna Smith
Able Lingo ASL Student
Great, clear explanations and examples. Useful words. My daughter is a court reporter and has been learning ASL and is informally teaching her 1 year old daughter. Actually, Maeve can sign more, milk, hat, goodbye (proper hand gesture!), and sleep. Excited to do this class to keep my 70 year old brain from turning to mush, to help my granddaughter learn, be a practice partner for my daughter, and maybe someday be able to speak with a deaf person in their language. 🙂
— Debra Burleigh
Able Lingo ASL Student
This course is great I would definitely recommend if you want to really learn sign language, besides I think everyone should learn even tho you might not use it daily it would be very helpful in case of an emergency or a situation needed to be able to communicate with someone. Also if you are in the medical field or customer support it should be a must.
— Yadielys Peña
Able Lingo ASL Student
I loved learning with Able 🤩 I’m a visual learner and the lessons were perfect! I love that I can access the course anytime I like and I especially love the review lessons as they’re a great refresher when I forget some signs.
— Natalie Holdstock
Able Lingo ASL Student
I like his pace and repetition. I don’t feel rushed to keep up. I like all the extra reinforcement exercises. His method of teaching is very effective.

— Callaghan McDonough

This is a great match for me. I’m working on the beginnings of becoming an interpreter and I really enjoy how the instructor takes his time and explains things. I enjoy his attitude and the format of the whole program.

Able Lingo ASL Student
Such a great course! Exactly what I needed to start learning for my grand kids.
— Paul Yelle
Able Lingo ASL Student
Yes, I went to school with a deaf student and watched an interpretor at the front of the classroom. This is all coming back to me several years later. I now where hearing aids myself as well as my children and other famiy members. i am looking to strengthen my signing for personal and professional reasons.
— Jackie Tiel

I love this application and the teacher makes it so much fun. if this guy would of been my school teacher I bet you that I would be a Doctor or neurosurgeon. that’s how great he is.
— Sonia Casey

It’s amazing. Learning and retaining pretty much every word I learned and that is saying something for me lol.

Loved this course so fun! I have learnt a little ASL before but this was taught in a very effective way so I could remember everything thanks!
— Madhu Nagarajan
Able Lingo ASL Student
I have only gotten so far into it but so far have learned a lot. I noticed that since high school some signs have changed and makes me feel a little like starting over. I’ll keep trying because we do get a few deaf people who come into my work and I want them to feel like I’m making an effort to communicate, without them always feeling like they have to write everything down. But you are a wonderful speaker because I’m not asleep when I watch. lol you’re fun and lively.
— Katrina Kluna
Able Lingo ASL Student
I love this course so far! The teacher is super nice and adds additional words and phrases within their sentences so I end up learning even more!

A wonderful course, very professional and easy to understand. The teacher is pleasant. He communicates the signs clearly and promotes clear communication. The information provided is excellent, because it can be used in many different situations and with many different combinations of words! I find the course teaches very foundational signs that you can expand on. I’m loving it so far!

So far it has been a pretty good fit. My Son is not speaking yet, and I would like to learn as many signs as I can so he can continue to move forward. This is great. I hope to get into things he is interested with. Trucks and cars and garbage trucks.
— Slate Stout

Sign with me 🙂 Micheal you are truly a gem. Your engaging style of teaching made it fun to learn… The tests are great and also very helpful for review. I wish they would teach this at all elementary schools. Hoping one day to be semi fluid in the language. I will work my way through all of your courses. Thank you for all your time in developing and taping all the lessons.

This was a great course for me! I’ve been learning a little for a few months, so I knew about 1/3 of the words. I just sped through and am planning to take the last test as practice until I get everything down. Thanks!

Now that I am finished with this course, I really enjoyed it. I feel secure having a very basic conversation in ASL and it encouraged me to look up some signs on my own.

I love how these lessons are organized, it makes it feel like I can work on it in small chunks when I have time because all the sections are split up. I will definitely keep taking classes from Able Lingo ASL!

The course has been great so far, although I’m only on lesson 8. The movements are easy to learn, the repetition is helpful for memorization, and the explanation of the hand forms has been very straightforward.

I feel like I’ve learned so much vocab from this course. The explanation are great and easy to understand. I love the variety and the motivational quotes as well. Super awesome course! Some repetition but all in all it is helpful!

I like how the lessons are broken down by individual words, so I can click to exactly what I want learn or focus on. I also like the instructor’s humor and quirky laugh. It distracts the constant visual of a black & white almost feels like a splash of color through personality.

I love learning from this teacher. He seems very happy to do nothing more than fingerspell at you and explain what he’s doing. It’s awesome.

I’m an ASL beginner, but already know some of the (very basic) signs. This is not only a good review for someone at my level, but probably a good review for someone slightly more intermediate than I am because the style is easy and engaging and provides a good foundation for other classes. All around, a great course!
— Abby Fuller

This is really a great class! Perfect speed, good practice exercises – overall just great! Thank you so much.
— Julia Harter

this class has been absolutely amazing! i suggest taking it a section at a time which is super easy if you stop at the recognition test and start the next session by doing the test and review again

This class is awesome and so easy to follow along! After learning the first 3 letters I got so excited and engaged in the episodes. It starts to get fun and challenging when he gets to the entire alphabet at bird speed. I went and found an online metronome to practice the whole thing at a set speed lol

The teacher is great, really calm, clear and precise. Can definitely see myself learning quickly with him. He’s also adorable.

I’ve never learned ASL before and was too nervous to try. I’m Shocked that my hands can not only create the signs but comprehend what i’m seeing and doing. Fantastic!! Definitely going to watch the other videos

A week ago, I didn’t know any letter signs in ASL. Started from scratch. Now I can do the whole alphabet no problem. Time to work on my speed.
— Corey Eubanks
Able Lingo ASL Student
Wow what an amazing class! I LOVED how thorough he was with each sign. After my brother started taking ASL from school, I decided I wanted to learn it too. He told me that this class was more helpful and educational than the school program. I HIGHLY recommend this to anybody looking to learn ASL!

The way he teaches is probably more for kids but it made me think of Mr. Rogers and even though I’m 36 years old, I still liked his teaching style.
— Carrie Horner

Great for beginners in learning ASL. I used to know the ASL Alphabet however, from lack of use I needed a refresher. The class lessons are very organized that I could easily review the letters, and move on to the next lesson. Great for learners who are beginners, or who just need a refresher course.
