Introductory Course in American Sign Language (ASL)

In the first week of the Summer School, a practical ASL course will be taught every day for half an hour, during the second half of the lunch break. The aim of the course is to learn the first steps into the sign language that is most widely used in Deaf academics, learn to fingerspell and -most of all- to become eager to learn more! The course is open to open to all summer school participants. For those who can’t wait, visit www.start-american-sign-language.com.

NB. This is a course for beginners and no previous experience is necessary.
