Buff Up on a New Lexicon With the Able Lingo Complete ASL: First 500+ Basic Signs Course

It’s that time of year when football season has found its way back to us again. We’re not saying you can’t pick up some sweet skills during TNF, we’re just commenting that it’s probably a good idea to balance that brainpower with something a little more practical. The Able Lingo Complete ASL: First 500+ Basic Signs Course is a great way to learn a new language at your pace.

Created by TESOL- and TEFL-certified instructor Michael Honkanen, this course is packed with ASL signs, tips, and tools to communicate on all fronts. With 29 hours of content, you can easily become immersed in all things ASL in your spare time while still giving your attention to the family (or the dog, but he is your family).

The course dives into a variety of different sections including family, emotion, colors, home, personality, questions, verbs, places, and time signs, as well as common communication and how to sign for different food items (which is our favorite portion of this deal, if we’re being completely honest). Lessons like hand shapes, hand positions, and hand motions for each sign are aplenty, so you’re never left with tied-up fingers.All finished? Once you’re done, you’ll take one final exam to see how well you’ve digested the material. If you pass, you can brag to all of your buds how you can speak two languages while Brad can barely string along a sentence in English (and what he does manage to blow out of that hole is usually hot air anyway).

Not quite ready to take the full plunge? That’s cool, learning a new language demands a certain amount of attention you don’t want to navigate away from. This course comes with a lifetime subscription, so it will wait if you need to pause or restart the content.
