American Sign Language (ASL) is available as one of 120+ languages you can learn at no cost to you with your Local Library Card or POWER E-Card number.
ASL stands out as a remarkably accessible language that facilitates complete communication for individuals who are hard of hearing or d/Deaf. Consequently, mastering ASL provides a chance to establish bonds with the Deaf community and nurture friendships/relationships beyond the realm of the hearing world.
The course contains 77 lessons covering fingerspelling, over 800 sign videos, and a series of Deaf culture facts. By the end of this 30-hour course, learners will build a good foundation in ASL and Deaf culture.
Here is a selection of e-book titles accessible to you for free with your local library card or e-card. Stay tuned for additional recommendations next month!
