American Sign Language - Level 3   

Class Overview

Practice American Sign Language and improve your skills. During this intermediate class, expand your American Sign Language vocabulary and cultural skills in order to communicate more effectively. 

Continue building upon the American Sign Language skills that you learned in our Level 2 course (or comparable level). Improve your understanding of narrative structure and movement agreement, including positions and actions. Explore role shift variations and types of classifiers in themes like incidents with the use of vehicles, dialogues about money and transactions, and explaining game rules.

Enjoy being a part of a community of learners while improving your ASL communication skills!
