How is this different than our courses on lifeprint.com?
More
courses and more material for learning.
First, ASL 1 and 2 have been
vastly expanded on ASLTC with more explanation and videos for every example
story. There are additional stories signed by native deaf signers. Along with
the lessons are 81 new receptive quizzes for ASL 1 and 2
which are easier to use, self grade, and record in your personal grade-book.
The grade-book makes it easy to track your progress, and a certificate is
awarded on completion of all material.
Second, ASL Training Center has
the support structure with forums to discuss the curriculum. Students are also
able to Ask Dr. Bill and see the questions and answers to other questions. We
recommend you preview a sample lesson and take quiz
for that lesson. View the course
topics in the available
course menu. Your subscription allows
you to try not only ASL 1 and 2 but three new courses not available
on lifeprint.com. Plus, there are no advertisements to distract from
study.

Recent comments from our customers
ÒIÕm using
this website to learn sign language and it is working out great. IÕm not going
to any college or university. I work a regular day job and come on here at
night to learn and sometimes in the morning. I have recently finished all of
the lessons in fingerspelling 1.Ó
ÒThanks for creating an awesome alternative to learning ASL!!Ó
ÒI appreciate the opportunity to learn ASL at my pace and
ability to continue my studies when I am traveling.Ó
ÒASL Training Center is really helpful, and it motivates me to
study more.Ó
ÒThank you for adding the ASL Training Center in addition to ASL
University. Between these, I figure it is about the closest I will come to
having a class with you or your wife as my teacher. I have been taking ASL
classes off and on for several years, but I find that many times, there is a
hurry to get through so many chapters in a given time and never enough time
given to review. Your videos with the lessons do a great job at incorporating
and practicing what has been taught already along with the new. I don't feel
like I am sinking going through your lessons. Thank you so much.Ó
ÒHighly recommended!!! Brilliant,
comprehensive and fun. I'm quite HOH and about 60. I've been struggling
to make headway with learning ASL for several years now. I've tried actual
classes and just about every ASL online learning site. ASLTC is just what I
need!Ó
ÒYay!!!! I'm so thrilled!!!!!!!Ó
