The concepts are clearly presented and the videos build well on each other. I am learning a lot quickly.

We're so happy to have you as part of our American Sign Language community. Great job making such fast progress; keep up the awesome work!
I have had some experience with Sign Language classes and have also used ASL from other sites. This is a great learning experience even for someone just to use as a refresher. I have enjoyed the course and am excited to continue.

It's great to hear that Rocket Sign Language is helping you refresh your signing abilities. We hope you continue to get the most out of the course.
Taking the sign language course next to someone who is fluent in ASL and am being told that some of the syntax and even signs in the early modules are just incorrect. Disappointing that I have to have her check your work.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Braxton! Just like many other languages, American Sign Language (ASL) has unique variations depending on where you are. We always aim to present the most universally applicable version, but there will always be some regional variance. It is important to know that this does not necessarily mean it is incorrect and if you have any specific examples that you would like to discuss with us, please feel free to reach out at [email protected]. We'd be happy to help!
Easy to follow and very effective teaching method.

We're thrilled to hear that the Rocket Sign Language teaching method is helping you elevate your skills, Scott. Keep up the great work, and best of luck with your ongoing language learning!
I'm learning ASL and I just got to the numbers part- I was shocked to see that numbers 1-5 are wrong! Numbers 1-5 are always signed with the palm facing in, not out. If they got something so simple wrong, it makes me a little worried about how much they really know the language. Was this course designed by hearing or Deaf people?

Hi Eileen - Thanks for your review! I just thought that I would let one of our Sign Language experts respond... "While it is true that simply counting the cardinal numbers 1-5 in ASL the numbers are done with the palm facing in, for most practical uses of the numbers in daily communication the palm faces out - for that reason they are shown this way in the lesson. For example, if you were to tell the time you would not sign 2:05 as "time 2:05" with your palm facing in - it would face out. Another example would be a phone number - no matter which number 1-9 ,the palm always faces out. Really, there are many different deep language rules connected with number usage - for example how you count days, weeks and months - which will be introduced and explained in later lessons. Some of team who contributed to this course grew up using ASL to communicate, others attended ITP programs and are RID certified, while others have been educators in the Deaf community for nearly 20 years. Thanks to this feedback we can make some adjustments to the lesson to explain clearly why we are showing the numbers this way." So Eileen, thanks for your feedback. We will change it to make it clearer!
My daughter and I decided to start learning ASL and I came across this program through our library. It's going to be a great resource for us as we begin to learn!
So far really helpful! Thank you Rocket Languages.
I love how they talk to you in a friendly way. I'm really having fun learning ASL here.

We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying learning Sign Language. All the best with the course!
I am almost 75 years old so my learning curve has a longer arch....having said that, I would like to see a close up of the alphabet. I'm not seeing clearly some of the letters: PQM. It would also help to see the signs that have movement to be done in slow motion.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We just wanted to let you know that each of the Rocket Sign Language videos have both the option to slow to half-speed, and also to increase the video size to full-screen. We will email you with a screenshot of where to find these two options.
