I am thoroughly enjoying yet another way to learn ASL. This has been a help and encouragement to me to get motivated to use sign in my daily life. It has also given me hope in using sign as a career.
I love Rocket Languages!!!! keep up the good work :)
The only complaint that i have is that there are no tests or quizzes and that kind of makes me sad because i want to know where i am at at an academic level and i don't know how to do that with out a test or a quiz
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!
I like the format. And I like how you teach good fundamentals.

That's wonderful to hear, Wendy! Our courses are all about supporting learners feel at ease using their target language in real-world situations. Keep up the great work!
Very easy to learn.it doesn’t only teach you signs but the history behind it and ways to practice. This is an amazing resource for learning sign language.

Thank you, Jacqueline! Here at Rocket, learning American Sign Language (ASL) is as much about understanding the culture behind the language as it is about the signs themselves. We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying this element of the course. Keep up the great work!
This has been so great for me! I have enjoyed it very much! Thank you all for butting in the work to make this such a great experience. I have no complaints so far.

Thanks for your review, Alisha! Keep up the great work.
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.
Really good program to improve lost skills. Signing gets lost when not practiced
I am very pleased with this course of learning signing and conversational skills. I particularly enjoy the practice and reinforcement elements.
