Learn Sign Language: Lesson 01 (ASL)

ASL (American Sign Language). Learn ASL by immersion. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can start having real conversations in ASL. Dr. Bill Vicars (Deaf) of "ASL University" will teach you ASL using his innovative and interactive question-based approach. In this video he teaches basic ASL to “Jen” -- an actual beginner who only knows the ABC’s.
