ABOUT THE LEVEL 1A COURSE

This beginner’s course is tailored for individuals ranging from complete novices to those with moderate experience in ASL. It is the first of two beginner’s courses that focus on building a strong foundation in American Sign Language. The course is conducted completely “voice off” online, and it covers basic ASL grammar structure, the alphabet, and handshapes, numbers, ASL parameters, introductions, school-related signs, colors, family, relationships, living situations and more. By the end of the course, students will be able to comprehend ASL grammar and develop their receptive and expressive skills.

Adults and youth ages 16 and up are eligible to register for our online classes.

The class will be conducted online via Zoom for a total of eight (8) weeks, with a weekly two-hour session led by your instructor. To ensure each student receives individual attention, there is a strict limit of 14 students per section. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. 

You have the option to register for a single course (Level 1A) for $195 plus tax or a package deal that includes both Level 1A and Level 1B (which will be offered in September 2025) for $370, which is $20 off the combined individual course fees, plus tax.

To accommodate your financial needs, a payment plan is available, allowing payment in two installments. To arrange this, please contact jasegervase@aslpinnacle.com, and a suitable payment plan can be set up. The first installment is due upon registration, and the second payment must be completed by the deadline below to register.
