Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, private ASL classes can be arranged. Please contact us directly for more information.

There is a no-voice policy. This teaching method is used to reinforce the learning experience and to give respect to the Deaf ASL instructor.

The live virtual sessions are 1 hour in length.

Please email us in advance if you know you will be away, so we can attempt to make alternate arrangements. If something comes up last minute, unfortunately you will miss that day unless the instructor has made alternate days available.

The assessment is designed to measure how much of the course work was retained, as well as the student's proficiency in ASL.

These classes are non-credit level, and are thus not transferable to any learning or academic institutions. They are simply community classes in basic conversational American Sign Language.

Congratulations! Feel free to review and practice skills acquired, in preparation for the live classes and/or assessment.

You will start learning ASL once you join our first class, but like any other language, it will take time to become fluent. It all depends on your motivation, determination, and willingness to immerse yourself in the language and culture.

Students' access to the program will expire after the course is completed.

You will receive a certificate once you've completed all 3 levels of our course. Keep in mind, that this certificate does NOT qualify/ certify you to be an interpreter, teach ASL, or earn professional development/ continuing education hours.

No refunds will be given after the start date of the classes. If you've paid for the class in advance, a 40% refund will be returned. Under extreme circumstances, if Sign With Me is unable to render services, students will receive a full refund.

Refraining from using your voice maximizes your learning of American Sign Language; a visual language with its own grammar. Speaking during class is prohibited. Speaking in the presence of a Deaf person ( your instructor) is considered rude and insensitive. Hearing other voices, ( even whispering ) can be very distracting to students trying to learn. Writing in the chat section on zoom, is the alternative way to communicate with the instructor if you are unsure of the correct signs.

Cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off during class. Texting or using cellphones during class time is discouraged. It’s important to mute your mics once entering the zoom meeting for less distractions.

Students who desire to cancel: send us an email so we are able to notify the instructor.
