Master ASL and Fingerspelling with Individual or
Two-Player Quizzes
Click into the Skills module to play single or paired Concentration
games and quizzes. You'll be able to practice what you've learned, find
out what needs more work, or take refresher tests when you've learned
this month's new, downloaded signs.
Build Your Vocabulary in the ASL Dictionary
Practice more than 2600 signs with video demonstrations and
illustrations, then listen to audio explanations or read the
descriptions on-screen. Watch the videos once, or set them for
automatic repeat. You can also use the VCR-like controls to rewind,
move forward, or enlarge the video window. Progress through the signs
by subjects like Arts and Entertainment, Business, Expressions, and
even personal categories you can add.
Discover Fingerspelling
Go beyond ASL to learn the helpful skill of fingerspelling. Click on a
letter of the alphabet to learn how to fingerspell words starting with
that letter, or choose whole phrases. See the signs that make up a
whole word or phrase on-screen together, then print the screen for
practice away from the computer.
