FUNCTIONAL ASL
"Hearing people can learn sign language. Deaf people cannot learn how to hear."
Loni Friedmann
Functional ASL is taught by Loni- a DeafBlind Queer female with years of experience in teaching American Sign Language(ASL) in all levels. This is your opportunity to learn ASL online and to learn how to interact with Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing people. All classes will cover with ASL, Deaf Culture, Deaf History, & issues in the Deaf community. You cannot learn ASL overnight, learning a visual language takes time, dedication, and patience.

My dad and I actually just got accepted into an ASL interpreter program at the local college so thanks to Loni; we both are going back to school!
Loni is a fantastic teacher. She provides clear instruction and great materials to learn from and practice throughout the course. With her patience and enthusiasm I have learned how to have a basic conversation and introduce myself in just six weeks!
Loni creates an encouraging and approachable environment and it's instantly noticeable the second class starts. . . I am proudly a slow learner yet sometimes worry I won't be able to keep up... it hasn't been an issue!
