Material Detail

This is a collection of resources from the MIT ASL and Deaf Culture Club.

There are many resources for learning ASL online. As a beginning ASL student, it's not obvious which resources are reliable or not. In particular, there are many videos made by beginning signers (typically hearing ASL students) that in many cases do not model ASL as it is used by most Deaf people. Furthermore, many examples of "ASL" are heavily influenced by English and related sign systems / languages such as Signed Exact English and Pidgin Signed English.
