American Sign Language questions, answered
Is ASL just English on the hands?
No. ASL is its own language with grammar and word order distinct from English, and facial expressions carry meaning the same way tone does in speech.
Can I really learn a visual language from lessons?
Yes. Learnr teaches the signs, fingerspelling, and grammar step by step, and consistent practice with real signing is what builds fluency.
