American Sign Language: Culture and Conversation Level 1 is the first step in a student’s journey to learn American Sign Language (ASL). It is an online, interactive, turn-key course package that provides students with useful information, resources, and some practice opportunities to guide them along the way.
Students are encouraged to go out and interact with the Deaf community. There is no better way to learn a language and respect for a culture than to dive right in with the people who live it!

Miranda Slusser is a graduate of Flagler College, in St Augustine, Florida having earned both her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Deaf education, with a focus on teaching American Sign Language.
Before she became a professor of ASL at the University of Lynchburg, she served as an itinerant teacher of the Deaf and hard of hearing for five years. That is where she refined her philosophy of teaching ASL. She believes that language learning should be interactive, reflecting the most up to date cultural and linguistic trends.
