"What do you think of your experience in learning ASL?"

"Just finished a beginner level ASL course with ACSD. The instructors were full of humour, incredibly patient, fostered interaction and all around did a great job of introducing me to a new language. I'm already looking forward to next year's session and highly recommend this to anyone interested in improving themselves and supporting deaf culture.  Thank you!"
