You also might have seen her on the most recent Super Bowl LVI, performing the National Anthem and America the Beautiful on live TV using American Sign Language. Pretty cool!! In this course, Sandra introduces the basic fundamentals of ASL in a structured and exciting format. Her teaching style is lively and engaging which makes learning fun and easy.
