We are pulling out all the stops for the final course in our Main ASL Curriculum. In ASL 401, you will receive voice off instruction covering the areas of storytelling by incorporating the past three courses of vocabulary as well as new vocabulary, a deep dive into ASL idioms, uses for mouth morphemes, and challenging your fingerspelling and numbers expressive and receptive skills. The last class students will have a “Final Exam”. Students will sign a story of their choice for 5 minutes or so and receive instructor feedback.
We recommend that students have taken ASL 101, 201 and 301 before participating in this course. The majority of this course will be voice off and feature many opportunities for students to use ASL expressively.

Meredith has over 20 years of ASL second language experience. She holds a M.Ed. in Special Education with an emphasis in Deaf and Hard of Hearing and B.A. in ASL to English Interpretation. She is a nationally certified education interpreter and state certified ASL Teacher.
Meredith began her career as a full time educational interpreter while taking on community interpreting assignments (doctors appointments, job interviews, etc) after school and on weekends.

Meredith and her husband, Brian, rebranded their family YouTube channel in October of 2020 to Learn How to Sign. Within the past year and a half they have grown to a community of nearly 500k subscribers of ASL learners and are excited about what the future holds for Learn How to Sign.

Meredith Rathbone
Asl Teacher/Interpreter
Sarah became Deaf at the age of 4 after contracting spinal meningitis. In 1994, she graduated from Texas Christian University with a BA in Deaf Education and then in 1998 received her master’s in school counseling. She spent 5 years in the classroom as a middle school Deaf Education Teacher and 3 years as a School Counselor for the Deaf K-12. She left education to be a stay-at-home mom but returned in 2015 to teach American Sign Language at the secondary level. Sarah has a passion for teaching ASL and sharing her experience as a Deaf person.
She would like her students to be open to ask her anything about ASL and being Deaf. No question is unusual. Part of learning about ASL is learning what it is like to be Deaf so don’t hesitate to ask her anything.

Darla is the perfect representation of “it's never too late to learn something new”. She went back to college in her late 30s to take a step of faith in learning a new language and profession. After her first community class she was hooked and knew this was where she was meant to be and what she was meant to do.
Darla has been a sign language interpreter for 22 years holding her state’s highest interpreting certification and national certification in educational interpreting. She has interpreted in a variety of settings including community, video relay, educational and religious. Darla brings a unique perspective with her years of expertise and variety of settings she has worked in.
Personally, Darla has been married for 39 years and LOVES to travel. She would like to share, she has two beautiful daughters, Meredith and Hilary, and three amazing grandchildren. (Editor's note: And yes, that Meredith is me. She blessed me with one of the greatest gifts, ASL.)

With the help of LHTS, I can carry on a half-hour conversation with a deaf person in ASL with relative ease and feeling like I still have a lot more to talk about. Learning new signs feels much easier because I've built a good foundation.

The entire LHTS Team proved to me that I can learn ASL and be confident in my abilities to communicate.

Now that I have finished 101-401, I am a different person. The course structure has good pace through quizzes, grammar, finger spelling, real life experience, and deaf culture. Having three instructors also gives the courses multiple perspectives and more importantly, signing styles.
If you happen to be a hearing parent of a deaf child, start here. Trust me, your life will only change for the better. I feel nothing but gratitude in my heart.
Beiliang Z
Thank you for such an amazing course with so much growth. You created a safe place where as students we could test our skills and really grow. My confidence grew with just the right amount of pushing me outside my comfort zone. I loved the voice-off instruction as well. My favorite part was learning more about my classmates through their stories.
