Class Highlights

"When Meredith turned off her voice to ask us questions, to tell stories, etc., and I could understand what she was signing, it was such an awesome feeling, and it made it clear just how much I've learned through all three courses."

About Your Teachers

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. She continues her interpreting practice by serving at her church. Her current full time employment is as a secondary ASL teacher and adjunct professor.

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.

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.)

Testimonials

The LHTS team completely blew my mind in the ASL301 class! This class really helped me to learn more signs, structure and culture. I love how it built my ASL vocabulary. My focus and signing ability were improved tremendously by taking ASL301. My deaf friend even commented that my signing is better. I am able to hold conversations longer now because of what ASL 301 taught me. I highly recommend it!

In the 301 course, we talked about being "lifelong learners" of ASL. I believe that all of us who completed 301 are truly inspired to be such learners. The 101 and 201 courses put skills into place that you can really see coalesce within 301. When Meredith turned off her voice to ask us questions, to tell stories, etc., and I could understand what she was signing, it was such an awesome feeling, and it made it clear just how much I've learned through all three intensive courses. I have a wonderfully long road ahead of me to continue to learn ASL, but I can happily state that I am capable of communicating in ASL because of these courses. And beyond the tangible skills I have learned, Meredith, Sarah, and Darla take such care to foster positivity, build a community, and engender a true appreciation for deaf culture.

I’ve been learning ASL for almost two years now and have had many classes with many different teachers. Meredith’s teaching on Classifiers is the clearest and most organized among all of the teachers I have had, deaf or hearing. It could be an easily overwhelming subject but the way Meredith breaks it down and leads you from simple to complex really helps a student understand the realm of classifiers.

LHTS makes learning ASL fun and interesting. Not only are you learning the signs, but you learn about the history and culture of this language. I truly appreciate Meredith, Darla, and Sarah creating this wonderful learning experience!

At this time you are required to be a LHTS Accelerated member.
Yes! Throughout the course there are quizzes to check your understanding before moving on to the next lesson. There is also a test at the end of each of the 6 parts. Homework is done through Flip and instructions are within the course itself.
This is a self-paced course, so it's impossible to say, but we estimate that it will take about 18 hours spread out over several days or weeks to complete.
You receive a certificate by completing each of the lessons in the course. Once you've completed the last lesson you'll receive your certificate. In order to complete a quiz or test you'll need to receive a grade of at least 70%. You can access your certificates in the certificate section in the side menu on the left side of your screen.
