ASLdeafined

ASLdefined is a website that provides video-based classes at a minimal cost. The platform's annual subscription costs only $36 and gives you access to a variety of classes, quizzes, and retention exercises. There's also an app you may use, though we found it challenging to hold a smartphone and sign with one hand at the same time as novices, so it's probably best used as a "refresher" tool.

There were a few elements on the site that we believed were lacking. We couldn't be sure we were signing correctly without any interactive feedback. There's also no way to slow down video playback, which might be aggravating if you're having trouble catching something the first time around. It's rarely a problem because the majority of the videos on the website are fairly clear, but when it does happen, it might stymie your progress. Furthermore, we didn't find any information that addressed any aspects of deaf culture or analyzed the complexities of signing that would show us how to be "active listeners" in talks.

The platform offers a free trial, which is a wonderful way to try it out before committing to a membership. If you find it's a good fit for your learning style, you won't have to spend a lot of money to continue using it.
