  What a great intro to sign language (ASL) and Deaf Culture. After seeing so much signing on all the updates of the last couple of years, not to mention movies like SOUND OF METAL AND CODA; we gained real admiration of this means of communication. Lori made the class interactive and we practiced letters, numbers, and simple phrases with the appropriate facial expressions and body gestures.

  Great class! Lori is very helpful and encouraging. This was a great low stakes opportunity to get acquainted with the basics of ASL without worrying that I looked silly. Handouts and additional resources are provided, and after taking this class am definitely interested in learning more on my own!

  Fun learning experience in a solid 90 minutes. Six students/one teacher. Lori is a creative and engaging teacher. The basic ASL I learned was interesting, useful, and easy to retain. I could ask questions and follow along promptly with each lesson segment. Simple flyer for reference used at class and as a take-away. Highly recommended.

  Such a great experience! Lori's passion for the language, knowledge and her fun approach to learning made this hands-on (pun intended...) experience really rewarding. I enjoyed refreshing myself on the alphabet and learning some conversational phrases. We still practice the Katy Perry song we learned all the time!

  I attended an Intro to ASL class through dabble this weekend and had a very positive experience. The class was an hour and a half long so there was only so much we could learn, of course. The instructor was super personable, very organized, prepared, and knowledgeable on the subject. She managed class time well and kept participants engaged the entire time. She really made sure we were all involved and active and practicing what we learned. I hope to take another class soon.

  Lori is a doll. She is clearly enthusiastic about the subject and gave us a lot of info in 90 minutes. The studio is right next to the train so if the sound of train annoys you that might be a problem. I am a public transit girl myself so that just meant that it was easy to get to! This is a great little intro and she is the perfect person to provide it.

Everyone else in the class walked in just as clueless as I did, so we were all learning together (which is nice, you never want to be the person who is way behind the rest of the class!)
