Experience the Magic of Sign Language Online with Me at SignBee Academy.

At five years old, I was casually introduced to the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet. This early introduction set the stage for what would become a lifelong dedication. Today, my initial curiosity has grown into a deep passion: I'm an interpreter, educator, and fervent advocate for the Deaf community. Although I once considered dentistry as a profession, I was undeniably drawn back to ASL and the inspiring Deaf community.

As an experienced ASL educator and advocate, I'm passionate about helping students learn and communicate effectively. My dedication inspired me to earn degrees in ASL/English Interpretation and Deaf Studies, a Bachelor's from Gallaudet University, and a Master's in Psychology—all with a focus on inclusion and communication access for the Deaf. In 2015, I broadened my impact, teaching ASL on YouTube. Traveling to teach sign language to deaf children in less privileged parts of the world has empowered me to advocate for and continue spreading the love of sign language.

SignBee Academy is my exclusive platform to share all this experience and knowledge directly with you. Here, formal learning meets real-world insights. No matter how you learn best—whether through reading, watching, or hands-on practice—I’ve tailored this program for you. Consider this a safe haven to immerse yourself in the language, with my guidance every step of the way. Discover ASL with me, backed by a lifetime of commitment, and embark on your path to fluency today!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request a refund if I'm not satisfied with the course?

Once you purchase this digital product, it’s yours to keep forever. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the courses as a digital product, refunds are unavailable. In the rare chance that you’re unhappy with your learning program, please reach out to Support at support@signingbees.com. We're here to assist and see how we can help improve your experience!

When does the course start and finish?

The course was designed with you in mind! It is completely self-paced and online that starts and finishes when you're ready.

What's the difference between this and the Late Night Signs YouTube channel?

Late Night Signs was created as a late night platform for those interested in learning one-off signs for fun. Since you wanted more of an understanding on ASL and its structure for conversing, SignBee focuses on exclusive material that is not taught through Late Night Signs on YouTube.

How long do I have access to the course?

After you enroll into SignBee Academy, you'll have unlimited access for as long as you'd like- across any and all devices you may own. We keep the course accessible so you can repeat, replay, or skip around as much as you need until you feel ready to move on to the next.

It provides a structured and an effective way to track your progress by the interactive activities and quizzes to reinforce your memory recall. Enrolling in the course also supports the free content created on YouTube.

Why is there a 'Sign "B" for Beginners' and a 'Sign "B" for Basic Conversations course? Aren't they the same thing?

Great question! Though they both are eCourses teaching basic ASL, they respectively are different from one another since each focus on a specific level of learning. The "B" for Beginners course focuses on the foundations of the language: ABCs, Numbers, hand formation and orientation, etc. While its advanced partner: Sign "B" for Basic Conversations focuses on using the beginner's foundation to start conversing and applying the starter content.

How do I know if I am doing the signs correctly?

Great question! No two signers are alike, so try not to compare yourself with others. Try your best to get an approximation of the signs. SignBee also samples each ASL vocabulary term slowly and individually so you grasp the shape, form, and speed of each sign naturally and at ease.

How often should I login to the course?

We recommend logging into your eCourse everyday for at least 15 minutes a day. The more you log in, the more your mind will continue to exercise the language part of the brain creating habituation, which eventually leads to fluency.

Along with logging in, remember to use what you've learned in the community with Deaf people! They will also model and help you with your signing journey as well.

How long does it take to complete one course?

This is similar to the answer we shared above for the question "How often should I login to the course?" Each student and their learning journey varies. Although we are unable to give definite timeframes on course completion, some of our students have reported learning and seamlessly applying what they’ve learned from the course in as little as 30 days!

SignBee encourages the approach of community learning and application. Though you are able to complete one of our courses in 30 days, we encourage students to take the individual time needed to fully absorb the essence of the language by continuously learning and advancing while out in the Deaf Community.

Why am I not learning ASL fast enough?!

One reason could be how often you practice the language. SignBee can not stress enough how much practice/use makes the language permanent.

Grab a friend or try using the language with a few deaf friends and fully immerse yourself to keep exercising your language cortex of the brain. Remember to make your language learning a daily habit!

Do I have to make those ugly facial expressions when I use ASL?

In short, YES! As ugly and unpleasant as they are, they are a huge part of the language. Remember that since ASL is visual, your facial expression alone can make all the difference in the message you are trying to convey. Without, can cause quite a bit of confusion along the way. The facial expressions are here to stay!

Can I become an interpreter from taking SignBee Academy eCourses?

NO! SignBee was designed for those interested in learning American Sign Language for conversational purposes only. While SignBee can assist with your language foundation, it is not equipped to expound on the interpreting aspect of the language- as learning the language for communication and interpreting the language as a professional are two very different animals.

To become an interpreter, you must attend an accredited community college or college/university which has the proper curriculum crafted to shape you into a well-rounded ASL interpreter.

Can my children learn ASL with me?

ABSOLUTELY! The earlier you start teaching your children a second language, the better! The mind of a child is a terrible thing to waste. Sit them next to you as you learn the foundation and watch their minds soak up this visual language!

SignBee Academy is independently owned, granting me complete freedom from corporate influences. My original content you’re supporting continues to connect others in the community through signed communication.
