I'm learning ASL and I just got to the numbers part- I was shocked to see that numbers 1-5 are wrong! Numbers 1-5 are always signed with the palm facing in, not out. If they got something so simple wrong, it makes me a little worried about how much they really know the language. Was this course designed by hearing or Deaf people?
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Eileen - Thanks for your review! I just thought that I would let one of our Sign Language experts respond... "While it is true that simply counting the cardinal numbers 1-5 in ASL the numbers are done with the palm facing in, for most practical uses of the numbers in daily communication the palm faces out - for that reason they are shown this way in the lesson. For example, if you were to tell the time you would not sign 2:05 as "time 2:05" with your palm facing in - it would face out. Another example would be a phone number - no matter which number 1-9 ,the palm always faces out. Really, there are many different deep language rules connected with number usage - for example how you count days, weeks and months - which will be introduced and explained in later lessons. Some of team who contributed to this course grew up using ASL to communicate, others attended ITP programs and are RID certified, while others have been educators in the Deaf community for nearly 20 years. Thanks to this feedback we can make some adjustments to the lesson to explain clearly why we are showing the numbers this way." So Eileen, thanks for your feedback. We will change it to make it clearer!
Am very spasmodic with my lessons but they are so easy to continue on from. Very well set up, good lesson structure, good activities. Great program. I WILL FINISH THIS!!!
Tanoshi and omoshiroi! I enjoy doing the lessons since I can hear the sound and tone of the language and see the written forms. Learning is easy when I can repeat things as much as I want to get the right pronunciation and tone. The culture lessons are extremely helpful to know the context of the words and phrases that I am learning.
This one the best way to learn Deutsch as it has plenty interactions to practice each lesson.

A focused and effective way of learning French, away from but feeling close to France.
This interactive course has by far helped me enjoy the learning process so much more than I expected. It has a great approach towards the beginners and j'adore apprendre le français.
Rocket Languages is absolutely amazing, this course offers so many languages that you can learn and benefit from. If you want to learn a different language this is a ideal place to start. Thank you.
This course is fantastic. It also helps to appreciate the language by being taught about the culture of Japan, and the way the language is used in modern day colloquial situations.
