Learning a language can feel overwhelming.
There are signs to learn.

Questions to practice.
Fingerspelling.
Facial expressions.
Conversations.

The Challenge gives you the structure and accountability to get started.
Mastery gives you the full learning journey.
Stellar ASL Mastery includes the complete four-level Stellar ASL curriculum, with structured lessons and practice activities designed to take you from your first signs toward intermediate ASL skills.
You'll build skills in:
Everyday Communication
Introductions, family, activities, interests, feelings, locations, directions, health, work, travel, money, and everyday situations.
ASL Grammar
YES/NO questions, WH-questions, sentence structure, classifiers, indexing, number incorporation, tenses, referents, mouth morphemes, and increasingly complex sentences.
Conversation & Storytelling
You'll progress from basic conversations to storytelling, narration, describing situations, giving instructions, comparing and contrasting, and expressing more complex ideas.
Deaf Culture
Explore Deaf culture, history, traditions, community connections, identity, institutions, important figures, ASL poetry, Deaf rights, technology, and community concerns.
Progressive Skill Building
The curriculum is organized into four levels, with 15 in-depth modules in each level, so you always have a structured path forward rather than having to piece your learning together from random resources.

No more searching YouTube for the next thing to learn.
No more jumping between random vocabulary lists.
No more wondering whether you're learning things in the right order.
Stellar ASL gives you a progressive learning plan designed to take you step by step through your ASL journey.
The course uses bite-sized video lessons that teach vocabulary, grammar, and conversational skills.
And you're not simply memorizing isolated signs.
The lessons include practice making sentences so you can begin applying what you're learning to actual communication.
You can work through the lessons when they fit your life and return to them whenever you need more practice.
Your access is long-term, so you don't have to rush through the curriculum.
The course continues to receive new practical content from ASL Socials and Office Hours, giving you additional material to learn from and practice with over time.
A quick-start mini-course designed to take you from your first signs toward your first conversations.

A focused mini-course to help you establish better fingerspelling habits, improve clarity and build speed and comprehension.
These resources are included with the Stellar ASL Mastery offer.

The Mastery course gives you the lessons.
The 30-Day Challenge gives you a reason toย use them.
You'll have:
A clear path through the first four units so you always know what to focus on.
A place to track your practice, complete your weekly challenges, reflect on your progress, and see how far you've come.
Simple opportunities to turn the lessons into actual ASL use.
Come together during the challenge to ask questions, practice, get feedback, and stay accountable.
Instead of saying:
"I really need to get back to my ASL course."
You could be saying:
"I introduced myself in ASL."
"I had a conversation."
"I understood what someone signed."
"I actually used what I've been learning."
That's what these 30 days are about.

Enrollment closes Sunday, October 11 at 11:59 PM Pacific. Join us and start building your ASL with a clear plan, support, and live practice.

You don't need to wait until you have more time.
No. Stellar ASL is designed for complete beginners, so you can start from the beginning.
No. The Challenge is a guided experience built around the Stellar ASL Mastery course. Mastery is your complete ASL curriculum; the Challenge gives you a clear 30-day path for getting started and putting what you learn into practice.
Absolutely not. The 30 days are designed to help you build momentum and establish the habit of using ASL. You keep your long-term access to Mastery and can continue learning at your own pace.
You keep going with Mastery at your own pace. If you want additional opportunities to practice live with other ASL learners, Practice Club is also available as an ongoing option.
That's completely normal. The goal isn't to be perfect before you communicate. The goal is to start using what you're learning, make mistakes, ask questions, and keep improving.
Yes. Stellar ASL provides a completion certificate.
The current Mastery offer provides long-term access, allowing you to revisit the lessons and continue learning at your own pace.
