    Very good.I entered this course knowing absolutely nothing beyond the alphabet, and I’m walking away feeling confident in basic conversation. The instructor did a fantastic job of explaining the hand shapes and the importance of facial expressions, which I didn't realize were so vital to the grammar. The videos were high-quality and easy to follow. My only wish is that there were more practice prompts for receptive skills (understanding others signing back), but as a foundation, it’s unbeatable.
