Why this exists

Deaf culture is everywhere. But no one teaches it.

CODA won Best Picture. Lauren Ridloff joined the MCU. Interest is at an all-time high. Resources are not.

90%

Deaf children are born to hearing families.

Most parents have never met a Deaf adult before. We're the map.

5M+

Hearing people now live with a Deaf person.

Spouses, siblings, coworkers, teachers. Everyone benefits.

Other apps doing this.

ASL apps teach signs. We teach culture. Built by Deaf people.

Questions

Common questions, honest answers.

Do I need to know any sign language to start?
No. This app teaches Deaf culture, history, identity, and how Deaf people live, not ASL itself. You'll learn about ASL as a language and how to respect it, but you don't need to sign anything to take the lessons.
Who is this for?
Parents of newly-diagnosed Deaf children. Hearing partners of Deaf adults. ASL students at any level. Healthcare workers, teachers, social workers, and lawyers serving Deaf clients. Late-deafened adults exploring identity. And anyone curious about Deaf culture after CODA, Eternals, or a TikTok creator caught their attention.
How long does each lesson take?
Three to five minutes. Each lesson has a few short cards followed by one quick comprehension question. The whole point is fitting learning into the cracks of your day.
Is this for Deaf people too?
Absolutely. Many Deaf people who didn't grow up in the Deaf community use this to fill in cultural and historical context they missed.
What does Premium get me?
All 250 lessons unlocked. Without Premium, you get 25 free lessons. Premium also gives you streak tracking, progress saving, and access to new lessons as we add them.
How do you decide what to teach?
The curriculum is built and reviewed by Deaf educators. Where the community is divided on a topic, we present multiple perspectives honestly.
