InterSign ASL - Learn Now! Reviews

by SJMM93

I already know quite a lot of ASL, but somebody told me that they were using InterSignASL to learn so I checked it out. Besides they’re not being very many levels, I could not pass most of these exams on the first try. Many of the signs may have been regional, but a lot were just inaccurate. Also a huge part of ASL is facial expression and the man in these videos has no facial expressions. Often they would ask for you to translate a sentence into English grammar, in which case many versions of those same words in English grammar would make sense, but only one way would be accepted. Other times it would be the opposite and they would want you to put an English sentence into ASL grammar, but the acceptable answer was not true ASL grammar. The woman also mouthed along to her sentences, which isn’t best practice anyway, but wasn’t always saying what she signed. A lot of the signs I could figure out, but were awkward, slightly off, or turned the wrong way. Some examples of troublesome signs were many numbers, brother, and none.

It was alright, I guess. I am just in the ABC portion, but I already have some things that you’ll be fixed.

1: To be honest, I feel like when learning ASL it should be taught in order. InterSignASL teaches it out of order and I don’t really like it.

2: Some of the signings were inaccurate and hard to figure out because of things like fingers not being down far enough or not spread apart enough. This can be confused with other signs.

I appreciate that InterSignASL uses ads to keep this high quality app completely free to use. However, the placement of the “x” to exit most of the ads and return to the lessons in InterSignASL are inaccessible on my (iPhone 13 mini) screen, making it necessary for me to close InterSignASL after each lesson. This makes me less inclined to continue using InterSignASL, even though I’d like to.

I’m just starting out, and so far InterSignASL is really nice. I wouldn’t mind the ads if I could actually close them when they finish. The “x” to close is under my battery indicator, and it doesn’t seem to register when I click. It’s cumbersome to have to restart InterSignASL after every ad.

I know some basic ASL but want to keep learning and improving so I downloaded InterSignASL. I like that it allows you to test out if sections so you’re not going through lessons on things you already know. The pictures and videos used in InterSignASL are clear. InterSignASL itself is very easy to use and understand.

InterSignASL is the best free ASL app I have seen so far. I practice every night and when I have free time to do so. Im so very happy with how much I have been able to learn.

I do notice that some signs are mixed or different. Ive seen a few reviews mention the same thing. Like how berry is the same sign for strawberry, but in tests they give you both answers and you need to guess which one it actually meant.

But my big big issue. My profile is at LV 11, and I just started the LV 3, Verbs 1.

At the Lesson 2, you need to pick the signs to say “I want to eat an apple”. Thats easy right? I learned all those signs. I know how to talk about my want to eat apples. Easy easy.

But somehow, every combination of “I” “want” “eat” and “apple” is wrong.

Maybe its “YOU want to eat an apple”? No. “Pineapple”? Nope. “Apple” “eat” “i “want”? Nada.

I cannot talk about wanting to eat apples apparently. Every answer is wrong.

“Grapes” maybe? Was there a mistype and I want to eat grapes? No! “Water”??? NOPE!!

I will forever be stuck because I don’t know how to say I want to eat apples. Is it me? Am I mixing up the words and Im just a silly dork? Or is there an issue with this level.

I have re-tried LV 3 Lesson 2 manyyy many times. I am wrong every time. I am so very sad. I want to eat an apple. And I want to finish these lessons. Im stuck and I need assistance. Help. Please. Let me eat apples.

The glossary isn’t as expansive as I would’ve hoped, not a big deal at all and there’s so much for free it’s great. InterSignASL it self is fantastic from what I can tell. I’m picking up ASL as a hobby and this is perfect for. My big issue though is that on my IPhone when I have music playing if I get a question right it pauses my music to play the noise and I have to manually resume it. So if the devs could figure something out with that, maybe an option to turn of the sound idk, InterSignASL would be perfect.

I looked for a long time for a quality and truly free ASL app and this is it. It has ads so you don’t have to pay for a premium version AND there aren’t an annoying amount of ads. The only reason I didn’t give InterSignASL five stars is because of the conformation button you have to click when answering questions (which isn’t that big of a deal). InterSignASL format reminds me a lot of duolingo, which is a language app I love, but it unfortunately does not have ASL. If you like duo and want a free app this is the one to get.

by Dbeggs#1

Overall InterSignASL is pretty good. It’s free so it’s for me. And you can’t really expect much from a free app. I have only a few concerns tho. The dictionary is very limited to thongs taught in the lessons. However there are a few signs that you don’t learn in app that you are quizzed on that are also not in the dictionary. Also I ran into an issue with a word being wrong and there was no way to send up the error. Example, the sentence was, the cherry is mine. When I put that in I was told I was wrong and the correct word was strawberry. When I went back to my lessons, I was right. But there is no way, again, to ask for the correction. Lastly I would like for InterSignASL to be updated so I can learn more.

I’ve been trying to learn ASL for sometime now and found that videos weren’t working. After spending a while looking for A free app I found this one, not only is it completely free the platform its self makes it easy to learn and remember. And I greatly appreciate that it doesn’t ask for payment after the first or second lesson it is 100% free other than some short ads.

by Katlynferguson

App starts with the alphabet and gives you little quizzes to help you learn. I love that is it free, the ads are worth it, they are not sporadic or interrupt anything important. Really great app and I look forward to the next levels available! Keep it up app developers! I really admire your language and I wanted to learn it to be a better teacher. It’s beautiful and worth the time and effort.

by Reese O Beast

I’ve always wanted to learn ASL, but all the apps I got to learn ASL wanted me to pay for it. InterSignASL is free! It starts with the alphabet first! Then fruits or vegetables, that’s how far I have gotten so far! Yes every leasing you do you have to watch a ad but still!

As I continue to learn I may make friends in the future who are deaf, and I can communicate with them a little bit! (I’m still learning)

by BrieWry

I have downloaded just about every ASL learning app and this is the first to be COMPLETELY free to learn as much as I want and to look and glossary’s and dictionaries at any point. I completely there aren’t more reviews and downloads - I will be recommending this to all my friends. Thank you for giving people the opportunity to learn another language completely free!

by Mo13626

InterSignASL is perfect for people just starting out learning signs. I know a lot of the basics and everything is very self-explanatory and a great way of picking things up. I also love how they have a warning before an ad and let you know that it’s only to improve InterSignASL itself. Whoever created this knew what he was doing!

by Annablela

As someone who doesn’t have time for real classes in ASL, this is by far the best option. I assumed it would be like all the other ASL apps (pay to learn, boring, animated pictures) InterSignASL is THE BEST!! Ads are annoying, but so worth it. Best app I’ve gotten. Really helps with learning to READ ASL not just be able to sign.

by Whyrtherenoavailablenames

Just started InterSignASL today and I had no experience in ASL and didn’t know what to expect. So far it has been very easy to use and broke. Down into practical units that have helped me to learn and see the basics and build upon them.

I wanted to learn ASL but it was hard to find an app that didn’t charge after teaching two or three words. InterSignASL is free and only had a few adds! It teaches slow enough to make sure you understand, but fast enough to feel like your making progress. It has both clip art and actual people to show you how to sign. You can also make public posts, look at a dictionary and glossary, even learn about the teachers on InterSignASL . InterSignASL makes sure that you understand and goes back to redo things you got wrong, you can even go back to any past lesson. I’ve been using this for a day and have already been able to almost memorize the entire alphabet thanks to InterSignASL! I would HIGHLY recommend if you want to learn sign language for free.

by RandomPersonEatingChips

InterSignASL excels in it's ability to teach and has helped greatly in my personal learning. my only request would be more content, granted this is a free app and covers a lot of ground. overall, if you're just getting into asl, this is InterSignASL for you.

by Hi_there6492

I’ve been looking for an ASL app for a long time, and this one definitely checks all the boxes. I started using it today as a total beginner and I already know the whole sign alphabet and can sign simple phrases. Plus, it’s completely free, and the ads are between the lessons so they’re not interrupting your learning. I love that each lesson builds upon previous ones so you don’t immediately forget the words you just learned. Really useful app!

by Abbeyie

I work at Starbucks, and this lovely deaf couple comes in every so often and I decided to learn ASL so I could connect with them better. I always wanted to learn, but I didn’t have anyone to speak to, but now I have the inspiration to learn. So far, I like InterSignASL a lot. I don’t like ads, but I understand the necessity. It’s free, unlike the first app I downloaded and inevitably deleted. I hope to continue working to learn so I could improve that wonderful couples day :)

by Tiddy Wrangler

I’ve spent more time re-downloading and uninstalling InterSignASL, trying to get it to even pop up with a menu screen, than actually learning sign language. I’d be able to give more stars if, yanno, InterSignASL actually worked. thanks.

by Youngclutchfromthe6

This is not InterSignASL to get if trying to learn fluent ASL. Some of the syntax questions are simply incorrect! It’s a shame this is one of the only apps that teach you ASL for completely free, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Cual es la razón?

by Mrskoolchatt

The sound that plays when you answer a question correctly doesn’t respond to turning the volume down on my phone. So, I wanted to work on my lesson in a waiting room, but the constant tone was disruptive to others.

by Missmandamay

I love that it reviews previously learned lessons as you progress.

by Necedus

You can tell the person who made this worked hard and it’s amazing!!! I love how they don’t make you pay for something that helps better the world.

I started learning a few hours ago and in under and hour I already learned basketball and book I really recommend it

by Txbybees

Easy to use, understand & fun

by Hunneybeezz

It’s just like duolingo but for asl. It has Ads but you get more info without paying extra. A few other apps I’ve downloaded I can only get to the first lesson before they start asking me to pay for the next.

by Doux48ogexb

Tbh this is the best asl app I've found its great

by Batmanfangurl

InterSignASL works very similarly to popular language apps like Duolingo, but purely for Sign Language. So far, there has not been a pay wall, and while the learning is fairly rudimentary, InterSignASL is very good for early sign language learners or people looking to refresh their knowledge!

by Pineconeing

Honestly it’s not much but it is a great app :)

by Yesyesyestovbs

Great
