ONLINE ASL CLASSES NOW AVAILABLE!
Take compressed, hardcore, American Sign Language courses with us online without leaving the comfort of your own home anywhere in the world!  These classes are as intensive and as demanding as any in-person course. You will be able to choose between a variety of ASL and Deaf Culture courses and these online classes are the same kind of certified and proven teaching method students and/or staff have taken in person at New York University, Montclair State University, the College of New Rochelle, LaGuardia College, Lehman College, Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and the Hotel Macklowe. 

Janna M. Sweenie, M.A. and David W. Boles, M.F.A. are your Hardcore ASL instructors!

We are pleased to announce our next book on American Sign Language is called Picture Yourself Learning American Sign Language, Level 1.

You can now buy the book right now from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble and your local bookstore.

You will learn 90 words and then create over 27,000 ASL phrases using our new "Pick and Say Rubric."

The ASL language book is full-color on every glossy printed page.

The book is published by Thomson/Cengage Learning and we can't wait for you to read it and watch the Bonus DVD bundled with the book!

The book will be available in bookstores everywhere and for purchase online in February 2008.

Hardcore ASL is where the inspired Janna M. Sweenie, MA and the polymathic David W. Boles, MFA teach American Sign Language to the strictest standards based on the genesis of the language. 

Hardcore ASL uses a methodology for teaching that will bring a return to the hardcore basics of American Sign Language.

We are not an interpreting service though we do provide support for interpreters and interpreter issues.

Bad Baby Signs: Words No Infant Should Know! is our latest project-in-progress where you will find a laugh and a guffaw on every page.

Join us as we take a irreverent, in-depth, look at the wacky Baby Signs phenomenon and we set the whole cultural industry of "mini-ASL" on its bouncing baby head!

We are thrilled to announce we have a private study American Sign Language program at Boles University! 

Here's a free online sample of how we teach Hardcore ASL in our books, workshops, in person and online: "Gosh, I found a bug in my soup, take it back!"
