Continue your journey through the vibrant worlds of EARth and EYEth. It’s time to take your American Sign Language skills to the next level! In this course, you’ll meet three friends: Rebecca, Erica, and Benjamin (who is Deaf), as they navigate their first year of high school. You'll follow their daily adventures. Along the way, you will learn to express your routines, sign about your family, give a review of a restaurant, tell about your healthy habits, and talk about your weekend getaways and your dream vacation.
