What ASL Bloom does

ASL Bloom is an app for learning American Sign Language from scratch. It has 23 modules with over 120 video lessons and more than 1,300 signs and sentences, plus fingerspelling practice, a visual dictionary and quizzes. You can start a few new lessons free each day.

23 modules and over 120 video lessons
More than 1,300 signs and sentences
Fingerspelling practice
Visual dictionary with slow motion
Quizzes and review rounds
Deaf culture and etiquette lessons

Lessons are short videos of signs and sentences, followed by quick games and quizzes. A visual dictionary with slow motion lets you check a sign whenever you need it, and fingerspelling drills help with names and new words. Regular review rounds bring back older signs.

Beyond vocabulary, the course covers ASL grammar and Deaf culture and etiquette. The app says it's built for kids, adults, parents of deaf children and professionals, and it lists AI-based skill checks among its features.

The free plan limits how many new lessons you can start each day, which is fine for a slow, steady habit. Premium removes the limit. It's a good pick if you want a clear path through ASL and like small daily steps.
