The Nonverbal Group

What if you could pick up American Sign Language tomorrow? The Nonverbal Group runs intensive courses that skip the textbooks and get you signing in days, not months. Their continuing-ed classes meet weeknights on the Upper West Side—250 West 84th Street, between Broadway and West End. If you’ve ever wanted to chat silently across the dinner table, they’ll get you started with clear, no-frills lessons.

The adult ed catalog covers everything from basic ASL vocabulary to advanced storytelling techniques—no prior knowledge required. Weekend workshops dive into topics like Deaf culture and interpreting; weekday evening sessions fit around busy schedules. Whether you’re brushing up on facial expressions or drilling finger-spelling accuracy, each course stays focused on practical communication.

Questions about upcoming sections pop up often, so save the line: *212-380-7944*. Registration usually opens a month ahead, and spots fill fastest for beginner tracks. They post updates on their site, but the phone keeps you ahead of the curve.

Need directions? A quick map search drops you right at the corner of 84th and West 250. The building’s lobby is straightforward; once inside, you’ll find the classroom tucked toward the back elevators.
