Instructor Bio: Born to Deaf parents in Danville, Jonah Cline grew up immersed in Deaf culture, becoming fluent in American Sign Language from the age of 3. In his youth, he would teach sign language to his friends as a secret way to communicate with them, but now in his adulthood, he has taken to teaching ASL and educating people about Deaf culture professionally. And he stills teaches it to his friends as a secret way to communicate. Jonah is excited to share the rich, diverse, and unique language of his childhood with you all.
