25 ASL Signs You Need to Know | ASL Basics | American Sign Language for Beginners

These are the first 25 words you need to learn how to sign in American Sign Language (ASL). I believe ASL is for everyone. It's a beautiful language and love the idea of everyone being able to communicate with the deaf. This video is for just that, the first step towards everyone learning ASL. The great news is you don't have to stop after this video. Below you'll not only find the navigation for this video, but also a link to a couple of playlists to keep learning how to sign!

I feel like the schooling system needed to have these classes installed in the curriculum years ago I feel like it would really help everyone

[Havemercyitspercy]

It makes me upset that this isn’t even offered in school.. I would’ve LOVED to take courses.

[drewsbadatgame]

learning this because i’m slowly going deaf, it sucks, but i’m so glad there’s something

[mattfernandez]

Twinking watermeon k-drama brought me here. that drama made me realize the struggle of deaf people and there should be people who must study sign language to communicate with them.

[ellieliebenow]

Me: I'm already learning french, Italian, and Korean
Still me: LEARN SIGN

[cold]

i’ve lost around 50% of my hearing and could lose more, i’ve decided to start learning just in case. it will also just be nice to know in general. thank you for this!

My neighbor came and dropped a package off to me that had mistakenly been delivered to her address.

She's deaf and her eyes LIT UP when I was able to communicate with her in sign, even though it was INCREDIBLY rudimentary and I'm not very good (yet). She understood me and I understood her and it was an incredible experience. Thank you for helping me to have a conversation with my neighbor.

This should seriously be a MANDATORY subject in school. Like instead of teaching us stuff that we might not ever need in the adult world, they should teach us sign language so we can communicate with hearing impaired people. I taught myself how to introduce myself in sign. And I hope to learn more. I loved this video!

[MamaK]

I recently had a deaf customer with two deaf children. I felt so bad that I couldn't sign to her. It made the whole experience very hard for all of us. I came home that evening ready to cry. I want to learn so I can interact with the deaf community in a way that is pleasing for everyone. Thank you for this video!!!

[Maya_Ruinz]

As a complete beginner this is definitely more complex then it seems when you have to take into account many numerous gestures and hand positioning. This is definitely something that needs to be taught on a larger scale, even if its just the basics.

[khan]

Ooooh man I love this language. This language is easy to learn. Sometimes I don't want to talk and just want to be silent. That moment if someone approach me I am going to use the sign language.
I would get relief and enjoyment too.

[brandonsmith]

This video actuially helped me alot. I'm learning for my girlfriend. She isn't deaf but her selective mutism stops her from speaking so she has to sign. I'm mostly just learning to be able to understand her.

[raincheck]

My 18 month old isn’t talking so I taught him the sign “done/finished” so he could tell me he was done eating and wanted out of his highchair. To my surprise he immediately learned it and uses it every time he is done eating. I’m teaching him more signs and he picks them up so quickly. It’s interesting he won’t use verbal language but latched onto signs so fast.

[mythchillajyn]

im here bcs of the kdrama "twinkling watermelon" it made me genuinely want to learn sign language 🍉♡

[chezarose]

I'm learning sign because I'm a caregiver for the disabled. Thanks for this video

[magicalcarrot]

Ah yes i now know how to say “mother please I want dog” in sign language

[ptczote]

If you struggle learning signs quickly, might want to watch this slowed down. It moves quite quickly for people that don’t know any signs yet.

[Loinking]

As a Kindergarten Teacher I love implementing signs in my classroom. My kids love it too, creates a discipline in classroom and during lesson there is no interruptions. Mostly we just love it.
