I’m taking an ASL class right now at my school! I’m so excited to be learning about it!!

[basicallyburningco.]

ATTENTION EVERYBODY make sure you don’t sign “meet” wrong.. the two hands are classifiers for people, so if your people are laying on top of each other it means something very very very different.

“Thank you” and “Good” are 2 different signs, When signing “Thank you” you start with your finger tips on your chin then bring your hand foward and down so your finger tips are pointing infront of you with your plam facing up (She signed “Thank you” right) When signing “Good” You start off the same as thankyou but when you bring your hand foward and down you would have your other hand palm up and your beginning hand touches the finger tips of your other hand. (Sorry im not that good at explaining)

[calmncool]

good and thank you are not the same sign.they have different movements. 🙄 thank you goes out forward. good moves downward.

Also, glad I came across this! I took ASL classes in college but I've forgotten a lot of it because it was something like 12-15 years ago and I'm not immersed in the Deaf community, (funny enough, "forgot all" is one sign I never forgot 🤣) but my 4 year old is Autistic (as am I, I've discovered lol), and his speech therapist suggested sign language as a way to help him as he learns to speak, plus just in general knowing sign language would be a big help for both of us when either of us experience periods of situational mutism and/or to reduce talking demands during burn-out recovery.

ASL is so interesting to me. I want to learn it and teach a little to my friends. Also one of my favorite book characters uses ASL so thats what got me interested 😅

One correction, the sign good” is using one hand to start the thank you sign but stopping it with the other hand (I didn’t explain it well but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube). And to sign thank you you don’t use 2 hands and move your hand further down if that makes sense (once again if that didn’t make sense you can just search, “how to sign thank you?” Or, “how to sign good?” It should show you exactly how to do it)

[waynecampbell]

[antoniomartinez]

I love that I found this. I took a class in American Sign Language (ASL) when I was in college back in early 2000 & I've also bought several books DVD's & Flash Cards to learn how to speak in Sign Language (ASL) & I practice in church ⛪ during Praise & Worship time too 👍🤟🙏

[jvrock]

I started to sign "my name is Leslie" and when I got to fingerspelling my name, for some odd reason my hand tried to do my ring finger for the "i" instead of my pinky 🤣. Aaaand what makes it even funnier to me is that as a teenager, me and my brother and sisters' group of friends from the church youth group, decided that the ring finger standing alone should mean "🤬probe you!!" It became our church-kid-friendly version of the middle finger 🙄🤣

I just subbed, please don't stop posting and make a longer video if you can (I really would appreciate it). I really want to learn sign language, started studying Special Education, and the teachers here in Africa aren't doing a great Job, and I can hardly keep myself in school don't have funds to pay for online classes, found your channel and so far I'm learning whatever I can, been great so far, thanks.

[michellef]

I almost felt emotions but then see your hearing to Deaf kids. Thank you for sharing with us.

[AtlanticTTracon]

When doing good with one hand I've always done it at an angle / to the side to differentiate. Or just do it with 2 hands when available.

[GhostFuer]

I am starting High school and I will watch your videos so I can learn

[STAREDITINGG]

Good is when you put your hand in front and then do you thank you, but put your hand not facing the front down on the other hand

[FamilyFreak-]

JeLlO tHeRe.
So to say “ Hi my name is “ you put your hand on the side of your head and slide it away from your head once or twice, ofc you know it’s for “ Hello”
For “ my” you put your hand on your chest, then the name sign, ThEn finger spell your name.
