I’ve been learning ASL through her and in a week with practice every day I can have a basic conversation with my mute friend. So thank you.

Sign language is so beautiful 🥹 This channel has taught me SO MUCH! I just started learning from your videos a few days ago and I’m SO EXCITED! I recently met a person who’s hard-of-hearing (deaf) and it was such a pleasure to be around her. This was before your videos, so I was only able to communicate with her by pointing in a certain direction (when she asked for water by pointing at her bottle) or telling one another we were going to break by the basic “snapping” gesture, lunch was the “hand to mouth” gesture. But since that day, I’ve wanted to actually START learning the correct and proper way of communicating in ASL, and all I can say is it’s such a beautiful and lovely way of communicating 🥹👏🏼❤️ I wish for everyone to learn ASL 🙏🏼 Talking is overrated!! Lol jk. Thank you so much for sharing!! 👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

Holy moly thank you so much this is awesome!!! I'm not deaf and I don't know anyone deaf but I still wanted to learn and with you i can!! thank you so much!!

[BobbiMac]

I'm really enjoying these videos! I have a high school classmate who I've been telling for the last couple years that I would learn ASL. She is hard of hearing and it's getting worse as we age. I'd love to be able to sign with her when I see her. Thank you!

[davidhardwick]

I love your videos. I work for a fire department and I have seen sign language come in handy when I first started and have always wanted to learn. Your videos are easy to follow and well done. I know you have asked another video about ideas for videos maybe you can do one that would help first responders

[izzy_cd]

When I talk to people I sign as well, even though I don't know anyone who is deaf, I am learning ASL and your videos really help!

[gaildennis]

I'm so Grateful for the time and effort you bring to making these videos. Thank you 😊

[JillKotchen]

Great job. Deaf people can understand better with ASL clear.

[dxaa.podcast]

I'm just starting to learn ASL. is there a reason the "me" is at both the beginning and the end of sentences? can it be left off the end or would that be considered improper grammar?

[NaOlaproductions]

I wish I could afford this class. I'm definitely saving for the next one. Hopefully there being one, these videos are great!

[Sooya_blacpink]

Thank you for this beautiful video and thank you for making me learn sign language easily.❤️🌹

[wardamohamed]

Thank you sooo much for this video! 8:31 is where I amend

[julierantao]

GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS KHUMO FROM SOUTH AFRICA.I AM A BEGINER. LEARNING SASL.THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS. THEY HELP A LOT. MOST SIGNS ARE SIMILAR AND THAT HELPS A LOT.
SHALOM!😊

[AzDesertFoxx]

Your viedeos have helped me so much! I work with a few deaf individuals, and I feel taking the time to try and commucnicate with them hopefully makes them feel more included. It's easy to say a workplace is "inclusive", but if you don't take the time to at least try to communicate/understand people, is it really? Thanks so much; your videos rock!!

[johnrojas]

That’s a very great video of questions and responses. It will help signers to understand the questions and answers. Hopefully that the signers will be using their face expressions. Meredith, I wish you the very best of luck in teaching students about ASL. Have fun! 😊😊

[andykoski]

What is the purpose of "you" at the end of a question if it's already signed at the beginning?

[bettymarrion]

Hello, I live in Kenya and I love your videos. We have our own sign language, KSL, but I like the teacher here😊.

[jessicabeatrice]

i know asl basics for 5 years and i be happy to learn more about asl i been seen this for moths i want to get better

[annec]

I have a question Meredith: why in ASL do we use the personal pronoun when introducing ourselves and not the possessive? Wouldn't that be saying "Me name is Anne?" Thank you for your amazing content!!

[jessykavhuru]

Thanks so much Meredith, I love your videos, you are an expect.
