Learn How to Sign The Alphabet (ABCs) in ASL

Meredith teaches Kate how to sign the alphabet in American Sign Language. She is learning all the signs for letters A through Z as well as some bonus material towards the end where we explore fingerspelling. The alphabet is so important because fingerspelling is used all the time in sign language. Never has knowing your ABC's been so important. Be sure to sign along as it is a great way to remember the signs.

I always wanted to learn how to sign. I don't know why it took me till the age of 60 to take action, but today, because of your video, I learned my ABCs in ASL - and enjoyed it. THANK YOU!

[just_ise]

I'm supposed to be doing my assignments but here I am trying to memorize the asl alphabet 😅 I enjoyed and learned a lot, thank you!

[SweetiesYTAlt]

I can pick up asl quicker than French- Your videos make it easier to learn asl.






(You don’t need to read this but go ahead)
I’m learning asl so I can communicate with my family and friends because I get selected mutism when I’m anxious and the possibility that I’ll meet someone who’s mute and/or deaf

I work in a Hotel in Dublin and every staff can speak more than 2 languages, I was wondering how I could be more helpful and decide to learn ASL and thanks to Meredith and Kate I'm learning really quick. Gonna keep learning. Thanks for that girls!!!❤

[starwarsexpert]

I’m doing ASL as my language requirement for my Bachelors Degree, and I’m taking my first Sign Language class right now, ASL 1. And you’re videos have been super helpful for studying for class. Thank you so much!

Hola Meredith! I am a nurse and I live in The most beautiful island of the Caribbean, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I have always wanted to learn ASL, I don’t understand why this is not teaching to us at school since we are kids. It’s a shameee! 😢. As a phychiatric nurse I had a none verbal PT and it was so frustrating and heartbreaking not be able to help him or I will say communicate to him the way he deserved. I felt so horrible with my self I finally decided to learn because that can’t happen ever again. I thank god for people like you 🙌🏼🙏🏽 I have been watching your videos and also I have some “flash cards “ that I practice every day. I love the way you teach, is so easy and your voice and personality is amazing 👏🏾🙌🏼. I can’t wait to be able to help other patients in the future and all because of this videos you make. God bless you! 🙏🏽 THANK YOU!

[balanimemyself]

Wish every one who teaches was like you.
You're so soothing to watch.
Never thought about learning sign language but now I do! 😂
Thanks to you!! 😃😄

I'm a Pre-Vet student and this could be so helpful when I meet someone with a pet/animal that's deaf/nonverbal. Your explanation was so clear and I loved the slow pacing! Thank you so much :3

[wahidzamantdr]

It has been just a week and I already have learned to sign numbers, alphabets and fingerspelling. Now trying to learn words and to make sentences and I learned all of this from this specific channel and no other, thank you very much, Meredith.

whoever wants to learn sign language i would suggest this channel because according to me this is the best channel to learn ASL(American Sign Language)

[emiliehh.]

I've wanted to learn asl for forever and these videos are really helping. I find it so much easier to learn asl than to learn a completely different language because I struggle with pronunciation. Thank you for making these videos!

[JOHNch.v.v.to]

Great teaching! I learned so much in less than one hour, and I look forward to using this to one day be a witness for the Lord to the deaf!

[Meggie_B]

I signed along and once you finished the alphabet section I paused the video and thought, theres no way I got that down, but I did! Sure I can’t go fast just yet but I remember every one! Its amazing

[sciphus]

I wish they taught asl in high school. I'm 22 and now learning asl I think I got my name down pretty well

[kathleenalcaraz]

I have never posted a comment on YouTube before. THANK YOU!!! I was born with full hearing, and am now (basically) deaf. Long story, hearing aids won't help/I am... not "that old". I have been practicing and many hearing people I interact with are very interested! I speak two languages now, and will strive to make ASL number 3. Thanks again!

I love that you include your daughter. What a great way to teach acceptance where it matters most - at home.

[notpaulax]

I can’t - how cute the little girl is talking btw thx I really want to learn sign thanks for helping !

[RonHoward-lv]

I have subscribed to several ASL channels and I'm learning a lot, so thank you for having these available to those of us who can't afford to take a college class. I am a preschool teacher and after 25 years of being in a classroom, I now have 2 deaf students; one with minimal hearing and one who is totally deaf. I am able to teach my lessons in ASL, but I have to rehearse them the night before and the morning of. It's working out great, but one thing is happening that I never considered: My hands and arms get very tired. I suppose the more I sign, the easier it will be. I'm having a lot of fun with it though. Keep up the good work!

[mku.mi]

i don't care that it's the middle of the night. i am gonna start learning sign language. right. now. TY FOR THIS VIDEO! IT WAS VERY HELPFUL!! 🙏🙏

[ssvpgaming]

17 years ago my sister had a daughter, and she was born deaf. I'm just now starting to try to learn, because I recently saw a video of how some deaf people feel in a room of non signers. I felt awful 😞. I had no idea how it could make them feel so alone in a full room. Soon she's going to graduate from the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind, and I just want to be able to tell her I'm proud in sign language.

I love asl because I like to work out my hands. I like doing it because if you talk to somebody and they can’t speak you can do ASL. Love you Meredith.
🥰🥰🥰 ❤❤❤💗💗💗💖💖💖Thank you.

[familyburdette]

That was fantastic! Our family really enjoyed and learned a lot today. We will practice everyday, and add new words each day! Thank you for all you do. We can't wait to be able to talk with our neighbor.
