Thank you so much for these videos. In my kid's school, they are teaching him ASL to all the kids. It is a regular school but with an inclusive twist. My 3yo son is autistic so seeing the signs represented here it is amazing for me.

[camchau]

Thank you for creating GREAT teaching videos. I love that you have each section time listed and the sentences at the end. THANK YOU <3 !

[AudrinaOralay]

Your videos are so helpful! We've been using your videos to teach my toddler ASL. It's funny when you said that some signs are intuitive, in that they look like the animal. I noticed that with the routines video too. My toddler has made up several signs, and it turns out she wasn't that far off from the real ASL sign! I found the sentence breakdown very helpful! We will start signing sentences soon.

Its really easy to understand animal signs after the concise explanation you gave. Merci Beaucoup.

Just finished reading my child the book "My First Animal Signs" and figured we would watch a complementary video. Thanks for the upload!!!

[erinmattingly]

This is very helpful. Just a suggestion is to put the animal picture on the screen too. I am using this video to teach my son sign language as I am also learning. He is only 2, so he doesn't associate the words with what the animals look like.

[fxnnick]

thanks for posting! I've been hoping to find animal signs tutorials

[abbiearnou]

I've always wanted to learn Asl. I think it's so cool to be able to talk without speaking. I've found it challenging so far but then I found your videos!! The way you teach is my FAVOURITE! it's very clear and I love you're personality and attitude, so I actually enjoy learning now. Your real life students are extremely, extremely lucky!❤❤

[aubrefry]

Hey, I love your videos!! One question: does it still work if you say something like "What your favorite animal?" Instrad of "You animal favorite what you?"?

[autismocharismo]

Some animal signs id like to see are Rat, Kangaroo, Lizard, Alpaca and Ferret. Skunk! Wolverine. Do they have a word for marsupial or mustletid?

Could you talk about how to describe an animal? Like are there any specific sentence structures or verbs specifically for the size, relationship, etc? Or like the adverbs/verbs ‘pet’ vs ‘to pet’?

maybe some make-believe animals if you have them like Dragon, Vampire, elf, Creature (maybe not Monster), Giant as a noun if that exists?

Are there any ways to describe animals based on what they look like, or a way to try and specify what kind of animal you’re talking about without potentially finger spelling? (IE if there isn’t a word for ‘mink’ but there’s a word for ‘ferret’, how would you try to elaborate?)

this is VERY fascinating and I love your videos and languages so much!!!

[tgenrette]

Thank You Kindly! This is video is so helpful.

[johnrojas]

It’s great for your fans to learn animals sign language. Thanks for making the video. Your fans love you. 🙂🙂👍👍

[Maria-ixup]

When you are crossing your arms or hands to make a specific sign, does it matter which one you put on the top? Right or left?

[fransiskagaby]

Please add the sign word for raccoon on your next video if possible, and I love your videos🦝🦝🦝
