30 Signs You Need to Know for Basic ASL Conversations

thank you so much

Algunas palabras, no la sé español

I know a lot of these videos say the difference between sign language grammar an American English grammar but a lot of deaf people that I signed with sign in American grammar as opposed to your name what they'll sign to me what's your name

Is there a reason you can explain to me as to why pronouns are repeated so often? (In the sentencies you gave at the end)

Ok

Great job. Thanks

I've watched many of your videos and I keep coming back to this one because it gets the "gears turning" for signing. Thank you so much for sharing these 🙏

may you come to our school?.the school is called Westgate Group of Schools

I am HoH / wear hearing aids (my hearing loss is degenerative) and I'm also a teacher. I'm teaching a summer school program where I will have two Deaf students and an ASL interpreter. I'm not fluent in ASL, but I'm fairly proficient and can get by in most conversations ok. That being said, it is extremely difficult to speak out loud in English and sign with grammatically correct ASL. I asked the ASL interpreter if I would confuse our students by signing off and on while teaching (with her being the main interpreter, of course) and she said no, that I should try and sign as much as possible.

Do you have any tips for singing correct ASL (I'm pretty familiar with the grammar, although this is an area I need to practice more of) while also speaking in vocal English at the same time? I feel like it's the whole "rub your belly while patting your head" type thing with my brain doing somersaults. I just wasn't sure if there might be any tips or tricks. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Very helpful! Now I can already sign a few phrases!

Signs for dealing with Karen’s😂😂😂

I'm a kid and some times my classmates get hurt and cry a bit and they will not talk so they will use sign language so that's why I'm learning.

I'm in security and I've encountered two deaf patrons who needed my help. But all I could do was use texts, and it was embarrassing for me not being able to help properly.
So, I'm hoping that learning ASL not only help me work wise, but also get a better job opportunity in the future.

Im deaf

Signing is strongly regional! A student needs to associate with deaf people to broaden their understanding. Signs can vary from state to state, or even person to person. A slightly different hand shape can change the meaning of a "normal" sign and a slang sign, example: your sign for morning, in the southeast can mean another morning experience. Also in older deaf people, signing was often punished at school, so it was learned in secrecy. This led to variants in signs, especially "dirty" or sex-related words. It also varied/varies by race, since schools were racially separate, but unequal.

But how is the other person suposed to keep eye contact when they have to look at your hands? And vice versa

Thanks for sharing. There's four death people I see on the job and can't communicate with them. I only know the basics.

want learn

Why can deaf people just get subtitles

Hello

Practice and try your best.

I absolutely love this channel! I have a question , how is your welcome signed?

I thought For happy it was on your shoulders. that’s what my sign language teacher told me.😊

Is the tips same for BSl?

i want to learn sign because I had a deaf person in my class in 5th grade but at the time i didnt know how to communicate with them.

Thank you , I've never learn sign language it my first time but it seemed very easy for me to learn since you explain it well .❤

So glad I came across this account. I decided to learn ASL after seeing how many deaf customers were coming into my place of work than ever before! We communicate with sticky notes and some hand gestures. Living the journey of learning not only something new but something that helps me understand and help those who communicate through ASL.

I'm left-handed, so, my dominant hand is my left. Would I still use my dominant hand for these signs? Or, would using my left hand read "backwards"?

When doing sign language, is it essential to do two hands or is it ok to do it with one?

Good job Meredith,your signing is exceptional❤

My love for ASL, sometimes I forget I am communicating with hearers😂oops!
they are sluggish in learning just the alphabets

Thanks!

Deaf hiii hahaha good

I’ve always wanted to learn ASL simply because I want to and I just never realized how many people don’t have the gift of hearing like we do. I know how it feels to not be able to do things that almost everybody else can, so that’s why I want to learn ASL. I want to help everyone and anyone. Thank you so much for blessing me with this opportunity!

Thank you so much I learned a lot!

I wish we had same sign language which can be used internationally 🙃

I see you … but I really get sensitive when people say watch out to the blind, we hear to signers…naturally… I don’t always see things that wayzzzzzzzzz

Instructions unclear now im sally
