Learn how to sign 150 essential ASL signs and phrases. Well, technically this is part 1 of 6, so we'll be learning about 25 signs in this video. Specifically we're learning about ASL common signs and ASL description signs. These are fundamental signs that you'll use to craft your first ASL phrases.
150 signs is a lot of signs, but I promise, you can do it! We're breaking these videos down to 6 bite size videos where we'll spend a good amount of time with each word. By the end of this series you should be able to carry on a basic conversation with a deaf person. How cool is that!

My uncle was deaf and my mom made sure we knew basic ASL to communicate with him. Fast forward 30 years to present day. I have been using your videos to become more proficient at ASL. I stopped to help an elderly woman who's car had broke down and was deaf. I began signing with her. She relaxed, we got the help she needed. The smile on her face was the best thank you i have received in the 20 some years as a police officer.

@JaredGalbraith Год назад

The format of these videos is pedagogically strong. Changing your hairstyle, shirt, and background color increases the uniqueness of each sign demonstration. When coupled with the varying video speed, different camera angles and several repetitions of the sign, retention is maximized. Incorporating a helpful simile or informal etymology reinforces your student's long term memory of the sign. I'm really impressed. I like you.

@LearnHowtoSign Год назад

Thanks for this Jared. I have to be honest, I had to look up a couple of the words you used! We definitely put a lot of focus in our format and use "production value" to not just make the content look pretty, but to make it more effective.

@german-swedish-americanvin6164 Год назад

Sometimes though, I can’t see exactly what little think you do with your hand, for example in I need help, I couldn’t tell exactly how to do the “need” part of the sign.

@hanaronato4477 2 года назад

It's not mouthing "Fish". You still need to mouth the word you are using if you are Hard of Hearing or a Hearing person. The "Fsh" sound is usually to abbreviate "Finish" in a way that can show the severity of the usage of the word.

This is honestly so helpful. I work at an elementary school with 2nd graders and three of the kiddos are barley learning how to sign (due to their disabilities). I now know what they are trying to sign and even I will show them a new sign or two! Also! Doing that 'fish' for finished had one of the kiddos so excited and now everytime he signs 'finished' he's always adding in that little 'fish' sound at the end!

Yes, expression is sooooo important in ASL. Glad it is coming naturally.

@aznchik7229 3 года назад

I've never heard of being too expressive with ASL. From my understanding, the more expressive, the better! Deaf / hard of hearing people get to know your personality through how you sign similarly with how hearing people get to know your personality with how loud, fast, etc you talk. ☺️

Thank you for these videos. My husband and I have a toddler who is nonverbal and possibly on the autism spectrum and our speech therapist recommended that we start learning ASL. Our son will hopefully be evaluated in a couple of months to confirm this. It's been hard to learn but we are taking it slowly. Your videos have been helping us. We have been rewatching over and over again. My husband feels that our son is a little happier with us signing and he is trying to do some signs too. We hope he will start talking but for now we will do as the speech therapist says, sign and talk to him for communication.

@naomiarkison5365 2 года назад

Thank you so much for these videos! My Mom used to be an interpreter for the deaf at my church, it was something she was very proud of, and I'm proud she did it, too. I learned a little bit with some videos, then had an encounter with a hard-of-hearing woman (from church, again) who gave me my name-sign. It's inspired me to give back to the deaf community by becoming fluent in their language. I've already had a couple of cool encounters with others where I utilized my signing skills in real-life, and it reminds me to practice more, maybe get a coach online again. Thank you so much!

@LearnHowtoSign 2 года назад

i wonder why there are so many? is it because of simple language changes in words, such as accents, or words that dont exist? i guess for the same reason everybody doesnt speak the same language.

@mylex817 2 месяца назад

@@makenzikenyon7478in fact, proportionally there are far more sign languages than spoken languages. This is because up until very recently, many deaf communities were fairly isolated, in institutes for disabled people, in certain villages where there were high rates of deafness and within families, barely interacting with each other. These communities then all developed their own sign languages. Over the last centuries some linguists and teachers started to formalize and spread the sign languages in their region. This is how we end up with the few hundred "standardized" sign languages. However, there are countless thousands of sign languages that were never recorded or finalized.

I hurt my friends feelings by overtalking over the phone and we have to go to work today. (I admit I've become very good at debate with my upbringing, but it makes me someone that can easily become the most admired by many or the most disliked). She really means a lot to me and we talked about learning ASL to communicate better. I'm going to surprise her with some phrases and hopefully we can continue being friends and use ASL to speak our hearts instead of getting caught up in wordplay. She really loves music and linguistics whereas I love engineering and the Christian faith. This may bridge the gap between our speaking styles and help us communicate better long-term. In a heart to heart kings of way. God is showing me how real His word is by making me live through Proverbs. I have to be slow to speak and swift to listen. I'm subscribed and I hope to become a better communicator in general, and especially for my relationship.

Thank you for this! I've been having hearing loss issues, and I thought it would be better safe then sorry to start learning sign! I've got the alphabet and regular greetings down pat, but I'm working on the more in depth stuff. Thanks again! ❤

just wanna add: when asking yes or no questions, your eyebrows go up. but when asking any other question, your eyebrows go down. HOWEVER, "how are you?" is an exception to this !!! your eyebrows go up, or you just have a friendly expression on to indicate you're making small talk :-D if your eyebrows go down when asking "how are you?", this expresses concern and indicates you're asking for a more elaborate answer other than just "i'm fine" not to sound like a "i kNoW betTeR tHaN yOu" person, this is just something i learned from another deaf teacher! cheers! your videos are really helpful

This page is so helpful! We are teaching our infant to sign to help him communicate before he can speak and are relearning as we teach him. It's been so helpful and makes us feel very happy to know we could communicate the basics to any non hearing person we may meet. Thank you for helping us and others!!!

I've been thinking about learning a sing language (didn't know which one) for a long time. I speak a lot of spoken languages and I wanted to try something new. Yesterday I run into this short "The Silent Girl", and decided to start. I did the ABC yesterday. It was a lot of fun and easy. I will do this 150 word' series to see how it goes. Thanks for this video!

@LearnHowtoSign 2 года назад

Hope it is going well for you!!

@PolyglotTraveler21 2 года назад

@@LearnHowtoSign Yeah! Your videos are great! I don't have a personal reason to learn a sign language. I just like the idea of being able to communicate with a deaf person in the real world just to see his reaction. It's gonna be cool! I speak some "exotic languages" like Chinese, Hebrew, Greek and Russian and I just love their reactions when I start speaking their language. It's like we become old friends in five minutes. I love that! Actually I should probably study the french sign language (LSF) since I live in France and I'm traveling around Europe. But your videos are so useful and clear that I decided to let LSF for later. Keep up the good job!

Thank you so much for these guides, me and my wife are having a harder time talking verbally and have learned some sign in the past and now we are refreshing our memories using your lessons. God bless!

@thelostremainunfound 2 года назад

Thank you for these videos! I’m currently studying to be a special education teacher and I’d love to specialize in deaf and HoH. My school doesn’t offer ASL courses unless you want to take “filler” credits and so I’m trying to prime myself now so I can at least have some of the skills until I can get a focused endorsement to formalize my training and understanding 😊

My daughter is 8 and has hearing loss and aides to help. She was so interested in learning sign language. I taught her several signs as I know it as well but am rusty from not using it. I couldn’t find a class for her age and resorted to you tube. These 6 videos are wonderful. Easy to follow great explanations and enough words to have easy conversations! I wanted to say thank you and keep the videos coming.

@nunyabusiness6450 2 года назад

Hi! I have double jointed fingers which "pop" into certain positions and can't really hold an in between position without a ton of effort on my part. This can make doing certain signs or switching between some signs very difficult. Are there possible adaptations in the general community that are understood? Or would the recommendation be to just slow down my signing?

@zeke546 Год назад

I'm confused on "how are you?" In one example both hands would rotate in unison and the next example for the same phrase would show the hands rotate opposite to each other

@emilyeaton13 День назад

there are “accents” in sign language so some people may sign slightly differently

@ashlandwest1647 Год назад

This series is SO helpful! I have a new roommate who is deaf, and my brother and I have been trying to learn ASL to communicate with her. Your videos are the best I've found, and this series, in particular, is absolutely incredible. The signs are all super helpful and well described. The segments in the video showing the times for each sign are also super handy because I can skip back to them if I need to be reminded of a specific sign. Thank you so much for making this resource!

@matizzy9612 6 месяцев назад

I started studying at CSU Northridge. I met a lot of friends that study the DEAF STUDIES and know how to speak in ASL. I recently came across a pair of people communicating through ASL and thought to myself, how frustrated I would be if I was not able to speak to anyone only because I cannot hear anybody. That’s when I decided to start learning ASL. Thank you so much for those videos!

I worked for a couple last week who are deaf. I was so nervous but they were very patient with me. It was a mix of charades and writing. They were both kind and funny, and I had a wonderful time. I am learning ASL so when I go back to do some finish work I can show them what I have learned. I’ve got the alphabet down so there’s that! I’m excited to learn more. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

@cflcami704 2 года назад

i used to practice all the time, and often times at work i will run into someone who speaks asl, ad is having a hard time asking for help without having to say on written paper "im deaf", just two days ago, i met a deaf gentleman who needed help finding ramen noodles in a store. he was trying to get a guys attention and i simply asked him if he signed and the relief of his expression of someone he can talk to is always so rewarding. thats why im learning sign. if i can help a single person ind something as simple as ramen noodles, just to see the joy on their faces is enough for me. its been year since ive practiced but i the back of my memory was enough to hold up that conversation. thank you for people like us learn sign language!
