In this video, you'll learn the different ways to translate "right" into sign language, and also how to say "wrong", "what's wrong?", "mistakes / error", and "something went wrong' in American Sign Language. Enjoy!

    My 4 month old grandson was recently fitted with hearing aids. While we hope he is helped by them we are planning to be able to communicate with him however he needs us to. We've been working with ASL books and flashcards for a few months but I found your videos yesterday and feel like we could learn a lot from you. Thank you. 😊

    I wish all ASL videos for beginners were like this: clear, showing the sign from multiple angles, giving examples of usage. This is how it's done--thank you!

Can you please make a video for directions? Like RIGHT, LEFT, NEARBY, UPSTAIRS, NEXTDOOR, etc.? Example sentence: “this door to the left goes to the elevators.” I would greatly appreciate it!!

    Thank you! Could I make a recommendation? I'm just learning ASL because I have a deaf puppy that I am fostering. Could you do a video on the most common dog commands? I have a pocket dictionary of signing but I learn better watching and you make things very clear. The videos for training dogs with hand signs focus more on the dog and not on how to make the sign.
    The one I'm most eager to learn is Gentle.
    Again thank you so much

    • @ASLMeredith
      @ASLMeredith  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Jackie, thanks for the request! I'm not surprised that dog training videos aren't too particular with the signs - because they're not teaching a *language*. They're teaching gestures that your dog will learn *from you*, regardless of how you end up producing the signal. (Dogs - even deaf ones - aren't born knowing sign language ;) ) so it makes sense that those videos aren't too specific. If you have specific suggestions for commands you'd most like to learn, please feel free to submit them to my request form here: aslmeredith.com/request

    Hi! I just started following your videos. I work in a candy shop, and there are several deaf customers who come in. It is very important that I describe the candy to all of the customers just in case there is an allergy. Can you do a video about candy and nuts and "is it an allergy or you just don't like nuts" kind of thing?

  • @cheyenne9151
    @cheyenne9151 5 років тому

    I have a question about lexicalized signs... Words such as “early” or “busy” lexicalized but there is also an actual sign for early and busy. Is there a certain time where it matters which one I use? Or is it just what I prefer

    • @ASLMeredith
      @ASLMeredith  5 років тому +1

      A simple question with a complex answer :) It depends on the sign. Some words are the lexicalized version only (typically the case with things like new technology, eg: FAX). Others have equal signs that are either old/new (eg: FUN), or equivalent in conversation (eg: BUS, FIX). Others actually can have slightly different connotations (eg: EARLY, where the lexical version is less common and may be used more for 'early in the morning', as a time period, as opposed to general meaning of EARLY as 'in advance of' or 'ahead of time'.) So it depends! In most cases the person you're talking to will be able to understand either way.

      Hi there! Yes you can sign with your left hand! See this video for more information: ua-cam.com/video/7aUa50q0GcE/v-deo.html The important thing is to be consistent - don't switch back and forth between hands.
