My niece has autism and is non verbal. The family as a whole (30 aunts and uncles, 60 cousins) have all decided to learn together and she’s only 3. She signs to communicate and it’s great 👍🏾 we use your videos to learn.
My brother has three children. Brody, the younger is very nonverbal. He iearns sign at his school. My brother lucked out bc here, where we live, they have a school for kids on the spectrum and there are tiny classrooms with like 4 of 5 other children where they are taught to sign in class. I never know what he is asking for, mostly my phone, but I came and learned the "no, I'm sorry" from you. I felt bad when he would sign to me. I still don't know what he was signing. lol
I saw a video on how to say sorry. Never used sign or even thought about it. The other day I was blocking a women trying to get past me. She was silent and then it occurred to me she was def. I used the sorry sign and she was so impressed and smiled from ear to ear. I felt so good about it I’ve decided to learn some more basic sign words.
Thank you for posting these. I had a deaf customer yesterday and I could only remember " thank you" and felt so flustered and rude. Saving this video for practice!
I work at an Amazon warehouse and I regularly bump into other workers who happen to be deaf. I used to be fairly fluent in ASL as a child, but sadly forgot most of it. But I would greatly love to communicate with these coworkers and came across your videos while trying to brush up on basic phrases. Thank you for these lessons.
Thank you for checking out my page! I'm sure that you will remember a lot as you begin to practice more. I made these videos with the intention of providing quick lessons for words and phrases. I hope this helps you to communicate comfortably with your coworkers soon!
I started a job that employs a lot of deaf people, so I decided I should learn, thank you for being so clear on all the signs! I’m excited to start using the little bit I know!
I have two hearing impaired patients at my new job and wanted to learn how to sign basic words to communicate with them. They are awesome and pleasant and I know just a few signs will help me connect with them. Thank you for this short and effective video lesson 😃
Was looking up videos for beginners and all of them seemed to make you learn tons of words or phrases to start. Then I found this video which was so much better because it's only asking you to learn a few words/phrases at a time, and this is so much easier for people like me who aren't great at learning this, so thank you so much for this nice, simple video. It's really a big help for me and I appreciate it a lot. I just wanted to learn for myself and this is a good starting point. Keep smiling ✌😊
I work in the deli in a grocery store. I had a customer who was hard-of-hearing and used sign language to communicate. He signed "thank you" to me after I had helped him, but I didn't know how to sign "you're welcome" in return. I hope to see him again. :)
Thank you so much!! I had a deaf customer the other day and she was so excited that I knew how to sign thank you that I am inspired to learn more. I can't wait to see her again and be able to communicate better more than just one phrase (thank you is all I knew before today. Thank you for your amazing videos. I am teaching my family each new phrase I learn.
I've been teaching my son ASL. He's 17 months and can sign "more", "all done", "eat", "thank you", "water" Thank you for these informative videos. It helps me understand better so I can better teach my son while he learned how to speak.
I have always wanted to learn to sign and currently, because of surgery I am unable to speak so my husband and I are learning together. Shouldn't have waited until I needed to learn but here we are😊thank you.
It's never too late! (but I know what you mean). I hope you have a quick recovery. Sign Language will help ease the strain of wanting to speak. Feel better soon!
I just met a deaf person and asked for a smoke. I just was having second guesses if I had said thank you correctly. Also so my next interaction with a deaf person can be smoother. Last thing I wanna do is sign wrong and offend by mistake. Thank you to the lady making these videos informative and easy to understand
I have been teaching my daughter sign language since she was 6 months old, started with more, and now we are working on these, she will be 2 in April, and knows thank you already ❤️
This is so interesting! I took ASL in college and my instructor, who was deaf, always just signed OK instead of you’re welcome. He was super laid back/casual and I just assumed he was being informal. I had no idea there wasn’t a formal sign for you’re welcome!
Yes! As with any language, it takes time to put all of the pieces together. There are a few accepted signs for “you’re welcome.” OK, fine, nothing (meaning it was nothing, no problem), nothing problem or you can sign “thank you” in return as a response.
This was very helpful, thank you. I'm learning ASL on youtube because i can't afford the classes right now so videos like this are so amazing. Thank you very much for what you do
In last 36 months my tinnitus has become severe so I am proactively pursuing knowledge in ASL, your video is officially my first stop and I was so impressed I subscribed. I honestly would have tried to learn ASL regardless as I enjoy communicating with others on multiple levels but the tinnitus was the kick in the a$$ up I think I needed. Looking forward to gleaning as much as I can from you. You are very pretty as well (not a come on line, simply a compliment. Thank you for having these instructional videos. Rod
Thank you so much for the kind words. I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from tinnitus. I love that you are taking the time to learn sign language and I am happy to know that my videos are helping you.
Ugh. I know how that feels (sounds). It's really weird to be aware that one of your senses is fading yeah? But hey, there are people that care. There are people that love, no matter your impairment. In a way, you may make better friends because of it. Because those people are the ones that TRULY love you.
Ah yes! I had a customer come in who was hearing impaired and I couldn’t remember your welcome but I accidentally signed sorry. We had a good laugh but man do I need to practice 😂 thank you for making this video
thank you!!! i work in retail and we have a deaf customer that comes in every month to get his bus pass and I knew what thank you was and he always signs that and i wanted to know how to say you’re welcome so thank you sm for this!! i’m excited to show him next time i see him :)
Very clear video. We are not hearing impaired in our house, but my 2 year old doesn't speak a lot of words yet and I've wanted to teach her these signs for a while. Since she was a baby, we've done "more" and "all done" but now I'm finding we need to expand our communication skills. Thanks so much!
My 13 month old knows about 50 signs at this point and it is SOOOO rewarding! To be able to communicate clearly with her has really limited her tantrums as well!
Thank you , my brother recently thru cancer has lost his ability to talk , this one little video has restored hope in conversation for my brother , my wife , and myself 👍
There's this guy at my job who's deaf and he's one of the nicest people ever and I hate the fact that I just get to be nice back to him but not really communicate with him like I do with the rest of my co-workers, so I’ve decided to change that and now I'm here! Thank you so much for this, this is very helpful! ♥️
You are the easiest person to follow I have tried to watch a lot of these videos to help communicate with my two-year-old son but your videos are so clear to me that they actually stick I very much so enjoy your teachings and the style that you present
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Having been a student once myself, I know what helped me. I really do try to be clear and to the point. I’m happy to know that it helps. 😊
Hi and thanks for watching! Yes, unfortunately there is no shortage of misinformation online. You can’t believe everything you see. Bill Vicars is a favorite.
Had a deaf customer come in the drive thru. And when I realized it, I couldn't for the life of me remember basic sign when he thanked me. I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Came here because I didn't want to be that rude person in case I see him or anyone else like him again. I just want to try to understand and be of support
Thank you so much for the great video. I probably watched this 400 times. I just started working with a hearing impaired lady and I enjoy learning sign. No one else seems to care too. I am just starting out, thank you again for making great videos for beginners.
There’s a housekeeper lady that works in my hospital and she is so sweet and serene I dunno what it is but I want to convey thanks to her every time she comes to clean our department I am so appreciative for her consistency and sweet smiles makes me wanna learn sign language just to talk to her and here I am
Thank you so much! One of my new coworkers is deaf and we’ve become really good friends so I’m trying to learn sign so I can further communicate better with him… so I really appreciate these videos! Thank you so much!
Gonna be on your page more got a new job and we have a deaf coworker. He runs around with a white board but this makes me wanna learn it. Make his life easier even if only a little.
I have always been interested in sign and have learned a little over the years but recently am wanting to learn more! Thank you for clearing up the welcome signs. The person that told me welcome didn’t distinguish between the two signs.
Thank you! I am from the US, but living in Bogota. Went in for a haircut in a new neighborhood last night and the whole place, unbeknownst to me was mute. They understood body language and could tell I was trying to say thanks, but this will be my new place and I need to learn some basics. Even better their competition right next door tried to give me the "Gringo price" and I walked out without a word and they saw me go to the competition (these guys and gals who gave me a fair price. And it was a big place and full.
Hello Jack! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. One thing I should mention is that Sign Language is different in other countries. Spanish Sign Language and ASL may have some similarities but overall they are completely different. Even in England where the spoken language is English, ASL is not the common signed language. I needed an interpreter in England! Still you can share these videos with your new friends at the shop and you will develop your own unique signed language to share with everyone.
@@ASLLOVE How kind of you to reply and monitor this! Thank you! For me, and having lived in so many countries with different languages, its more about letting them know and they understand. One guy speaks Spanish there so I will confirm with him. Interestingly, in Arabic, you do a similar move with the hand over your heart which is meant to indicate sincerity. Not sure where you are from, but you have a great day and God bless you for your work.
Absolutely Jack. It's about communication and finding the common ground. Thank you for your positive attitude towards language and communicating. Have a great day also!
Thank you for this, I’m currently doing a job trial and I felt so embarrassed when a lovely couple came in and I was sure how to talk to them or understand, this will help alot !
Thank you I come here because of my deaf customer, I know how to say thank you, but today he thank me, I didn't know how to say you welcome, so I said thank you again lol.
Just wanted to be sure I did thank you and you're welcome correctly for a deaf couple at work yesterday. I only know a few signs and finger spell everything else, but they seemed pleasantly surprised when I communicated using their language.
Thank you for this. I work in customer service and while I dont get many deaf customers I would AT LEAST like to memorize how to say youre welcome when they say thank you 😊
Though my daughter can hear and speak (she's 1 and a half) I learn started learning sign language since she was born, and started teaching her milk and change since she was born, now she can sign a good amount of things. I felt it was important to teach her, so that way she can have a voice before she can fully talk. She can sign things that she can't say, like thank you, change, and milk. Along with a few more things. I always make sure I tell her how proud I am, I've been working on the sign for pee and poop because in the next few months I wanna get her started on potty training
I love that you took the initiative to teach your daughter. It is never a bad idea to have multiple modes of communication available to you. It will definitely assist with the potty training too.
Also, the sign for "you're welcome" you did for the response to "thanks", is also the sign for "i'm fine". Btw, i took 2 ASL courses few years ago, as in, Level 1 (basic) & Level 2.
You are correct. I mention that 0:54. The sign for “fine” is just one of a few acceptable responses. I show it in the video because it’s the sign I use most.
I'm a bus driver and I have a student who has a grandmother that is deaf. She signed "thank you" to me one day but I wasn't sure how to respond. Now I know 👍
My hearing is going. This video was very helpful in learning how to say, "you're welcome" to those that have noticed my tag at work that says: "Tom hearing impared" and have signed "thank you" to me. It's so kind. I asked for a tag that said this because my hearing is still there, but with masks these days, I realized that I read lips way more than I thought. And I've had a couple rude guests who have gotten upset with me because I couldn't make out what they were saying. Because of your video, now I can return the favor of signing "thank you" with "you're welcome". Yay!
I'm sorry that you've encountered some rude guests. Keep your chin up! Many of us rely on the addition of lip reading to fully understand what is being said. In the future you can also use the universal sign "thumbs up". That always seems to be understood.
@@ASLLOVE That's a good tip. My job is to process and deliver drive-up orders and my company's app says to keep the windows closed, and therefore they can't hear me usually. So if they're waiting on an order and I get their processing code I usually give a "thumbs up" then a "one index finger" as in "one moment". Seems to work a charm. Thanks again for making such a concise and helpful video for, well, anyone. Deaf, hearing impared, or not. Something I'd recommend to anyone who really want's to be able to communicate well is keep a notepad and pen on you so you can write things down if the time arrises.
Thank you for taking the time to learn! I am currently working on a video that you might like with the signs "need, have, want, etc." It should be up this Saturday.
Thanks again. I've seen a cool "you're welcome" sign on another UA-cam video in which the person places the hand with palm down in front of the chest, and then proceeds to smoothly lower the hand while simultaneously flipping it 180 degrees so the palm is up instead. It looks stylish.
@@ASLLOVE Yes, now I see that is the same ASL sign. It was presented with a bit more of a flourish in the other video, so initially I didn't realize that was the sign. Thanks again. I look forward to new videos.
I’ve been teaching my toddler basic sign language (and myself bc I don’t know it either) please, thank you & you’re welcome are the ones we do every single day, I recently had a girl I work with look at me like I was nuts when I signed youre welcome just like you did here, she didn’t tell me a different way but I could tell she was looking at me like “hmmm, that’s not it but ok” so here I am double checking myself 🙃
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to learn! I'm curious to know what your co-worker was thinking. Does she know sign? She may know a different way as there are a few options for signing "you're welcome." You could sign "OK" or "nothing" (meaning "it was nothing"), you could also sign "thank you" in return. Sometimes you will see the sign for "welcome in" used but I urge you not to use that. It is wrong. It's not worth an argument if someone tries to tell you otherwise. You have the best idea by continuing to research and cross check but when learning ASL you will come across people who will tell you that you are wrong. Don't sweat it. Keep learning, practicing and acquiring knowledge and you will gain clarity and confidence. You've got this!
I have a deaf customer who is a regular. I really want to communicate with her better because we have to ask for round ups, and my coworkers do not pay attention long enough to realize she's deaf. They think shes just being rude and end up not giving her any extra time or attentivness. If she has a problem or needs to buy furniture, she will look for me first and then settle for whoever else is willing to stop long enough to help her. She comes to my line if I'm up there because I check her out the way she likes, and I sign and mouth thank you. It's the bare minimum, but still, I'd like to do more.
You are in the right place! I appreciate you taking the time to learn. Little by little you will learn more signs that you can add to the conversation. I am in the process of making a series of videos for "shopping." I will have a video soon for the signs "pay, cash, credit, debit and receipt." For now I have Part 1 which has the signs for "want, need, looking for and have." Feel free to check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/0l5MSKbeZK4/v-deo.html
It might be a dialect thing here idk, I'm cajun so everything has to be different lol, I've always done the "welcome" sign for you're welcome, and that's all I've seen done as well. We also just say welcome sometimes, when speaking, you're welcome is more formal or used sarcastically most of the time. 😅 I love these vids helps me stay in the habit and even learn some new ones!
I love your comment for so many reasons. I've also seen the sign for welcome (meaning welcome in) used as a response and taught online sometimes. I try to avoid saying anyone's choice of sign or sign style is wrong, but unfortunately that is not the correct sign to use. I appreciate you recognizing it and mentioning it. Haha maybe it is a Cajun thing 😉 but at least now you know another option for a response. Thanks for watching!
@@ASLLOVE yep yep! I'm always trying to add new words into my ASL! We do have a strange dialect here that's the main reason I mentioned that, because it's how we say it when speaking and the way I've always seen it signed as well. Thanks for the reply and I'm glad you understood what I was on about to begin with LOL!
Im at a local store a while ago and a deaf customer saw I carried a lot of stuffs but I dont have a cart. She gave me the empty cart in fronts of her and I wanted to say thank you but I dont know how. I just bowed down as a sign of respect. That’s how I ended up here
I had a guest who was signing to her daughter and I was sad I forgot the asl I knew cause I really wanted to sign your welcome to her. If I get lucky enough to come across another guest who uses asl I'll be sure to actually try signing to them.
@@ASLLOVE I need to learn hopefully one day I can teach my son. He doesn't speak. Would be nice to be able to know what he is thinking. He has autism. So I pray he finds a way! This could be it!!
That’s a great question. You would use your dominant hand. If you are right handed, and you use your left hand, it will not change the meaning, but I recommend you stick with your dominant side. Try it both ways, you will find that your dominant side feels more comfortable.
I got my first deaf customer at work and I didn’t know sign. So that’s how I ended up here☺️
That’s ok! I’m happy to know that you are trying to learn. You will remember next time! 👍🏼

Thank you so much! One of my new coworkers is deaf and we’ve become really good friends so I’m trying to learn sign so I can further communicate better with him… so I really appreciate these videos! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to learn! Being able to communicate with your coworker/friend is an awesome goal.
Gonna be on your page more got a new job and we have a deaf coworker. He runs around with a white board but this makes me wanna learn it. Make his life easier even if only a little.
I really appreciate the effort you are making to learn Sign Language. I'm sure you're co-worker will appreciate it too!
Just had a deaf gentleman Drop off my package that worked for Amazon I felt bad that I couldn’t say thank you. So thank you for making these videos🤘🏻
Thank you for taking the time to learn! You will be ready next time. 👍
I have always been interested in sign and have learned a little over the years but recently am wanting to learn more! Thank you for clearing up the welcome signs. The person that told me welcome didn’t distinguish between the two signs.
I’m happy to know that my video helped! That’s great that you are interested in learning more. You’ve got this. 👍🏼
My Uber eats driver is deaf and the last time he delivered to me I felt bad I couldn’t thank him properly really needed this quick video
Now you have a response for next time!
Thank you! I am from the US, but living in Bogota. Went in for a haircut in a new neighborhood last night and the whole place, unbeknownst to me was mute. They understood body language and could tell I was trying to say thanks, but this will be my new place and I need to learn some basics. Even better their competition right next door tried to give me the "Gringo price" and I walked out without a word and they saw me go to the competition (these guys and gals who gave me a fair price. And it was a big place and full.
Hello Jack! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. One thing I should mention is that Sign Language is different in other countries. Spanish Sign Language and ASL may have some similarities but overall they are completely different. Even in England where the spoken language is English, ASL is not the common signed language. I needed an interpreter in England! Still you can share these videos with your new friends at the shop and you will develop your own unique signed language to share with everyone.
@@ASLLOVE How kind of you to reply and monitor this! Thank you! For me, and having lived in so many countries with different languages, its more about letting them know and they understand. One guy speaks Spanish there so I will confirm with him. Interestingly, in Arabic, you do a similar move with the hand over your heart which is meant to indicate sincerity. Not sure where you are from, but you have a great day and God bless you for your work.
Absolutely Jack. It's about communication and finding the common ground. Thank you for your positive attitude towards language and communicating. Have a great day also!
Thank you for this, I’m currently doing a job trial and I felt so embarrassed when a lovely couple came in and I was sure how to talk to them or understand, this will help alot !
Thank you for watching! The next time they (or anyone) comes in you will be ready! 👍
Outstanding! Thank you very much for this educational video. I am looking forward to sharing this with my mother as we learn ASL to support my cousin.
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to learn.
got my first delivery partner who was deaf and tht is why i ended up here. lesson learned now i know how to communicate with deaf person.
That’s great! Keep at it, communication is key. 👍🏼
Thank you I come here because of my deaf customer, I know how to say thank you, but today he thank me, I didn't know how to say you welcome, so I said thank you again lol.
That’s great! Keep practicing, it will get easier and you will learn more everyday. Thank you for learning!
I work in retail and I had to deal with my first hard of hearing family and I didn’t know how to say your welcome so I am very thankful for your video
Thank you for learning! I’m happy to know my video helped.
Just wanted to be sure I did thank you and you're welcome correctly for a deaf couple at work yesterday.
I only know a few signs and finger spell everything else, but they seemed pleasantly surprised when I communicated using their language.
I’m sure your efforts were much appreciated!
Love this, learning/teaching my little to sign. Short and sweet. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I’m happy to know that your little one is learning too.
I know zip about sign language, but I have a few new deaf customers and this helps a lot. Thank you! New sub 😊
Thank you Jason!
Thank you for posting this.I just had a young man sign Thank you and I didn't know how to sign your welcome.
Thanks for watching! I'm happy to know you were able to communicate.
Thank you for this. I work in customer service and while I dont get many deaf customers I would AT LEAST like to memorize how to say youre welcome when they say thank you 😊
Thank you for learning! Your efforts will be appreciated. 😀 👍
Short & sweet! No unnecessary lectures or time wasted! ♥️👍
Thank you for the positive feedback! Straight to the point is my goal. 👍
@@ASLLOVE I am a speech language pathologist, looking for exact gestures for toddlers! I found your videos professional & on the spot ♥️🙏
@@jasvinderarora8513 I appreciate your support! Thank you for the work that you do as an SLP. I've worked closely with many throughout the years. 💙
Though my daughter can hear and speak (she's 1 and a half) I learn started learning sign language since she was born, and started teaching her milk and change since she was born, now she can sign a good amount of things. I felt it was important to teach her, so that way she can have a voice before she can fully talk. She can sign things that she can't say, like thank you, change, and milk. Along with a few more things. I always make sure I tell her how proud I am, I've been working on the sign for pee and poop because in the next few months I wanna get her started on potty training
I love that you took the initiative to teach your daughter. It is never a bad idea to have multiple modes of communication available to you. It will definitely assist with the potty training too.
Also, the sign for "you're welcome" you did for the response to "thanks", is also the sign for "i'm fine".
Btw, i took 2 ASL courses few years ago, as in, Level 1 (basic) & Level 2.
You are correct. I mention that 0:54. The sign for “fine” is just one of a few acceptable responses. I show it in the video because it’s the sign I use most.
I had a deaf customer call me beautiful in asl.
That’s why I’m here and I really need to learn more.
That’s sweet. Keep practicing, you’ll get it!
My mom gets laryngitis every so often, so I wondered what she was doing with her hands. Thank you for showing me :)
I hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful.
I'm a bus driver and I have a student who has a grandmother that is deaf. She signed "thank you" to me one day but I wasn't sure how to respond. Now I know 👍
I’m happy to know this video helped!
My hearing is going. This video was very helpful in learning how to say, "you're welcome" to those that have noticed my tag at work that says:
"Tom
hearing impared"
and have signed "thank you" to me. It's so kind.
I asked for a tag that said this because my hearing is still there, but with masks these days, I realized that I read lips way more than I thought. And I've had a couple rude guests who have gotten upset with me because I couldn't make out what they were saying.
Because of your video, now I can return the favor of signing "thank you" with "you're welcome". Yay!
I'm sorry that you've encountered some rude guests. Keep your chin up! Many of us rely on the addition of lip reading to fully understand what is being said.
In the future you can also use the universal sign "thumbs up". That always seems to be understood.
@@ASLLOVE That's a good tip. My job is to process and deliver drive-up orders and my company's app says to keep the windows closed, and therefore they can't hear me usually. So if they're waiting on an order and I get their processing code I usually give a "thumbs up" then a "one index finger" as in "one moment".
Seems to work a charm.
Thanks again for making such a concise and helpful video for, well, anyone. Deaf, hearing impared, or not.
Something I'd recommend to anyone who really want's to be able to communicate well is keep a notepad and pen on you so you can write things down if the time arrises.
By the way, how did you get into ASL?
A notepad and pen is a great idea. You can also use the notes section on your phone to type something.
I discovered ASL in college. I started studying it then.
Perfect articulation in a video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback.
Thanks for giving basic signs of please,thank you,sorry and welcome.
Thank you for watching.
I’m semi-verbal autistic and I’ve decided to get back to learning ASL so I still have a way to communicate when I can’t speak. ❤
It's always a good idea to learn ASL. You've got this. 👍
Your teaching is fantastic.
Thanks so much!
Quick and simple. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this. My 1.5yr old is picking up on signs very well and I’ll begin to include this.
I’m happy to know that John! That is a great age to start learning Sign Language.
As I’m a server and I have a couple of customers who sign. I want to be able to sign with them. So thank u for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to learn! I am currently working on a video that you might like with the signs "need, have, want, etc." It should be up this Saturday.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped with my austic nephew in communication.
Thank you for watching. I’m happy to know that my video helped.
Video came in clutch w my deaf door dash driver ur great for posting this
Awesome! I’m glad it helped and thank you for watching!
Wow, everyone should learn these in high-school! Was very cool to learn these signs
Thank you for watching! I agree, more Sign Language should be taught in schools!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this video. ❤
Thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks again. I've seen a cool "you're welcome" sign on another UA-cam video in which the person places the hand with palm down in front of the chest, and then proceeds to smoothly lower the hand while simultaneously flipping it 180 degrees so the palm is up instead. It looks stylish.
Could you be referring to the sign I show for "welcome in"?
@@ASLLOVE Yes, now I see that is the same ASL sign. It was presented with a bit more of a flourish in the other video, so initially I didn't realize that was the sign. Thanks again. I look forward to new videos.
Thank you for this. I'm going to practice. ❤️
That’s great! Thank you for watching!
Thank you. I have a co worker who sign and I'm trying to understand her. At the same time my son is going to go through it as well.
Thank you for taking the time to learn. You’ve got this. 👍🏼
Thank you for posting these videos 😊
Glad you like them!
I’m learning asl as we speak . I had a deaf couple come into where I work . I used the very same than you after ringing them up
Thank you for watching and learning ASL!
Thank you for this! I'm so interested in learning basic sign language
Bless you
Thank you for watching! Practice a little each day and you will learn it. You've got this!
I’ve been teaching my toddler basic sign language (and myself bc I don’t know it either) please, thank you & you’re welcome are the ones we do every single day, I recently had a girl I work with look at me like I was nuts when I signed youre welcome just like you did here, she didn’t tell me a different way but I could tell she was looking at me like “hmmm, that’s not it but ok” so here I am double checking myself 🙃
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to learn! I'm curious to know what your co-worker was thinking. Does she know sign? She may know a different way as there are a few options for signing "you're welcome." You could sign "OK" or "nothing" (meaning "it was nothing"), you could also sign "thank you" in return. Sometimes you will see the sign for "welcome in" used but I urge you not to use that. It is wrong. It's not worth an argument if someone tries to tell you otherwise. You have the best idea by continuing to research and cross check but when learning ASL you will come across people who will tell you that you are wrong. Don't sweat it. Keep learning, practicing and acquiring knowledge and you will gain clarity and confidence. You've got this!
"Thank You" for more words I needed!
Awesome! I’m happy to know my videos are helping.
God is always there for you
Thank you Ma'am.
I'm in the car with my deaf Uber driver and I just wanted to say thanks.
I’m glad you found my video! Thanks for watching and learning.
I have a deaf customer who is a regular. I really want to communicate with her better because we have to ask for round ups, and my coworkers do not pay attention long enough to realize she's deaf. They think shes just being rude and end up not giving her any extra time or attentivness. If she has a problem or needs to buy furniture, she will look for me first and then settle for whoever else is willing to stop long enough to help her. She comes to my line if I'm up there because I check her out the way she likes, and I sign and mouth thank you. It's the bare minimum, but still, I'd like to do more.
You are in the right place! I appreciate you taking the time to learn. Little by little you will learn more signs that you can add to the conversation. I am in the process of making a series of videos for "shopping." I will have a video soon for the signs "pay, cash, credit, debit and receipt." For now I have Part 1 which has the signs for "want, need, looking for and have." Feel free to check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/0l5MSKbeZK4/v-deo.html
hey thamnk you for this video! im left handed. can i use my left hand instead of right?
Thanks for watching! Yes, definitely use your left hand. That will be your dominant hand when signing and will feel more comfortable.
I like you. Very good lesson.
Thank you!
It might be a dialect thing here idk, I'm cajun so everything has to be different lol, I've always done the "welcome" sign for you're welcome, and that's all I've seen done as well. We also just say welcome sometimes, when speaking, you're welcome is more formal or used sarcastically most of the time. 😅 I love these vids helps me stay in the habit and even learn some new ones!
I love your comment for so many reasons. I've also seen the sign for welcome (meaning welcome in) used as a response and taught online sometimes. I try to avoid saying anyone's choice of sign or sign style is wrong, but unfortunately that is not the correct sign to use. I appreciate you recognizing it and mentioning it. Haha maybe it is a Cajun thing 😉 but at least now you know another option for a response. Thanks for watching!
@@ASLLOVE yep yep! I'm always trying to add new words into my ASL! We do have a strange dialect here that's the main reason I mentioned that, because it's how we say it when speaking and the way I've always seen it signed as well. Thanks for the reply and I'm glad you understood what I was on about to begin with LOL!
The more you practice, the more "accents of the hand" you will see. Keep at it! You've got this. 🤟
Thanks to this i know now how to say thankyou to the one who served my coffee at starbucks ❤️
Love that! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for your channel..I love it! You are a wonderful ASL teacher!
Thank you for your kind words!
@@ASLLOVE you are very welcome.
Thank you 🙂
Thank you I work and we welcome in course era and there’s a customer that is a regular that uses asl and I want to be able to welcome them in
That's great! Thank you for watching and learning.
I met a deaf cashier at my local store and I wanted to at least learn “thank you” and “you’re welcome” for when checks out my items.
That’s awesome. I’m sure your effort will be appreciated!
Im at a local store a while ago and a deaf customer saw I carried a lot of stuffs but I dont have a cart. She gave me the empty cart in fronts of her and I wanted to say thank you but I dont know how. I just bowed down as a sign of respect. That’s how I ended up here
Little by little you will learn more signs. Keep practicing. You’ve got this!
@@ASLLOVE Im watching your videos cause Im really interested in learning their language since yesterday. Thankyousomuch💖
@@shierenzdepedro8828 I’m happy to know that my videos help!
I had a guest who was signing to her daughter and I was sad I forgot the asl I knew cause I really wanted to sign your welcome to her. If I get lucky enough to come across another guest who uses asl I'll be sure to actually try signing to them.
You will definitely sign with them next time! Watch a video or 2 weekly and it will stick. 👍
Thank you ☺️ love sign language ❤
Thanks for the love!
Going shopping tmrw but I lost my voice, this helps alot tysm
I'm happy to know you saw this in time! Feel better soon.
Very succinct. Thank you! :-)
You're welcome!
I'm excited to learn!!
I love the enthusiasm!
@@ASLLOVE I need to learn hopefully one day I can teach my son. He doesn't speak. Would be nice to be able to know what he is thinking. He has autism. So I pray he finds a way! This could be it!!
Does it matter if you use your right hand vs left for please? Or im sorry?
That’s a great question. You would use your dominant hand. If you are right handed, and you use your left hand, it will not change the meaning, but I recommend you stick with your dominant side. Try it both ways, you will find that your dominant side feels more comfortable.
I like your sign languages Ma'am coz they're simple to follow 🤗
Thank you! I try to make them quick and to the point.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Fantastic stuff. TY
Thank you for watching!
I work in a SEN school and do a lot of sign language but still have a lot to learn
Thank you for learning!
🙂🙂
