    Greetings, Farewells and Introductions are among the first signs one needs to know when communicating in ASL, American Sign Language. You’ll use these signs in nearly every ASL conversation you’ll have. There are about 25 signs that we go over in this video before learning a few sentences that you can immediately take with you. We’ll even cover some slang. Don’t forget to Subscribe!

    We just learned that my 3 yr old grandson is mute, on the autism spectrum (he understands us perfectly in speech but cannot communicate/speak back, he is not HOH or deaf) and thus learning sign language - my husband and i are committed to learning ASL so we too can understand him as he ages. Thank you for all your videos, they are so easy to understand and thoroughly explained with a ton of helpful hints - grateful you're here!

    I’m loving learning ASL. I practice all
    throughout the day. Even when I’m
    watching television sitting down. Also.
    I show my parents and practice their
    names. I have also done other family
    member names. I also will use the
    mirror to see myself signing. It’s
    really neat seeing it back! 🤟🏻
    -------------------
    P.s. One thing I love about the
    videos is that I can go back and
    watch them over and over again
    as many times as needed. I can
    go at my pace. Rewind and fast
    forward, and stop at a certain
    point. I’m 51 so my mind isn’t all
    that so I need refreshing. It’s so
    good to have these videos. God
    bless ya!

    Hello. I am a recovering alcoholic. I quit learning sign when my drinking problem got worse. I used to watch a lot of your videos when I was still trying to learn and have recently begun watching them again as I drink less (With the goal being to eventually quit, I guess. I don't think I can drink without making it a weekly or daily thing like most people, and if I continued to drink I would prefer to at least keep it to the weekends and I just don't think I can.)
    Anyway keep doing what you do because I work with the disabled population and would like to learn asl in case I ever encounter a client with hearing issues or who is nonverbal and knows asl. Also, you can't remember anything from these videos if you watch them while drunk, so I can't drink/be drunk while attempting to learn, so this goal is actively helping me to cut down on the drinking. Thank you.

    I start my college ASL 1 class next week and I have never used or been exposed to ASL prior to. Your videos have really eased my nerves going into the class and I'm starting to feel confident on the basic signs/alphabet because of you and your content! Thank you so very much!!

  • @YT4Brenda
    @YT4Brenda Рік тому +4

    I love how you give a simple explanation for why the signing is how it is instead of just showing the sign itself. Makes way more sense that way imo 😊

  • @erikae2100
    @erikae2100 3 роки тому +25

    I really don't know how to thank-you. I was getting so bored learning asl. I gave up. I found you on youtube and I am so excited to learn again. I did all 6 150 first words in an hour. Now rewatching all your firsts and this vid too. I can't learn from deaf on-line because I need explanation. Thank you again. You are great!

    • @LearnHowtoSign

    Hi, I love all your vids. I'm a beginner and I'm learning for my son, he's non-verbal autistic and may never be able to speak in sentences so I'm learning asl to teach him. He's a toddler now, are you able to make a vid for parenting commands/instructions for parents with toddlers... with words or phrases such as sit down, brush your teeth, time to get ready for bed be careful playing put that down or back, lol of course the list can go on lol, but his doctors and therapists want him to learn to follow instructions to prepare him to behave and follow instructions at school with teachers. please and thank you

    Thank you for these videos. You are a life saver. I have been a preschool teacher for 25 years and I am currently taking courses for an additional endorsement on my licensure for Early Childhood Special Education. I am working with 2 deaf children this year. I have spent much of the summer learning as much ASL as I can; most of which comes from your videos. Neither of these children have been exposed to ASL. We have two other people who will be working with these children. One is their case manager. The other is a deaf/hard of hearing teacher, who is also deaf. She gave me a name and I'm very proud of it. As a Native American, it is a great honor when someone gives you a name. I have, in the recent past, suffered a massive amount of hearing loss from labrynthitis. I am also a veteran of the US Army so I suffered hearing loss from being in Field Artillery for 12 years. Thank you again.

    I’m a mental health tech trainee and I’m novice in ASL. We have a lot of individuals with developmental disabilities. There are some deaf, some blind, some that aren’t verbal that signs things they want or need. We take our SLPI test in a few months but I like learning different languages even if it’s just a few words in one language. I and advance in Spanish and was beginner in ASL but learning more every day. Yes we get a raise for passing the test but I want to learn only cause I like to be able to communicate with the individuals I’m helping and to teach my daughter and niece since she doesn’t talk. She’s almost 3 and my niece is 5; both with disabilities. But I subscribed to learn more on my own and practice cause even the little tips helps a lot

  • @jlmurray2025
    @jlmurray2025 Рік тому

    I am so glad you showed how to let a deaf person know that you are learning how to sign. I ride the bus with a gentleman who is deaf and am taking ASL so that I can communicate with him.
    I am watching your videos to enhance what I have already learned. I am finding ASL to be fun but challenging.

    I keep not practicing every day like I should, but I'm so thankful for the way these are broken down. I go through my notebook at my night job and practice everything I've learned so far before moving on the next video. I'm so thankful as an autistic who goes mute, but my area also has a large deaf community and I'd like to be able to communicate on their terms when they show up at my work, my own regret is not learning sooner

    I'm trying to learn, and these videos are so super helpful!!! I love them and they are easy to follow. My only issue is im still trying to understand sentence structure. I watched one of your videos about it and thinking im starting to get it down but then i try to put it into use when you are doing these kind of videos and give us examples and i never seem to get it right 🤦‍♀️ any tips on sentence structures? Or how would you tell a deaf person that you're learning asl, and for them to please sign slowly?

    Just a friendly tip: to place the sign "to see" before " see you later".

    Quick question on the closing signs. You signed, I hearing, I. Then, I learning ASL, I.
    So is the closing sign for each sentence, or at the end of what you are saying to indicate you are done and it is the other person’s turn, like on a newscast, “Over to you, Brian.”

    • @LearnHowtoSign
      @LearnHowtoSign  3 роки тому +5

      Lol love your explanation. And yes, the closing signal is showing you are completing your thought. You can also close the sentence at the end by point back when indicating a question.

For the "how" in "how are you?", it looks like there is a slight variation. Is it more polite to use the twisting motion or both thumbs together?

    Thank you for your amazing videos. I've recently started learning ASL and your videos are the most helpful.
    Also, a question, at 6:24 , you explained that only a deaf person can give you a sign name and it's a very special thing in deaf culture. So does that mean for example I as a hearing person shouldn't do it? Is it considered offensive?

    Hi! What would be the proper way to sign "give regards to" ? Thanks!
