Sign Language 101: Greetings & Etiquette

[tpolk21815]

I wanna ask where did you learn these signs ??

most of the signs you had done is WRONG!!

for a please... you are supposed to say it on your chest not your upper near shoulder.

for good morning, you are supposed to use your palm just like you used GOOD sign language, same for good night, but you are supposed to go all the way down over your hands

you got to check your signing before you post youtube. you are offending us deaf for sure!!

thank you for trying but do it right way.

[JBJBneversaynever]

@tpolk21815 They said they're not professionals and not to take anything they teach too seriously, no need to scold them... (unless you actually ARE deaf and didn't hear them say it, in which case I'm sorry, but still no need to be rude...)

[tpolk21815]

@JBJBneversaynever

Yes, Im deaf, otherwise, I wasnt trying to be rude here, I am actually telling do the right way. Like I asked I wanted to know where they learn these signs. They are actually trying which is GREAT, but posting on youtube is kind of offending and spreading the viewer the wrong signs which is outreagous!! Its not acceptable. I just wished they had professional to be taught before posting on youtube. PERIOD!!

[SadisticChild98]

Could anyone help me...i'm trying to learn sign language and i learnt the alphabet from another video, but the movements are different for the ones she did for her name...? This may be a stupid question...but like...what's up with that? Is there the other one wrong?

Thankyou :)

[abigaelruth23]

@SadisticChild98 These people aren't native speakers. I would go to Prince16greg's page.

[missmeridian1]

this is asl is it?

[PreciousKid244]

Pause it on 2:51, lol! You're funny and a good teacher

[handinhandtogether]

You have the sign for "you're welcome" wrong. You use that for like inviting people. If you wanted to say "You're welcome" in reply to "thank you", you would sign "true," "no problem," or "nothing to it." You were also off with "thank you." It's more fluid if you put your hand flat to your chin and lowering it straight down, not in an arc. :D

[MsAnonyumous]

This really helped me alot i can do atleast all the words in one day try this out it is really affective and i am only 12! :)

[anghellika]

"good morning" sign is difficult T_T

[spinemelter2000]

Is it crucial that you fingertips start at your mouth at the beginning of "thank you"? That gesture looks like an obscene gesture (I don't remember which one) that people do, except it starts at your throat, and you move the back of your hand toward the other person. 

[elsiemasters]

i got good bye so hopefuly you did that with sarcazum

[xXxBlackRainbowzxXx]

I learened things a bit diffrently then you did but i enjoy using these as review! Thanks!!!!

[DizzyDaisyz]

1. Very nice, but one thing I maight point out if you don't mind. You need to use facial expressions, if you don't sometimes people wont be able to understand you. You may feel as you said "creepy" or "weird" But it's perfectly normal. (: Good job guys (:

[Godsgirl13100]

@iheartjimbbyx me too

[iHeartJmBbyx]

I know a little and I'm getting confused lol.

[Accioglee]

"Good" comes all the way down, and if you really wanted to make it clear, have your dominant hand come to rest in your nondominant one, palm up.

"Thank you" just kind of stops in midair. It is also a little more centered.

If you mouth words while you speak them, and use the signs in the correct context, a deaf person, or anyone who knows sign language for that matter, would be able to tell the difference.

[65736274735645643756]

what is the difference between good and thank you? answer appreciated ^^

[aslgirl321]

This is a really good channel!! sub mine i just made it!

[MadonnaFan2000]

you said i guessed `Goodbye` wrong, I did NOT ;) Ha 

[MutimirRX]

Thankyou I have to learn this in order to communicate with my son. So much I have to learn

[alddeanov]

i guess goodbye right, but she said wrong. i'm confused

[IyishaJC]

for good and goodmorning do you put your other hand out, so your first hand touches it ? because it kind of looks like thankyou.

[chloegantzel]

This is so cool!! Thank you so much for posting these, ASL is amazing!!!

[Bridgetowalk]

@ronaslmo I should note that I try not to do the "poses" I mentioned, but once in a while even I catch myself doing something. For example: I used to have a "bad" habit of lacing my fingers together while watching other signers, and my students picked up my "bad" habit, so I had to correct that.

[cynthia200able]

Thank you nd good are the same thing

[bigbinch]

by the way you spelled your own name wrong

[bigbinch]

you guys should really take a class or something cause you missed a lot, and it more then just learning the words, there's sentence structure.then theirs nmm(none manual markers) with that it mostly bodylanguage and facial gestures but i too much to put into a 2-5 min. segment, i know you said your not pro.'s but maybe leave it to the pro.'s. sorry if sounds harsh.

[TheTarynElise]

@bigbinch yeah you're right... Sentence structure is different and these signs are a little bit confusing.. It's honestly hard to teach sign unless you've actually communicated with a deaf person.. Because you don't understand the things that are most important. Without facial expressions and eyebrows some deaf people can't even understand!

[MissLauraLizzie]

is this the same as british sound language?

[EthnicEnclave]

It would help if you didn't hold your stomach with your hand and if you stood further away, some of it gets cut off, besides that great job:)

[SharksRule567]

i love the intro! lol

[syncroMolly]

ok this video is not correct sign language no one listen to them they only got one right they suck!!!!!!!!

[t0xicwastechick]

i learned thank you differently... i learned that you put your hand on your chin then move it forward =(

[pastry14]

Nice vid.! Now ? Does It Matter which hand you start off with, like if youre left handed or right.?? and do your hand goes on your stomache for any of these cause you also have your hand on your stomache for please..?

[alegitproduction]

@pastry14 doesnt matter left hand or right handed. what ever you are comfortable with. but stick to one

[alegitproduction]

@pastry14 doesnt matter left hand or right handed. what ever you are comfortable with. but stick to one

[pepperannful]

If your going to do something do it right

[onewayroad1]

iiiii have seen diffrent ways of saying ALL of theese lol

[bigbinch]

@onewayroad1 that is because in differnt location the signs are differnt but in this case it was just not the best,they unsed many locations instead of one. and did the almost all wrong

[kayealfresco]

I think you mean 'you are' or 'You're' welcome...

You're welcome.

[ronsalmo]

for you're welcome, do we have to put but hands on our belly?

[SignLanguage101]

@ronsalmo no.

[Bridgetowalk]

@ronsalmo No, it's just a personal pose. Some people have a habit of folding their hands together after words or sentences, and others simply drop their arms to their sides for whichever hand is inactive at the moment. It sometimes just depends where they are comfortable. None of these are "wrong" really, though can be confusing or distracting to a person not used to seeing it happen. In my experience, styles can vary as much as vocabulary habits.

[tpolk21815]

@ronsalmo

NO!! do not put your hands on your belly. She is doing it kind of bad

[Jimcrv]

oK... "Good morning" in signe language is a bad gesture here in portugal... (don't now if there it is too) xD

[SignLanguage101]

@Jimcrv hahahahhaha

[Sam10140onCP]

@Jimcrv same thing in Brazil XD

[Sam10140onCP]

@Jimcrv same thing in Brazil XD

[Jimcrv]

@Sam10140onCP xD

[spinemelter2000]

@Jimcrv The second gesture in "good morning" looks like "up yours." If they're different, what is the difference? I'm not trying to be funny. I just want to make sure I don't say something obscene when I try to say good morning.

[Jimcrv]

@spinemelter2000 the only difference is that you have your left hand fist closed when you bring your arm up. But I kinda think it's a thing from my country.. or an european thing in general, not sure... but I think you won't have problems with it, don't worry xD

[TiffanysKewlWorld]

I am so entertained with these sign language videos...and I'm actually learning stuff.

[SignLanguage101]

@TiffanysKewlWorld YAY!!!!!!!!
