Practicing your online American Sign Language skills is important. If it wasnt, why would you have signed up to learn in the first place? Many people new to American Sign Language will seek practice time with individuals from their own community. Many people learning sign language are willing to meet with you on a weekly basis in order to improve your sign language skills and become proficient.
If some people know sign language then they can have conversations with each other no matter how high the level of background noise.
After learning American Sign Language you can become a sign language interpreter or get a salary raise in your current job after learning another language.
So there are benefits only to learn it but you should choose the right source to learn it.

It was reported on a Deaf dating site named Deafornot dot c om that 500,000 Deaf individuals in the United States claim American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.

I am glad to see such lessons on You Tube! I was born deaf until the age of 8 as I had surgery to recover my hearing back in the 1960's. But educators did not want the deaf to sign back then. When I attended the school for the deaf back then, I was not allowed to learn sign language. Later in my life I took courses in ASL.

This is a nice lesson for me as a novice signer. Many videos are vocabulary lists, which are clumsy and tedious. Whole sentences are much nicer. Thanks.
If this is too fast for people, there are actual WEBSITES that can help, and you can use a backwards/forwards and slow motion each direction. YES, she IS expressive. With no way to SPEAK the tone / inflection, that is how Deaf people communicate. YES, there ARE books, which you can purchase, and DVDs, so one can look and watch at same time -- THIS if FREE, for which I'm grateful. Am also looking at other sites on here for ASL lessons. What a great learning/teaching tool this is!
i think this is a great video. i'm trying to learn so i can do a basic lesson in my exploring teaching class and for my semester test i'm teaching the other students asl as a lesson. i'm really excited for it.
The people who have a problem with the her or the video, why don't you shut the F*** up, and go look some where else OR pay for a class.you want it free plus you want it to your satisfaction ? wow.. She is offering free help - be thankful! - She is doing a good deed!....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she does look retarded in her facal expressions and i do agree with wickedmoonhine that was way to fast your supposed learn 1 sign language do hicky in 5 minutes not 5 seonds
I think that this is a video made to encourage hearing parents to sign with their deaf children. As such, it ought to be supported. The worst tragedy is hearing parents not recognizing the importance of providing language for their deaf children before they are school age (infancy to age 5). Hearing parents are not told that they must immediately learn and use sign language with their children, and so many might run across this video, and think, "Maybe it's not so hard to learn ASL."
no, it's rude to exaggerate them. if you're deaf, that's great and all but your opinion doesn't represent all deaf people. deaf people can think differently.
i have many deaf friends. they do not find mouthing of words to be rude. it just depends on the context, and whether or not you exaggerate. exaggerating them too much can seem rude, like you're treating someone like a child.
but just mouthing words to yourself while you sign or to help with lip-reading is not considered rude by all deaf.
whoever said she's putting the words in the wrong order is wrong. "Want book you?" is totally fine. as for mouthing words... I have many deaf friends and learned ASL at a DEAF COLLEGE. from a DEAF TEACHER. and i promise you many deaf mouth their words. sometimes it's not accurate though. for example, "fish" for "finish." a friend of mine would say "ah-preesh" for "appreciate." still, it is more professional for HEARING INTERPRETERS to avoid making noise and to not exaggerate mouthing.
not enough facial expression. You have to have that in ASL or else you lose the true meaning of what you are trying to convey. good try but u can totally tell she is hearing just signing. true ASL expresses facial and body. If we dont use true ASL expression and facial we lose our culture we gotta make sure we keep our asl true!
i m deaf myself and i dont do that HAPPILY face expressions... use your common sense! remeber your teaching collage students- not the fucking KINDERGATENS!
I *think* this isn't for college students, but for hearing parents. In which case, perhaps the kindergarten expressions are meant to be encouraging and appropriate for modeling signing with a baby/infant/preschool/kindergartner.
The way she is totally overdoing it with the facial expressions make me feel like she's trying to explain things to a fifth grader. Like, facial expressions are great, but she's overdoing it in my opinion.
I'm not deaf, but i'm trying to learn ASL for when i SCUBA dive. plus i think it's interesting. I only wish that there was breakdown for most of the signs. everything is much too fast for me right now.
I am deaf myself. She is doing a fine job. She has to mouth the words along singing. That is how it is to learn ASL! Facial expressions are also included.
I was told to try and stop mouthing words. I am hearing studying sign language with a Deaf teacher. It's hard to stop! - but it does help to stop thinking in English.
Maybe for some Deaf people yes. But I try to match them. If they mouth a lot, and I know they prefer to see the words on the lips then I match them. However, it's a bad habit for many hearing to mouth more signs than necessary to everyone.. so, it is good to keep it in check. *smile*
Her signs are unclear.. And even if they were.. Isn't it a little difficult to pay attention when someone's teeth are baring holes into your face? I think so. Opinion. Ah!
How is this uncomfortable? You must be new to learning sign language or are used to another way of signing, because her signing is so clear it's crystal.
How is it rude? I thought you were SUPPOSED to mouth the words in case the sign is not understood so you can lip-read. Not that I have the gifts of lip-reading but I don't see anything wrong in mouthing the words.
For ASL mouthing some words is appropriate and part of the language, like fingerspelled words and such. Also it depends on each Deaf person.. it's important to remember that the way you were taught is not the only right way, it's good to keep learning and see how others do things as well.
okay? iv been learning sign language for 6 months..and i never do it like that. shes like saying it backwards ? shes like ride bike want you? maybe im wrong but...??
What do you mean by creepy. Facial expression is very important in ASL. Making faces while signing is essential for the deaf community. Signs and facial expressions are normal in the deaf community. I hope you're saying this because of that
If you think she is too fast, you should see the ASL DVD set. This lady is S L O W compared to that. I am a beginning sign language student and I bought the DVD set to help me with my learning. I think I will get used to the speed as I learn more but it is way too fast for beginners.
However you make a good point. They do seem to get too fast when teaching. There is an ASL dictionary that is helpful because it describes in detail how to make the signs so you can do them at your own speed.
yea actually now tht i've learned a lot of signing these lessons look pretty slow but i stopped only cause i didn't rly hav nebody to sign to so nuthin wus keepin me tied to learnin it u no
Yeah, you're right. You need someone to sign to, to keep it fresh. I just hope I will be able to use it myself. I know of some deaf people in my community, so I will probably try signing to them, to help me keep going with it. My hope is to be able to interpret some day. Hmmm, time will tell.
If you want to learn it more, it would be nice if you could find a connection to keep it going. Deaf people really appreciate it when we try to learn their language.
okay, at least this is a start. I thought I was all tough until two weeks ago; that's when I met a genuinely deaf man at a music concert. My fingerspelling was so inadequate that his wife didn't even recognize my first name.
I felt so awful. My ASL skills extend to being able to sign "ASL" and "Jesus...plays...basketball."
I can spell anything you can say with my fingers, but who wants to sit through that?? With my skills, this could take weeks!
She should have more guestures. For example: Do you like baseball? She shows no gestures like body language. I use to nod yes or no. Do you like baseball? Many people have their different expression in ASL.
dont feel that way i am twelve years old and i had to learn sign language right off the spot because a car accident made me deaf now it wasnt that hard and i learned if you know the alphabet you can spell anything out. i have been deaf for three years now and i am tellg you, you should really learn!
Wow! it's so wonderful to see someone signing proper ASL! I am an ASL instructor, but I do understand the confusion that many hearing students have with the grammar. In ASL the topic of your sentence is always first. The question word is always last, eg. "baseball, you like?" and if you notice she raises her eyebrows. This denotes a yes/no question. When signing a "wh" question (who, what, etc) your eyebrows will go down. It does take some getting used to, but that's true of any language.
"asl techie", can you write me a few sentences in proper asl grammar?? i am teaching myself asl, but i cannot find anywhere to find the correct way to construct an asl sentence. i really do not care what the sentences are. anything that comes to mind will help me soooo much! thanks!
The thing I try to impress on my students most is that in ASL, topic tends to go first (without getting too technical) such as if you are talking about a dog, in Eng it would be "brown dog" but in ASL since "dog" is the topic, it goes first "dog brown". Same goes with verbs, if you say in English, "shut the window" in ASL, with window being the topic you would say "window shut". Eng: I am going to the store, ASL:"Store, I go." Note there are no "the" "a" "and" etc used. Hope that helps :)
sillypizza, try lifeprint(dot)com. It's free and has lots of examples to illustrate grammar and sentence structure, plus some interesting bits of history and Deaf culture.
It's a long story, but I just started high school and there are a lot of Deaf kids that go there. At first, learning ASL began as a joke with me and my friends, because I liked this Deaf guy a lot and couldn't tell him. When I started learning I thought it was a fun thing to do but I wasn't that in to it. As I got into the culture and everything I really started to fall in love with the language. I know it sounds corny but hey...what can I say :)lol! Are you learning ASL??
Hi silly. That's really sweet. A lot of hearing people wouldn't take the time to learn, even if there was a cute guy involved. That's why I asked.
You could say that I am learning ASL. My husband is deaf so I sign every day, but we mostly use signed english. The school he went to didn't teach ASL, and I haven't bothered to learn since I know enough to communicate with him. But there is a big deaf social thing coming up and I was looking for videos to help me brush up a little.
shes going a bitfast too on the ride the bike and baseball thing you dont actually get to see the hand motion exactly and its not explained what it means i mean you get BOOK and BIKE and baseball...but "do you like to" egh
She is signing it in ASL (american sign language) ASL is like other foreign languages (by "foreign" i mean non-english speaking) in that the subject comes before the rest of the sentence.
I don't agree. I'm deaf IRL and I don't think it's stupid if hearing people do not use facial expressions whenever they say something in sign language. I understand that while there are exceptions, most of the time hearing people don't bother using facial expressions.
How do you mean? Using American Sign Language in Australia? No, because Australia already has its own sign language - AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) so they both are different. However, the signs demonstrated in the video above are more or less the same in both sign languages (and even British Sign Language).

This is American Sign Language. The syntax is different from English. She is correct.

What do you mean by creepy. Facial expression is very important in ASL. Making faces while signing is essential for the deaf community. Signs and facial expressions are normal in the deaf community. I hope you're saying this because of that

If you think she is too fast, you should see the ASL DVD set. This lady is S L O W compared to that. I am a beginning sign language student and I bought the DVD set to help me with my learning. I think I will get used to the speed as I learn more but it is way too fast for beginners.
However you make a good point. They do seem to get too fast when teaching. There is an ASL dictionary that is helpful because it describes in detail how to make the signs so you can do them at your own speed.

yea actually now tht i've learned a lot of signing these lessons look pretty slow but i stopped only cause i didn't rly hav nebody to sign to so nuthin wus keepin me tied to learnin it u no
CoonCid 3 years ago
Yeah, you're right. You need someone to sign to, to keep it fresh. I just hope I will be able to use it myself. I know of some deaf people in my community, so I will probably try signing to them, to help me keep going with it. My hope is to be able to interpret some day. Hmmm, time will tell.
If you want to learn it more, it would be nice if you could find a connection to keep it going. Deaf people really appreciate it when we try to learn their language.
Well, good luck to ya!

okay, at least this is a start. I thought I was all tough until two weeks ago; that's when I met a genuinely deaf man at a music concert. My fingerspelling was so inadequate that his wife didn't even recognize my first name.
I felt so awful. My ASL skills extend to being able to sign "ASL" and "Jesus...plays...basketball."
I can spell anything you can say with my fingers, but who wants to sit through that?? With my skills, this could take weeks!

VampireDreamer101 3 years ago 2
She should have more guestures. For example: Do you like baseball? She shows no gestures like body language. I use to nod yes or no. Do you like baseball? Many people have their different expression in ASL.

...Why are her eyebrows up on the first few? Those are just statements...
caecandy 3 years ago
Because they are topics. You are supposed to raise your eyebrows whenever you are signing a topic.

Wow! it's so wonderful to see someone signing proper ASL! I am an ASL instructor, but I do understand the confusion that many hearing students have with the grammar. In ASL the topic of your sentence is always first. The question word is always last, eg. "baseball, you like?" and if you notice she raises her eyebrows. This denotes a yes/no question. When signing a "wh" question (who, what, etc) your eyebrows will go down. It does take some getting used to, but that's true of any language.
ASLTechie 3 years ago
"asl techie", can you write me a few sentences in proper asl grammar?? i am teaching myself asl, but i cannot find anywhere to find the correct way to construct an asl sentence. i really do not care what the sentences are. anything that comes to mind will help me soooo much! thanks!
sillypizzza 3 years ago
The thing I try to impress on my students most is that in ASL, topic tends to go first (without getting too technical) such as if you are talking about a dog, in Eng it would be "brown dog" but in ASL since "dog" is the topic, it goes first "dog brown". Same goes with verbs, if you say in English, "shut the window" in ASL, with window being the topic you would say "window shut". Eng: I am going to the store, ASL:"Store, I go." Note there are no "the" "a" "and" etc used. Hope that helps :)
ASLTechie 3 years ago 2
thanks so much! yes, it helps me alot! :)
if i wanted to say " i have homework. i cant go" would i say " homework i have.[and nod my head] Go, can not" ???
sillypizzza 3 years ago
Yes! That's it, you got it! And the "can not" is just one "can't" sign. Well done - many people have a difficult time picking up that concept. :)

You're very welcome sillypizza. I'm curious, why are you trying to teach yourself asl?
aoibheil 3 years ago
It's a long story, but I just started high school and there are a lot of Deaf kids that go there. At first, learning ASL began as a joke with me and my friends, because I liked this Deaf guy a lot and couldn't tell him. When I started learning I thought it was a fun thing to do but I wasn't that in to it. As I got into the culture and everything I really started to fall in love with the language. I know it sounds corny but hey...what can I say :)lol! Are you learning ASL??
sillypizzza 3 years ago
Hi silly. That's really sweet. A lot of hearing people wouldn't take the time to learn, even if there was a cute guy involved. That's why I asked.
You could say that I am learning ASL. My husband is deaf so I sign every day, but we mostly use signed english. The school he went to didn't teach ASL, and I haven't bothered to learn since I know enough to communicate with him. But there is a big deaf social thing coming up and I was looking for videos to help me brush up a little.

Why are the subjects of the sentences at the beginning of the sentence? I don't know ASL but what your signing looks like, "Baseball, do you like?"
starmist1 4 years ago
Yeah, that's correct- she is signing everything backwards.. I'm deaf IRL and I can tell you I certainly do not sign like that..
icebutterfly213 4 years ago
She is signing it in ASL (american sign language) ASL is like other foreign languages (by "foreign" i mean non-english speaking) in that the subject comes before the rest of the sentence.

I don't agree. I'm deaf IRL and I don't think it's stupid if hearing people do not use facial expressions whenever they say something in sign language. I understand that while there are exceptions, most of the time hearing people don't bother using facial expressions.

Jennieexx 4 years ago
How do you mean? Using American Sign Language in Australia? No, because Australia already has its own sign language - AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) so they both are different. However, the signs demonstrated in the video above are more or less the same in both sign languages (and even British Sign Language).
