Rainbow Connection in ASL

I'm relearning American Sign Language and this is great practice! I chose this song because it's fairly simple and it's an absolute classic! Hope you enjoy it! :)

I noticed you used your left hand predominantly throughout the song. Does it matter which hand is used for specific words in ASL? I ask because I'm right-handed, and it might be difficult to perform complex movements w/ my left.

Thanks in advance.

@DocWyldeCard - not really. You can use either hand and those who sign should understand it. I call it signing with an accent lol

Random question: Is "wait" just wiggling fingers while "many" is flashing/popping fingers?

[Cynabunnie]

@zellychan That's how I was taught, yes.

This is awesome. I love this song. It inspired me to do a picture of a 3-eyed Kermit the Frog for my website.

[Cynabunnie]

lol I'd like to see it!

You should do a 4-eyed Cynabunnie..

oh wait, nevermind.

Very pretty!

I away loved seeing a song translated into ASL. ASL has alway felt like extracted the symbolizism from words people are used to. I feels like I am seeing the song.

Wow!! Very cool. You can practice on any of my songs ANYTIME!!(:-D

Thanks for sharing the beautiful gift of communication.

Rock on!!!

As You Will...

I LOVE this! I wish I had the patience to learn sign-language.

You're so cool :'D

[MrMerraine]

Although I don't recognise all the signs, I think it's great you're doing this. My wife is deaf, and fortunately knows ASL, so will forward this to her

What's ASL for excellent sweater puppies?

Will you marry me?

I only know a handful of words in ASL, but I decided to perform at a fundraiser doing asl interpretation to a song, and I picked Rainbow Connection, and used your video to help me learn it! (along with checking online dictionaries to double-check, just in case) everyone loved it especially the Deaf audience members and ASL signers. Thanks to you!!!
