You aren't supposed to teach other people how to sign language because you aren't qualified....yes, you heard me right. Qualified and Certified because you only know very little bits of basic of American Sign Language. So, therefore, leave the American Sign Language teaching part to the professional native signers, not you until you are "certified and qualified" to teaching American Sign Language by your own home state or another state where you are currently at. Understand?

@leviathanc The way I see it, I can't "professionally" teach ASL unless I'm certified. I'm not teaching people who are paying for it and are 100% serious about it. I'm doing it for fun, and people who actually watch my videos are learning whatever I'm teaching for fun. Don't go all "legal" on me because it's not my intent to pretend to be professional in any way :) If I was having a class, teaching Sign Language, then yes, I can't legally do that. But this is unprofessional and is for anyone.

I live with a deaf person and most of those sings were wrong and he knows ASL as well as me

[barbaro267]

@nuts2100 They are not wrong. There are many different dialects of ASL. Some are more formal, some are more old-school, some are more English based...and signs change as the Deaf community changes. So what you may see as "wrong" is actually different from what you know. It's like learning Spanish in school and going to Mexico and speaking with the locals. It's just different.

Thank you. Very helpful. I'm a homeschooling mom trying to teach this to my children, but all the tutorials are too fast for them. Very helpful!

@embrysc1 Glad I can help! Any questions you may have, just ask!

@Frubahboi I bet! And when teaching to a class, it could be hard because you're showing everyone the right-handed/armed way, and then you have to DO it backwards for the lefties (doing it backwards feels weird because you're not supposed to sign with the non-dominate hand). lol!
