Learning how to Introduce yourself in American Sign Language Part 3 of 4. In this video I teach basic phrases and questions to sign when initiating a conversation. Such phrases include: "My name is...", "Whats your name?" "How are you", basic emotions or feeling to respond with and "Nice to meet you!"

@jazzayfashion, you have GOT to be joking. That is insane. Please do not talk for all hearing people. The best way to learn ASL is the "gold standard" of language immersion. That means no voice. That means pure ASL, preferably taught by a Deaf person who is fluent and culturally Deaf. Signs represent concepts or ideas, they have nothing to do with spoken English words.

@jazzayfashion This is part of the problem. Hearing people thinking that we Deaf people are incapable of teaching our own language. Who would you rather learn English from - those who are fluent in English and grew up with it, or from someone who is from another country and speaks very little English themselves? The ASL student who made these videos is NOT fluent in ASL and is only teaching bits and pieces of the language (inaccurately too). This is NOT the correct way to learn ASL.

@byufanatic if I want to learn how to speak English, I'll get a normal teacher, you know who does not grow up any English land, America or England or whatever the place. That is fine with me if she/he got enough experience to teach the language. But let's say, I step up advance level... well, this is the time that I look at who are fluent in English. So, deaf ppl are the masters of ASL, you need to time to have ASL lessons from them. And for the beginners, I don't think that it is the wrong way.

@MommyforGod Thank you very much for your advice!!!

[MommyforGod]

@dramachiky97 she signed her name is Kristen...it is a LOT harder to receive sign than to sign yourself..especially since native signers are so fast! If there is someone you can practice with, that really helps..I've also found sites in the past that fingerspelled random words for you to read, and you could adjust the speed at which they signed..unfortunately, that was years ago and i don't remember the site url, but you could google and try to find something similar
