This is definitely the best video I've seen on how to sign. You explain it very well and show us the responses. I have a deaf neighbor so I wanted to learn to sign how are you. I officially signed and she responded with exactly what you showed. She teared up, and wrote on her phone , "how did you learn that" I told her I learned it just for her. I'm going to practice more.

I’m a bartender and I just started learning basic conversation signing and different alcohol sign language just in case someone that is hard of hearing comes in my bar. I think everyone should at least learn basic ASL. It’s so important. Thank you for this!

One of the most beautiful languages in the world. Thank you for sharing

I am here to learn sign language because I have a regular customer that comes into my work who is deaf and I really don’t want her to feel left out. So seeing this video makes things a lot easier since I don’t know where to begin when learning ASL

most intelligent part of this lesson is you also teach how to respond to 'how are you'. thanks. great video

I have a guy that I'm his supervisor and thumbs up and down get us through so much and believe it or not we have a great time and interactions using almost just those and he loves that I try so if you're struggling with communicating with someone don't give up and don't get stressed just care enough to try and remember you might be the only one putting up any effort for that person even if your not great at what you are doing it will be appreciated. Also thank you for taking the time to do these videos and all the extra shots from all sides really helps

Thanks for your help. I noticed a man signing in his phone at a coffee shop. I decided to learn how to say "good afternoon, have a nice day and take care". He was shocked when I said those things to him. The smile on his face as he repeated what said was a million dollar smile!! I feel like they are so alone and isolated because no one soaks their language..so I decided to try and engage another person. It seemed small, but it wasn't. Inside I felt so sad. Now I'm determined to have a conversation!! Thanks so much for taking the time to help.. it pays forward in friendship!!!

Absolutely love this , I have a deaf couple that comes into my work & all I had learned was thank you. Now I can at the very least ask how they are & I think it will make their day bc they were so happy when I remembered how to sign thank you!

I appreciate watching this so much, I’ve recently become eager to learn sign language for customers as well as a co-worker I have and these everyday motions are going to be very helpful with starting a conversation or greeting someone so thank you for being clear and repeating your motions!

Came here because I’ve got a deaf coworker!, Thank you!

These videos are great! Please keep teaching! 💕 I work at an urgent care clinic and wanted to finally be able to communicate with my deaf patients, this has helped a lot :)

I love your videos. I’m learning ASL and I’m trying to watch at least 1 of your videos a day for a year!

Can I just say how ridiculously good you are… I’m learning sign language as I believe it’s a useful life skill and should be mandatory for everyone to learn.. HOWEVER, you are absolutely amazing and I’m learning so quickly because you are incredible!!! 🤗

Great visuals!! My little one is hearing impaired, so I'll be watching a few more of your vids to help me, for sure.

I love that you included that fact that its ok if you forget, that its ok to ask thumps up or down. Sometimes the fear of signing the wrong sign could prevent people from interacting at all. Thank you for the educational video.

This is really helping me, I have a friend at work who I'm trying to communicate with, she's also helping me to understand ASL

I love and appreciate your videos 🤟🏼

Thank you so much for your videos , I’ve learned a lot. 🤟

As always, fantastic teaching! Thank you!

thanks, i was totally green but now can greet someone.

I have a deaf couple that come into the store I work at and this is going to be the start of my ASL journey!

Love this! I help my child with speech to better communicate. Asl helps him out alot...thanks

Your teaching is a gift.

today i was out with my mum at a park, and we saw this man in his ice cream van, we ordered two, and luckily i already know how to sign thank you.. you can't believe the joy that he felt, he was astounded that i knew it. his eyes widened and a super sweet smile was drawn on his face!!. so I'm here to learn more if i went there and found him again. and maybe make other people's days better ❤️

I’ve learned so much here. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this video. I have a Co worker who signs. And because I use a mask most of the time at work, I'm not able to mouth things to them. They were so happy when I started signing (hello - how are you?). I'm excited to learn more from your videos and grow a better friendship with him.

thank you so much you are a good teacher

Great information about seeing it with one hand.

This is helping me out so much thank you!!

Yeah I got a new co-worker and she's deaf and this had been so helpful

You can also use commonly used and understood hand gestures like "👌"

Thanks for making it short and simple

I'm subscribing immediately and teaching everyone around me. I am so tired of screaming at HOH people through an N95.

I'm fine thank 4 ur hands

My opinion on this video: Helpful She explains it very well easy to do fun nice! My opinion on sign language: fun!! Easy in some cases a good thing to know how to do so yah its good to know Sign language because what if You stumble and do someone who's deaf And only speak sign language it would be good to be able to answer back cause otherwise what would you do walk away that's rude so sign language is important and fun! I'm going to sign language classes at my church! And I thought it would be good to use these vids to teach me so next class I could show my teachers! So ty! Btw this picture on my comment the Profile picture thing whatever it is is not me that's my mom...❤

Great video, easy and short. I'm going to teach my sister who had a stroke and is speech impaird.

This was great. Thanks 🙏🏻

Im a school bus monitor and my kids which range from middle to high school sign, however i dont because for a monitor is not a requirement (thing i will speak about to my boss) My point is i seen your videos today and was able to comunicate with most of them with at least the basics and i wanted to thank you and Bless you!❤

Thank you!!

Your lessons are great for learning. Amd i can at least hold intelligible conversations in sign now. But i have a bit of an issue in that every ASL video ive seen on YT (not just yours) is all conversational things. Things thats would come up in a conversation between friends or coworkers, or two random people, customers etc. Im trying to be able to sign a demonstration at the wildlife rehab and educational center for a deaf family since ive noticed theyre trying to lip-read. One, its hard to lip read when you're in the audience and not face to face and two, they're missing a lot of the fun parts because their focus is on my face instead of the animals. We also have a bunch of non-verbal and/or deaf kids come through on field trips that usually end up hanging out at the back awkwardly because lip-reading is a learned skill and i dont have the words in sign language to properly convey what I'm verbally saying/explaining. I know they must exist, theyre common enough words, they just arent things that generally pop up in everyday conversation so i cant seem to find videos on them.

Thank you very much!!!!

this was a cool video to watch thank you

I work at a grocery store and it doesn’t happen very often but sometimes we get deaf Or customers who are head of hearing and I want to be able to communicate with them even if it’s just asking how they are

I'm glad I found this video. I was just talking to my daughter about how I feel like sign language should be mandatory in schools. I just wish I had the money to actually attend a full class 😕

Fine looks exactly like "You're Welcome"

Question!? I would like to learn sign language but I was wondering if for some work! Does it matter what hand you use!? Are there some works that can only be said with the right hand only(example)?

I started a new job in a fruit and meat market and have two regular customers who struggle with communicating what they want. By using simple phrases that are taught here, the customers seek me out for service behind the meat and deli counter. I feel a connection with these people as my hearing has started to disintegrate. I've learned that the emotions behind sign language are key. While I cannot keep up with a sophisticated q&a, I can at least communicate with a smile, and a thumbs up. And with these videos, I can start to connect at a deeper level with my customers. Thank you so much for you content.

Hello. First let me say, thanks for the information! I'm a bartender and like to try and make an effort to learn a few gestures to make guests feel more welcome. I tried to give a hearing-impaired gentleman the "your welcome" sign that I saw on your channel and he laughed and informed me I was signing "It's fine". Then he showed me like a semi-cupped hand, palm to the sky, towards his chest. He let me know that was thank you. Could you by chance clarify this for me? Thanks again. I want to make people feel welcome and appreciate any help.

you are amazing... you have given me some practical abilities to communicate with my friends who has lost there abilities to speak and hear along time ago.. the surprise of me learning these methods and them getting to speak to them again.. made them cry. thank you so much.. i look forward to watching and learning more from you. pray that you keep teaching signs.. so i can keep surprising them every step of the way... from CULLAM89

Hey Dana. I have started to teach myself ASL and your videos are very helpful. But I was wondering. I know ASL sentence structure is a little different from English sentence structure, of course, and a few minute words are omitted. Even though 'are' is omitted in the question 'how are you?', why does the sentence have to be 'you how?' in ASL? Do you always have to change the order or could you just say 'how you?'

🤟 too

I have a customer where I work who is deaf and I really wanna learn ASL to be able to help him better

wow ok I think you should do are you😁 good

good job!

I have not seen much of your videos, from what I have viewed I like what and how you illustrate the signs and describe the motions and the variations. But I do not see you explain the facial expressions that go along with the signs? I do know that you can’t sign “nice to meet you” and have a dull frown on your face! Maybe I need to watch more, which I will do as the days go by. But great job and thanks for all your work.

My first sentence is: Hi good morning. Nice to meet you how are you

Does it matter which hand you use when you're only using 1?? There's a deaf girl at this store i visit alot who checks me out, I'd like to Communicate with her somewhat but i know nothing about sign language

Hey can you is the food good or how is the food in sign language

Hello was wondering if you could make a video on signing marine animals? (ex: pufferfish, shark, whale, sea turtle)

noice

I have seen that "how are you:" sign in two other different ways. Would all the three forms be linguist variation

How to sign will be and will

I see the shadow moving ?? 😮 Great Vid tho

Ok

Where I am not fine

Is it american or british

1:01

Why is ‘are’ omitted?

I have a Deaf coworker and I want to learn to talk to him :)
