[@stormdancer0]

I'm a bit confused - what is the difference between Pantry and Dining Room? Both are food/eat plus room.

[@idk-gy8ds]

@stormdancer0 pantry double taps the eat/food sign, but dining room only has one tap

[@signlanguagegenius66]

OMG. Thank you so much, Meredith! I am actually learning sign language with my deaf teacher. And with your hard work teaching me more feels like I am getting closer to becoming fluent. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@ranopunjabiusavlogs]

Meredith you are giving me hope to understand my daughter and I can’t believe she’s learning about sign language thank you sooo much

[@johnrojas9980]

Meredith, I’m very glad you gave 25 signs of around the home to the signers. They need it badly. Hopefully that you will be making more home signs in the near future. Have a very pleasant week, Meredith. 😊

[@sarahhejab6596]

I love watching your videos, Meredith. I was hoping if you could try to do another asl video for all types of flowers that we see or don't see often. Like roses, sunflower and more. Because flowers are so beautiful at this time season.

[@strawberryberry2000]

Thankyou for all the lessons If I meet some who is deef we can understand each other

[@johnrojas9980]

@Mia. I’m very sure that you will meet the deaf people so you can practice with it. Have a very pleasant weekend. 😊

[@siennaahh3389]

I don't comment often... But I just wanted to share. I'm learning asl and teaching my 3 and 6 year old how to as well just so they have that skill growing up.

[@juffer1183]

Thanks meredith! U supplement some of the stuff i have learned in class and have been my resource if i forgot some. Thanks for explaning as well. Its easy on our perspective if somebody is explaining why it is so. :)

[@janetmedlin6563]

Thank you so much for your very informative videos. I have learned a lot, from just watching your videos and practicing the signs…❤❤

Wow seeing these put into sentences with the word order was so interesting. I've only ever looked up one word at a time 😅

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you so much.

[@silentrunner7283]

Your doing awesome. I love how you add the extra explanation to each hand motion etc. Harder to learn it from books, but when you explain why we are doing these movements, its so much clearer and easier. Have you done Easter, Valentines Day yet? Also do you think you can do more Basic or advanced songs in Sign language? Thanks for your hard work!!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We don't have a video about holidays but that is great idea! Songs are fun but takes a lot of work. That could be fun video idea too.

[@silentrunner7283]

@@LearnHowtoSign I'm hooked on videos where people sign songs, it also helps put words into sentences. Kinda like my friend learned english watching music videos lol Maybe you can start off on small children songs. It helps with learning even basic sign language. My first song I learned sign language to was The Lion sleeps tonight.

[@dianamoncrieffe2468]

Keep it going 😊

[@LearnHowtoSign]

YES!!

[@keeganstaten4459]

When I took the ASL { American Sign Language} class I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know, and I've loved ASL ever since.

[@Sue..]

Support from South Korea 🇰🇷❤💙 Learning ASL is so enjoyable and your amazing videos help me a lot! Thank you sm❤ But it's really hard for me to improve my reception skills because I live in South Korea and have no one to practice ASL with😂 It would be great if we can have more videos for reception skills. 😊❤

[@galetagudar2964]

It's great that people watch these videos from all over the world! American Sign Language came from France, and it is not universal. Keep in mind that Korea has a different alphabet than what we use in ASL. You might want to consider learning Korean Sign Language for you to communicate accurately where you live.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We actually have some exciting news about this coming out next month.

[@Sue..]

@@galetagudar2964 I'm aware of it.😊 I'm learning ASL because it's more enjoyable than Korean sign language for me. I love to learn English.😉 And it was Lauren Ridloff who inspired me to become interested in the sign language!

[@Sue..]

@@LearnHowtoSign Yay🙌🙌 Looking forward to it!🤟❤

[@RayneHiroshi]

Hello! I have just started learning to sign. I love the layout of your videos and the time you take to repeat the sign and point out how to hold your hand and fingers. I have a question. If your dominant hand hurts or is getting tired, is it okay to switch to the non dominant hand?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you for the kind words. Switching hands should only be done if necessary.

[@j011s]

Please always wear clothes that are a dark solid color while you're signing, so your hands are easier to see. I was surprised to see this isn't something your signer doesn't know; also surprised that there are no captions in the video. Thanks!

[@RoxolanaTheArtist]

I turned on youtube's auto closed caption function for myself and luckily it did a really good job because she speaks so clearly.

[@benmart28]

To anyone learning asl this woman is awesome and is hilarious if you actually pay attention to her

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Lol thank you!

[@nobadvibestv]

So many comments I doubt you will see this one. If you ever come across this Meredith, please know I thank you!!...so much for explaining the Deaf culture Grammer.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

I try my hardest to read them all. You are so welcome!

..great page mam ..I work at an airline ..can you create a video with airport verbiage ? ..what’s my gate? ..sir your flight is delayed. ..there’s an issue with your reservation

im am learning sign

[@shantanu13mitra]

Hi Meredith ,your gym in the house sign,is so similar to goofys name sign.

[@briangoodwin7503]

Is FOY-yer actually an accepted pronunciation in some places? I didn't know that. I thought it had to be Foy-YAY. I find that interesting. As always, love the video, and it is now added to my daily study rotation of Learn How to Sign videos.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Lol I think some southerns say for-yer. Glad you enjoy ours videos!

[@erinolsen8915]

Hi! Does anyone know what the difference is between "pantry" and "lunchbox"? Or more specifically, "room" and "box"?

[@mari5868]

This is over a week late but worth a shot. If I were to say, "I like to paint in my garage" how do I specify IN my garage, rather painting my garages walls or something?

[@kaleduff4685]

Hey I’m just wondering is there a sign for side yard?

[@galetagudar2964]

SENTENCE MY FAVE? LAUNDRY ROOM MESS, DO-DO? CLOSE DOOR!👍🏼

[@StrwberryFatou]

i cant find anything helpful on this but is there any specific signs to like warn someone of drills, active shooter, threats, anything that the deaf person may not be aware of/immediately become aware of?

[@RoxolanaTheArtist]

I dont know many signs at all but you could start with the sign for "emergency" by making an "E" sign and shaking your hand like how she showed a shaking "T" for bathroom. I agree though! Emergency/Drill signs would be very useful. Id love to see a video on that as well. I feel that is when we need more people signing the most 😬 Id like to see words for "safe vs not safe" and basic situation explainers. eg there is a fire, robbery, tornado (the most likely scenarios in my area)

[@swahilijs]

I checked out skill share. How much does it cost a month? Thanks.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

I think it's roughly $32/mo. Skillshare is awesome and we do have 2 courses on there. I would totally recommend that route if you're looking to take advantage of the platform as a whole. If you're looking for more content specifically from us I would recommend our own LHTS accelerated membership. It's about the same price and has 3 courses and loads more. learnhowtosign.org

[@nicholejefferson6904]

Did I miss the class you were doing this month?

[@connor_plays_roblox2283]

You should do a video on the basic signs like , look, like, just, what, when, where, their, and etc! :)

[@rachelmartin3574]

Does anyone know of any virtual groups that "meet" regularly to practice signing together?

Hello I have a problem sometimes the translation don't allow me to see the Sign correctly please can I see the video without it😢

[@annpann60606]

The sign for food and eat looked exactly the same. Can you please distinguish

[@jj-fk9ez]

can anyone explain to me why ASL and english do not have the same sentence structure? like, why would they not? why was it made to have such, interesting placement of words? i think thats what makes this language so hard for me, my brain cannot understand how the sentences work. for example, instead of saying "i need water'" you would say "water need me", but, that makes 0 logistical sense. how can water need you? do you see my issue?

[@defectiveaffect]

Well it's the same for every other language, the structure when literally translated doesn't work to be perfect english. For you're specific example there is a video about sentence structure that explains why it's worded like that. But basically ASL is a topic comment language. The topic, what it's doing and it's relation to you or what you're saying. Water is the topic you're referring too, now what about the water? Well it's needed, so who needs it? You. Therefore "water need me"

[@jj-fk9ez]

@@defectiveaffect i mean... i understand that. but why is AMERICAN sign language not like english? i would get it if another sign language from another country did not match up with english. but whoever made ASL the way it is, pisses me off. it is genuinely such stupid wording. and on top of that? people who are deaf, and sign, do not text like they speak. why would it not just be the same shit.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

ASL structure is topic comment structure. Even though it is called American Sign Language it has is own grammar.

[@defectiveaffect]

@@jj-fk9ez Cause it doesn't need to be complicated Like said it is its own language. While there is technical sign (sign language literally word for word of English) it's not used often cause many find it inconvenient (those usually being deaf folks) While yea it does make it a tad more difficult to learn it makes it a lot easier to sign with others for longer periods of time
