This seriously needs more views!! Thank you so much for helping me and others. I am actually a 12 year old deaf girl and you have taught me so much when nobody else could. Thank you.

[@Charlotte_OMahony]

I love learning sign just to be able to communicate and I may be a interpreter when I’m older so I definitely love this channel

[@sophiaervin3554]

I agree! I love learning ASL and because of these videos, I want to be an ASL teacher when I grow up! No other channel can top this one! Thank you for all you do! ♥

[@santino5873]

Thank you so much for these videos. While my family and I are not deaf, we still wanted to learn another language and these are so fun. Once a day when the kids come home we all sit and watch one video.

[@nalatie7104]

I love your page! Just discovered it, do you have or have considered a quiz type video? Like showing a sign and or word and giving us a few seconds to guess / sign it! I’m a beginner and feel like this would help a lot! Thank you for your videos!! I have always wanted to learn ASL

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We have plans to make future videos in the form of quizzes.

[@peacefullymonique]

I want this so bad too!!!

[@signlanguagegenius66]

OMG! I might be teaching American Sign Language. All thanks to you. Without you, I wouldn't know all of the things that I am learning. Thank you soo much for your support and help. Keep learning how to sign.

Thank you so much for all of these amazing videos! As a physical therapist, I have been watching so many of your videos to better help those I treat and work with in and around the clinic. Your videos are making a big difference in helping me to communicate with others! I love watching all of these videos, practicing, and learning this beautiful language. Thank you so much!

[@warrenstaben6166]

Thank you Meredith and crew. Another great video that I can now add to my learning routine!!!

Ive just started watching these videos and I have learned a few things. I enjoy your teachings. Thank you for helping join the deaf worldliness hearing world together. I maybe able to hear but want to be be able to communicate with people who cannot hear. Thank you again

[@tracyneal6438]

Thank you for teaching us your gift. I have wanted to learn ASLmost of my life , but could never get out of my comfort zone. Our grand children showed me you tube and I found your program 💜

[@wandagrissom2061]

Thank you for this 2 week introductory opportunity. ASL is not completely new to me as I have a deaf/HOH son. I especially enjoy the way you present each sign and sentence. Please keep up the presentations/teachings. Again, thanks

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you!

[@Charlotte_OMahony]

I love this channel so much because it helps me and teaches me so much so that I am much more well fit to communicate with deaf people. I also have to get my ear checked out because something is wrong with my right ear drum and I always get a rumble noise whenever something is clattering or not even noisy just anything really. Even if I flush the toilet or turn on the sink.

[@Kennikus]

Along with all the amazing help you're giving here I just want to say I love your tops and make up combos lol!

[@captainobvious2472]

I am new to ASL. I love your videos as they are simple to follow and you are easy to watch. I am not deaf and I do not know any deaf people. I am starting to lose my hearing and I will most likely need this skill when I am older. This is one of the reasons I decided to start learning while I can still hear. Thank you for doing these videos.

[@emmawildervanck]

This is soooo great! Thank you

I am in love with this channel. Thank you so much for your videos! I really want to learn sign language again. My mom taught me when I was around 4-5 years old, but I stopped once I was 7. I mught have forgot everything. That was 14 years ago, I wonder if it even a small chance I'll remember any of it.

One of the greatest relationships possible, Is the deaf with the blind. It is powerful in a way that floors you. Nothing like it in affinity.

[@southidasithivongxay7682]

I'd love it if you could you do some videos on Adjectives to describe things and people? (Beautiful, ugly, noisy, quiet, smart, solid, liquid....) Keep making these GOOD STUFF! Your videos made signing sooo fun to learn.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Great suggestion! Thank you.

Hi, can I ask for some help? Is there a sign that I can use with one hand to sign "port" and "starboard" as I help train a hearing-impaired sculler?

[@samanthalanglais1858]

I was born mostly deaf from birth with no bone to conduct sound in my right ear however it's really truly and seriously cool to know that someone is taking the time to teach others A.S.L ..... n_n

[@CindyCerberus]

I would love to see an asl video for librarians or at the library!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Great suggestion.

[@rebekahandjoshsnedegar5172]

Are you planning on making any more courses on skill share? I already finished your first course and loved it. Thanks

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We currently plan on releasing a new course every 6 months, but these subsequent courses will be quite a bit more elaborate. So unfortunately you’ll have to wait a little ☺️ There is also a chance that we’ll post those courses directly to our website. I do think we’ll continue to post smaller courses and exercises to Skillshare and reserve that platform for our introductory material.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thanks for checking out our first course! Glad you liked it 🥳

[@stevegreenism]

I have had a learning disability all my life in fact I didn't graduate high school because of this. Now, I would love to learn to sign, but my brain won't retain all of this.But I think I'll keep watching this because I love it.

[@peppatv4334]

Please do more on how to communicate with kids at school or when trying to communicate with a stranger (who's deaf and who might need some help)

[@1089jmart]

Can y’all do a video on scuba diving signs?

[@AcousticMain]

When you’re doing agent marker, do you sign the word for example, Law, and then do the agent marker motion hands going down at your sides? Or is it different for every word?

[@fuzbcuz7613]

Thank you for this video and all of your instructional videos! I'd like to ask: how does one differentiate between 'mechanic' and 'plumber'. Say your spouse comes home and you'd say "Honey, it seems like we need a plumber...." In sign, would this require further context as the only way to differentiate or could one sign 'toilet' as well?

[@jessicapetronis9298]

Is there a different sign for the title “Doctor” of a nonmedical Doctor (Ph.D)? Seems it would be confusing to use the sign you show as it obviously conveys a medical meaning. Also wondering if there is a sign for psychologist?

[@malinanajera8997]

Thank you! Love the videos ❤ Question: why doesn’t policeman or fireman get a agent marker? Is it because they already have the word man in it?

[@ATHARVAGAMER01]

Hello ma'am love your videos here again after back after a while from last video I would like to correct you that in chapters you have wrote the spelling "Entrepraneur" Instead of *Entrepreneur Hope I become fluent in sign language as I'm just a beginner Thank you for such a great style of teaching you are offering us through your Channel 😊😀

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you so much for catching that! We appreciate it.

[@andreivivas4480]

Hi, quick question. What's the difference between plumber and mechanic?

[@christinapatterson6382]

Do you need to do the signs from the video like a mirror image or the opposite for the hands? I’m getting confused on dominant hand and non-dominant hand positions.

[@eboogie2000]

If you are Right handed that's your dominant hand.

[@flamer1411]

I work in public safety. Could you do a video for emergency personnel like EMS, Firefighters and police officers?

[@Panicked228]

I didn’t notice an agent marker after “pastor.” Is this an anomaly or should there be an agent marker? Love the videos!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Pastor does not need an agent marker.

[@deannakrause8629]

Do you have a video on things father and sons might do?

[@womptista]

I see this video is about 1 year old. Is there a sign for Paramedic or EMT or do they just have to be spelled out?

[@camchau7850]

Is there a sign for sailor?

[@isabelchavez9643]

10:51 so "Pastor" doesn't come with an agent marker?

[@gardeniagirl1374]

Hello Meredith, For "When I graduate, I'm going to become an optometrist," why is it GRADUATE FINISH... instead of SCHOOL FINISH?

[@sherylshannon3660]

What would the sentence structure be to sign: "my friend's brother is a pilot" ?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

I would sign it MY BROTHER, HIS FRIEND, PILOT

[@sherylshannon3660]

[@siucracos]

It's important to say that some of these signs have regional differences. Also, no one signs COMPUTER that way. WAITPERSON has a sign too. It honestly looks like you got these signs from an outdated book

[@LearnHowtoSign]

This could be the case that some of my signs are regional. I live in the south. I began learning 20 years ago from CODAs, hearing and deaf professors.
