Conversational Sign Language | Part 1

[@My-Channel_forever]

I like how you create sentences at the end of your videos.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you. Our goal is you can practice the signs then learn ways to actually use them in conversation.

[@My-Channel_forever]

@@LearnHowtoSign , that technique really helps to feel like you are making quick progress and can use what you learned in the lesson in real-world scenarios!

[@SupremeSpicey6976]

Truly. Each time she says let's start conversations I'm thinking to myself let's not and day we did lol

[@ashleelarsen7765]

@@LearnHowtoSign yes I agree, thank you!

[@TheseWideBrownEyes]

I love how real the sentences are at the end! They are so fabulous. Thank you

[@philipcorbett8726]

Your video's have helped my wife and I so much! I am hard hearing and losing a little bit more hearing every year and even with hearing aids we get into areas that they do not help. Some small amount of ASL has helped us bridge those gaps and build a stronger relationship. Besides, ASL is a beautiful form of communication!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimony. I’m so glad we could be a tiny part of your journey.

[@LaurieCiriello]

I have 2 new co-workers who are deaf. I am really slow at texting and don't like to pull my phone out every time I want to talk to them. Learning a little bit of sign has really helped and they seem to appreciate that I'm trying to communicate using their language.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

I love this! Your coworkers are lucky to have you.

[@mdmantejsingh]

I recently made a new friend at the Sikh temple, and I am finding your videos very intuitive and helpful. We talked for hours in sign language (it was mostly him lol, but I was understanding 👆🏻everything) Thanks, Meredith.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Wow that is awesome!

[@dominiccooper7634]

I have a few deaf customers at work and thought it would be nice to learn some basics to communicate. Ive watch your video series religiously every night for an hour and am finding your lessons so simple and fun to follow! Just finished and mastered the 150 essential, now on to this series! I'm inspired to go beyond the basics and really dive into the language. Thanks for these videos :D

[@Gingermycat]

are you able to put CC on the video's? It would be extremely helpful for the deaf community to know what you are saying, as some of them are learning themselves because of lack of education martial.

[@jillydelarosa]

I've turned on captions within KZbin and they're good captions. I am hearing but like to watch ASL videos on mute.

[@alleyrxse]

@@jillydelarosasame! yes the captions are great

[@JaneiahsBeautyLoft]

@@jillydelarosawhy do you prefer is on mute? does it help more?

[@Agentandwholesome]

@@JaneiahsBeautyLoftI think it’s either to help them get better at understanding signs without listening or js because they don’t want noise on

[@alpinek1tty]

I like to have it on mute too, after I have already watched the video. I would say it helps :P

[@KidOuija]

honestly such a good teaeching style you use. i like the quick paced but slow mo lessons they stick in my mind so well

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Glad you like them!

[@allenquartermane6134]

Your videos have helped me soooo much to use signing as my eardrums were cut to drain fluid from cancer treatments that have left me very hard of hearing, and now try to get store clerks to learn so they can communicate with us in public. The deaf community have been shunned by society because of lazyness to learn signing. It should be a class in schools as mandatory.

[@creatingjoy1567]

This is such a great video, teaching the signs we need and use, not just a bunch of random ones!

[@wephotogal]

Hi, thank you! New sub here. I have a co worker who is deaf and I am trying to learn ASL to communicate. I need to keep practicing! I think she likes that I am trying to learn and communicate with her even though it's so basic. She signs slow for me and helps if I don't know certain signs.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thanks for subbing! And I love you are putting an effort to communicate with your coworker.

[@wolfyonline9007]

I love these videos, ive learned over 80 signs in just about 4 to 5 days!!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Wow! You are rocking this.

[@JuanPaulino-ts9he]

THE BEST ASL TEACHER EVER!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLI.

[@JenniferKirklin]

Thank you so much. I am taking ASL 1 for my degree program and the curriculum offered is awful. I am learning so much from your videos! Recommending to classmates.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Say hi to all your classmates for me!

[@nannygoatbassoonist]

I love this. I occasionally visit my friend's church where she is their ASL interpreter for the small deaf ministry. I would LOVE to be able to talk to one of the sweet older ladies there. I know my alphabet and some words, but not enough to have a conversation. I would imagine it is so frustrating for a deaf person when a hearing person tries to sign and isn't competent. This is a good video for me to work on, especially words like "confused" or phrases like "please sign slowly" would help me so much

[@shealeathers9818]

Thank you for this I’ve been learning asl for a little less then a year and I appreciate this a whole lot.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Happy to help!

[@tver4789]

There is a man at my workplace who is hard of hearing and your videos have helped me communicate with him, thank you!

[@axelff8276]

Soy Mexicano pero me encanta ir aprendiendo cosas nuevas yo con mi edad que actualmente es de 14 estoy aprendiendo lenguaje de señas americano (asl ) y vaya que esto es es mejor

[@mbiraside]

Excellent videos. I'm relearning ASL after 40 yrs, thanks.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you!

[@Betzy1968]

Thank you Meredith ! you make it very clear! Love how you create sentences, that helps a lot. Greatings from Perú!

I'm so glad!

[@cecile7827]

Thank you Merideth you make it easy and fun. I work on a school bus with hearing impaired students. Thanks to you i am able to sign with them a little. Thanks

[@LearnHowtoSign]

The makes my heart so happy and even tear up. You are an amazing person.

[@aanchalmishra2559]

I love how after the one word signs teaching ...in the end you have concluding vedios where you actually use verbs to help it more .....you are amazing ❤️.... thank you ....I am actually doing it for myself ....I like talking to people so it can be anyone ....and I just wanna try it .....this communication actually is beautiful ❤️❤️

[@michelegrimes874]

Always so informative and educational. I am at the beginning stages of learning ASL and these really help. Thank you

[@brianknote216]

All I can is WOW.... This video is awesome and So helpful. I love the explanation of signing.....It really helps me understand. Thank you so much 💓

[@LearnHowtoSign]

You too kind! So glad you are finding these videos helpful.

[@HeyItsMaher]

The effort you put into chapter markers and all that jazz....like. I’m really enjoying these videos.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thanks for the kind words. Our videos take time to produce, but we take pride in making them a highly effective learning resource.

[@HeyItsMaher]

@@LearnHowtoSign since you actually reply and read these, can I please ask you to make a video for the customer service industry? Basic ways to communicate things for people working in retail or food service. Maybe a simple way to communicate a food order or the basics of a transactional sale and fitting rooms? Or like, if a medical responder needs to introduce themselves to someone needing help or stuff like that. That would be very appreciated thanks 🙏🏼

[@HonieBunniwe]

I’m here because my boyfriends mom and stepdad is deaf and I wanna be able to communicate with them ☺️🩷💕 love your videos they are so easy to follow!!!🩷

[@amandaskvarla3981]

I love, love, love your videos. They have been so helpful to me as I am hearing and I have started dating a deaf man, I know it sounds silly but I know that’s my future husband right there. I love the deaf community. Thank you for everything you do❤️

Super helpful, thank you! My kid's deaf and I needed some stuff like this.

[@addy290]

Helpful video! Could you make a video on hand strains or cramps while signing. I’m new to learning ASL and I experience this, but the thing is that I don’t think the issue is my hands.

[@kimolivia-q6w]

[@kimberlyburnett8553]

I really like your teaching you explain everything. Thank you. I’ve been learning asl for a while but I guess I kinda gave up because I have no one to practice with. I just found your channel and am loving it

[@EeliusAstaroth]

Thanks for providing these! Trying to learn sign with my husband. Seems like it would be useful. Especially those who are impaired and use sign to communicate. I like the idea of learning it for both personal and work-related affairs so any amount always comes in handy!

Your videos are so so helpful!! I run an asl club at my school and these videos are great resources! Thank you so much :D

My very first video and think that the conversation signs are really helpful! Thank you!!

[@Donn147]

This helps a lot, because I hate talking, and most of my class can sign so this is awesome

[@palatinepickle9537]

I loved the vid! But could you explain why you pointed again at 7:40 when talking about someone else?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Great question! Pointing at the end it is called a closing signal. This is to show that you are done with your thought, allowing the other person to jump in the conversation.

[@claire.823]

@@LearnHowtoSign I never understood that. Thank you!

[@cassieunedited2871]

Thank you for your videos! I am in school for ASL to learn to be able to communicate with my patients. Could you please do a video on ASL with medical sayings and questions?

[@zoyadulzura7490]

7:23 You sign, "He's happy, but he's sad," and then do another point after that, referring to the second person twice. Is that third "he" necessary every time, or is it optional?

[@ariameyer3909]

Awsome videos! I have a question, though. Do you always have to kinda shake your hand in a circle when you are fingerspelling, or just when you fingerspell the letters for ASL?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Circling the letter when fingerspelling is only some abbreviations such as ASL or USA.
