Learn to sign: BREAK and BRAKE concepts Part 2

[@octaviodiaz1997]

Every new upload I always look forward to it because I know I’m going to learn something new!!

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks so much! It means a lot to know that you look forward to and learn from these.

[@watergazer9010]

My coworker and I decided to spend our downtime at work learning ASL since we have a few deaf signing members at our gym and it's all thanks to your videos!! We practice with one another and watch each of your videos to learn new things. Thank you so much for making these!!

[@ASLMeredith]

How wonderful that you're learning ASL to better communicate with your members at the gym! So great!

[@K8_Is_Awake]

I have my evaluation today for ASL and I’m bingeing your videos! Thank you so much.

[@ASLMeredith]

Hope it went well! 🙌

[@K8_Is_Awake]

@@ASLMeredith I KILLED it! My evaluator was really impressed. I’ll get my certificate soon. I’m signed up for level two starting in the fall! 👍🏻thanks again for your great videos!

[@ASLMeredith]

@@K8_Is_Awake WOOHOO!! Way to go !!! Congrats :)

[@PebbleAmethyst]

So excited to see a new video from you! You're one of my favorite ASL channels on youtube. The difference between your videos and a teacher who is hearing is night and day! Please keep it up!

[@ASLMeredith]

Thank you so much, Alyssa! I appreciate your kind feedback, and I'm glad you find these videos useful. Note that I'm actually hearing (see my 'about' tab), but I do get that feedback a lot that people (including many Deaf people) assume I'm Deaf. Hearing people and teachers vary in their signing skills and teaching styles.

This one is golden, ty Meridith.

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks, Kelly!

To sign emergency break, would you make the sign for "E" and than spell break or is there another way of singing?

[@jy3n2]

Is there a sign for "handbrake" or "accelerate", related to the "brake" sign?

[@rachelandjesseschroeder8241]

Hello. Thank-you for your videos. I really enjoy your channel and have watched many now. You are one of my favorite sign teachers on the internet. Are you able to do a video topic on prepositions? In, out, over, under, on, off, around, about, almost, etc, and then words like many, much? (or not...prepositions are just fine). I'm trying to become as proficient as possible in asl (I have a non verbal hearing preschool aged daughter with a rare genetic condition who is currently unable to talk orally (she may never be physiologically able to talk). She knows/understands hundreds of asl signs and can likely communicate with 150+ signs at the moment). We are unable to sign asl in the traditional way (where the words are rearranged in sentences) because I am speaking while I sign. Hope you can help us. We don't have a young signing community where we live as apparently all children born deaf receive cochlear implants in our city. And because she is not deaf, but still cannot talk, (in spite of being very eager to communicate), we are sort of on our own trying to figure things out. : )

Hi Meredith, i was wondering if you would be able to make a video on ordering, or helping a customer at a bar?

[@ASLMeredith]

Hi, thanks for your request! I have other videos about customers -- none specifically for a bar, but if you can share any vocabulary that would be helpful, let me know! In the meantime, here are two other videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWHVe6iZfbyZitk and kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXTNYoqIZ8inbtU

[@artemisnighthuntress3709]

@@ASLMeredith thank you for the references, I will try to look for the proper bar lingo words. The only words I know at the moment are "dry", and "on the rocks".

[@Fit4KingdomLiving]

THANKS 😊This is a great refresher for me. AS I realized Ugh...I used a sign wrong in a previous video I did. Much success to you.🤟🏽

[@ASLMeredith]

Keep up the good work, Sadie!

[@sarahp.6181]

Hello, Meredith! I was watching a video on baking signs, and you said you can only eat Gluten Free. I can only eat Gluten Free too!! I thought this was cool! 😉😊

[@ASLMeredith]

Yep! :D

[@charlettea.p.kealoha8050]

Lol, I'm using the " broke " when I'm dealing with my husband 🙃Lol..Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii

[@ASLMeredith]

:) Thanks, Charlette! Be well

[@Lanee35]

Hi, hope all is well just wanted to ask if you would be interested and doing a zoom o line class with some of us that want to learn sign language. I have taken sign language classes 1,2 and looking forward to learn more thank you have a great day

[@ASLMeredith]

Hi Jolie, thanks for your interest in taking lessons with me! I no longer offer online tutoring, but I suggest checking out Sign Language Center or other online zoom teachers I suggest at aslmeredith.com/learn-from-home

[@rachealhendrickson5038]

your real good

[@Starcrash6984]

Great video. I really have nothing to say about these signs, but engagement increases views, so here's my comment about nothing.

[@ASLMeredith]

Thank you for supporting my channel and videos, as always! 🥰

[@CassieSpeaksUpGaming]

As a person that is still finding my identity in the Deaf world; thank you for showing some words I didn't know yet.

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks, Cassie! Wishing you well on your journey!

[@stevenkwesi8207]

Hi,I'm deaf,I'm from Ghana. I am excited to watch this video and learn Asl.In Ghana,the deaf people can't use the phrase like 'break out'. Pls Can you sign for break out?

[@airama.9966]

Wahhhh! Thanks! 😁

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks, Bee!

[@Tagraff]

For the "Break it down", use "explain" as you moves downward as if you are going through each bullet points. Top to bottom movement with "explain" sign.

[@markpool1321]

Please slow down the words and signs that you provide as explanations to the new words you are teaching us. Thank you

[@annahoward7949]

Hi, it's Anna again. So I saw in another video you did the break up sign backwards as in you linked your hands with index and thumb in a circle bringing them back together. So the Break-up sign backwards means regrouped or back together?

[@annahoward7949]

I just discovered you have online courses. I will go over there. It's very odd that Rosetta Stone doesn't have ASL.

[@ASLMeredith]

Hi Anna, yes so the general sign CONNECT can be reversed to mean DISCONNECT or -- "break up" , in context.

[@kayliejones5091]

I'm trying to figure out the sign for "I need a break" for my autistic daughter to use at school?

[@alexriggs2815]

I know it's not your genera but could you do a song for me please? It's luke bryan down to one, I can't find anyone to do it for me :(

What's the difference between ☝️ and👆 And how can I say I'm on a romantic date?

[@ASLMeredith]

I show the sign DATE in this other video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnraiqOsp7aEfLM and not sure about your emojis there, but the thumb tucked vs extended is a different handshape and may change the meaning of a sign
