Sign Language Around The World

[@westonmalama886]

It's good. We also use same part of American Sign language(asl) in Zambian Sign language (Zsl). Good channel for starters.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

How cool is that?!

[@westonmalama886]

@@LearnHowtoSign It's just beyond special! Many Zsl learners here in Zambia have taken the time to learn asl, which makes your channel their favourite. Thanks a lot for the Lessons. Truly, we sincerely appreciate.

I have a deaf/mute grandmother so I grew up to her signing to communicate with me. I never really picked it up as a child because we only ever visit her during the holidays and I was always afraid of her. Now that I’m older, I’m definitely trying to speak with her more. What I find really amusing though is that although she uses ASL, she mouths the words in Filipino so I basically have to translate from sign language to Filipino to English again.

[@warrenstaben6166]

Thank you Meredith. Short, sweet and to the point. Well done!!!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thanks. It was a fun one to research and create.

[@nephel0512]

Hello, Meredith! I'm a Russian girl who watches your videos from China 😄 For me ASL is a super understandable language compared to BSL, for example Looking forward to your new videos and thank you for quality content 🤟🤟

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Wow! This is so cool. Welcome all the way from America.

[@itsadac]

You should learn russian sign language

I learned basic CSL (Chinese Sign Language) while living in China, and I'm just now starting ASL. They're quite different, as CSL seems to rely much less on facial expressions. Also, some signs are just characters signed in the air (e.g 太). Even "hello" (你好 nǐ haǒ) is signed directly as "YOU-GOOD," with 早上好 also directly as "MORNING-GOOD." The syntax matches spoken Chinese much more closely than ASL does with American English. Overall, it's honestly kind of shocking how many syntactic similarities ASL and Mandarin share 😂

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Wow that is SO interesting! Thank you for sharing!

[@kimberlyelizabethminero1818]

This is amazing! I'm learning ASL, and I love this channel!!❤

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!

Hi, I know my comment is a bit too late, I'm from Guatemala, I'm currently learning Guatemalan Sign Language (Lesengua), and it's really cool to see how some simple signs vary a lot. I hope in the future to learn ASL too. This channel is amazing :)

[@zaner109]

Just started using your channel to learn ASL and I was actually wondering about this

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Awesome! Glad we could answer your question.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Sign language and ASL are used around the world. Let us know where you’re watching from. We’re located in Texas, USA!

[@westonmalama886]

And l am located far away just in Africa. In a land just in the south horn of Africa known as Zambia. In a boarder town between Congo DR and Zambia known as Mufulira. There that's where l enjoy the asl lessons. Thanks a lot!

In El Salvador(Central America) we use Asl and Lessa. That's the reason I'm learning from your videos too.

Wow this vídeo was mindblowing, there is so much to learn. Thanks for making these videos. Hi from NICARAGUA.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

[@He4d1nTh3Cl0ud]

That‘s right! Many around the world want to learn ASL even if it’s not used in their country. I‘m also learning ASL and I‘m from Germany soo…

[@breakdancingcat]

same here!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Welcome all the way from America.

[@NiebieskaPaprotka]

Same here, though I'm from Poland!

[@valeaves]

Same here, fellow German :)

[@itsadac]

You should learn Germany’s official Sign Language whatever it may be.

[@itsadac]

Anyone reading this: whatever your country’s official sign language is I think that should be the first sign language you ever learn if you choose to learn it all. That’s what people in your country will use more than any other sign language. If you would like to learn more sign languages learn ones not used in your country second.

[@connectthepixels]

BSL seems more difficult compared to ASL, their alphabet uses two hands with specific big spread out shapes. I would think its hard to spell fast compared to ASL

[@madi_beee]

I hope you highlight some other sign languages just like you did the BSL one! ☺️

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We'd love to do that!

[@essillius]

Thank you for your videos Meredith!

Thank you for teaching ASL

You are welcome.

[@danicawhite5478]

It’s nice that Canadians get mentioned because it’s really confusing if you don’t know if ASL will work for you if you’re Canadian

[@danicawhite5478]

I’m really trying to figure this out because I want to teach my children sign language because it’s in our curriculum now and if I can teach some young and learn myself because I work with people would be great to know that this works for Canadians don’t mind my spelling I have dyslexia and I’m not always great at it

[@funnyfunnybunnies]

What research was used for the statistics given about the most popular sign languages?

[@itsadac]

I feel the reason ASL is not higher up is because Americans don’t hear about sign language enough and when they do they don’t think twice. I feel it should be taught in all schools not just in middle and or high school as well as sign language for other countries. People tend to think oh sign language isn’t that just [enter language] on the hands? No it’s not. People don’t see any need to know it unless they know someone. I feel we need to show it more in America and other countries.

[@WhyNot-WhyNott]

This is so great!!!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you!

[@tessabowers89]

I wrote a paper a few years ago on if sign language contained different accents akin to a southern versus Midwest accent. Is that seen within ASL?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

It is! Some differences are speed of signing and various signs are different depending on the region.

[@charleswarner8747]

Frwng family didn mention vietnamese or that Thai and african sign languagws are secondarily affected by american sign ah

Hi ! I'm a bit new to your channel, I recently started learning ASL. Thank you so much for what you're doing, keep it up !! I just wanted to ask something, I've seen it in one of your videos but it was really brief, it's about prounouns in ASL. My question is, would it be possible for you to make a video focusing on only how to sign them please ?

[@eliseemichaud7561]

The pronouns like he, she, it, we,...

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Great idea.

[@eliseemichaud7561]

@@LearnHowtoSign I think so too😀, thank you in advance !!

[@eliseemichaud7561]

@@LearnHowtoSign I don't know if that's asking a lot, but this video could also be about tenses, how to use them with the tenses we know like past, present and future. I'm asking all this because you teach ASL so well and thanks to that I can communicate a bit in ASL now.

[@rangotv3010]

Ánd slowing that wideo didnt help they are Like dont end some vords what is confusing

[@LearnHowtoSign]

It personally took me 2 years in a college interpreting program to become fluent. To feel confident in a basic conversation, beginning with common phrases and build from there.

[@rangotv3010]

Thank you verry much❤️

[@mattglass4863]

hi im learning sign but its kinda hared fur me to remember bc i have dislexa so can do a vid about any kind of memory ASl please

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Repetition is key. Also signing along with the video to put each sign to practice. Hope this helps.

[@alicialyons3356]

I was under the wrong understanding (I assumed). I thought the world over used ASL meaning,in my mind only, universal.So even though all spoken language is different all sign would be the same.
