I kinda of get the structure of ASL when I took Spanish for example when you say "where are you from" the wording is more like "from where are you". (De donde eres tu or usted) Ive literally watched maybe 30 mins total of different ASL videos and i can say a lot your beginner questions and other things but as it gets more proper and remembering nouns can be hard to remember. I had the same issue in Spanish class the books we had at a new chapter showed a scene and had all the nouns and arrows pointing at each object.. I dont know anyone who is deaf but I am genuinely interested in learning ASL.. There was a dude in my culinary class who had interpreters, would have been cool to know what i know now and practice with him so long as he was willing.. Seems like folks in the deaf community are always willing to help someone learn the language that doesnt know it.. When i worked at Home Depot here near Los Angeles I had alot of spanish speakung customers who ai wouod try and help.. I understand bits and pieces but instead of saying i dont speak Spanish i told them i speak a little and would try to help them .

Very good and clear video, thanks! While reviewing it, I came up with two questions: why in the sentence "I’m moving to a big city next year" "city" is the topic, while in "I'm going to school" "I" is the topic? If we already have an adverb (time) stating when the action took place, do we need to sign "past" or "future"? I find it a bit confusing that the "past" or "future" signs are not at the beginning where the time complement usually is Thank you!

So needless to say I learned that sign fast. That’s why I pay attention to the things this instructor is signing through the natural course of teaching before focusing on the lesson.

Loved the video and subscribed ^_^ A few questions/concepts I am curious about: I was taught the Time-Topic-Comment structure, and that is what I use (as of now) when signing, but I've also heard that some signers use the structure Subject-Verb-Object (instead of Subject-Object-Verb). For instance: I EAT APPLE rather than APPLE I EAT, the latter using topicaization. Are either acceptable? I personally find the latter more natural (ASL-wise, not from English). Also, what do you do with a sentence that has a relative clause, when you are trying to gloss it in ASL? Example: "In an alleyway corner covered in cigarette smoke, something was hidden." (From a song I translated, that's why it's so descriptive.) I have attempted ^_^' DARK STREET CORNER CIGARETTE SMOKE, SOMETHING HIDE-in Again, loved this video, and I'm excited to brush up on my signing ^_^

And what if the sentence includes two verbs, including a helping verb, such as "May I call the manager?"
