I can't get enough! My grandson 6 and I have the alphabet down, now he wants to learn to spell words so he can use his hands it's so great. I love this but feel it moves too fast for this old man. I need much more repetition to bury it better in my head. Thanks so much we're having so much fun! 🤟

@markadkins9290 If you have a panel that lets you control the speed of the video, then try to slow it down there. You can also click on the video transcript to follow along and replay the signs you miss. Best wishes.

@@gardeniagirl1374 thanks, although I'm 64 and very low tech. I barely can use my phone. Unfortunately my 6 children are far away or they could be a great help. I first started learning at 13 a friend her dad was deaf and learned to spell, then 25+ years later my youngest son and I took a class and day 2 they cancelled the class very disappointing. Now 28 years later I'm starting from scratch again but having the time of my life! It justs gets harder when you get so old

This channel is SUCH a BLESSING!!! 🥳💎🙏🏾

[@plasma_eater]

I'm not deaf, nor do I currently know anyone who is. However, I think sign language is super unique and interesting, and I am now starting to learn it for fun :)

[@marys4565]

I wish I'd had this many years ago. Ive only met a few people who are deaf, but I have more interactions with those who are hard of hearing. I generally can understood by reading lips or gestures. During the pandemic, we wrote everything. Im finding this useful. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@jennivpci]

I enjoy your videos and like to come back and reference specific signs. Are you going to add a timestamp list of the signs and phrases like you usually do?

[@MonaKej]

I keep watching & practicing using your videos. I'm attending a local Deaf Cultural Halloween party tomorrow evening. I'm nervous, but it's a mix of deaf, hearing, HOH, and deaf-blind people. I wrote down some notes, so I hope people don't sign too fast, as I'm slow at comprehending finger spelling. 🙏

[@Swim4joy]

Same but mine is tonight I took a college course but it’s been a few months so I’m trying to review

[@Arctic_ThePanFreak]

This channel couldn't help me more! I'm in leadership at school so incase I need to im able to communicate with others who can't hear tysm for this!

[@christianjorgensen7192]

This is great. Thanks.

[@Fandom_Obsessed00]

Thanks bro i read not so silent and now i wanna learn asl

[@grumpydavid3839]

LOVE your videos! 🤟 I can always depend on learning more from LHTS.

[@TheBobes]

I was looking to learn a new language. Thinking maybe Spanish...? And now I'm here. I find Sign language fascinating, I hope to learn at least the basics, might come handy some day. :)

[@angelafrederick1061]

Thank you because I get really nervous in trying to sign with someone ❤

[@LearnHowtoSign]

You've got this!

[@JZScript]

I will definitely learn this. Cuz my best friend is deaf.

[@ifmdraws]

Hi. I have been watching this channel for almost an year and it is helpful to me. There is one problem i need you to notice. I have once checked out the lhts asl dictionary and i have seen some signs giving meanings of other words (for example change shows cabinet, cabinet shows blanket, blanket shows army and so on). Please check this once as it may confuse learners who refer to your dictionary. Thank you

[@hollytrabel72]

I love this but could you do it in slow motion a couple of times?

[@HendercyJennyThaïnaSTSAUVEUR]

I would like please the signs for body parts in ASL🙏

[@FizzahMalik-cn7cc]

Best signer ❤😊

[@BlondeGlamourrr]

First! I love your channel❤

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We love knowing you all love it.

[@susanhenley8240]

How to sign "Mr." and "Mrs." when introducing something? Are they the same as signing 'man' and 'woman'?

[@HOYSINSATION]

I have a question, I am legally blind and have limited motor function in my left hand, is it ok if my left hand cant do the best at making the signs?

[@gardeniagirl1374]

You can choose one hand and teach it to sign.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Of course! Just try your best.

[@thenamesJ.A.M]

The rule of tapping someone on the shoulder especially when getting a deaf person's attention seems so unorthodox to me. Growing up, I respected people's personal space by following the "Personal Space" and "Hands to Yourself" motto.Tapping on the shoulder is one of the ways to get a deaf person's attention, yet I can't just tap a person's shoulder without having second-thoughts. On the bright side, waving and tapping on a table feels right to me when getting a deaf person's attention.

[@sneikaannelorasynal177]

Hello. Can someone help me to know how to sign "Midwife" in AsL? I found only nurse.

[@DorisG232]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Sam31707]

When you said Sam it caught me off guard

[@SamSwartout]

The eye contact thing MIGHT be an issue for me. i literally CAN'T look someone in the eye but I swear I'm still paying attention to them😭😭

[@karenkkelly]

Hey Meredith, Love these videos! A possible idea for a future video: What not to sign. For example I know a lot of signs can be easily messed up and you can say something offensive without meaning to. Thanks again for these awesome videos.
