ASL | 24 Parent & Child Phrases | American Sign Language

1. Course Introduction: In this course, you're going to learn signs, phrases, sentences, questions, things that are very useful in a parent child context. Mm hm. We're going to group the phrases together in different sections, and we're going to learn each one individually. That means we're going to explore each sign individually, put the signs together, and practice signing the questions, statements, phrases. As we go, we're going to have continual review to make sure you understand what we're doing. We're also going to be experimenting a bit. So we're going to learn the base phrase, and then we're going to put some other words in or else change it to a question, change it to a statement so that you learn much more than just the base. Okay, as we're going, when I put my glasses on, that means we'll be testing. All right. When I'm testing, I don't talk. It's going to be quiet. We'll communicate with through sign language. I'm going to ask you to sign what I show you, and I'm also going to ask you to try and understand what I'm signing. Okay. What we're going to do is we're going to boost your skills for a parent child context. Signing Uh huh. 2. Explore | Group 1 Phrases: Oh, boy, it's group one phrases. Mm hmm. So here is the English version of what we're going to learn this whole list. Okay, let's take a sneak peek at each one so you can get an idea what you'll actually be learning. Mm hmm. A Okay. So once again, this is the list. This is what it looks like in English. We're going to go through each one. We're going to learn each sign individually, talk about them, talk about the English, to ASL, do lots of practice, and we'll do some experimenting, switching some of the words around. Okay. Sounds pretty good. Let's jump in. 3. Learn | Yes. That's good. No. That's bad.: In English, we might say, Yes, that's good or no, that's bad. Well, the same concepts in American sign language would look like this. Okay, let's go step by step and learn how to sign this. Here we go. Word by word, yes. Here is a sign for, yes. The hand shape is a letter S in the alphabet, STS. It's just a fist. Make a fist, put your thumb in front. There is your S, and then we put it up here. We have the palm facing forward and then we just swivel down. We have yes. From the side, yes, other side. Yes. Now, you can repeat it a couple times. You can do once. Whatever you need. If it's a situation where you feel like you need to emphasize, reinforce that it's affirmative, then do it a couple of times. You can even nod your head up and down to show extra affirmation. Yes. Yes. Okay. Moving on to that. Here is the sign for that. We're going to use the letter Y. That's the hand shape, like X Y Z in the alphabet. How do we make a Y? Well, start with your hand like this. Middle three fingers down, leave the pinky and the thumb sticking out. And there's your y. Okay. So when we sign that, we're going to go like this. Put the Y about here and then just drop it down. All right? That. From the side, that other side, that. All right? If we're referencing or indicating something that's around us, like maybe that report card or that paper, you can do it in that direction, right? The idea of that report card, whatever we're talking about that, right? Or that. If it's not here and it's just in general, just go like this, that. That. All right? So this is a very common sign. Mm hmm. All right. Another way to sign that in sign language is to just point. It's just to go that. All right? That. If we're talking about a report card, let's say, because it's perfect. Is it good or is it bad, right? So that report card, huh or that report card. Mm hmm. We're going to learn it here. And in this course, when we do review and stuff, we're going to sign it as that, okay? So the sign for that, once again, why? Go like this, put your hand out here, and just go down. That. Ah, another thing I should mention. Sometimes you'll see people sign that like this, that. Right? They make a platform with their non dominant hand. They put it down here, palm up, and then the same why and they go that or that, that. It's another way of doing it. You're welcome to do it. In this course when we do review, we'll be signing it like this that. All right? That. Okay? Next sign, here we go. Good. Here is a sign for good. Okay, here's the hand shape. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. So I'm going to use this hand shape right here, fingers tight together, thumb alongside. Now I'm going to take the upper part and just lightly touch my lips a little and go good. Good. Mm hmm. Good. From the side? Good. From the other side? Good. All right? So we're here. We're just basically going down like the opening of a mailbox. You're just opening the mailbox. Good. Mm hmm. And have a positive look on your face because good is positive. So if you're like, You're like, good. Good. You may also see people sign good like this. Good, where they use this platform handshape, put it down here. Good. A little bit similar to some people will assign that like this, that. Uh huh. All right. In this course, we're going to sign good like this to be consistent. Good. Good. Okay. Moving forward to no, here is no. No, no. All right. How do we do it? Well, the hand shape, we're going to use our thumb and our two fingers. All right, index finger and middle finger. So we go like this, put the pinky and the ring finger down, put these two together, put the thumb in front, and now we're going to squeeze down. Alright? No. Just when you sign it, don't go off to the side, point it at whoever you're talking to. So if I'm talking to you and I wanted to indicate no, negative h unh unh, no. Alright? No. So you can look at it from the side. Here we go. No. From the other side? No. Mm hm. Now, this one's similar to yes. Do you remember yes? We went like this. You could go once, you go multiple times. Whatever you feel like fits in the situation. No is the same way. You can go, No. If you really need to emphasize, no, no, no, right? Mm mm. No. See how my head involuntarily starts moving? Because we're giving extra reinforcement. Facial expression is so important, so shake your head. No. No. Remember, yes was like, Uh huh, Bob in the head, yes, yes. Uh huh. Same thing with no, I guess, just the opposite. No. Face and body, right? No. Okay, let's move to that. Do you remember the sign for that? Hmm. We just did it before. Why are you gonna have the Y hand shape, put it about out here and just drop it down. That, that, that. Uh huh. This sign for bad. Okay, so it starts out like good. We're gonna put our hand here. Hand shapes like this. Uh huh. Tight up like that. Now, use the upper part of the fingers inside part, put it at your mouth. But this time, good went like this. Now, bad goes the opposite. Bad. Bad. Mm hmm. So you notice how my hand is swiveling and it goes, so it ends up palm down. When you do good, palm is up. Bad is palm down. Kind of convenient. A little bit easier to remember, good and bad. So we have bad. From the sign. Bad. Other sign? Bad. Mm hmm. Adding a facial expression. You probably wouldn't be like, A. No, you probably more cloudy face. Ah, bad. Bad. Maybe even shaking your head. Bad. How dare you? Bad. You may notice that some people sign bad like this. Bad. Bad. Bad, right? Were they put that platform. Remember before we talked about good, some people sign like this. Good. Uh huh. In this course, to be consistent, we'll sign good like this, good, and we'll sign bad like this. Bad. All right? Just one hand. Alright? Bad. Okay, good, good. Bad, bad. Alright, let's put it all together. Let's sign this. We know all the parts. Let's put the puzzle together. Here we go. Yes, that. Good. Uh huh. No, that bad. Mm hmm. Alright. Again, sign with me. Here we go. Yes, that good. No, that bad. Alright, again. Here we go. Okay, good, good. So in English, yes, that's good or no that's bad. I sign language. Okay, so from this lesson, the takeaway that you need to know what you need to have learned because this will appear on the review later on the tests Uh huh, is this. All right, I won't put the English down below. I'm just going to put the ASL. Okay? So let's do it again. Sign with me. Here we go. Okay. Wonderful. 4. Learn | I like it. I don't like it.: In English, we say, I like it, or I don't like it, or maybe I dislike it, right? Well, in sign language, this is what we would do. Okay, so let's learn this. Here we go. All right, I. How do we sign I? Well, use your index finger, right? Just your pointer finger and point it yourself. All right? Simple enough. I. I. Okay. The sign for like is like this. Like. Okay, we're going to use our middle finger, the tip of our middle finger and the tip of our thumb. Those are the only two fingers. Leave the other ones sticking up, okay? Now, the motion is like this. So you start apart and you come together. But you're going to do it right here. So like. From the top, maybe you can see, like, L. Okay? So like from the sign, like, Alright? Like, other sign, L. L. All right? We're only using one hand. Let your other hand just hang wherever. Like. Uh huh. Okay, so that is like. What was the sign for I? Index finger, just point it yourself, single motion, I, I, and dislike. Here is the sign for dislike. You might notice it starts out like like like like, the affirmative, L. However, immediately you'll notice the facial expression. All right, so it starts out the same, but it's like you're grabbing something and you're throwing it away. Mm hm dislike, dislike. Now, adding in the facial expression, shaking the head. Wow, just really enforces it makes it really clear, okay? Dislike. So you grab it, grab it and throw it away. Uh huh. Dislike. Adding the expression, shaking the head, dislike. From this sign, dislike. All right? From the front again, sign with me, dislike. Dislike. Okay. Let's put it together. Short sentences, useful. All right. Let's sign this. Here we go. I like. Just like that. All right. And I dislike. I dislike. Let's do the whole thing all the way through. Here we go. You might notice when I'm signing, I like, I'm giving it kind of an eager face. You know, you can judge that depending on the situation. It's a food that you really like, and someone's like, you, right? They're asking, Oh. Yeah, I like it. Uh huh, I like, right? Or Mm mm mm. I dislike it, right? Another way to sign this even more efficient way is to get rid of the I, alright? If someone asks you, they're like, Oh, do you like ice cream, right? And you're signing. So you like ice cream, and they ask you, you can just say like. That's all you have to say, L. You don't even have to go I because they've already directed the question at you. So they assume that you're going to speak for yourself and not Fred or George or Henry or Mary. So if someone says, Do you in sign language, so you like ice cream? You can just go like. Mm hmm. Or if they say to you, do you like ice cream? You're like, All right? Like, you know, I don't like dislike. Uh huh. So you can sign it like this. That's fine. In this course, what we're going to do and I'm advising you to learn for review, we're going to sign I in there. Okay, so the takeaway from this lesson, what you need to know for the review is this, okay? So I'm not going to show the English when we do review. So let's sign this, alright? Sign with me. Here we go. I like, I dislike. Mm. Alright? Again, here we go. Okay. Moving on. 5. Learn | I understand. I don't understand.: In English, we say, I understand or I don't understand. Well, in sign language, it would look like this. All right, so let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. First, understand. Affirmative, I understand. That's what I'm trying to communicate. Looks like this. Okay, so we're going to use the sign for understand, which is the light bulb going off, huh? If you notice I'm just flicking my index finger up into the up position, right? Like that. Understand. Understand. From the side, understand, from the other side, understand. All right, don't put it out here. Don't put it out here, put it up by your head because that's where the light bulb appears above our head. Ha I got it. Understand. If you're lefty, just do it on your left side. Understand. I'm right hand. That's my dominant hand, so I'll do it here. Understand. All right. Add in an affirmative facial and head movement, right? So you're like, uh huh, understand. Uh huh. Understand. Because if you do it the opposite way, all you have to do is change your head movement, facial expression, and we get the opposite. Don't understand. Notice how my hand is doing the exact same thing as understand. All right? But suddenly my face is different, right? Don't understand. What? Uh huh. You can fur the eyebrows, getting a confused look on your face. If it's just completely mind boggling, you can right? If it's just, you know, not a big thing, they'll explain it to you in a moment. All right. Just put it in your face. But it's very important because understand the hand shape, if I make no facial expression whatsoever, the movement of the hand is the same. Understand, right? So affirmative. Ah, Aha, understand. Kind of, you know, nod your head. Mm hmm. Alright? Don't understand. We got to let them know we don't. From the side. From the other side. Okay, so let's sign all of this together. Here we go. Alright, so flicking the finger. Understand. Uh huh. Don't understand. Okay? So literally in English, if you put it in English, it's I understand or I don't understand. Now, in sign language, if you really, really want to put in the sign for I like this, I, you can, but it's not very I don't think it's used very often that way because it's so easy just to go like this. Right? So someone would be saying something to you, and they would probably be like, you know, you got it, they'd be signing, you'd be like, understand. It's extra energy to go, I understand. If you really want to do it, you'll be understood and it's fine. If you want the most efficient way to do it, just sign it like this. Alright? Same thing for don't understand. There's no need to go I don't understand. Alright? Because it's already you. They asked you the question, and you're representing yourself. Mm hmm. Okay, so let's sign this one more time. Here we go. Understand. Don't understand. Okay, so what do you need to have learned from this lesson? All right? The English won't be there. You need the signs for understand and don't understand. Remember, for these, the facial expression, the head is very important because the hand motion, understand is going to be the same for both. All right. So let's do it again. Sign with me. Let's do the top one. Understand. Understand. Now don't understand. Okay. Wonderful. 6. Learn | Thank you. You're welcome.: In English, we say, Thank you. You're welcome. Well, in sign language, it would look something like this. Alright, let's learn this. Here we go. Alright. First off, thank you. Here's a sign for thank you. Mm hmm. Alright, we're going to use this hand shape, tight together, thumb alongside. Turn it so palms facing in, start at your mouth and go out. Alright? I'm talking to you, so I'd point it right at you. Thank you. Thank you. I say I'm talking to Fred, and you're watching us, and I say thank you to Fred. Thank you. Alright, Sally's over here and you're watching our conversation. I talk to Sally. Uh huh. Thank you. Alright. Once again, thank you. Okay, you might be thinking. Well, what's the difference between thank you and good? Ah huh. So the sign good and the sign, thank you, they both start up here. And actually, they look almost the same. There is a difference. This is what can help you and help you remember, okay? When I say thank you, when I go out, I direct it towards you. It's like I'm giving the energy to you. I want to share my thanks, right? Thank you. Thank you. All right? When I sign good, I just go straight here. Good. All right? I'm not necessarily directing it at anyone. It's just kind of falling down. Good. All right? Good. If I'm talking to you and I want to show that you're good, I just do like this. Good. Good. But suddenly, I want to give thanks. I want to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh huh. Do you see that? So let's say Sally's over here first, I'm going to say, thank you. Thank you. All right? Now I'm going to say good. All right? Good. Good. Alright. There's not a crystal clear line between those exactly where the placement should be. But in general, when you say thank you, directed at the person, alright? Thank you. Alright? And then good is just good. Now, the context is going to be wonderful. Once you have that information, someone just did something for you incredible, right? You might say good. More likely you're gonna say thank you. Uh huh. Okay, good, good. So we just did the first thank you, and you're like, There's another thank you. What the heck? Well, in English, first, we would say, thank you, thanks, whatever. And we would say, You're welcome. Hm. Now, if we talk about welcome in American sign language, the concept is different. And when we say it's different, it's very important. So the sign for welcome is like this. Welcome. You can just see in the sign itself, welcome. It's like you want someone, you're inviting someone into your house or to wherever you are. Welcome, right? Welcome. Now, in English, we say you're welcome. But in sign language, if you go, you're welcome, it's like they're thinking, Okay, you know, you're inviting me. It's cool if I come in your house, something like that. But it doesn't work for a way of giving thanks. So this is where it gets interesting. When someone says, thank you, to you in sign language, you can say thank you right back. And it has the meaning as you're welcome, right? So, at the beginning, you probably notice I kind of did two people, one here, and one over here. So this is what it might look like. Thank you. Ah, thank you, right? And the second person, they're not really showing a face of, like, huge appreciation. It's more like, Ah, you know, don't worry about it. Mm hmm. Or just a pleasant look. So, thank you. All right. So you can just sign thank you back. Pretty neat. Just mirror the thank you. All right. Here's another way of saying thank you, another way of expressing thanks. Because in English, if someone says thank you, we could say, ah, don't worry about it. No problem. Ah, no worries. You got it. Uh huh. So you can just sign fine. So someone says, thank you, you can go like this. All right? So we're going to use this hand shape, it's just the number five, fingers spread apart. Use the thumb and come in and tap on your chest a couple of times. Fine. Fine. All right. At the same time when someone's like, thank you. On your face is kind of fine, right? The facial expression is kind of showing, Oh, no problem. Fine. It's fine. No worries, fine. Uh huh. All right. So once again, thank you. Fine. Fine. All right? In sign language as well as in English, I mentioned a few before. You're welcome. No problem. Don't worry about it. Here's another one just quick when they go like this, they have Os and they go, so when someone says, Thank you, they're like, no problem. No worries. Nothing. Cause literally this sign means nothing, and just, you know, don't worry about it. It's nothing. Mm hmm. Okay, good, good. So let's practice what we've learned. And I've actually given you, you know, one way to say thank you, but two ways to say you're welcome. Alright? So let's do all of it. Here we go. Okay, so I urge you because you probably notice we're having a conversation with ourselves. We where we're saying thank you and you're welcome to ourselves. But since I'm the only one here and you may be the only one there, I would urge you to pretend that you're two different sides of the conversation, right? So the first part is, thank you. Now switch back over here and sign your welcome the ways to communicate the concept of you're welcome. M h huh? So like this, when we do this, I would urge you to sign a something like this. And Okay, so let's do it again. Sign with me. Let's sign all of this. Here we go. Okay, so what is the takeaway from this lesson? What do you need to know? You need to know this, okay? When we see it in the review, there won't be any English down below. So, let's sign this. Here we go. And I urge you do the body pretend you're both sides of the conversation. It's gonna help you have it cemented in your brain, these signs, okay? So remember, the two signs down below are the concept of You're welcome that we would use in English okay? So let's sign this. Here we go. Okay. Sounds good. 7. Learn | All done. Are you finished.: In English, we say, All done, or we might say, Are you finished? Well, to communicate the same thing in sign language in American sign language, we would do this. Okay, let's jump in and learn how to sign this. Here we go. Here is the sign for finish. Okay, this captures the English concept of all done. There's an event, there's a game, there's something going on, and it's over. It's all done. It's completed. Finish, also works for already. It's over. It's finished, all done. We're just going to sign finish. So how do we sign it? Well, we have our open hands here, fingers apart, spread apart, straight. Put them about here, palms facing in. Now we're going to rotate out quickly, a jerky motion. Finish. It's not slow. It's not slow motion. It's finish. Finish. From the sign, finish, from the other side. Finish. All right. So this remember works for the concept of all done. You're playing a game with some kids, they're doing whatever. They're at the playground. Uh huh. It's over. All done. It's not necessarily a bad thing. You could be moving on to another event or whatever. Okay. All right, finish. Uh huh. We got to go finish. Mm hm. Okay. So let's move to you. How do we sign? Index finger, the ever useful index finger, which is the number one, the pointer finger. I'm talking to you, so I'm going to go. If I'm talking to Fred, I will turn my body. We're having a conversation now and I would go. All right, pointing your body towards whoever you're signing with as much as you can, if you're sitting in a row and it's down there, turn as best as you can because it's very respectful and it offers clear communication. Now you can show them everything you have to say, all of your hands, facial expressions. So, single motion. Alright, how do we sign finish? Finish. That's right. Finish. You'll notice in English, it says, Are you finished? As in ED, at the end, you have to conjugate the verb. Wonderful news. In American sign language, don't worry about verb conjugation. Just sign the basic sign. Mm hmm. Alright? You're probably thinking about tenses and future and past and all that stuff. This course, we're not going to go into all that, but just in general, keep in mind, when you want to sign tenses, future past, and all that stuff in American sign language, you add extra words. Default by itself is the present. The presents simple. But if I wanted to say yesterday, yesterday, you know, you finish, then you could add in extra signs. That's not what we're here to focus on, so I will try to stay focused. Okay, so the sign for finish finish. We already learned that, finish. Now, you'll notice the first sentence is a statement, positive statement, declarative sentence, we could say. Second one is an interrogative sentence. A question. We need to make sure it's clear that we're communicating a question. We have that question mark here and how are we going to communicate the question? Well, first, we need to identify. Is it a yes no question or a WH question? A WH question is a question, who, where, when, how, why, even which The questions. And a yes no question is one that you can answer yes or no. Maybe you could say maybe. In English, we would say, are you finished? Well, it's either yes or no, right? Maybe you could have a maybe as I'm going back to the buffet for seconds or something. Maybe. But it's a yes, no question. What do we do? We're going to raise our eyebrows, lean forward, and have an inquisitive look on our face. Something like this. So when you get to the end of this sentence and you're signing finish, lean forward, eyebrows up, inquisitive look. Mm hmm. Mm hm. Now, I think the inquisitive look is more natural than we realize. If you're talking with someone and they're telling you and describing a juicy story, and then they just stop. It's like a cliff hanger, you're like, What? What? How does it end? Do you see how what automatically happens? Eyebrows go up, we lean in, right? Those are the same body motions, expressions that we use when we do a yes, no question. Alright? So this question would look like this. Now, you don't have to raise your eyebrows when you sign the first part you it's up to you. You finish or you could go. But the important part, the thing to remember, when you get to the end of the sentence, the last sign there or the last few signs, you need to raise the eyebrows. Lean forward, inquisitive look. Alright? So watch me, how I do it. You finish. Okay, so let's sign all of this together. Remember, top one is a positive statement. The second one is a question. So what do we do? Well, sign with me. Here we go. Finish. You finish? All right. Finish. You finish? All right. And remember, finish here, we're going for the concept of all done, all done. It's over. The event is finished. We need to move on. Whatever. Finish, all done. All right. Let's try something which can be useful. Let's switch it around. Mm. So in English, it would be, Are you done or is it? Is it finished? Is the event over? Are you done? Whatever. And you're finished. So in ASL in sign language now, Same signs, but what are we going to do? Do you remember? How do we change it that now it's a question and a statement before it was a statement, the question. What do you think? Well, when we sign finished, as in, is it all done? Is it all over? We'll just go like this? We'll just do. We're gonna do the eyebrows. Lean forward, inquisitive look, finished? All done? Over? Uh huh. And you finish. It's a statement now. So now don't lean forward. Don't do all the eyebrows up. Just do. Alright. So in what situation might you say you finish? Well, think of a buffet. And you've been eating like crazy, and the owner comes up to you and says, You're finished. You're driving, making me broke. You're making me bankrupt, eating all the food. You're finished. Uh huh. You're finished. It doesn't have to be necessarily a negative thing. It could be, you know, you're finished here. You need to move on to the next station or next whatever. So you finish. Alright, so once again, let's sign this. Okay, so this is what we're going to focus on remembering in this lesson, right? Finish. You finish. So what do we retain? What do we need to remember for review when we get to the test? You need to remember this. Okay? So how do we sign it? What do you think? Finish. You finish. Okay. 8. Learn | Are you crying. Are you sad.: In English, when we're talking to a kid, our kid or whoever, we might say, Are you crying? Are you sad? Right? Well, in American sign language to communicate that, we would go like this. Alright, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. How do we sign you? Index finger, right? Point your finger and just point. Single motion. I'm talking with you. So. Alright, cry. Here is a sign for cry. All right. Can you see it? The tears are going down, right? Use our index fingers, both hands. We're going to turn the palms in, use the tips of the fingers, put them about here on your cheeks and go down twice. Like tears streaming down your face. Cry. Cry. From the side, cry. From the other side, cry. Mm hmm. Here we go. Cry. Okay, we need to make sure we communicate this as a question. All right? First thing, is it yes or no question? Well, we can look back at English. Are you crying? Are you sad? It's kind of yes or no, right? We just have two options there. Okay, so it's a yes, no question. We're going to raise our eyebrows, lean forward, inquisitive look, something like this. Alright, so the full sentence up top would look like this. Alright, 'cause you're interested. You want to know eyebrows up, leaning forward. Uh huh. Okay. How do we sign? Phoenix finger, right, right. SAD, here is the sign for SAD, the sign out of context, no context, the individual concept, the sign for SAD. Here we go. Okay, we're going to use these hand shapes, right? They're kind of curved in a little bit. We're not straight out, but the fingers are separated, okay? Kind of like this. Turn them in, put them about here, palms facing in. All right? Start up about level with your eyes and go sad. Sad from the side. From the other side, SD, from the front, SD. All right? When we're doing the sign just by itself, we would put the facial expression SD. You can pout a little bit, go down, uh huh. Even in some sentences, we'll go like this. All right. In this sentence, we have a context. All right? We're going to use the motion for SD, but we need to communicate. It's unique here. We need to communicate it as a yes no question, right? You SAD Are you SAD. So with the yes no question, raise your eyebrows. Lean forward, inquisitive look. All right, so let's sign SAD. Here we go. Alright, so you'll see the hand motion are the same. They're going to understand that you mean sad. Then they're going to also understand that you're asking a question. Uh huh. Good, good. Alright, let's put both of the questions together. All right. We did the question. Uh huh. We did it. Good. All right. Let's put them both together. You may not use them at the same time. You could use one at one time. Either way, I'm giving you two little questions that you can use, right? And you can swap out the words, if you want to say scared. If you want to say, hurt, if you want to say happy, right? You can flip out the words. We're just going to use cry and sad here. Okay, so let's sign what we have. Here we go. All right. Again, sign with me. Here we go. Mm hmm. One more time. Okay, let's do a little experiment, and let's switch them. Ah ha. They were questions, and now they're statements. How would you sign this? You cry, as in English, you're crying or you cry, and you're sad. You cry. You sad. How do we communicate that they're no longer questions. They're statements, positive statements. What do you think? Well, just don't do the question stuff. No need to lean forward, eyebrows, all that. Just go like this. If you want to bob your head up and down 'cause you're affirming something, that's fine, too. But you're just kind of staying neutral. You're sharing information. You cry. You're crying, right? Same with your San or you San? Did you notice? I put the sad face on for this one, because in this one, we don't have to communicate that it's a question. Over here, we need to communicate that it's a question. We would raise eyebrows and stuff. But here it's just a statement. So we can just go and share the facial expression. Alright? Let's sign all of this together. Here we go. Alright, do the questions? How do we do it? Mm hmm Statements once again. And of course, the questions. Okay, so what is the takeaway from this lesson? Well, when we have the test, you're gonna need to know this, alright? You cry. You sad. Alright? Okay, so let's do it together. Here we go. You cry? You sing? Okay. Sounds good. 9. Learn | Are you hungry. Do you want to eat.: In English, we might say to our kid, Are you hungry? Do you want to eat? Well, in sign language, get those concepts across. We'll just go like this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. You index finger, just point. Make sure your body's positioned. I'm talking with you, so. Here is the sign for hungry hungry hungry. All right? The hand shape is like this. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. So make the letter C, like this. So it looks like a C. There we go. Now, use the tips of the fingers, tip of the thumb, and we're going to put it down here at our upper chest. All right? Then we're going to slide down. I'm actually making contact, so then I slide down Hungry from the side, hungry from the other side, Hungry. All right, so take your C. You're going to put it so it's flat, put it in here and go down hungry. Hungry. Good. All right? It's a question, h and it is a yes, no question. So that means we're gonna raise our eyebrows. Lean forward, have an inquisitive look, right? So when we sign this sentence, we'll go like this. You hungry? Uh huh. You hungry? Okay, good. Want. Here is a sign for W. All right? Pretty straightforward. You're pulling it in. You're showing, you're communicating that I wantnt Uh huh. Okay. So when we start, our palms or face up. The hand shapes are like this, alright? Just flat hands. Alright? Put it down here. Now, pull it in, curling the fingertips. Uh huh. Want. So when you start, the hands are like this. When you finish, they're like this. Like class. So want. From the sign. Want, other sign. Want. Uh huh. Okay. Eat. Here's the sign for Eat. Okay, hand shape. You'd say put all your fingertips together. You could say it's an O, but it's squished down, right? The letter O or zero and you squish it down. Either way, take all of those tips and just touch your mouth once. Eat. I can't say it while I'm signing it, but eat. Mm hmm Okay, from the sign. Eat from the other sign. Eat. Okay? So I mentioned that's one motion. Eat. If you do two taps like this, it means food. Well, good news. Food would work in this situation. Ah, we learned another sign. So you could say want eat. You could also say want food. Great, great, great. Okay, so the sign for eat is just one motion. Food is Mm hmm. All right. Let's make sure it's a question. So what do we do? Raise eyebrows, lean forward, that stuff. So this second sentence would be want eat. Woo I think I signed food. I did. Ah. Want eat. Single motion is eat. Want eat? If you want to say sign if you wanted to sign want food, why not? Okay? For review and testing, we're going to stick with eat. But in general, when you're living your life, you're probably going to say food sometimes. Okay, let's practice both of these sentences together. Two questions. Here we go. Alright. Again, here we go. Okay, couple of things. You'll probably notice there are multiple ways to say things in English, especially when we get casual, very laid back. Same thing in sign language, okay? So this situation, you're talking to your kid. You're already having a conversation, you're interacting. They know that you're referring to them as you, so you actually don't need to say you here. Mm. You can just go hungry, right? Think of it when you're talking with your own kid. I'm talking with my daughter, I might glance at her, she glances at me hungry? Hey, hungry? Right? Something like that. So you don't always have to talk in formal English, so we don't have to sign in formal sign language, right? If you want, you could just go hungry. Hungry. Alright? So you're thinking to me, you're asking, Well, teacher, why are you putting you in there? Trying to complicate things? Well, in a formal situation, you might actually sign. You hungry? With your kids, you might actually sign you hungry. It's very common. It depends on the signer. Do they just want to go hungry or do they want to go hungry? So to be consistent in this course, because it's good practice for signing you and doing combinations of signs, we're going to do you hungry. Mm hmm. Alright. Want eat. You notice how the is absent. You're like, Ah, Teacher, you're messing with us. Right. So want eat. You could do the full thing. You could go, you want, eat. But if you ask me, it's unnecessary, right? Maybe if it's by itself. If it's together here, we have you hungry, want to eat, we've already established you, so it's a little bit redundant to go you again, right? But if it's all by itself, and out of the blue, and I say to you, right? I might just sign you to make it very clear that I'm starting a question, and I want to talk about you eating, you know, whatever. If you put these together, I probably wouldn't put the U in, right? If you really want when you're signing them together, you want to sign both times. If that is more comfortable for you, you will be understood. Hm. As you advance, you're going to find what's more comfortable for you, what works in different situations. It's just experimentation. But I would urge you to remember that just like in English, there's not just one way to communicate things, right? Same thing in sign lang there are multiple ways to play with the sign? Even the word order right. Okay? So it's not so rigid. Sometimes when we learn a language, we want it to be rigid. I want it to work in 100% of the cases, no matter what. Well, life throws us a curveball. It's not how it works. So to be rigid in this course, when we do review, we're going to do it like this. Okay. Let's experiment, shall we? Let's change it to statements. Change the two sentences to statements. How would you communicate? You hungry and you want eat? Alright. Just don't do the question stuff, right? So you hungry, you hungry. It's a statement, affirmative statement. I'm telling you you're hungry. You hungry. Alright? You want to eat. I'm telling you for some reason that you want to eat. And you're like, Well, no, I don't know. I'm like, No, you want to eat. Mm hmm. Maybe I'm forcing you or I'm just describing. I don't know. Okay, so in English, you're hungry. You want to eat. The statements is sign language. Okay, let's go back to the questions. What do we do? How do we communicate this? What do you think? All right. Add in the question stuff. Okay, so what is the takeaway from this lesson? What will you need when we get to the tests? All right. This is what you need to remember. The questions you hungry? W eat? Ar, so let's sign together. Here we go. All right. Again, here we go. Okay. 10. Learn | Are you tired. Do you want to sleep.: In English, you might say to your kid, Are you tired? Do you want to sleep? Well, to sign that in American sign language, we'd go like this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Index finger going to point. I'm talking with you. I'm straight on. Okay. Tired. Here is the sign for tired. Okay, here are the hand shapes like this, fingers together, bend them down. Now we're going to put one on either side of the chest at the edge of the chest. We're not in the armpits. We're at the edge of the chest, okay? Now, just go like this. Basically just drop them down. You can also sag your shoulders to show fatigue, you're sleepy, you're tired. From the side, tired, from the other side, tired. Mm hm. This sign tired is similar to another sign. We're going to explore that tired and animal. We have tired and then we have animal. Okay, you notice the difference? I'll do it from the side, see if you can pick it up. Tired animal. Okay, so tired and animal have the same beginning, hand shape, and the same placement, but tired goes down, and animal just goes one, two, right? Animal. Okay, so tired and animal. All right. So in this course, we're going to be using tired. So we just go like this. Tired. Tired. Mm hmm. Okay? We need to make sure it's a question that it's communicated and understood as a question. It's yes, no question. Someone asked you in English, Are you tired, say yes, no, possibly, you'd say maybe. It's a yes, no question. So we're going to raise our eyebrows, lean forward, and have an inquisitive look on our face like this. All right. So when you sign, you tired, it's going to look like this. Tired? You tired? Okay. All right, so let's move forward. Want. Here's the sign for want. All right. Starting with these hand shapes, open fingers, palms facing up, put them down here. Now, pull them in and make claws. Want, or you could say curl the fingertips, W from the side, W from the other side, W. Want starts like this, goes down to this, W. Okay, good, good. The next word is sleep. Here is the sign for sleep. That sign is without context. It's just the concept, just the sign for sleep by itself. Sleep. This is what we're going to do. We're going to start with this hand shape, you're going to catch a ball loose like that. Fingers separated. Now we're going to start about here and go down. As you're going down, the fingers come together and the tips are all together. Sleep. Sleep. Okay. Once again, right about here, go down, sleep. Sleep. All right. Other side, sleep. You can close your eyes, nod off a little bit, just to show sleep, sleep. Okay. Now, this sign is similar to another sign. Aha. We have sleep and we have Wolf. So I'm going to sign sleep first, and then wolf. Let's take a look. Sleep Wolf. Alright? From the side, it becomes really clear the difference. Here we go. Sleep. Wolf. All right, so you notice Wolf we are signing. We're making the shape of the snout, the nozzle, the muzzle, whatever you call it, the muzzle, I guess, or the snout of the wolf, right? So like that. But the hand shape and the hand movement is similar. You start like this and you end like this. With sleep, you start up here, go down. With wolf, you start here and you go out straight out, wolf. All right? From this side, tired. Sleep. Wolf. All right. Sleep. Wolf. Mm hmm. How about we do this? Alright? How would you sign Wolf Sleeps? Or in English, it would be the wolf is sleeping, the wolf sleeps in sign language, Wolf sleep. What do you think? Wolf Sleep. Uh huh. Wolf sleep. Okay, good, good. So we just did the sign for sleep. Now we need to make sure that we're signing a question. Want sleep? All right? Yes, no question. How do we do it? What do you think? W sleep. W sleep. Uh huh. So because we're trying to communicate and show that this is a question, we're not going to do the full sign by itself. When sleep is all alone and there's no context, it's just a sign, we'd go sleep. All right? But when we're signing in the sentence, you're probably not going to close your eyes, and you're probably not going to put your head down because we need to communicate a question. And in the question, the yes no question, it lean forward, raise your eyebrows. Uh huh. So it would be like this? Want sleep? Want sleep. So we're going to still make the hand motion, the hand shapes and all of that. We're just not going to go sleep. We're going to go want sleep because it's a question. Mm hmm. All right. So let's take a look here. What do we have? We have two questions, both yes no questions. So how would you sign them? Mm hmm. What do you think? All right? You tired? W sleep? Uh huh. Once again, again, Okay, so let's take a look here. We have the questions. And in the top one, it says, you tired. You could say just tired. You could just go like this. All right? If you're having a conversation with your kid, it's you and him or her, whoever, and it's just right? You don't actually need to go. You can just go tired. Uh huh. We're going to stick it in there because it's good practice to put the combinations. It's also common to just go tired. Uh huh. It's your choice, how you want to do it as a signer. And the course we'll do it like this. Now, want sleep. The full stretched out phrase would be you want sleep but we can just go want sleep, especially if they're together. You tired, want sleep. If we go tired, you want sleep, the you might be a little bit redundant, but it's still understood and it's still an option if you want to do it. Once again, we have Okay, let's experiment, and let's change them to statements. Alright? So the concepts in English, you're tired. You want to sleep. Mm hmm. Okay, so what do you think? How would we sign these? Statements, remember, not questions. What do you think? Right? We just go like this. Mm hmm. You tired. You want sleep. Mm hmm. Okay, let's do the questions again. All right. The statements. And the question once again. Okay, so what is the takeaway from this lesson? What will be on the test? All right? Remember, and make sure that you're able to sign this. Alright. So once it appears on the test, the English part will not be there. It's just going to be the concepts in sign language, so you need to know the signs, okay? So let's do it again. Sign with me. Here we go. Alright, you tired? W sleep? Okay, good, good. 11. Practice | Group 1 Phrases: Practice before the test. What? A test? That's right. A test. Okay. You may want to pay attention because this is the format for testing and review through the entire course. All right? It comes in two parts. The first part is, see that little hand down there, you're going to sign. All right? So you're going to see something that's up there. Alright? I'll start the timer. It's for 5 seconds and you sign. Mm hmm. All right. Let's do a little quick practice test so you can see the format and how it goes. Here we go. A Okay, so that's the format for the first part. If the times going too fast, feel free to pause the video, take your time, work through the signs, and then proceed onward when you're ready. When the time's up, I will sign. All right? If you think the time is taking too long, just sign it again. More practice the better. Okay, so that's the first part where you sign. In the second part, I will sign. See that little guy down there, we're not going to have a timer, but you have that little guy and you have me. So I'm going to sign. You're going to look at me, you're going to be like, uh huh, he's doing something. Aha. You try to understand. You try to figure out what I'm signing. Alright? It's stuff that we've already reviewed, but now it's reinforcing your ability to recognize the sign, the signs, right? And understanding. Mm hmm. Okay, so let's do a little quick test. Try to understand what I'm signing. Here we go. Okay, so what did I sign? Well, I'm only going to sign it once. So if you need to pause the video rewind and have me repeat it, that's up to you. Okay? So this is what I signed. Okay. All right. So that part, you take a look at me. When you see that guy, I'm going to be signing. When you see the hand down there, you're going to be signing. Mm hmm. Another thing, when I do testing, I wear my glasses. All right? So when you see me with glasses, I'm not going to be talking. So during the testing parts, no noise, no sound, nothing. We'll communicate through sign language. We'll do the testing, we'll do the review, and we'll boost your skills. Okay, let's do it. 14. Explore | Group 2 Phrases: Ah group two phrases. This is what we're going to learn. So this is the English version. Why don't we take a sneak peek at what it looks like each of them in sign language. Okay? Here we go. Okay, so this is a list. In the English version, we're going to go step by step. We're going to learn each sign individually, put the signs together, make the questions or the statements, whatever they are, and do lots of practice. We're going to experiment. We'll switch some of the words around and learn some new signs. Okay, let's do it. O. 15. Learn | Be gentle. Be nice.: In English, we might say to our kids, Be gentle. Be nice. Uh huh. Well, in American sign language, this would be the equivalent. Okay. Let's jump in and learn how to sign this. Here we go. All right, must. Here is the sign for must. We're going to be using the hand shape, your dominant hand. I'm right handed. I'll use this one. We're going to form the handshape of the letter X in the alphabet, XYZ. How do we make an X? Well, you could say you're making a captain hook with your index finger, a hook. Huh. We want to go slower more step by step away, we could say open hand, last three fingers, put them down, thumb curls in front. Now curve the index finger down. That is an X. We're going to take that X, put it about here and we're going to have the tip facing straight forward, whoever we're talking to pointed at them. Now we drop it straight down or swivel down, must. Must, from the side, must, from the other side, must. Uh huh. This is also the same sign for need. You have to must. Uh huh. If you notice in English, we have B gentle. B nice. Well, in American sign language, they don't sign the AR is was were and the different forms of to B, the verb to B in English. So to get the concept across, they just say must gentle. It works. It's very direct and to the point must, must. Let's move to gentle. Here is a sign for gentle. Okay, we're going to use both hands, and we're going to make this hand shape right here. So we have open like this. Curve the fingers down. All right. Like that. We're going to put them about here. We're going to go one, two, gentle. Gentle. All right? Just imagine there are many pillows or phoenix balls or whatever, and you're just being gentle. All right? Because this sign also works for soft. It works for tender. It works for gentle. Uh huh. So we're going to do it twice. One, two. You're just squeezing as you go down. Gentle. From the side, gentle, from the other side, gentle. Mm hmm. Okay, let's take a look here. Must.

I'm going to take my non dominant hand, my left hand, and make a platform. All right? Remember, same hand shapes. One is a platform. Now, with my dominant hand, I'm going to put it palm facing down, start at the back and slide forward. All right? Nice. Nice. Mm hmm. From the side. Nice, from the other side. Nice. Okay, here we go again. Nice. All right. Moving forward, Alright, so let's sign this. In English, it's be gentle, be nice. In American sign language, the concepts are must gentle, must nice. All right, here we go. Okay, so you're a parent. I'm a parent. There are many different situations as a parent, right? Some of those situations you might be like, Alright, you have a neutral look on your face, you're just communicating, whatever. Other situations, maybe the kid did something inappropriate. So you have more of a stern look on your face, right? Alright, must gentle. Uh huh. Be gentle. Must, nice. Uh huh. So put in your facial expression. I mean, I'm not gonna tell you how to be a parent. You figure out how to communicate with your kid. I'm still working out how to do with mine. But our facial expression is going to show the mood, right? Show our mood and how we feel in this situation. It's actually an opportunity for us to check our reactions and choose the appropriate reaction for the situation, right? Do we want to be nice and firm, or do we just lose it and we're like, Okay, the joys of parenting. Uh huh. So let's sign all of this once again, and let's be a little bit stern this time. We're going to put it in our facial expression. We're not joking around, we're being very serious, and we want our child to know, okay? So try to put that on your face while we're signing this. Here we go. Okay. Now let's try it. 1 second. Now let's try it. We're just trying to just get the message across. There's no reason to be upset. We're just kind of maybe explaining to them the situation. We're going to, like, a petting zoo or something, and you got to be nice. You need to be gentle with the animals, the bunny rabbits, whatever. So let's put that on our face, okay? Okay. It's pretty much the same. I mean, how you do it in sign language, you use your face to express. You use the movements, right, how you if your movements are jerky, if they're angry, whatever. In English, when we speak, we put it in our voice. Be gentle. Be nice. Be gentle. Be nice, right? So the inflection we put in our voice in speaking when we're speaking in English, put it in your face, your facial expressions when you're doing it in sign language. Mm hmm. Okay, so let's experiment a little bit because we just did must gentle. Must nice. Uh huh. Let's turn them into questions. All right. So the concept in English, this is a little wordy, but is it necessary to be gentle? Like, do I have to be gentle? Really? We got to be gentle. Is it necessary to be nice? Okay, so these are yes no questions. So how would we sign these in American sign language? As a question, as yes, no questions. Okay, well, we're going to go like this. Must gentle. Alright? So we're going to sign must. And when we're signing gentle, the last sign in the sentence, raise your eyebrows, lean forward, have a quisitive inquisitive look on your face, something like this. Alright? Okay. And how do we do? Must nice? What do you think? Okay, let's do both of these, ask questions. Let's sign it. Let's do it. Okay, let's switch it back. How would you do statements? Be gentle or it's necessary to be gentle. Be nice. You got to be nice. What do you think? All right, here we go. Okay, so basically here, just don't do the question stuff. Stay back, have kind of a neutral look on your face. If you want to affirm it, you could be like, right? Kind of yes, nodding down that it's extra affirmation. You need to be really gentle here, else, we're gonna have to pay for the damage. Something like that? All right? Must nice. Mm hmm. Okay, good, good. So what do we need to know from this lesson once we get into testing? Well, make sure you know how to sign these concepts. Must gentle, must nice. Alright? They don't have to be signed together, right? They can be signed independently, depending on the situation, together, separate, whatever, right? Okay, so let's do it again. Sign with me. Here we go. Must gentle. Must nice. Okay. 16. Learn | Time to clean up. Put away the toys.: In English, we might say time to clean up, put away the toys or put the toys away, something like that. Well, in American sign language, we could sign. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Here is a sign for time. Straightforward, right? So I'm just tapping the face of my watch time. With my right hand, my dominant hand, I'm going to make the index finger like the pointer finger. My non dominant hand, I'm just going to make a fist. You could say the letter S, put it down here, so the back part of the hands facing up. Now just take the index finger and tap your watch. Time, from the side, time from the other side, time, right? If you're lefty, just do the opposite. Fist down here, index finger, time. Uh huh. Okay. Here is the sign for clean up the idea, the concept of clean. Okay. All right, we're going to use both hand shapes being the same. Fingers like this, put them together, thumbs alongside. Okay? I'm right handed. I'm going to hold this one here for a sec. Non dominant hand, make a platform, okay? Take my dominant hand and rub twice. Two quick motions. Kind of like you're sweeping the floor, you're quick cleaning, something like that. Clean up. All right? Do it twice. Okay, it's important that you do it twice to get the concept of, you know, get that stuff up, clean it up. This sign like that, has a couple of different meanings, okay? For here, it means clean, right? You start in the back, you slide forward. It can also mean nice. Mm hmm. So what we would need is context. And in a context or a situation like this, it's pretty clear there are probably toys all over the floor. The kids been having a wonderful time playing, and now it's time to tidy up, time to clean up, right? So remember, when you want to sign the concept for clean up, it's two times clean up. Clean up from the side, clean up. All right. From the other side, clean up. Mm hmm. Okay. Let's see. Toys. Couple different ways to sign toys. We're going to pick one and stick with it in this course, but here are the two different ways. One like this. Another way is Okay, so the one has its own sign. Another one is they just fingerspell it. It's pretty common. It's a short little word. Short little words, you'll notice that sometimes deaf people just fingerspell them or people in the deaf community, they just choose to fingerspell them. Okay, so we're going to use the sign, right? So you can learn a new sign. And yeah, so here is a sign for toys. Okay, we're going to use the letters T, both hands, right? The letters T in the alphabet. Well, how do we make a T? Well, go like this. Put your thumb on the other side of your index finger and bring your fingers down. There you go. That's a T. All right. Now, you need to be careful. If you put on the other side of your middle finger, it becomes an N. If you put it on the other side of your ring finger, it's an M. All right? So we want T. We want the T hand shape. Just go over one finger, put it down. That's a T. We're going to make it with both hands, okay? Now we're going to hold them like this, the palms facing in, one on either side, and we're just going to shake them. Kind of like they're rattle and just swivel. Toys. Toys. Toys. Alright? From the side, toys. I'll try to go slower. Toys. All right? Toys. Other side, toys. Alright, sign with me. Here we go. Toys. Toys. So remember, you might also see that people spell it, and other people will sign it, toys. Okay, something to remember, toys could be seen as similar to the sign for bathroom. Very different concepts. Okay, so let me show you the different signs. Toys, both hands, toys. Now bathroom. All right? They're different enough, right? I might be like they have the same hand shape. They're moving around, so it's possible, especially for beginners that they look similar, okay? So remember, toys, we're rotating here, toys. Now, bathroom just uses one hand, and it goes back and forth. I kind of waves back and forth. It's not twisting back and forth. So that is bathroom. Horay, we learn another sign, bathroom. Okay? So toys, once again, toys. Toys, rotating the wrists in the T handshape toys. Okay, so we just did toys toys. All right. Let's move forward to put away. All right. Here's the concept of put away. So in English, put away the toys, put away. Here we go. All right. So we're starting here kind of a squiched o handshape tips together and we're just flinging it, fling, fling. All right? Like we magically have the power to I don't know, be like Mary Poppins and make the toys magically go to where they need to go in the cubbyhole or something, right? Alright, so this is put away. If you want, as you're learning it, just count in your head. One, two, three. So we start here, fling it up, open. Put it back down. The opposite hand, fling it up, open. Put it down. Then another one. Alright, so one, two, three. You're flinging the stuff across the room because you're a super parent, and you know exactly where it goes and what cubby hole or what shelf or whatever, and you're just Bam, bam, bam. Alright? So that is put away. From the side. From the other side. Mm hmm. Alright, let's do it again. Sign with me. Put away. Mm hmm. Okay, I think it's time to put all the pieces together. Alright, so we have time clean up, toys put away. In English, time to clean up, put away the toys or put the toys away. Alright, let's sign the whole thing. Here we go. What do you think? Mm hmm. Okay, let's do it again. Here we go. Okay, these are kind of nice sentences because they can be used together. They fit the situation just fine, but you can also use them independently. Like, maybe you just say it's time to clean up. And the kid already knows you've established what that means. It's time to clean up. Uh huh. Or maybe just go straight to toys put away. All right. When you send the message, because these are not questions. These are affirmative sentences, a declarative sentence. At the end, if you want to give a little nod, that's fine. So time, clean up. Uh huh. Toys, put away. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Okay, good, good. So what do you need to take away from this lesson? Well, once we get to testing, you'll need to know this, alright? Time clean up, toys put away. So you need to know the signs, the concepts for these. Okay? Here we go. Let's do it. Sign with me. All right. Again, here we go. Time, clean up, toys, put away. Alright. Sounds good. 17. Learn | Come to Mommy. Play with Daddy.: In English, we'd say, come to Mommy or play with Daddy. Well, in sign language, we would sign this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. The sign for come looks like this. We're going to use our index fingers, both hands, okay? So first point. Probably our kid, they're playing on the floor. They're so cute. Ah, I just want to hug them, right? So we're like, point at them in their direction, and then come back to you. So rotate to point back to you because it's nice and clear, we want them to come to us, right? Come from the side, come from the other side. Come. Mm hmm. Come. Good, good. Here is the sign for Mommy. Alright, open hand, fingers spread apart. Tip of the thumb, tap twice on your chin. Mommy. This is the same sign for mom. Mother. Mm hmm. From the sign, Mommy. Other sign? Mommy. Okay, so we have Mommy. Moving forward, play. Here is a sign for play. Okay, we're going to use both hands, and it's going to be the Y hand shape. Like in the alphabet, X Y Z. How do you make a Y? Well, start like this. Middle three fingers, put them down, leave your thumb and your pinky sticking up, and that is a Y. If you ever seen the hang loose man, that is a Y shape. Okay? Well, we need two of those two Ys. Start about here with the palms facing in. Now we're just going to shake them, rotate them. Play. Play. Play, from the side, play from the other side, play. Mm hmm. Okay. Here is a sign for Wi Okay. Make a thumbs up. Now make a thumbs up with the other hand. Double thumbs up. Now, bring them together so the palms and the knuckles are touching. Alright? Start in a little bit and go out with Width, from the side, with other side. With Uh huh. With two parts coming together. Now they're together, and they are with Width good, good. Here is a sign for Daddy. Okay? You might notice it's the same open hand that we use for Mommy. But instead of double tap on the chin, we're gonna do it on the forehead. Daddy. Uh huh. And I'm bending now, not because I would bend down in real life. I want you to be able to see my full hand. So if you're signing it regular, just go Daddy, right? So Daddy. Uh huh. From the side? Daddy. Other side. Daddy. Uh huh. Daddy. Good, good. So we've learned all the parts. Why don't we sign it? Here we go. Sign with me. We'll go slow, okay? Come. Mommy. Play with Daddy. Mm hmm. Two complete sentences, just like that. So in English, come to Mommy and play with Daddy. Uh huh. So, in English, we put inflection into our voice to make ourselves sound, I guess, extra friendly and show our love. You know, it's our little Schnookams crawling around there on the floor. Oh how cute, right? Oh, come to Mommy. Well, in sign language, we don't have the inflection, but we have something very powerful, our facial expressions. Mm hmm. So if your cute little kid crawling around the floor and you just want to, you know, give them a big hug and you want them to crawl towards you, maybe you'd be like this. Right? You put it in your face. You're anticipating the moment with your kid. Come Mommy. Uh huh. And same thing with play with Daddy. Play with Daddy. Alright? Put it in your face. If it's like robot. It would be like an English saying, Come to Mommy. And the kid's gonna be like, No, that's okay. I'll crawl in the other direction. Okay, so let's sign both of these again back to back. Here we go. Alright. Again, here we go. Come Mommy. Play with Daddy. Mm hmm. Okay, let's experiment a little bit, and let's switch around the words. So now we have come to Daddy and play with Mommy. Alright? Here we go. Let's do it. Come, Daddy. Play with Mommy. Alright, let's quick switch back. You sign it right when I show it to you. Uh huh. How would you sign this? Come, Mommy. Play with Daddy. Uh huh. Alright, flip it in round. How would you sign it? Come, Daddy. Play with Mommy. Uh huh. Good, good. Okay, so what do you need to take away? What do you need to know from this lesson for our future test? Well, let's take a look. You need to know how to sign this. Okay? When you see it on the test, there's not gonna be any English down here. You just need the signs, the concepts for this, right? So let's do it again. Sign with me. Here we go. Come, Mommy. Play with Daddy. Uh huh. One more time. Okay. Wonderful. 18. Learn | Did you hit your brother.: In English, we'd say, Did you hit your brother? Well, in sign language, we would sign. Okay, let's learn part by part how to sign this. Here we go. All right, index finger, I'm talking to you. So one motion. All right? You're thinking that you're talking to your kid here, something happened, and you're trying to figure out what happened, and you're talking to one of them. Uh huh. Okay, here is a sign for hit. Okay, we're going to use both hands. With my dominant hand, I'm going to make a fist. Like, you're going to hit someone, right? You're going to punch, right? With my non dominant hand, I'm going to use my index finger and just stick it up over here. Palms facing forward, okay? Pointing straight up in the air. Now I'm going to take my fist and I'm going to basically punch my finger. Mm. Or you could just say bring it up to your finger. Do it quickly. It wouldn't be a slow motion. It would be hit. Hit. Depending on how serious the situation is, put it in your face. If it's something that you disdain, you think it's how would you do that? To show how serious, right? If it's funny, right? Hit. From the sign, hit from the other sign. Hit. Okay. Let's do. All right, here's the sign for. Alright, you and I are talking to each other. The hand shape is like this, right? So if you're out like this, tighten it up, thumb alongside. Now we're going to show the open palm, and we're gonna push it forward. One motion. You. Your. Uh huh. From the side, if I was talking to Fred over there, I might be like, r. Sally's over here. I'm talking to her. You. Uh huh. Now I'm talking to you. You. Okay. Brother, here's the sign for brother. Okay, we're going to first start with the hand shapes L, right? How do we make an L? Well, pinky, middle finger ring finger, put them down. Leave your index finger and your thumb like this. It's assigned for loser, right? L. Okay, do that with both hands. Okay. With your non dominant hand, I'm right handed. My non dominant hand is this one. I'm going to put it down here to make a platform, and I'm just gonna lay the thumb down. So we kind of have a flat surface here. If you leave it up, then it's going to get squashed in a moment. So we want to put it down, okay? All right, so we have the L, non dominant hand come down here. Make a platform with this with my dominant hand. I'm going to use the tip. I'm going to touch the side of my forehead and now come down, right? The bottom of the palm, right down. On top over here. That's why we laid the thumb down because if we don't, it crushes the thumb. We don't want to do that. Put it over here. All right, so the full sign slowly is It's two motions. One, two. Brother. All right from the side. Brother. Other side. Brother. Remember, L hand shapes, one down here, put the thumb down. The other one up here, tip of the thumb touching the side of the forehead. Come down. Brother. Brother. Uh huh. Good, good, good. All right. 1 second. Let's see what we got here. Okay, we need to make sure that this is communicated as a question. So first, we need to figure out, is it a WH question, who, what, where when, how and why or which, or is it a yes, no question? Well, if you're unsure, just go back to the English. Did you hit your brother? Well, the kid's looking up at you, and he only has maybe three options, basically two, yes, no, or maybe, but maybe doesn't really fit either or type situation. So it's a yes, no question. So at the end of this question, we're going to raise up our eyebrows, lean forward, have an inquisitive look. Uh huh. What's happening? What's going on over there? Uh huh. When we get to the end of the sentence. You can hold that facial expression for the full sentence if you want, but it gets uses a lot of energy. So I would recommend just sign the full sentence. You hit your, and when you get to brother, raise your eyebrows, lean forward, have an inquisitive look. Huh. Okay. Let's do the full sentence. We're going to practice this and make sure once we get to the question mark, we are going to raise up our eyebrows, you hit your brother. In English, did you hit your brother altogether? Alright, let's do it again. You hit your brother. Alright? Notice when I sign Brother. I lean forward, eyes up, eyebrows up, inquisitive look. Alright? It's not too difficult to have this kind of How could you? Ah, why did you hit your brother, right? Alright. Uh huh. So let's do it again. You hit your brother? Uh huh. Alright, let's do a little experimentation. Let's switch the word. Let's say, did you hit your sister? Mm hmm. So now we need to know the sign for sister, right? So brother is like this starting up here, tapping on the side of your forehead and coming down. Well, sisters pretty straightforward. It's not too much different. Just do it from the side of your chin, alright? Tap the tip of your thumb is touching right here. Now come down. Alright? Sister. Sister. From the sign. Sister. Other sign. Sister. Mm hmm. Okay, so now we can sign the full sentence. Let's do it, shall we? You hit your sister. Uh huh. And you can also add, you know, if you're very upset that it happened, it's not usually a good thing, right? Mm. Put it in your face. Uh huh. Okay. Now, why don't you sign this one? How do we do it? You hit your brother? Uh huh. I just about went to sister, but his brother All right. In back too. You hit your sister? Okay, so this was our lesson, right? And remember, once we get to that question mark, raise up, yes, no question, right? So what do we need to have learned from this lesson? Well, you need to be able to sign this. This is what's going to appear in our test. Now, we learned sister, but to be tested, we're just gonna use brother, alright? So let's sign it again. Sign with me. Here we go. You hit your brother? Okay. H. 19. Learn | Drink your milk. Eat your apple.: In English, we say, drink your milk, eat your apple. Well, in sign language, we would sign this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. The sign for drink is like this. Okay, we're going to use the C hand shape, like in the alphabet, A, B, C. How do we make a C? Well, start like this. Fingers tight together. Now start curving so that it looks like a C. It's a C. Take that. We're going to take the thumb. First, we're going to tilt it forward a little bit like it's a little cup. Put the thumb about here, and you're going to swivel. Like you're drinking. Drink, like you're drinking from the cup. If the C hand shape tilted forward is your cup, put it here, the thumb close to your mouth, and tilt up. I've seen people where they touch their chin. I've seen people where they just get close, but either way they swivel up because it just mirrors, imitates the action of drinking from the side, drink from the other side, drink. Here we go. Drink. Right. The sign for milk looks like this. Okay. Basically, all we're doing is starting with an open fist and closing it. The fist would be like this. We put it here and we're just going to open it up a little bit and squeeze two times. Think milking a cow. One, two. Okay, one, two. If you notice my hand is a little bit tilted this way, it's not straight on. You'd probably still be understood. Just tilt it a little bit, from the side, milk, other sign, milk, from the front, once again, milk. Mm hmm. The sign for eat looks like this. Eat. All right? Make the letter O, like in the alphabet. Oh, now squish it down, and all of the tips of your fingers are together. Now take those tips, touch your mouth or your lips once. All right? Eat. From the side. Eat from the other side. Eat. Alright? Eat. Good, good. Here is a sign for Apple. Okay. We're going to make this hand shape. It's a letter X. All right? Well, you could do just stick up your index finger, curve it down Captain Hook. All right. If we want the long explanation, we could say, right, put these three fingers down, thumb in front. Now curve it. All right. Take the knuckle. Take the knuckle, put it on your cheek and twist twice. All right. Apple. From the side, Apple, from the other side. Apple. All right, so quick explanation. Make an X. Use the knuckle, put it here on your cheek and twist twice. That is apple. Good. Good. All right. We know all the parts. Let's put it together. Sign with me. Here we go. Mm hmm. Just like that. To complete sentences. Alright, let's sign it again. Here we go. Okay? So in English, drink your milk, eat your apple. We're imagining the context, the situation where your kids sitting in their high chair, they're sitting at the table, and they have the uneaten food in front of them and the milk that hasn't been drank yet, right? So you're encouraging them to, you know, finish the meal. We need to get going or just finish it so that we can move on to other things, right? So you can put it in your face if you're a little bit more stern or if you're just sharing information, right? Let's see how it looks when you're a little bit more stern. Alright, L, do it. Get it done. If you just want to be nice, you know, we're sharing information. Oh, you know, drink your milk, eat your apple. You can just nod a little bit, like it's an affirmative. You're reassuring. Uh huh. You need to do it. Uh huh. Okay, let's take a quick look at something because in English, they put your, right? They put your. Now, you could sign it a complete sentence, drink your milk. Alright? So the sign for your tight hand shape and like that, your. But it's unnecessary if the foods and the drinks right there in front of them it's kind of obvious that it's redundant to sign because it's already in front of the kid, right? So if we thought of a situation, we might say this. We might sign this. For example, let's say there's a bunch of apples and each one is marked for a specific child. Well, then it makes sense. We need, right? If we just say drink milk or eat apple, there are a whole bunch of apples. But if we make it more specific, eat your apple, then the kid understands that, you know, I need to get the one that's marked for me or if there are glasses of milk or whatever or bottles of milk, and they each have a little name on them, right? Then it's clear you might want to put your in there, right? Drink your milk. Mm hmm. Alright. But in our situation, we're sitting at home, it's relaxed. The kids got the milk and the apple in front of them on the table, and you're just like, Uh huh, drink your milk, eats your apple. Uh huh. Okay, good, good. Let's take a look. We're going to experiment a little bit. What if we wanted to say we wanted to change them to questions. You drink milk or you eat apple. In English, did you drink milk? Did you eat an apple, something like that. The questions, what would we do? What do you think? Well, these are yes no questions. So we need an answer which is yes, no, possibly maybe. Uh huh. Let's take a look. You drink milk? Uh huh. Notice when I sign milk, I raise my eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. Inquisitive look, you drink milk. You eat apple? You eat apple? Uh huh. I want to know. Eyebrows up. Lean forward. Mm hmm. Okay, let's try the statements. How would you sign these? Drink milk. Mm hmm. Eat apple. Alright? No need to lean forward. Just stay back where you are. Neutral expression or whatever fits the situation, drink milk. Drink milk. Eat apple. Mm hmm. Alright, let's try the questions. How would you sign these? You drink milk. You eat apple. Uh huh. Okay, so this is our lesson. What do we need to know for the test? We need to know this. You need to know this. Drink milk. Eat apple. Alright, so let's sign it. Here we go. Alright. Again, one more time. Here we go. Mm hmm. Sounds good. 20. Learn | Do you want more food.: In English, we'd say, do you want more food? Well, in sign language, we can just sign. Okay, let's take a closer look at this. Here we go. Here is the sign for more. All right, so make two os. Both hands, make two os. Now squish them down. So the tips of the fingers, the thumb, they're all together there. Put them about here, they're facing each other, bring them in and touch. More from the sign, more from the other sign. Me. Mm hmm. More. Good. The sign for food is like this. Alright? It's the same hand shape as when we did more, but now we just use our dominant hand. So I'm right handed. This is my dominant hand. I'm gonna go like this. Okay? We're going to tap twice on our lips. Food. From the side? Food. From the other side. Food. Uh huh. From the front once again. Food. Okay. Interesting to note, there is a difference between food and eat. Mm. What do you think it is? Well, with food, we're going to double tap, and with eat, we just single tap. Alright? So this is food. With eat, it's just once. All right, food and once for eat. Okay, good. We just learned to sign for food. Let's move forward. It's a question. And what kind of question? Is it a WH question? We when how and why? Or is it a yes, no question? Well, look at the English. Do you want more food? Pretty much yes or no, right? We don't need more information yet. It's just yes or no. So it's a yes, no question. What do we do? To indicate a yes or no question? That's right. Raise up your eyebrows, lean forward a little bit, inquisitive look on your face. Uh huh. I want to know. Alright? So when you sign the complete sentence, once you get to the end when you're signing food, do the question expressions on your face. All right? So altogether, it will look like this. All right, so more food. And as you're signing food, eyebrows up, lean forward. All right. Let's do it again. Okay, so in English, do you want more food in sign language? Okay, something interesting that we should note is that if the kid already has some of the food in front of them or they just finished or they had just been eating, if you just want to sign more with the questioning, look, more, then it's clear that we're talking about food, right? Alright? So if you want to go shortcut, we've already established there's a situation we've been eating the food, whatever's in front of us is either gone or it's almost gone. You look at your kid, you're like, they would understand, Oh, more food, right? Or you can sign the full thing. Uh huh. Uh huh. Okay, let's experiment a little bit because this structure here is great. I mean, you can have more of so many things. Alright? So how about more juice? In English, do you want more juice? Alright? Let's do it. First, we have more, and here's the sign for juice. Juice. Alright? The letter J, J or the I, we could say the I hand shape, put it here and go juice. Alright? So this is J, the pinky sticking up, J. Now do it here. Juice. Juice. Juice. Uh huh. So it's easy. You can just sign. Oh, you see the glass is a little bit low or the juice is gone. And when you sign juice, do the facial expressions for a yes no question. Eyebrows up, lean forward, inquisitive look. All right. Let's try it with play. Do you want to play more? Well, in sign language. All right? This is a sign for play. We have the Y hand shapes. How do you make the Y? Go like this. Alright? Hang loose, man. That's a Y. Put them here, two Ys and just rotate them, shake them. Swvel them, I guess you could say. Play. Play. All right. So when you're asking the question, go more play. See how I'm signing play. My eyebrows are up, leaning forward. More play. Uh huh. In English, do you want to play more? Okay, good, good. So let's go through what we just learned. How would you sign this? Right? More food? All right. How about this one? More juice. Uh huh. Juice? That's a sign. What do you think? More play. More play. Uh huh. Okay. So what do we need to know for the test? When the test comes around? You're going to need to know this, All? Two different sentences, questions with more. All right? So sign with me. Here we go. Alright. Again, here we go. More food. More play. Okay, let's do it. Moving forward. 21. Learn | Don’t bite! Stop hitting!: In English, we might say don't bite or stop hitting. Well, in sign language, we'd go like this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this with all the emotion involved. Okay, here is a sign for don't. All right, hand shapes are the same. Fingers tied together, thumb alongside. Alright? Now, I'm right handed, so I'm going to put my right hand here on top, my left hand, my non dominant hand on the bottom, kind of forming an X here. And now we just go out. Don't. Don't. It's kind of a universal sign, right? Don't. From the side, don't. Other side. Don't. Mm hmm. Don't. Okay? The sign four byte looks like this. Okay, we're going to use both hands. With your non dominant hand, I'm right handed. My non dominant hand, I'm going to go like this, tight together. Now I'm going to make a platform, palm facing down. Now, with my right hand, my dominant hand, I'm going to make the letter C. I'm going to come in and squeeze. Like it's Pacman, and he's biting, right? Just bite the finger part of your platform. Bite. At the same time, go like this. It just reinforces we're talking about, bite. Bite. From the side? From the other side. From the front. Uh. Bite. Okay, so we need to make sure A in this example, this situation, we're frankly kind of pissed off, right? The kid little kids been going around biting everybody's ankles or whatever, and we're like, you know, stop biting. And they're like, Okay, ah, right? So we're like, Ah, we're fed up. Don't bite. Don't bint. So, put it in your face. We would do it in spoken English. Don't bite, right? Stop hitting. Put it in your face. Alright? So let's sign it again. Don't bite. All right. Here is a sign for hit. Going to use both hands. I'm right handed, so I'm going to make a fist or letter S, actually, put it about here. I'm getting ready to punch, right? With my non dominant hand, index finger pointing straight up, now go like this. Hit. Hit. Just bring it quickly over and touching the side of your finger. Hit from the side, hit from the other side. All right. Hit. I have seen when people are signing, and usually these situations, you know, it's more frantic. It's quick sign and it's like, Ah. So sometimes people will just sign like this. Hit. Pretty clear. It's a punching motion. It's hit. So they don't always go hit. In this course, to be consistent, we're going to sign hit like this. Hit. Okay. Let's go to stop. Here's the sign for stop. Alright, hand shapes are the same, like this. Fingers tight, thumbs alongside. I'm right handed, non dominant hand, making a platform, dominant hand making a karate chop, right? Mm. Now go like this. Stop. Stop. From the side, stop. From the other side, stop. Alright? Put it in your face, how serious it is to you or how it fits the situation. If it's just like, Oh, it's kind of silly. Oh stop, right? Is pissed off, you're bleeding from the ankles 'cause the kids are hitting you or whatever. Stop. Okay. All right. Exclamation, put it in your face, right? Hit, stop. All right. Let's practice it together. Let's do both sentences. Exclamation, put it in your face. It's good practice. Sign language is so full of expressions. If you take a moment, even if you don't understand the signs, just watch deaf people signing back and forth, having a conversation. Their faces, their eyes are just alive. It's incredible. It's wonderful to watch. So as you're learning, do it, too. It might feel a little awkward, but that's how they do it. Alright. Okay, so let's sign this. Don't bite. Hit, stop. Alright, little bit slower. Here we go. Don't. Bite. Hit. Stop. All right. Again, here we go. Okay, good, good. So we've done the exclamation, but there might be a situation as well where it's, you know, we're not freaked out. We're just kind of maybe it's warning, or we're going to be going into the situation, and we're kind of warning. I mean, we had a history. You've been chopping on people before, so, you know, don't bite. Hit, stop. Just put it in your face, right? Same signs, relax. Alright, again, Don't Bt bite. Hit, stop. Mm hmm. Okay. Alright. So once again like this, o. All right. Why don't we experiment, and we're gonna switch it around. How would you sign? Don't hit. Bite, stop. Same signs? Just the puzzle pieces are rearranged. How would you do this? Alright? Don't hit. Bite, stop. Alright? Again, here we go. Don't hit. Byte, stop. Alright, and the other one. Don't bite, hit, stop. How would you sign it? All right. Back to the other one. How would you sign it? All right. So in this lesson, we went through this. What do we need to know for the test? What do you need to know for the test? You need to know how to sign this. Don't bite. Hit, stop. All right? Exclamations here, put it in your face. Use the facial expressions. Open up, practice, makes improvement.

Well, in sign language, we can go like this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Hey, simple but useful. All right. Here's what it looks like. Alright, the hand shape is like this. Fingers are spread apart. Flat hand. Okay? So I'm trying to get your attention so I would go in your direction. Hey, hey. Uh huh. Let's use some common sense here. I'm not going to get right up in your face and start waving. It's just rude, right? It's just bad manners. If you ever watch deaf people, the more you interact with deaf people, their visual ability, their visual sense sense of seen is incredibly keen. It's incredible. I remember growing up with my deaf brother, he would see things that were there, obviously, but I didn't pick up on them because they were just small little details. But with his extra ability, when you lose a sense, you get even stronger in the other senses, right? So he would see things like crazy. Peep peep ing. It was fabulous. So when you're going like this, it's pretty much guaranteed the deaf person sees you, right, unless their back is to you. But you're like this, uh huh? Use common sense? If they don't respond right away, maybe they're busy with something, uh huh? Hey. Okay, good, good. From the side, if I'm trying to get Sally's, you know, her attention? Hey. Hey, George, Hey. Right? I'm trying to get his attention. Mm hmm. Hey. Okay, good, good. Pay attention to me. Here's what the sign looks like. Okay, hand shapes like this. Both hands, we're going to use. Fingers apart. Uh uh. Fingers together, thumbs alongside. Okay, I'm focused on you or the child, whoever you're my child, right, I'm talking to you. And I want to communicate to you that you need to pay attention to me. So I'm making a tunnel for your vision, right? I'm making the sides of the cave that you need to. Mm. Pay attention. Put your focus on me. Mmm. Okay, pay attention. Can be a directional sign. So in this situation, we're putting the focus on me. So it's coming into me, and I'm directing it from you to me. Alright? Pay attention can also be out if we wanted to focus on someone else, like, pay attention to grandpa or pay attention to whoever that person. Uh huh. Uh huh. But in this situation, it's toward us because it's pay attention to me. Alright? So pay attention to me. Mm hmm. From the side? From the other side? Mm. Okay, good, good. Alright, let's do it all together. Let's sign the whole thing. Here we go. And depending on the seriousness of the situation, like in English, you might be, Hey, pay attention to me, right?

Uh huh. So pay attention. Grandpa, please. All right. Again, here we go. Pay attention. Grandpa, please. Uh huh. Okay. So let's try to imagine a situation more specifically. Now, Grandpa might not be here, right? Maybe we're signing, we're talking about Grandpa. He's going to be coming for a visit. And last time the kid completely ignored Grandpa. So the parent is like, pay attention. Grandpa, please. Mm hmm. Okay? So in that situation, Grandpa's not here, right? He's not physically present. If he's physically present, he's sitting over in the recliner over there. Well, I'm signing to you, you're the child, right? I would go pay attention Grandpa. Alright? Did you see what I did with the sides of pay attention? I put it over in Grandpa's direction, right? Pay attention, Grandpa. Okay? So first, I signed pay attention, and then I made it crystal clear who I'm referring to by saying Grandpa, by signing Grandpa. Alright, I Grandpa's sitting over there, right? And I'm talking to you, you're the child, pay attention. Grandpa. Please. Uh huh. So in this situation, and when we get to the test later, just do pay attention in front. As in Grandpa's not here, and we're just talking about him. You know, when he comes, pay attention to Grandpa, please. Uh huh. Okay, let's experiment a little bit and switch around a sign. Ah.

Now, from the other side. Now. Mm hmm. Alright, let's sign this together. Here we go. Alright, pay attention. Grandma, now. Mm hmm. Alright. Again, let's do it. Pay attention. Grandma, now. Okay, so in English, pay attention to grandma. Do it now. Those small little words down there to it, do. No need to sign them. They don't sign them. It's in a very efficient language.

Well, to sign it, we'd go like this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Alright, I love you. So in English, it's an acronym, I LY, I love you. In American sign language, it's also an acronym because all three letters are within the sign. So here's the sign, right? Like that. How do we make the sign? Well, put the middle two fingers down, and there you go. I love you. Now, when I said the three letters are within the sign, it's like this. We have I. We have L, and we have Y. So all of those together make I love you because you have the pinky and the thumb from Y. You have the index finger and the thumb from L, and you have the I for pinky, right? The pinky right down there. Alright? So that's I love you. Mm hmm. From the sign, I love you. Other sign, I love you. Alright? When you're actually using the sign, you could push it towards whoever you're talking to. Oh, I love you. Uh huh. I love you. Mm hmm. Or you can just make eye contact and go like that, right? Maybe be careful who you're actually making eye contact with. If it's a crowd and everybody's looking at you. Alright? Either way, I love you. Mm hmm. Good, good. Alright, the sign for mommy is like this. All right? We're going to use this hand shape. Fingers spread apart, flat hand, tip of the thumb, double tap on your chin. Same sign for mom. Same sign for mother. Alright? Mommy. From the side, Mommy. Other side, Mommy. Okay, good, good. All right. So this is I Love You, like a compact version of I Love You all rolled into one. There's also a separate sign for love, right? Okay? Here it is. Mm. It's like you hug yourself, right? These are the hand shapes of the letter S, so you can say fist. I'm right handed. I'll put my right hand here, left hand here, the arms crossing, right? So just give yourself a hug. Love. Love from the side, love, from the other side, love. All right. So love can both function as a verb and the noun depending on the situation. Here in our situation, it's a verb, so it's love huh Love. Okay, index finger, just point. We're having a conversation. You're my child, you. I'm going to point at you. One single motion. All right. Okay. Let's put it all together. We learn the parts, let's sign. Alright, so we have the compact. I love you. Mommy. Love you. Mm hmm. A little bit quicker. Okay, good, good. Let's learn something new. And we're going to switch one of the words, as well. Let's do IRLY and Daddy love you. Alright? So you're thinking IRLY Early? Did you spell it wrong? Well, it's another acronym. I really love you. Mm hmm. Boosting it up, alright? I really love you. So this is what this sign looks like, okay? It's another acronym. We have the I, we have the R. We have the L, and we have the Y. So all of those finger signs, the letters acronym is in RLYEarly I guess. And you go like this. So we're crossing, crossing the middle finger over the index finger, right? The ring fingers down, the pinky's up, and the thumb is sticking out. Remember, the regular I love you was like this, right? Now we're going to make IRLYR love you. Just take your middle finger, bring it up, put it around, your index finger. All right. So there you go. From the side. From the other side. All right? Same thing. When you sign it to someone, you could be like, you could be creepy or you could just be straightforward. I mean, with your kid, it's just pure love, right? I really love you. Mm hmm. Assuming they know the sign, too, right? Right? But it's a great one to teach your kid. I really love you. Mm hmm. Okay, so now on the second part, we're gonna do Daddy this time instead of Mommy. So Mommy was a double tap on the chin. Daddy is a double tap on the side of the forehead. Daddy. Daddy. Uh huh. And I wouldn't actually bend down in real life. I just want you to see my hand completely here. Daddy. Daddy. Uh huh. So let's sign the whole thing. Alright, let's do it again. Here we go. Okay, let's go back to the other one. How would you sign this one? I love you. Mommy, love you. Mm hmm. Alright? How would this one? I really love you. Daddy. Love you. Sounds like the Mommy and Daddy are competing for the kids affection. Alright, let's do this one more time. Here we go. I love you. Mommy. Love you. Mm hmm. And this one? I really love you. Daddy. Love you. Okay, good, good. So, what is the takeaway from this lesson? What's going to appear on the test once we get to review? You need to be able to sign this, right? So let's do a little practice. Here we go. A Alright. Remember the facial expression. There's no need to be a robot, especially when you're dealing with kids, right? Put the love on your face.

Mommy, love you. Okay. 28. Learn | It’s bedtime. It's naptime.: In English, we say it's bedtime or it's nap time. Well, in sign language, you can do this. Mm hmm. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Here is the sign for time. Okay, pretty straightforward here. Both hands. I'm right handed, so my non dominant hand, I'm going to make a fist, put that fist down, so we have a platform. It's also the place where we can see the face of our watch or our imaginary watch, right? With your dominant hand, my right hand, take index finger, take the tip, and just tap on the face of your watch where your watch would be, right? Uh huh. Time from the side, time from the other side, T. Mm hmm. Okay. Here is the sign for bed. Okay. You use one hand, your dominant hand, if you're left eye, go like this. If you're right eye like me, go like this. All right? Here's the hand shape. All right. So fingers apart, put them together, thumb alongside, okay? Put it at the side of your face, touching your face. And tilt your head over to wherever your hand is, right? If you're over here on your left, tilt that way. I'm ready, so I'll tilt this way. And then it's a bed. Mm, how nice. Like this is your pillow. From the sign. Bed from the other sign. Bed from the front, once again, Bed. Mm hmm. I have seen beds signed another way as well where people go like this. Bed. Uh huh. So same hand shapes. They kind of make a sandwich there, then they put it over here, tilt it, bed bed. In this course, to be consistent throughout, we're going to sign bed with just one hand like this. Bed. Okay, good, good. Here is the sign for sleep. Okay. So the hand shape starts like this, goes straight down and closes. The tips come together, right? So sleep. At the same time, make this motion in facial expression. Nod your head, close your eyes, right? Sleep. From the side, sleep. From the other side, sleep. Uh huh. So we have sleep. If you need to sign this while you're driving, there's no need to close your eyes, right? You can just make the motion. Sleep. Uh huh. That's fine. Sleep. But the basic sign by itself, you'd be like this. Mm hmm. Let the situation dictate whether or not you close your eyes and it's distracting or not. Okay, so time, what was the sign for time? Do you remember? It was pretty straightforward. Just think, uh huh. Time. Right? Time. Okay? We learned all the parts, so let's put it together. It's just a puzzle. Here we go. Let's sign this. We'll go slow. Sign with me. Here we go. Okay. Again, here we go. Time, bed. Sleep, time. Mm hmm. Okay, little bit quicker. Uh huh. Again. Mm hmm. So in English, it's bedtime, it's nap time. Well, in sign language. Mm hmm. Okay, good, good so we've learned this. I think it's time to experiment, change things just a little bit. What if we wanted to sign them as questions? So in English, the concept is, is it bedtime? Is it nap time? Well, the concept can be the same in sign language, right? We just need to make them into questions. Now, these are yes no questions, right? Is it bedtime? No. Is it bedtime? Yes. We have two options on how to answer. So yes, no question. So what do we do for yes no questions? Well, at the end of the sentence, make sure we raise our eyebrows, lean forward a little bit, inquisitive look, something like this. Okay, let's give it a try. Let's sign time bed. Here we go. All right, so we're still making the motions, time, bed, but at the same time, raising the eyebrows, lean a little bit forward. All right? Time bed. All right, let's try sleep time. Here we go. All right, see when I sign time, my eyebrows raised. Lean forward a little bit, uh huh? Sleep time. Okay, let's sign both of these questions back to back. Here we go. Sign with me. Okay. Remember, if we don't do the question stuff, it's just a regular statement, okay? So let's sign these. Here we go. Mm hmm. See? Just like that, we're going back and forth from question to statement. Alright, let's do the questions. Are you ready? All right, how would you sign them? And the statements? Mm hmm. Okay. So in this lesson, what do you need to remember for the test? You need to remember how to sign this, right? Time bed, sleep time. Okay. Let's do it a couple more times. Here we go. All right, once more. Mm hmm. Sounds good. 29. Learn | Sorry. I'm busy right now.: In English, we say, Sorry. I'm busy right now. Well, to sign that in ASL would go like this. Okay, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Here is the sign for Sy. Okay. Just use one hand, your dominant hand. I'm right handed. We're going to make the letter A, the A hand shape, like in the alphabet, A, B, C. How do we make the A? Well, start with the open hand, fingers together, bring them down, put your thumb tight alongside. There's an A. All right. Now take that A, take the inside part of it, put it right in the middle of your chest and do a few circles. All right? Sorry. Now, an important part of this is to add a facial expression. If something horrible just happened and you're to blame and you're like, It's a bit conflicting. I see, we have the hand signed, but the face looks unconvinced. So if you feel guilty or you did something wrong or you just want to express, you know, I feel bad. Sorry. Uh huh. Put it in your face. From the side. From the other side. Okay, how many circles you do? Depends on you. If you really want to just lay it in there. Oh, uh, you know, sorry. Keep going. If it's just quick? Sorry. Okay, good, good. Here is the sign for now. We're going to use both hands and both hands are going to have the Y hand shape. How do you make a Y? Start like this, three fingers in the middle, put them down. Leave the pinky and the thumb up. There you are. Hang loose. It's a Y. Now take those Ys, both hands, turn them so palms are facing in, put them about here, drop them straight down. Now. All right. Now. Now, depending on the situation and how urgent your message is, you could be like, now or you could be like, now, right? Get it done. Now. So it depends on the context of situation. The basic sign is just like this. Now. From the side? Now, then the other side. Now. Mm hmm. The sign for I index finger straight up. Point it yourself. I. I. Mm hmm. All right. Here's a sign for busy. Okay, we're going to use both hands on this sign. I'm right handed. With my right hand, I'm going to make the letter B, the B hand shape, like A, B, C. Okay? How do you make a B? Well, put all the fingers together, put your thumb in front. That's a B, right? There's the beat. With my non dominant hand, my left hand, I'm gonna make a fist, or we can say the letter S. I'm going to put that fist facing down so we have a platform. Now, taking the palm of my B, I'm going to bring it over to the ridge of my fist, the back of my fist, and just go back and forth. So I'm making light connection, just rubbing back and forth. You don't have to like, and burn up your hand with friction. Just kind of lightly, back and forth. Think of, like, a busy bee moving back and forth, busy busy. Uh huh, from the side, busy. From the other sign, busy. Uh huh. I have seen this sign, sign like this. Where people have two B hand shapes, and the non dominant one goes down, and then they use the other B, same part, the palm part, and they go like this, huh? Busy. But either way, it's more like kind of a frantic movement jerky back and forth, because you're trying to explain or communicate the concept of busy. You're not idle. You're not just floating around. You're busy. Alright? To be consistent, in this course, we're going to use a fist for our non dominant hand and sign busy like this. Busy. Okay. Well, look at that. We've learned all the parts. Let's put them together. Let's sign this. Let's sign together. Here we go. Sorry. Now, I busy. Alright? Again, sign with me. Here we go. Sorry. Now, I busy. Alright? Now let's add in a facial expression for Sorry. The whole situation, 'cause we regret it. Ah, man, I got to do something else. I would like to go with you, whatever I'd like to play with you right now. Sorry. Now, I busy. Kind of the disappointed look on your face. Uh huh. Oh, man, I promised my kid or they have such great energy they want to play right now, but oh, I just can't. Sorry. Now I'm busy. Right? A little bit quicker? Mm. Okay, let's experiment a little bit, and let's try it this way. Okay? Now it's Sorry. Later, I busy. Or in English, sorry, I'm busy later. Alright? So the kid came up to you and they're like, Oh, you know, let's go to the baseball game later. Let's go to the movie later, and you're like, Sorry. Later, I busy. Uh huh. We just we're gonna learn the sign for later. Alright? Here's the sign for later. Both hands, right? I'm right handed. My dominant hand is gonna make the hand shape of L, like an L, but L LN, L, how do you make an L? Well, last three fingers go down and just freeze it. That's an L. L loser. Okay. With your non dominant hand, make this hand shape, right? Open. Now, close it thumb alongside, tight. Put that hand about here so the palms facing across the front of your body. Take your L, tip of the thumb, stick it right here, like it's a clock, and you're going later. Alright? From the side, later from the other side. Later. Uh huh. Later. I have seen people sign later over here, later. To be consistent in this course, we're gonna go like this with the hand later. All right? Just think face of a clock, sticking the hand in there later. Just go down a quarter hour later. Uh huh. Okay, so let's sign this whole thing over here. Here we go. Sorry. Later, I busy. Alright? A little bit quicker. A. Alright, let's sign the other version. Alright? How would you sign this? Okay. Back to the other one. How do we do it? All right. And back to this one. How do we sign it? Sorry. Now I busy. Mm. Okay, good, good.

Here we go. Very important. Remember the facial expressions if you're like, The kids like, they're telling me they're sorry, but their faces like they're so excited that they're not gonna be able they're happy to be busy, right? So just go with your flow, your feelings. If you're disappointed and you want to express that disappointment to your kid. Ah, you know what I just can't, uh huh? Okay. 30. Learn | Stop! Sit down! Play nice!: In English, we might say, Stop. Sit down. Play nice. Well, to sign that we'd go like this. Alright, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. All right. Here's the sign for stop. Okay? Two hands. We're gonna use both hands. Hand shapes are the same. Alright? Open hands, open fingers, close them up, thumbs alongside. With your non dominant hand, I'm right handed. My non dominant hand, make a platform. Alright? With my dominant hand, we're going to make a rotti chop, and we're gonna go, stop stop. Alright? From the side, stop. Other side. Stop. Mm hmm. From the front, stop. Okay. Uh huh. Now we added in the exclamation mark. Now, the sign, the motion is gonna be the same, but the intensity is going to go up a notch and add in a facial expression. Perhaps something like this. Alright, quite a bit more jerky. But the eyes, maybe. Intense? Alright? Sit. Here's the sign for sit. Use the hand shapes of the letter, both hands. How do you make a U? Well, go like this, put your fingers together. Pinky and the ring finger go down, thumb goes across the front, touching the top of the ring finger, okay? That is a U, kind of like scout's honor, right? Keep these fingers together because if you separate them, it's a V. It's also piece man. But we don't want a V. We want a U, U. And we need it for both hands, okay? So I'm right handed. With my non dominant hand, I'm going to put it down here, palm facing down, kind of like a little bench because we have our guy and he's going to go on top and then the legs curl over. Alright, so sit. Sit. From the side, sit, from the other side, sit. Uh huh. So two Us, ones like this. They're both palm down. The top one goes on top and the legs curl over. Sit. Sit. Alright? Now let's add in the intensity exclamation. Sit. Right? In English, you're like, sit down. In sign language, like, Sit Okay. Sign for plays like this. All right?

With my dominant hand, I'm going to start back with the tips of the fingers inside part of the fingers, go like this. Slide forward. Uh huh. Nice. From the side? Nice. From the other side. Nice. Alright? We have Nice. Okay? So let's add in the intensity. Aha. Play. Nice. Put it in your face, add in the facial expression to get really clear communication, right? All right. Do you notice how when I sign nice, it's jerky. It's not nice. It's nice because we have an exclamation here. Mm hmm. Play. Nice. Mm hm as you're signing this, you'll probably notice you're not going to be hanging out here even maybe doing the full sign for play. You just want to get it out there. It might just be a quick play. Nice. Uh huh. Okay. Let's put it all together. Lots of emotion. All right. Here we go. Let's sign this. Stop, sit, play nice. In English? Stop. Sit down. Play nice. Here we go. All right. Again, here we go. Mm hmm. Stop. Sit down, sit, play nice. Okay, good, good. Let's relax a little bit. We're gonna make the same signs, but let's just do them regular regular sentence. No exclamation marks here, okay? How do you think we'd do it? Well, the signs are the same. Less jerky, less frustrated look on our face, right? So, something like this. Mm hmm. So this would be perfect for a situation where, you know, nothing really catastrophic is happening, and you just need them to kind of calm down. They're headed in the direction of Ah, but now they're not there yet. So you just say, Okay, stop, sit, play nice, huh? Ah. Sounds good. Right. Okay, sign with me. Here we go. Alright? You can nod if you want to make it more affirmative. Mm hmm. Kind of the eyebrows up, you know, if you don't keep playing nice, n n n. Alright, let's go back. Ah, the emotion. Here we go. Alright, let's try something extra. Ha. Stop. Alright? We have exclamations and we have normal. So maybe at the beginning, us parents, we kind of lost it. Wait, we never lose it 'cause we're perfect, right? So at the beginning, we're full of emotion. Ah. But then we ask them to calm down, but at the same time, we're calming down, and then we end with play nice. Okay, so let's see what this would look like, and then we'll explore the sign for calm down, okay? Oh, right. So, calm down. This is one of the signs which is so obvious. It's just so expressive. It's easy for anyone to understand, even if you don't speak sign language, or you don't sign, right? Okay? So we're with your body, you're breathing in. Breath is in. Let it out. Alright? Hands here. Hands shaped like this, fingers spread apart. Palms facing down. Now you're just. Alright? Eye contact, right? You're trying to maintain that communication. Calm down, right? Calm down. Same thing in English. We'd put it in the inflection in our voice. We want someone to calm down. I wouldn't be like, calm down. We'd be like, calm down, right? Uh huh. So in sign language? Okay, so let's sign the whole thing together. We're gonna start crazy, calm down ourselves, and then at the end, a sweet play nice. Okay? How about that? Here we go. Alright, let's do it again. Here we go. Alright, let's go back to Let's try this one. All right. No exclamation. Just relaxed. And were you using sit this time? How would you do it? Alright, let's freak out. Here we go.

We're putting the Y out here and then we drop it down. So if the burning hot stove is over there, that Uh it's over there, that. If it's just in general, you don't have an exact object, just go that. You may notice that some people sign that like this, that. They put a platform out here, this hand shape, and they go that. You may see that. I urge you to sign it how your local deaf community signs it, okay? In this course, we're going to be consistent, and we're going to sign like this that from the side, that, from the other side, that. Uh huh. Okay. Here is a sign for hot. Okay, we're going to start with this hand shape right here where the fingers are kind of it's kind of like a claw but more closed in, alright? Point it towards your face. All the tips are pointed at your mouth, and then go and open up your mouth 'cause it's hot, right? You're putting out some hot breath? Hot. And when you come down, your fingers might open up a little bit. That's fine. Or they can stay about the same. It's up to you. The motion we need is hot. From the side? From the other side, hot. All right? Adding in our facial expression helps to explain, communicate how hot the freaking thing is, right? If it's a burning stove, it's red hot, right? We'd like, Hot, right? If it's just a little bit warm, uncomfortable, you could get burnt, you know, hot. Hot. In this situation with the kid, we probably really want to make them, you know, don't touch the stove. Hot. Okay. Here is the sign for touch. We're going to use both hands. I'm right handed. So with my non dominant hand, I'm going to make this hand shape. Who, like that. It's a platform, okay? Palm facing down. We're going to use the back part right here in the middle. With your dominant hand, my right hand, go like this. Now curve down the middle finger, the middle finger. We're going to use the tip, and we're going to touch the back of our hand. Hence touch. The sign for touch. From the side, touch, other sign, touch. Mm hmm. Once again, touch. Good. Here is the sign for don't. We have two things going on here. We have the hand motions. This is the hand shape, right? One here, one here, I'm right here, put my right hand on the inside, don't. At the same time, the facial expression adds in like a negative vibe, right? Mm hmm. From the sign? Don't. From the other sign, don't. Uh huh. Okay, we learned all the parts. Let's put it together. That's why we're here. All right, here we go. That hot. Touch, don't. Alright. Again, here we go. That hot. Touch, don't. Alright? Again, that hot. Touch, don't. Uh huh. Okay, little bit quicker. All right. So you're looking at this, and it says that. That's our example here, and this is how you can sign it. If you forget the sign for that, you're like, Oh, my God, I can't I can't communicate it. No worries. Use your index finger and point, right? Pointing can mean it. You know, that thing over there? Ah, that. This works for that as well. That. In this course, we're gonna use the sign for that. Alright? It's just a nice sign that is good to know, and it is, you know, so easy when we just point. We're going to boost your knowledge, and we're going to do that. All right. But remember, you can use just the pointer finger and point, that freaking hot stove over there. Right? Okay, so let's sign this again, how we're going to do it in this course. Okay. Let's experiment a little bit and learn a new sign. That dangerous. That's dangerous. Don't touch it. I'm going to sign this and then we're going to explore the sign for dangerous. Here we go. Okay. Here's the sign for dangerous. All right. Both hands on this one. With your non dominant hand, I'm righty. I'm going to make this hand shape with my left hand, and I'm going to turn it in so the palm is facing in. Arms like this, pointing that way, okay? With my dominant hand, I'm going to make the letter A. You can even just say a thumbs up sign, right? We're going to bring it down here and we're going to go one, two, right? From the side, may be easier to see. One, two. Alright? I'm lightly touching. This part is lightly touching the back of my inside hand here. All right? You probably wouldn't have to touch if you really don't want to. You could just go in front. Make sure you're making the motion. It's like an upward motion. Dangerous. From the sign, dangerous, from the other side, dangerous. Uh huh. From the front, once again, dangerous. Okay? So let's sign this. We know the signs. Let's put them together. Uh huh. All right. Let's see here. Okay, let's do it again a little bit quicker. Alright, let's go back to this one. How would you sign it? Okay. And this one, how would you sign it? Okay, good, good. So in this lesson, we learn lots of stuff. What do we need to know for the test? You need to know this, that hot, touch, don't. Mm hmm. So let's practice a couple of times. This is what it will look like on the test. If you want to, if you want to sign them separately, you could go like this, that hot, come back to rest. Touch, don't. That's fine, or you can just repeat right after the other. That hot, touch, don't. Okay. Sounds good. Moving forward. 32. Learn | Wait. You have to be patient.: In English, we might say wait. You have to be patient. Well, in sign language, we can go like this. Okay. Let's jump in. Let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Here's the sign for wait. Alright, we're going to use both hands and the same hand shape. This is the hand shape fingers spread apart. Now flip them around, palms facing in, put them a little bit off center, and just wiggle the fingers. Wait. Wait. From the side, wait, from the other side, wait. Alright? Now, the base sign, the sign all by itself. We have a little bit off center, right? Wait. But what do we know about words and signs that they very rarely are all by themselves when we're communicating, right? They go into context, they go into situation. It's more fluid. So you're going to notice that people sign wait in front. They sign it over to the side. They might sign it towards a person. There's a group of people, and one person is just ants in their pants. Wait, alright? So wait can move around, just make sure that the palms are facing in and your fingers are wigglinguh? Wait. Good, good. Alright? Here is the sign for must. We're going to make the letter X, the hand shapis letter X. You could also say the captain hook, right? Index finger, bend it down. That is your hook. Mm hmm. The thumbs just in front of all the other fingers, X. Now, take the X, point the tip of the finger straight in front of you. Whoever you're talking to just point it towards them. All right. Now just drop it down. Must must, from the side, must, from the other side, must. All right? This is the same sign for need, need to have to, must. Uh huh. Good, good. Here is a sign for patient. Okay, the hand shape, just one hand on this one, is a letter A. Okay? You can kind of say thumbs up, but the thumbs a little bit closer to the other fingers like that. Okay, we're going to put it in front of our mouth, and the part right about here is touching the chin. We're going to start up a little bit, go down. All right. Patient. Patient. So the back of the thumbnail or the thumbnail, you could say is kind of at the top lip, and it just goes down. Patient. Now, you wouldn't actually have to touch your face if you don't want to, but you need to get close enough to make sure the sign is visible. Patient. Patient. All right? I touch my face, just feels comfortable. That's how I sign it. Patient. From the sign patient. From the other sign. Patient. All right? Patient. Okay? We learned all the parts. Let's put it together. Here we go. Wait, must, patient. All right? Again, sign with me. Here we go. Wait, must patient. Alright? So in English, wait. You have to be patient or you got to be patient. Well, in sign language, Okay, a little bit quicker. Okay? Remember your facial expression. Use it to fit the situation. If the kids, you know, hopping around like crazy and you're losing your patience, and you're just like, and then they're back at you. We ask them to be patient all the time when we get impatient. Ah. Okay, so, put it in your face. If you're chill, the moment's not such a big deal, but, you know, we're starting to get a little bit antsy. Kind of like a matter of fact, you got to be patient, must patient, how it is. Mm hm. All right, let's learn something new. Aha. Now let's do wait, must responsible. This could fit another completely different situation, right? So I'm going to sign it, and then we're going to explore the sign for responsible. Here we go. Okay, so the sign for responsible looks like this. All right? The hand shapes are the same. Kind of like fingers together, curved down a little bit here, like a shelf, kind of. Now we're gonna tap on our shoulder twice. So I'm right handed, so I'm gonna go to my right shoulder. If you're left y, go to your left shoulder. Alright? So tap twice. That means responsible. Mm hmm. Alright? 1 second here. Okay. So from the side, we have responsible from the other side, responsible. Alright? From the front, just tap twice. Responsible. Kind of like something's on your shoulders, right? You have responsibility. You're responsible, right? Mm hmm. Okay, so let's sign this. Here we go. We have wait must responsible. Mm hmm. Wait, must responsible. Alright? Let's see. How about the other one? How would you sign this? Wait, must patient. All right? Let's go back. How would you sign this? Wait, must responsible. Mm hmm. Like, wait. You need to earn my trust, maybe to be responsible. You need to be responsible, earn my trust, something like that. Wait, must responsible. Okay. Alright, so we learned many things in this lesson. What do we need to know for the test? Well, you need to know this wait must patient. Alright? Let's do a couple practice rounds. Here we go. Okay. 33. Learn | Are you okay? Where does it hurt?: In English, we might say to our kid, Are you okay? Where does it hurt? Well, in sign language, we can communicate that by going like this. All right. Let's jump in. Let's learn this. Here we go. This sign for you, index finger. Point. Whoever you're talking to your child, person, whatever, face your body toward that person. I'm talking with you right now. So I'll face single motion. Uh huh. Okay. All right? We're just going to use the letters, O and K. How are we making O? Go like this, fingers together, bring the tips down. So we're we're literally drawing an O in the air, uh huh? So K is like this. Put the pinky and ring finger down. You have these spread apart. Put your thumb in between. Alright? That is a K, K. So K and O. So we have O K. All right? Let's do it a couple of times. Oh, K. Okay. This is a very common sign. It's just gonna be a blur when you see deaf people signing it. Okay, right? So so fast. Okay. From the side. Okay. Other side. Okay. Uh huh. Okay. Now we have a question, yes, and what kind of question is it? Well, let's take a look. In English, if you ask me, are you okay? Well, I have a couple answers. Yes, no, and I suppose I could say maybe. But either way, it's a yes no question. So what do we know about yes no questions in sign language? Well, you're going to raise your eyebrows, lean forward a little bit, have an inquisitive look something like this. So when you sign this question, just the top one right there, go like this. So as you're signing okay, raise your eyebrows. Lean forward, inquisitive look, questioning look. You can do it through the whole sentence if you want. You can go okay, or you can just go, you okay. Either way, you need to make sure once you get to the end of the sentence, raise your eyebrows, lean forward because we want to communicate a yes, no question. Uh huh. You okay. All right? Let's move forward. Hurt. Here is the sign for hurt. Okay, we're going to use both hands, and both hands are going to be in the index finger shape, like you're going to point, right? And we are going to point. We're going to point towards each other. Now, my right hand, my dominant hand, the palm is going to be a little bit twisted up, right? With the other one, it's going to be pointed across, and I guess the palms more straight down because we're going to do a twist. Allright? We're going to twist. If there was, like, a rope or something connecting them, I don't know, you're twisting. From the side, twist. Alright? So hurt from the other side. Hurt, right? So start like this and twist. Hurt. Hurt. This also works for pain. All right. So hurt. All right. Here is a sign for where. Index finger, your dominant hand. I'm right handed. Just put it up here, palm facing forward, point straight up, and just wag back and forth. Where? Where? All right? That's the base sign for where W. Good, good. All right, now we need to make it a question. And this is who what where when, how, why, which question? We can just say a WH question. Before we had a yes or no question, we raised our eyebrows, leaned forward. Well, with a WH question, like in English, where does it hurt? We need more information now. It's not just yes or no. How do we communicate it? Well, we're going to furrow our eyebrows. All right? Kind of have a questioning, inquisitive look on our face. It's a serious situation. Uh huh. So when you sign where, go like this. All right? You can have your chin doing that thing. Uh huh. So when you're signing this full sentence down here, go like this. Uh huh. Good, good. So, we learned all of the parts. And the interesting thing about this situation is that first, we have a yes, no question, eyebrows up, lean forward. Then we have a WH question, eyebrows furrowed and a little bit kind of grouchy. Look on your face. But in this situation, it's more like caring. You're worried. What's happening? Uh huh. Alright, so let's go slow. Let's sign the first question and then sign the second question. Sign with me. Here we go. Alright. Again, here we go. Okay. So it's good practice. Eyebrows, lean forward. Yes, no question. And then for a WH question like this. Alright, let's do it again. Here we go. Are you okay? Hurt? Where? All right, little bit quicker. All right, again, here we go. A little bit quicker. Okay, good, good. Let's switch it up a little bit, change something, and learn a new sign. Okay? So now we don't have questions. We just have statements, right? So we're giving out declarative informative statements, right? So, okay, and not hurt. So let me sign it, and we'll talk about the sign for not. Okay, so you okay? Just don't do the question stuff. Just go like this. You okay. You can even nod if you want. You're okay, right? Alright, not hurt, point, not. We're gonna go like this. No. Alright? Make the A hand shape, kind of like the thumbs up with the thumbs little bit closer in. Use the tip of the thumb, put it under your chin and flick out, not from the side, not from the other side, not. Uh huh. So we have not. So the sentence down here, we have not hurt, right? No question stuff because we have a statement here. Alright, let's sign the whole thing all the way through. Here we go. You okay. You not hurt. All right? Nod your head, have a reassuring look on your face. The kids probably freaked out because something happened. They fell off their bike and you're looking them over, but they're okay. So we can help calm them down, right? Okay, good, good. Let's do the questions. How do we sign this? You okay? Hurt? Where? Alright? Back to the statements. What do we do? Okay, good, good. All right. So in this lesson, we learned questions. We did statements. We did quite a bit of stuff. Fabulous. What do we need to know for the test? You need to know this. You okay? Hurt? Where? All right? Let's do some practice. All right. One more time. All right. Sounds good. 36. Practice | Testing All Phrases: Practice before the test. The big test. All right. That's right. We've studied and learned and learned and learned. Now it's time for review to prove what you've learned. Okay. So the first part, you're going to sign. See the hand down there. I will show you something. I will start the timers for 5 seconds, and you sign. Try to beat the timer. Okay. Let's do a quick practice test so you get an idea for the format. Here we go. Okay, so that will be the first part. You sign what you see, raise the timer. If you need to pause the video because the time's going too fast and you want to take a little bit more time, that's fine. Okay. So in the second part, no timer. And you're going to see that little guy down there. You're going to take a look at me. So I'm gonna sign, and you're going to take a look, uh huh. He's doing something. Try to figure out what I'm signing. Aha. Uh huh. Me, I will sign. You uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, try to figure out, try to understand. I'm only going to sign it once.
