3. Learn | Hello. How are you?: In English we might say, hello, how are you? To get the equivalent in American Sign Language? We could sign Hello, how are you? You might notice there is a difference. Alright, the Azure studying Azure moving forward in American Sign Language, it becomes clear that what we say in English, how we formed the sentences in English is often different once we get to ASL, sometimes it's strikingly similar, almost word for word the same. Other times things are switched around, some words are different in its Ha, this is part of learning a new language, right? So in this specific example, it says in English, how are you? All right? Well, it's absent once we get to the signs because in ASL, They don't sign the small words like am, are, was, were, the AA and they throw them out. It's a very efficient language. It goes straight to the point. All right, so let's go step by step. Let's start signing. We're gonna learn word by word. How does sign this? Alright, here we go. Head low. Alright, this is what it looks like. Hello, right? The hand shape is like this, right? No gaps between your fingers, nice and tight right there. All right. The inside of your index finger, put it to the side of your forehead and go out. It's basically like a flamboyant solute, like in the military or whatever. Solute. It. Hello. From the side. Hello. Okay, good, good. Alright, let's go to how this is, what it looks like. This, what this sign looks like. How? Alright. How? So we have the hand shapes like this. All right. Kinda just they're just loose. Take the middle knuckles and put them together so they're lightly touching right now are flat. Now turn them forward. Alright. How, from the side? How other side? How? Alright, the hand shapes once again, You're like this. Turn them in fingers together. Now this curve down, right? Now, put the knuckles together and go how? Alright, how? Alright, good, good, good. Now let's move to you. Take your index finger like you're gonna point and you are going to point. So I'm talking to you. So I will go, you write just one movement in your direction. You now they might say it's rude to point. But if you don't point in American sign language are going to have a huge obstacle when you try to have clear communication. So just sign you. Alright? Okay, good, good. Now this is a question and we need to make sure that we communicate that it's a question. Now we're getting into facial expressions. Are faces in American sign language are so helpful for communicating what's happening. Alright? So this is a how question, alright? And when we get to how it's grouped in with the WH, question words like who, what, where, when, how, and why, right? So when we do these type of questions, we furrow our eyebrows. Now we kind of frown a little bit, but basically don't think of frowning. Think of that you're trying to investigate something. You're trying to get some information. So your faces kind of like this. Your chin might kind of go up a little bit, your eyebrows go down a little bit. That's how we communicate a WH question and it's how right, how is included in with the WH questions? Who, what, where, when, how, and why. Okay. So when we're signing, how you are. Eyebrows go down a little bit. Alright, so watch me. Here we go. How you alright, see My face is like I'm focused, I'm investigating. I want to know what you have to say. How are you? Okay, good, good. Let's do it all together. Alright, step-by-step. With me. Here we go. Hello. How are you? All right, let's do it again. Here we go. Hello. How are you? All right, so English, it's hello. How are you in sign language? It's hello. How are you? All right, remember to communicate the question. Use the facial expression. If you just go like this, you'll probably be understood, but they'll kinda think you like a robot. The point in American Sign Language is to use all of your tools and your face, or it's a magical tool for communicating, even in English, right? You can read someone's facial expression and get extra information about how they feel, what they're trying to communicate, or they deceiving me, are they telling the truth? Wow, so much we can do with our face. Okay. So remember when you're saying how you in American Sign Language make a face card like this. Alright? How you, alright, so once again, it's hello. How are you? All right, good, good. Let's move forward.
4. Learn | Hey, what’s your name?: In English we might say, Hey, what's your name to get the equivalent in American Sign Language, we would sign, hey, name you. Alright, so let's jump in and learn word for word, how to sign this, right? Let's start with, hey, it looks like this. Alright, you're just taking your kinda limp hand, write like this, put it like this, wave at a couple of times. You're trying to get someone's attention. So in English we would use an auditory hey, right? Hey, and then the person hears us and hopefully turn to look at us in American sign language, we're going to do something visual, right? So like that, you're going to notice the more you hang around with the deaf community, their visual ability is astounding. That's the best word I can find. Its incredible. Grown up with my brother, he would notice things that I would not notice, either small details, small movements, or just things that were there. Right. But I didn't pick up on. They say that deaf people are some of the best drivers out there because they're so visual, they take it all in and it's just, it's astounding. That's the best word I can come up with it. So to get someone's attention, just go like this. Go like this. Now please use your common sense. Don't go right up in someone's face and go, hey, right. So your hands i right in their face as his route, right. Just hang out and be like, hey, they'll most likely definitely, they're going to see your hand. Alright. Hey, alright, good, good. Let's move forward to name. Right here is the sign. Name. Here is the hand shape, is the letter you or how do we make the u? Well fold the pinkie ring finger down, index finger and middle finger come together, tuck your thumb in. That is a you like an alphabet you right? I'm right handed, so I'm gonna take my left-handed, you put it down here, so it's flat at the top is flapped. Take my right handed you and now I'm going to tap on top twice. Name, name from the side. It looks like this name. Alright. Other side name. Alright. I hope are signing with me. Name. Good, good. Alright, let's go to you. Use your index finger. Wait, we already talked about this. How do we assign you a few? And I are having a conversation. How would we sign you? Well, index finger end point, right? You just one single movement. You write if the person's over here and you're selling an attack to them, show some respect. Turn your body, you write, I'm talking to you know, aha, you. Alright? So we need to communicate that this is a question, right? And we're going to use our facial expressions. Now this type of question, we need some actual piece of information. And when I say that we don't start a question where we just need yes, no, or maybe we need a name, right? So name you. What's her name right, in English? So we're going to furrow our eyebrows when we ask this question. Now, furrowing our eyebrows communicates that we need a piece of information, you know, please give us this piece of information. We're asking for it. Alright? So when you get to name, you could go name, you write, you see how my face goes like that. It's a questioning kinda investigating a questioning look on your face. All right. Now you don't have to hold that like this through the whole sentence. You can do it once you get to the last part, you can even do it when it's name, you name, you are just our right. So let's do a little practice. Sign with me. Let's sign this. Alright, so I'm talking to you. I would say, hey, name, you write again, let's sign it again. Here we go. Hey, name you. Right here we go. Hey, name you. Alright? And when you're going like this, if it's not something as simple as a name for something more serious, you know, you can move your hand in relation to how serious the situation is, alright? If this is someone's name, you probably be relaxed. Hey, name you. Okay. All right, so let's do it one more time. I'm not going to talk. This is what it would look like without any sound. Alright, let's move forward.
5. Learn | It’s nice to meet you.: In English we might say, it's nice to meet two. In ASL we would sign. Okay, so let's break it down and let's learn how to sign this. Alright, nice, right here is the sign per Nice. Alright, we're going to use these hand shapes. I'm right-handed. Once again, tight fingers together, no gaps between the fingers. I'm right handed, so I'm gonna take my left hand and form a platform, nice and flat. Okay. With my right hand, I'm going to put it on top. Started back in, slide forward. Alright, lightly touching the bottom hand, right? So it looks like this. Nice. Nice from the side. Nice, other side. Nice. Okay, as an editor information, this also means clean, but it just depends on the context, what it means when we're assigning it. So here it is. Nice. So let's do it. Nice. Nice. Alright, here we go with me, meet you. And you're like, what the heck does this mean? Summer capital letters, small letters? Well, signs in American sign language are not always direct translations of a one word vocabulary word in English, signs are more up concepts. Think of concepts, right? So in English we say it's nice to meet you. So when we sign this part, where literally sign in that would be understood as me meet you. All right, so let's first break it down. The sign for meat, see its capital letters there. Now this is the generic sign for meat. Alright, let's do the hand shapes. Index fingers, right? Took everything else in, turn, your knuckles towards each other and they come together and then they lightly touch because there's two people meeting, right? Meat. So that's the generic sign. However, meat is what you could call a directional sign. It depends on the situation. So in this situation, you have me and you are you and I, right? And I'm gonna put this one here to represent you, my non-dominant hand. That's you. And this is me. So me meet you. Alright. If it was me made her I would be like over there this would represent her me me her him may meet him. Alright. Or given the situation, it could be he meet me. Right. He's come into me, me, or she's come into me, me. Right? In this situation. Me, Me, you. Ok. So this part right here would look like this. Alright, good, good, good promise side. Other side. Okay? Alright, lets take a look at the whole thing. So we have nice meet you. Literally, Nice me meet you. Alright. Let me do it from the side. So pretend you're watching me and I'm talking with the person over here and I'm saying, alright, don't forget your facial expressions. Your same nice to meet you showed in your face. You won't be like maybe well, you probably place to meet two. Ok. So sign with me. Let's sign this. Here we go. Okay, so English, once again, it's nice to me to the concept of sign languages. Nice, that's pretty straightforward. Then me meet you. So this is u, this is me, me meet you altogether. It's alright, good, good.
6. Learn | Take care. See you later.: In English we might say, take care, see you later. To sign that in ASL, we would do this. Alright, let's jump in and take a look. The first part, take care, looks like this. Alright, you might be wondering why is the take lowercase and uppercase. Well, take is understood as part of the concept. All right, take care, but you're not like taking something from someone. It's like take care. So take his part of the concept, but care, the sign for care or careful is like this. Now together this concept, we're going to go like this. Ok, so how do we do this? We're going to use the letters K, both hands, right? K from the alphabet. How do you make it k star with the open hand, put your pinky and your ring finger down. Leave these two up, index and middle finger. Take your thumb and stick it, place it between, right? Alright, so the bottom part of the thumb is kinda pushing against the side of the middle finger, but it's still in between the index and the middle finger. Alright, so that's a k. We're going to have K's with both hands. Now I'm right handed, so my left handed, I'm going to put that one down my left hand k. And that's going to be like the base, my right-hand K, I'm going to take the palm, the bottom part and go like this. All right. Take care. All right. Two times from the side. Other side. Take care right from the front. Make sure to sign with me. Here we go. Take care. Take care. All right. So that's the first part of the concept of Take care. Now let's move forward to the concept of See you later. Same thing, something similar here. U is not capitalized because literally we're not going to sign you, but we are going to sign similar to later end C. Alright, so first, the sign Percy is like this. Right? You have the letter v. You take the the tip of your middle finger, turn it towards yourself and put it alongside your nose. You can kinda touch the top part of your cheek and go see, alright, see, you don't have to touch your face. That's OK. See. Right. So let's see. Later the sign would actually be like this. Later. Hand like this. We have the L, stick it here and it goes down later. Alright, so we're going to use this part of later, and we're gonna use this part of C, But it combines to go like this. Right? Take a look from this side. Alright, so si's going forward than it pops into the l and points kind of like you're like, hey man, right? Just do it a little bit higher, right? See you later. See you later. Right from the side. I'll do a slowly other side. Right. So you're transitioning from the sea, which is the V turned into wards, you transition to the l, which is part of later. Alright, this is the l, right? So see you later. Three later, right? So all together, let's take a look at it. So take care once again was just two tabs. Now, see you later. Remember it ends like you're like, hey man, Right? But it's just a little bit higher. Alright. Altogether. Take care. See you later from the side. Other side. All right. Remember the facial expression maybe I should say, Don't forget the facial expression. This is, you know, it's positive. Take care, see later you probably want to see them again and you're wishing them good energy, take care, right? So maybe even smile. Right here we go a couple more times. Alright, let's move on.
7. Learn | Tell me how you're feeling.: In English, we might say, tell me how you're feeling. Well in American Sign Language would look something like this. Alright, let's jump in. Let's learn how to sign. There's Alright, we have tell, we have me, there are two separate signs, but here they're connected and we're going to make a hybrid of the signs. So first, if we just take the sign, tell it's something like this. Alright. Tell if we wanted to sign me, we go like this, me, me. So if we did each sines separately, it would be tell me. Now there's a much easier way to do it in ASL does this, it goes like this. Tell me, alright, from the side it looks like this. They're just dropping down right from the chin, index finger on the chin, straight down to me. In other words, tell me from the other side. Tell me right from the front. Tell me very efficient. Tell me. Okay. Alright, let's move forward to how right here's the handshape, right? Like this. Bring the knuckles together and go how how? From the side, how other side, how? Okay, so we have how? Now we're going to go to you. Rate forward index finger, you single motion, right? You I'm talking with you so you feel alright. Open your hand, turn it, put down the middle finger. Only bend down the middle finger only. Now take the tip of the middle finger, bring it here and you're gonna go 12, right? That works here for feel, right. Notice our attorney communicate. Tell me how you're feeling. Right. So we're going to do two swipes. In other circumstances, if you're just like if it was Tell me how you feel. Alright. We were focusing on the word or I feel happy, feel something like that. We could just go once. But since here we're focusing on and tell me how you're feeling. We're gonna go twice. 12. All right. There may be variations in how your deaf community signs it. I would urge you to follow them. This is how I learned. Okay. Alright. So we have feel from the side feel, other side feel right from the front. Members sign with me. Here we go. Feel feel. Now you don't actually have to touch your shirt or your chest. I do it. I like to friction because it tells me one and then I need to do it again too. But if you just want to get close, feel that's alright too. Alright, let's do it all together. Alright, let's go slow is signed with me. Here we go. Tell me how you feel. Let's do it again. Hearing oh, tell me how you feel. Alright. So we have how in there but this time we're not asking a question, so we don't have to worry about communicating with our face steadies a question. It's just a statement, right? Tell me how you feel. Right. Again. Here we go. Okay. So this Wi's, tell me how you feel.
8. Learn | Yes or no. What do you think?: In English we might say yes or no. What do you think? Well, in sign language would be something like this. Alright, let's jump painless. Learn how to sign this. Right here we go. Let's start with the sign for yes. And I were going to use the letter S from the alphabet like St, U is basically a fist. Go like this. Make a face, put your thumb in front. All right. Now as it's placed like this, the palms facing forward, we're gonna go. Yes. Alright. In some situations, perfectly appropriate to go? Yes. You're eager to affirm something. Yes. Right? Maybe it's a just a simple yes. Depends on the situation. Both of them work. Ok. So from the side we have yes. Other side we have yes. Okay. Let's go to no. Right here's what it looks like. No. So what we're doing is we're using these two fingers, putting them together, leaving the thumb out. And now it's like a crocodile kinda going like this. Now pointed at two towards whom you are, whoever, whomever you're talking with. Alright, so know, if I'm talking with you and I want to indicate to, you know, I'd go No. Right from the side. My person is here I'm trying to communicate with no. From the other side. No. Right? No. Okay. If you'll notice here, we have yes, no. Down here we have yes or no. So how do we communicate in sign language? The or basically have two options, right? Yes or no. Well, this is what it would look like. I'll show you and you try to figure out how it's communicated. Okay? What do you think? Let me do it one more time. Okay. It's pretty obvious that my body moved right. I didn't Springer spell or do a specific sign PR or but with my body first, I went over to this space. Yes. And then I went over here and sign no. And just doing the signs in two different spaces communicates that there are two options, right? And then we fill out the sentence, you know, you'd think what? Alright, so here again, once again, sign with me. Move your body. Yes or no. Alright, now this can work for multiple things. This could work for different objects. It doesn't have to be these words. It could be the house, it could be the car, could be like different things. House, car, alright. Whatever the situation is, where you have two options and you're trying to give the person a choice, right? So once again, for our situation, yes, no. Alright. Alright, there's moved forward. Next word is you, index finger. You, whoever you're talking with, you think, use the index finger again and go like this, I think makes sense because we use our brain to think right from the side. Think, other side. Think. Think. Right now the sign for what I'm just going to show you the hand motion, right? So the palms are up, fingers are loose and were just like, alright, we're trying to figure out something white, right? In this situation, we want to be clear that we are communicated it as a question, right? So when we're making the sign for what, what do we do with WH questions? Who, what, where, when, how, why? What do you think? What do you remember? Well, we need the furrow our eyebrows and we can raise her chin a little bit. So Omar's signing what In this sentence we'd go what? Right? Do you see how it's an inquisitive look on our face, something we're trying to find out here. Okay, so let's move forward. Let's try doing the whole sentence. Alright. So in English, yes or no, what do you think in sign language? Yes. No. You think what? Alright. Here we go. Sign with me. Yes. No. You think what? Right. Again, here we go. Okay. So when I'm furrow in my eyebrows at the end of the sentence, you could do it through the whole sentence, but it's kind of tiresome to be like. So I would recommend that just do the fraud eyebrows when you're trying to communicate, when you're trying to make it clear that it's a question. And here it is at the end of the sentence, right? So it'd be something like this. Yes, no youth think what? Right. So when I'm signing, yes. No. You think, you know, look, my eyebrows are not further night kind of frowning. There's nothing like that. It's just regular. But once I get to what? It's like that Yes, No. You think what? And suddenly it's crystal clear that you are expecting a response. You ask the question, alright, sign with me a gerund. Here we go. Okay. So we just learned? Yes, no. You think what? All right. Sounds good.
9. Learn | May I go with you?: In English, we might say, May I go with you or can I go with, can I go with you through all of those options in sign language, we can just sign. Okay, let's jump in and learn how to sign this. Here we go. Alright, first we have I, use your index finger and just point to yourself. All right. I, i right. When we're doing with OK, we're going to make these hand shapes is basically the letters a, thumbs up to the side, the fingers are down. Now turn them like this. So the knuckles are facing forward. Now put them together so they're touching. So you have them here and push together in a little, a little ways forward, alright, width. So you have like two people there at the other end. Width. All right, with from the sine, with from the other side with this like that. Okay, so we want to communicate that it's a question, alright? This type of question is what we would call a yes or no question. First, let's look at it. English. If I said to you, May I go with you? You have basically three options for answering. You could say yes, you'd say no, and you can maybe you could say maybe, right. So it's a yes, no question. It's not like a question. Like, what is the color of your house and why is it painted that way? Back question. I can't say yes or no. I need to give more details. So here we have a yes or no question when assigning American Sign Language is still a yes or no question. So when we communicate the question, we're going to raise her eyebrows, lean forward a little bit in razor chin. Hmm, let me show it to you. Here we go. Alright. I with i. So when you're signing with raise your eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. Raise up your chin. Those it's like you're you want to know is another inquisitive look on your face. And I'm like, what do you think? Yeah, good idea. Alright, so I alright, let's do the poll sentence. Okay, so in English, May I go with you? Sign language. Here we go. Right. The whole thing we could just sign. Because if you're going if you're asking this question, we're assuming there's some sort of context already in place where someone is leaving, someone's going shopping, someone's going to a movie. I don't know. But you're stepping in and you're asking if you can accompany them, right. So all you would need to say is all right? I will. Right. So remember, when you sign with to make search a question, raise your eyebrows, lean forward. Kind of inquisitive. I want to know, look on your face. Alright, here we go. Okay. So this was an English. May I go with you in sign language. Okay.
10. Learn | Where is the restroom?: In English we might say, where's the restroom? To sign the equivalent, we would do this. Alright, let's jump in and learn how to sign this. Here we go. First, we're going to start with restroom. Here is the sign for restroom. Alright, we're going to use the letter are like st or RST in the alphabet, right? How do we make it our, we'll get rid of your pinky, your ring finger. Now cross your fingers and put your thumb in front. Alright, so the middle finger goes behind the index finger, or you could say the index finger goes in front of the middle finger. Or you could just say make the hand shapes honey-like. Or I hope it happens. I hope it happens or, you know, I'm crossing my fingers behind my back or her. It's just that hand shape that is the r. Okay. So once again, our, alright, now when we do restroom, we're gonna use the letter R and we're going to start here. We're gonna go 12. All right. So 12, that is restroom from this side. Rest room. Other side rest room. Right. So sign with me here we go. Rest room. Rest room. Right. Moving forward. Let's sign where. Okay. So this is the sign for where? Just use your index finger and waving back and forth. Where see my palms facing towards you and my like this and like this, right? Where where now we need to make sure we're communicating it as a question. Aha, it's a WH question. So what do we do? Who, what, where, when, how we've pero the eyebrows, right. I have a little face like this. So where where where okay. Put it altogether. We have restroom where? Now you don't have to throw your eyebrows for the poll sentence. It's a short enough sentence that you could, it's not a big deal. You can also just go like this. Restroom, carbon-neutral restroom, where now the important thing is that once you get to wear and you're signing where you need demonstrating, show communicate that it's a question. Right. So where? All right. So this is restroom. You may have seen bathroom which is like toilet that is just making the tea and going like that. Bathroom. I would say bathroom is more informal evenness spoken English, when you say restroom, maybe you're in a restaurant or something. I don't know. Either way you have two options. You could say bathroom with the tea to shake it back and back and forth, or you can say restroom. So once again, we just learned how to sign restroom. Where very important question.
11. Practice | Testing Group 1: Practice before the test. What? A test. Yes, that's right. Tests are half. In this course. We're going to do lots of review and testing them.

And as we're learning, each one will divide it into words and learn each individual sign, put it back together and do practice. Ok, let's jump in.
15. Learn | Do you have a car?: In English we might say, do you have a car? Well, the equivalent in American Sign Language would be, OK, let's jump in and learn how to sign this, right? Let's start with car. Here is assigned for car. I think it's pretty straightforward. The hand shapes are the same. They're the letter s. You could also say their fists like pull up your dukes fists. So we have the S. Now we're going to use those and pretend that we're grabbing a steering wheel, the steering wheel of the car right? Now, just turn it a couple times. Alright, car. From the side car. Other side car. Okay, let's do it a couple of times. Here we go. Car. Car. Alright, good, good. Let's learn the sign. Pour half. Here's the sign. Alright, the hand shapes are the same. There's something like this. Okay. Hands up, curb them down. Now tilt them forward and we're going to move them like this. They're going to start out a little ways from your chess, then go in. Alright, so have, have, just think like you're taking possession of something, right? Have from the side, have, other side, have. Alright. Okay, so we need to make sure that we communicate this as a question. Alright, so we look at the English sentence. It says, do you have a car? Now, how could you answer this? It's a yes, no question, right? You could say yes. You could say no. And I suppose you could say maybe, Right? So in sign language we need to communicate that it's a yes, no question. Alright. So once we sign have we have the question mark there? Were going to raise our eyebrows, lean forward a little bit and have kind of an inquisitive look on her face like this. All right. We want to know something. Alright. We wanted to know, I want to know do you have a car? Okay, so this is what it would look like the whole sentence. Here we go. Alright? And in this situation, we are assuming that you and I are routing, communicating. We're already talking when we bend a little while. So there's no need for me to say You. Alright? Um, I'm talking to you. It's understood that I'm talking to you. I'm not referring to fret over there, Sally over there. So if I say if I sign to you, it's quite clear that I am communicating, you know, do you have a car? All right. Now it's, it's important to make sure that at the end of this sentence, eyebrows go up. We lean forward a little bit, maybe to note like that, because if we don't do it, then it actually is this. Alright? Like I have a car. All right, so here's what this would look like when it ends in a period, just a sentence, a statement. Alright. I just communicated to you that I have a car. Alright. If I go like this, I just communicated to you that I'm wondering if you have a car. Once again, here's the difference. All right, so you see it. Okay, so let's do some practice of this phrase, this sentence right here. Here we go. Sign with me. All right, one more time. Alright, this is a nice sweet short little sentence in this structure is very useful because once you learn other signs apart from car, you can just switch the words in this sentence. So you might say house, have, might say paper, have. Maybe you say pencil, have, right? Basically any object, anything in there you could even do a family have. Alright, you can use this sentence in this structure with whatever you're talking about is very useful. Alright, let's sign it one more time and then we'll move forward. Okay. Remember, eyebrows up, lean forward, inquisitive, look. You want to know.
16. Learn | Where did you go before?: In English we might say, where did you go before? In sign language would look like this. Ok, let's jump in and learn how to sign this. Here we go. Alright, you straightforward. We already learned it. Index finger, you, I'm talking to you so I point at you single motion, you alright, next, before it looks something like this. Alright? So think that you're trying to just kinda brushed the air past, past your body, right? We just indicating something is in the past, right. It's before, it's back there. Alright, so the handshape is kinda loose and you just go like this and you waft, waft the air past your head. Before, from the side, before, from the other side before. Right. If you're a lefty, I'm right handed, so I do it over here. If you're left aegis, go like that on the other side. Okay. So this was before? Before. Okay. Let's move to go. This is what it looks like. All right. Index fingers and we're just making the motion like you're going somewhere. Hence it's designed for go, go, right? So it's kinda like too little rockets, I guess in there shooting up and a point over there because you're going over there. Go, go right from the side. Go from the other side. Go. Alright, let's do it a couple of times. Here we go. Go. Go. Alright, the sign per Where do you remember? All right. Index finger nowadays? Shake it back and forth. That is where? Where? Alright, now it gets important, we need to make sure this is a question. And it's a WH question, right? Who, what, where, when we include how and why. So we're asking for more detailed information is not just an easy yes, no question, right? So yes, no questions. We raise our eyebrows. What do we do with WH questions? Well, we furrow our eyebrows, lower eyebrows. Right? So here once we get to the sign for where put down your eyebrows. Where where now you don't have to have a scowl on your face to the whole sentence. That would be an unnecessary use of energy. Just sign the first part of the sentence. And once you get to wear, then you can lower your eyebrows. Alright, so once again, alright, good. I'm already starting the practice. So let's do it. Let's sign with me and let's sign this sentence. Here we go. Again. Here we go. Alright, you before go, where? Right? Notice my eyebrows, my chin maybe goes up a little bit. I'm like having a gimme some information kinda look on my face. All right. Again, here we go. You before go. Where? Wherever you ban. Right? Again, your ego. You before go. Where? Ok, good, good, good. We just learned how to sign. Sounds good.
17. Learn | Do you live here?: In English, we might say, do you live here? In American Sign Language? The equivalent would be, alright, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. Alright, you right index finger, just point single time I'm talking with you. You live. This sine looks like this, right? The hand shapes are the same. We're going to use the letters a, like an alphabet, a, b, c. Okay? So we take the AES, we turn the palms in towards ourselves and put them down here kind of above the abdomen, midway down the chest. And we're going to go like this, live, kinda like it's growing. That's where we're growing up. Maybe live. Live from the side, Live from the other side. Live. Okay, alright, so live. The sign for here. We're gonna make these hand shapes, bring them down to this level and goal here. Alright, we're kinda doing some circles here that in opposite directions or not together. They're opposite, right? They're coming in, one's coming in and then they go out, in and out here. Alright, let's make sure we communicate that this is a question. Now let's take a quick look. You'd say, Do you live here? How would we answer yes, no or possibly? We'd say maybe, but it's a yes, no question. So what does that mean? When we sign it, we're going to raise our eyebrows, right? So when you're signing here, raise those eyebrows, tune up. Inquisitive look was up what's happening? Alright, okay, good, good, good. If we don't raise our eyebrows, Guess what happens? It's something like this. The question just became an affirmative statement. Alright, I'm stating that you live here, right? It's no longer a question. So this one, remember, looks like write the opposite. The question would be T the difference? Once again, question. Alright, good, good. Let's do some practice. Here we go. Sign with mean. Now it's interesting how much our face can communicate. Alright, I'm gonna do two separate facial expressions, same signs, but you try to tell me what do you think is the difference in what I'm communicating? Alright, so here's the first one. Alright, now here's the second one. Did you notice the difference? The first one, which is kind of an innocent question, all you live here, alright? But the second one, the eyebrows are still upright, but you see my face is kind of like really you live here. I can't believe you live here. So the face is very powerful because it shows so much emotion and what we want to communicate. So at the very base, this question is just right, you live here. You want to add in the oh my god, I can't believe you live in this neighborhood type of thing. Put it in your face either way, your eyebrows are going up. Alright? So we just learned how to sign. Alright, sounds good.
18. Learn | Do you enjoy traveling?: In English we say, Do you enjoy travelling? Well, in American Sign Language, the equivalent would be, alright, let's learn how to sign this. You ever go? You very common word, index finger, I'm talking with you. You. Ok, here is the sign for Enjoy. Right? Once again, write the hand shapes are the same like this. Close up your fingers thumb alongside. I'm right handed, so I'm gonna put my right hand, a flat hand, palm, face it in right about here. I'm going to take my non-dominant hand, my left hand, put it about here. Now I am going to make opposite circles. Right? So circles in the opposite direction. Top ones going like this, bottom lines going like this. Alright, so together, enjoy, right? They're not going in the same direction, not just rubbing your belly. They're going to opposite directions one time. Enjoy. From the side. Enjoy. Other side, enjoy. And I lightly touch my chest so I'm touching my body. I suppose you don't have to. You could just get close and go enjoy as long as it's clear what the motion is, what the sign is. Okay. Once again, enjoy. The sign for travel is like this. Okay. The handshape, make the letter v. Now pretend it's a rabbit in the bunny ears go down, right? That is the handshape. Maybe you could say like a claw. Alright, turn it like this so the palms facing down, pretend this is your vehicle, you're playing your aircraft, whatever, and you're going to take a trip and then you come back, right? Travel. Travel from the side. Travel. Other side travel. Right. Once again from the front. Travel. Maybe again travel. Right. You don't have to go sue perform. Maybe for communicating is a really long trip or whatever, but we can just kinda go normal travel. Alright, here we go. Moving forward, we need to make sure that we communicate. This is what a yes, no question. So an English, do you enjoy travelling? Yes. No. Maybe sorta, right? It's a yes, no question. So how do we communicate a yes-no question? Do you remember? Hint the eyebrows, put those eyebrows up, raise those eyebrows. That means you're communicating a yes or no question. And when you're raising eyebrows, lean forward a little bit, maybe lift up your chin, have a facial expression like this. You want to know? Okay, so you enjoy travel. The question looks like this. Alright? Once again, alright, so when you're signing travel, you're making the eyebrows up, leaning forward, which you want to know something. It's very important if you're trying to communicate the question that you do the eyebrows and the body forward because if you don't, if you just stayed down, it's a statement, a positive statement, it would look like this. So now I'm just sharing information that I believe you enjoy travelling. Alright, so to make it, the question is going to look like this. The statement once again. And the question, alright, let's keep going and let's do a little bit more practice. Sign with me. Here we go. Okay. You enjoy travel? Yeah. Okay. So we learned. All right. Sounds good.

Do it a couple of times with me. Here we go. Learn. Learn. Okay, good, good. The sign for sine is okay. And you notice in English we could say sign language. However, in sign language you just sign, sign in it's understood in this context that you mean Sign Language. There's no need to do a separate sign for language. Okay, so how do we do this sine? Well, it looks like this. We're going to use our index fingers and we're basically doing a backwards bicycle motion in front of us. I think that's a good way to explain it. Sign from the side, sign. From the other side sign. Alright, so we have one. When one's coming forward, the other one's kind of following behind. So they're not going like this. Now. It's going like this. Sine sine backwards bicycle motion. Perfect way to explain it. Sign. Okay, so let's practice of poles sentence we've learned all apart. Here we go. Sign with me. Here we go. I learn sign. So in English the equivalent is I'm learning sign language in ASL. You just sign. Okay, let's do it again. There we go. Alright, once more. Now this is a useful phrase, right? Because you could replace sine with other things. Alright? Like I'm learning to read or whatever. So it's a useful thing because we can learn many things. Learn, learn and learn. All right, let's do it one more time. Sounds pretty good. In English we learned, I'm learning sign language in ASL. It's alright.
20. Learn | Sign slowly, please.: In English we would say sign slowly please. In ASL the equivalent would be, all right, let's jump in and learn how to sign this. Okay, sign we're using our index finger's going to be backwards bicycle motion, right? Sign, sign from the sine, sine, from the other side. Sign. Remember they're not going in the same motion, they're not together. They're alternating. Sign, backwards bicycle motion, sign. Alright. Here is the sign, poor, slow. The hand shapes are going to be the same, right? Like this. Tighten up your fingers DMS alongside. Now I'm right handed, so with my non-dominant hand, my left hand, I'm going to put my hand here, this handshape palm facing down. Now with my right hand, I'm just going to use the tips and I'm going to slide up my arm just a little ways. Slow, slow. Right now how fast you do it and how far you go can depend on the situation. It uses regular slow, slow. It's like excruciatingly slow. Alright, notice I put it in a facial expression, added all in. If you dislike, you look like a robot, doesn't make sense to add the face, you're feeling it already. So express it with the face. Are taking forever. Or maybe it's just slow. But good. Resigned for please is like this. Right? I'm right-handed. Here is the handshape. Turn it towards your body palm facing in, started about here and do a circle. You might even do two. Alright, if it's quick, it's in the sentence you might assign, please. If you're begging in your play, please come on, please. Please write it from the side. Please. Other side, please. All right. Let's put it all together. Sign with me. Here we go. Sign slow. Please. Sign slow, please. Alright. Take a look from the side. This is what it is. Sign slow, please. Other sine. Sine, slow, please. All right. A little bit quicker. Right? You might want to add something in your face, especially if you feel a little bit awkward because he didn't understand what they've said. No. Like I you know, I don't want to ask them to repeat, but I need to know what they said because we're carbon a conversation. So put a kind face on your kind expression on your face, right? If you like. The likelihood of them windy continue communicating with you suddenly drops, right? So just have a nice neutral or who's kind expression on your face. Because you are communicating basically through kindness that you want to understand, right? And they understand that not everybody signs. So ask them nicely. Alright, this practice again. Here we go. Alright, the English equivalent is sine slowly, please, in ASL it is. Okay.
21. Learn | I’m sorry. I don't understand.: In English we could say, I'm sorry, I don't understand. The equivalent in American Sign Language is. Alright, let's learn how to sign this. Here we go. The first word is sorry, it looks like this. Right? We could sign i sorry. But it's kind of unnecessary design. I because if I'm going like this, it's kinda obvious that it's me. Who's, sorry. Sorry. So the hand shape is the letter a, right? How remake the fingers down, thumb along the side, just leave it like that palm facing in. Now make a circle. You, if you're really saw you need the overemphasize, keep going, keep being sorry for you or are just okay from the side, sorry, other side, sorry. Alright. Some people's signs saw using an S in the alphabet, sorry. In this course to be consistent, we're going to stick with the a. Sorry. Alright, sorry. Alright, good, good, good. Moving forward. Don't understand. Notice how it's up here. Understand is capital letters, that's a sign we're going to be using and don't over there is lowercase letters, but it's connected to understand. So let me show it to you in this is what it is. Alright. Don't understand. Alright. So we're not doing a separate sign per don't but we're communicating with our head that something's not right. Right. Okay. So the sign per understand is like this. Use your index finger and you're just making a flicking motion up palm facing towards you. Understand? Understand from the side, understand. Other sigh. Understand from the front again. Understand. Now in this situation we are trying to convey the message that we don't understand. So answer going like this, shake your head. Kind of a useful a universal signal for us now making sense. Understand. At the same time you can put a confused expression on your, on your face. Now contrast that with the robot expression where you have no expression at all. You'll be understood. It just looks a little strange because humans is partially deaf people. They use facial expressions like crazy because it is such an efficient way of communicating the situation, right? Okay. So don't understand don't understand. From this side. Other side. Okay, good, good. Let's do the whole sentence. Here we go. Alright, again, from the side, here's what it looks like. Other side. Alright, here we go a couple more times. Okay. So in English, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Even in English we put a facial expression. We're not like I'm sorry, I don't understand. We put in flexion in our voice. So think of inflection in spoken English, like facial expressions in sign language, they're essential for clear communication. Alright? So English, I'm sorry, I don't understand in American sign language. Alright.

Whether it's truck, whether it's paper, whatever it is, you can finger spell it, put it in there, and then go how sign. And the person that you're communicating with understands. You want to know how to sign whatever you just finger spell. And before I forget, in case you're wondering cat, What's the sign for cat? It's like this. Right? Just like you're pinching One of the whiskers or your tugging on it, you're pulling on it. Alright, cat. Alright, good, good. So in English you would say, how do you sign cat?

You can see a little bit easier that the hand shape is the number three, right? Three. We're gonna take the tip of the thumb around the tip of the nose and go down twice with the index finger and the middle finger. Right. So straight on, sign it bug. From the sine bug, other side bug. Bug. Okay. The sign for the word mean or the concept, the sign mean in American Sign Language, is this. Ok, I'm right-handed with my left hand, my non-dominant hand. I'm gonna make this handshape, tighten up the fingers, thumb alongside. Now I'm going to tilt forward and put it down here. Alright. With the flat of the hand, the bottom part facing out that way. Okay. With my right hand, I'm going to make the number two or we can say the V, that's fine. Okay, we're gonna take the tips and we're going to poke it into the bottom of the hand, the open part of the hand. And we're going to u1 now Twisted and poke again, right altogether. Mean? Mean. Mean, right. I mean, sometimes I see this hand when people sign it, it it moves a little bit, right? Other times it doesn't move at all. So I mean, from the side here, really see much there. Let's go to the other side. Mean mean from the front once again, mean. So you're going flat. Poke when you twist forward, poke again. Mean, OK, good, good. Now let's figure out how to do this. We're not gonna do a separate sign for what? That would be like this, but it's lowercase here, so we're going to make a high red wax.

So to sign this, we would go mean right here's a sign, mean, add in the facial, put it all together. Mean, mean. Alright, good, good. Question. Whole sentence Here we go. From the other side. Alright, let's do the end with me. Okay? Hopefully you appreciate how useful this sentence structure is. Because we can replace the word bug, in this case the sign for bug, right? So this situation, imagine you're signing and you saw someone make a sign that you don't understand, but you saw it, right? So you can probably reproduce it. So stick it in this sentence, right? So you can do a bug, could be whatever sign it is. In this situation, we would pretend that we didn't know what this meant and we saw and we're like, you know, what does that mean?

Now they might say it's rude to point. It makes people feel bad. Well, that might be true, especially if you're getting in their face and you're like, well, no one likes that, right? No matter what language you speak, no one likes that. But in American sign language, think of it more as referring to someone, right? We need to point at them to indicate, to show, to refer to them. That means communication. What are we just gonna go like this all day long? No. Use your index finger and point him. Him, Pete. Yeah. Here. Okay. Good, good. We need to communicate that it's a question. Now let me ask you, is it a WH question or a yes, no question? This will decide what we do with our eyebrows. What do you think? Trust him. How would you answer? Well, you have a couple options. Yes, no, maybe. So it's a yes-no question. So eyebrows go up, right? So many questions. Small question, trust him.

But more Earth-like, jerky movements, right? It's not like no. It's like adding the facial expression. No. Okay. He good news. He is the same sign as him. Index finger in point wherever he is. Hmm. So if a person's not here to still sign up to the side, he, he, alright, the sign for LEI looks like this. Here's my hand shape. I'm right handed, so I am closing on my fingers, tilting it down and now I'm just rubbing my chin just a little bit. Lie, lie. And since lie, you know, it's not really seen as a positive thing.

Alright, I've seen it with this hand shape and they put it more in front of the face. Lie. I've seen it with a finger, one finger, they go and lie. There are multiple ways in this course, we're going to keep this handshape and go like this lie lie to be consistent. Okay. So lie from the side, lie from the other side lie. Lie, you lie. Okay, so let's do it all together step-by-step. We actually have multiple sentences here. There is a small but let's do them. Okay. Trust him. Eyebrows up. No, he lie right altogether. Right. Once again, notice how the more like emotionally we are, the more kind of full of disdain maybe we are the more jerky movements become and our facial expression reflects what the situation is showing what's happening, right? So in this situation we're gonna pretend, you know, it's a little bit more serious. We're not just like now, we're now like wishy-washy. We're more direct and to the point we know this guy. Trust him. Now, he lie. If you really want to add extra, extra information, extra, you could do lie multiple times. Ly, you're just emphasizing that he is really a liar. Lie. Alright? So in this course we're just doing ones will go lie. But it gives you the option, if you really wanna lay it in there, a liar. Okay, so let's do it. Trust him, know he lie. Alright, so in English, Don't trust him. His line in American sign language. Okay.
