ASL | Pronouns + Vocab + Practice | American Sign Language

1. Course Introduction: Hello. My name is Michael. Okay. Thank you for studying with me in this course. Okay. We're going to study pronouns. I know you're thinking, Well, that's born, But listen, wait, okay? Because pronouns are really common, like, really common we're talking about. I me you He'd a you our arse stuff like that. Okay. It's just basic stuff we got to know because they're so common. All right, so we're going to learn the pronouns. I'm going to test you, and then we'll learn some new words. Okay? So once we have new words and we have the pronouns, we can put them together, and we can make some stuff that's a bit more practical. Some phrases, some short sentences. Okay, So are you ready to study and learn and learn and learn something new? Okay, let's do it. 2. Handshapes | Personal vs Possessive Pronouns: All right. Hello. Let's get started. Ok, so we're going to talk about personal pronouns and possessive pronouns. And you're like, What? Grammar are right? Well, it is grammar, but is very practical grammar. This is stuff you need to know to be communicating. Okay. All right. So first, let's you know what the heck are personal pronouns? I'm so glad you asked. Well, personal pronouns I me, you he she it we us they them and you Plural. Okay, not rocket science here. Moving forward, possessive pronouns my mind, your his her its our there and your plural. OK, so we're going to learn how to sign these pronouns in SL in American sign language. Okay, so one thing is very important. Your hand shapes and it's a wonderful thing, actually, with SL when we're talking about personal pronouns, we're going to use the same hand shape. Now we're gonna move our hand round, but our hand shape will be the same and the same thing with possessive pronouns. So let's see, what are the hand shapes? Well, with personal pronouns were going to use the number one. This is how you say one inside language one we could just say, you know, it's the pointer finger. It's the index finger. So how do we make it? Well, here's open hand, but these fingers down and put your thumb in Well, our suddenly you have a number one right from the side. Open hand fingers down some in you have a pointer finger. All right, So this is your weapon When you're going to be doing personal pronouns will go down the list in a in a bit. But remember, personal pronouns used the index finger the number one sign in sign language. Okay, once again, it is okay. So four possessive pronouns were going to use an open B m. What is an open be? Well, this is how I signed. Be all right. This is how I learned it. I've been doing it this way. Other people, many people signed be like this. All right. Did you see the difference of the thumb is here, and the thumb is out here. Oh, here, In here. So when the thumb is on the outside, it's called an open. Be all right. So we haven't opened. Be So how do you make an open be Ah ha. Open hand just close up right open hand. Just close it up and that is an open. Be all right from the side. Have open hand. We're gonna prepare the sign. What was it up? That's it. That is an open be. I don't know. If you want to think like karate, you're gonna slap something. It's basically just a flat hand and things were tightened up. OK, so for personal pronouns, once again, we're going to use the pointer finger the number one in sign language for possessive pronouns. We're going to use the open be open. Be mice will show you both hands pointer finger personal pronouns was absent Pronouns open . Be alright. Something very important. Okay, this is the same thing. When you're signing, use your dominant hand, right? So what is the dominant hand? It's the hand that you feel most comfortable with, right? So I'm a right handed person. I write. I do most things with my right hand, but you might be left. You might write with your left hand, do most things with your left hand. So if you want to do personal pronouns with your left hand, that's fine. Here we go. There's the pointer finger. If you want to do possessive pronouns with your left hand open, be there it is. All right. So once again, we have open be or possessive pronouns, right? And we have pointer fingers for personal pronouns. All right, I think it's time to move forward. 3. Learn | I/ME vs MY/MINE: Okay, First pronouns alright for personal pronouns I and me remember we used the finger, the pointer and we just go Me, right? I me We just point out ourselves. Very simple. I Who Who may Who me? Right. Okay. From the side. Just you can tap You can just point your choice But the whole idea is to indicate the direction Me, right? Okay, so possessive pronouns Remember the hand the open Be right. Be there it is. All right. So my, my all right from the side My Why? Or mine? Right? So who's is it? It's mine. It's mine! It's mine. Ok, so a quick review me this point at yourself, Me or my me? You my open hand. Was this you pointer? Personal. All right, so let's see what it might look like in action, right? Let's see if I can find it here. You might just be like, Oh, I'm happy. I'm happy. I me, I'm I'm I'm happy off. It's so nice. Nice to be here. Uh, I'm happy. All right. So I i me me. Okay. So let's see the other one. My house. Mm. My, my house. My house. All right, So my Me. Right. Quick review Personal pronoun the finger Me, me possessive pronouns. Where is it? There it is. Mine! Mine! Great. 4. Learn | YOU vs YOUR: All right, let's talk about you. End your okay. So personal Pronounced the finger this point, right? Just point at who you're talking to because you're directed towards them. So you a point to them, right? So your open hand with the B, right? Possessive pronouns with the open hand to be you're So if I'm talking to you, I'm looking at you. I'm making eye contact with you. And I say you or maybe I say you're depending on the situation, right? So it's very important to point your body to whoever you're talking to Write as much as possible sometimes were seated. But, you know, you try to make the the movement to going to whoever you're talking to. So if I'm talking to Fred, he's over here. I move my body in his position and I say you right, because I'm talking to him. My eyes were looking at him, and I point you, you right? Or I say, you're your your your from this side. Let's say I'm look talking to Fred or George or Henry or Sally. And I'm like you, right? You So I was looking at them, and I point at them right you, right? If I say you're then I say you're right. I'm looking at them. Your you're so I have the open be and I'm pushing it out. You're You don't have to go away, right? There's no need for that. Just your your all right or yours. Uh, and you no need to go. Did it? Did it? Did it could if you really want to overemphasize you, Right. But we could just go you depending on the situation. All right, let's see it in action. All right, we have the lady. I might be talking with her, and I would say, Oh, your purse, your your purse. Like you know. Where is it? Where is your purse? In your purse. Uh, so if I'm talking to you, I would say your purse, your purse? Uh, okay. Or we want to do the personal when I say you sad your said or are you sad? You said I'm talking to you. You said right. So you I just point at you You're sad or friends over there. You're sad. OK, so a quick review. Oh, another situation. Let's say her twin sister pops up behind me, right? And I can talk to her directly. Right? You're your purse. Use your sad Okay. I think you get the point. So just a quick review. You eye contact point in your body towards someone you use the pointer finger. You all right? So they might say it's rude to point. What if you don't point in sign language, you can't communicate, so you point right. You don't get right up in their face. You you, you know, just kind of relaxed. You write or your you're you. You're all right. 5. Learn | HE/SHE/IT vs HIS/HER/ITS: All right, let's talk about he, she it and his hurt. It's all right. So something very useful about American sign language is that it's gender neutral, right? So in some languages you have the masculine form, the feminine form, and it all changes depending on the person right. But in sign language, the situation makes it apparent. It's obvious. Okay, so if I'm talking to you and I want to use he she or it, I use the finger, right? So personal pronouns. Let's make it. It's just the index finger were pointing right were pointing, so he may be friends over there, but I'm talking to you. He he's the one. He stole my money. He right? Or maybe Ah, it's a female. She it's Sally and she's over there. She did it. He is the one. She she So I'm focused on you. But I'm indicating the direction off the person because then it becomes clear that I'm referring to that person, that person or that thing, right? He she it right, So we just point Okay, so when we're doing possession, it's his. It's hers. Her dog. It's whatever. It's the same thing. We indicate the direction, but we use the open. Be no hiss, her or hers. It's right wherever the person is. We just put it in that direction. All right, let's see it in action. All right, that's Fred. He's mad. He's mad. Even if you straight behind you, right, you could be like he He's mad. I don't know why he's mad. Okay, so I'm pointing at him, right? He If it was a female sitting down there, she she If it was the dog sitting down there, it's It's right, Just point. All right? So we have a lady. Let's say this is Brenda, right? So where is she? She's over there, I could say her shoes or her shoes. Right? Which one's which? Which shoes? Her shoes, her shoes. So she's behind me. But I'm trying to point in her direction, right? Right. If you're Lefty, if lefties your dominant hand her her right. Even if you're right and it's uncomfortable to twist around, you could just go her switch over to your less your and that's not dominant. That's fine. The whole point is that we need to refer to someone, right. Okay, so let's see if it's an object, right? So it's or it it. Wow, it's wonderful or it's beautiful. Oh wow. I love it. It's it it it. Or maybe like possession. It's oil maybe, or its seat. Right? So all right, quick review or he she it is the finger and just point at it, right? Once again, they say it's rude the point. But in American sign language, if you don't point, I don't know. Would you just like, not in their direction use the finger point? Alright. For possession, Something belongs to them, right? His first it's is hers. It's if they're up on the catwalk, you can still do Hiss he Okay, wonderful. 6.
