- This video shows how to sign basic American Sign Language (ASL) signs for beginners to learn to communicate with Deaf people more easily. This video is the second part to the original 25 Basic ASL Signs for Beginners video posted (linked here if you haven't watched yet :) ** • 25 Basic ASL Signs For... ** ). Click more to read more.
Hi!! :) I know this video is a little too fast for some of you and I’m so sorry about that!! Will try to slow down in the next lesson video!! ;-) If you use Instagram on a daily basis, you should come join us on Instagram!! :) I teach a sign or two almost everyday!! @SignedWithHeart
I will film a new video soon showing 25 more signs (making it 75 basic ASL signs) so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a video!! :)
** Quick 411 **
There are a few different American Sign Language (ASL) variations for “what”, “who”, and “why”. I only showed one of each. I will show other variations later. Also, I will film a video soon explaining more about the whole eyebrows thing. Basically, you lower your eyebrows when asking a WH-question (including HOW) and then you raise your eyebrows when asking a “Do you…” question (questions that you’re expecting either a yes or no response). Also, the sign for “learn”, if you sign it just once then it means “learn” (I want to learn sign language) but if you want to say you are currently learning, emphasis on the “ing”, then signing “learn” twice will show that you’re currently learning. Hope this quick 411 helps!! :)
If you have any questions about the signs shown in the video or related to sign language in general, feel free to comment below in the comment section. :)

@@bradgoins8863 update please! These stories are just so sweet.
i don't really know how anyone can "dislike" this video. SMH
The dislikes are prob from hearing people who are salty they can't grasp the material
Maybe this video doesnt match their expectation. I find this video very helping. Thank you i learn something new today.
they actually taught something wrong. my sister is hard of hearing and she told me i didnt do it right :)
@@torinoel-baez4074 what sign was it?

Yesssss
I'm thirteen, and I'm not hard of hearing but I am learning sighn laungauge because I think it's really useful and good to know. This video helped me a lot and im going to start taking classes at my local college, I'm so excited!
Same dude
Bro I wanna kno how it's going if I could.Thank u :)
So excited to present all these signs to my crush at work, who is deaf, and who is so full of smiles and cheer every time she sees me.
There's just that one SMALL barrier between us called sign language :)
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate that there is no sound to the video too, it makes you understand more of the deaf and hearing impaired world. Please keep making more videos! You are a great teacher ❤️

I feel like i'm learning to lip read while I do this :)
As someone that's trying to learn basic ASL for a friend, this helps greatly! I'm trying to save for classes but this is a good insight! Thank you :)
KarKarIsAStars there's a site called startasl look it up on google. it's the BEST thing since sliced bread depending on which package you choose for your course depends on how much it costs. there are hundreds of sign videos and resources to use with a full curriculum. I'm loving the class, there's no deadlines so you can go at your own pace. it's not to take for a degree but if you are learning to be fluent for a friend or family member it's fabulous

I'm learning ASL too, you should watch Bill Vicars on CZcams!
im almost thirteen and i really want to learn sign language because you never know who you run into, and if we have a new student at school who is deaf I can help them. my mom knows asl, and I want to follow in her footsteps and these videos help so much! thank you! :))
I'm so scared I'm going to start learning ASL and just by using the wrong finger because I forgot, I might end up signing a completely different sentence and confuse people XD
Same!!!
yeah im scared of that to and like im trying to learn Spanish but i probably wont ever speak to a native speaker because i'm just to scared
@@foxonfire9131 trust me we are usually very understanding to people who are learning spanish and may even help you!
Yeah
I’m afraid I’ll try and say something like ‘hi’ and somehow end up saying something offensive
@@victoriasanchez8660 hello beautiful 😘 you love
I took asl classes in high school before I was diagnosed with ptsd that causes me to go nonverbal, signing and relearning basic signs has made it handy for my loved ones to communicate when I'm struggling
I am currently learning ASL because my youngest brother is having trouble talking (he has autism) and so I am trying to get him to sign so I can understand what he wants/ if he needs something. :) Your video helps out a lot, thank you!
What a great idea!!!!
my younger brother suffers from autism too, but im trying to learn so i can help more in special ed classes and hopefully be a teacher
That is amazing!! I’m learning sign because im autistic and sometimes struggle with words or am nonverbal. My neurotypical brother is learning with me and my mom is working on it too
thank you so much...my nephew was born with hydrocephalus and hes 18 months old and he may not be able to ever talk or hear so.were learning sign together. ..he can say "more" now when he wants more food.
Lol that is the most important word for all kids 😂
My mom: What in the world are you doing? Me: -signing to be quiet at her- My mom: Why is there a candle lit by your bed. Me: TRUST THE PROCESS! I'M LEARNING
I want to learn sign language although I don't know anyone who's deaf but I'm going to be a nurse soon so I want to communicate to everyone and not a lot of people working on hospital like nurses, doctors etc. Who should know how to sign. 1 or even none knows about signing, I've saw one incident when there's a deaf little girl and she couldn't understand anyone because no one in that clinic knows how to communicate with her and at that point I wanted to learn ASL.
i wanna learn for 2 reasons one just to know and 2 when i turn 17 i wanna apply to work as a salesperson at victoria's secret but you have to be 18 so i wanna make them be lke oh she know's sign that's good for the customers who are deaf let's hire her sounds silly but might work
You have a great idea as well as our new salesperson! I work for TSA. many hearing impaired people fly. you've inspired me to want to improve my customer service skills to help them get to their flight faster. THANKS for the compassionate idea!!
@@zena6565 Just so you know, companies often don't hire people who are under 18 because the labor laws for minors are stricter and more complicated than they are for people who are of age. And for a big chain like Victoria's Secret, individual stores aren't in a position to make exceptions to those policies - they won't have the right paperwork available in order to hire you and make sure your tax stuff is set up correctly. It's not that they think 17-year-olds don't have the maturity or the right skills - they legally can't hire them.
That said, knowing more than one language, including ASL, is definitely valuable and will look good on your application. And if they think you're a good fit they might keep you in mind to hire on once you're 18.
(If this is a reference to something I'm not getting, ignore me lmao I'm old)
@@sleatersan I agree
when i was little i knew sign language because i was in deaf hard of hearing class and now i am lost and you're teaching me. thank you
When I'm older I want to be a sign language interpreter this has helped me out a lot. Thank you
I’m a deaf person living in the UK, I grew up learning British Sign Language (BSL). I have a road trip in America this autumn, hence I’m here learning ASL! You never know who you’ll meet 😊 P.S: there are some similarities in signing but the words are different! It’s confusing for me, but I’ll get there!
*when you turn up the volume expecting to hear something*
*Then realizing it's supposed to be silent*
wait i did that lol
HeNLo bIRb 101 I did it too 😅
SAME IM 😡
She really is deaf so we wouldn't be able hear much anyway this is for people who are deaf to learn as well
@@crystalclarke6692 Really ????
I watch this anime titled . A silent voice . That's why I want to learn sign language.
We live in same world. But we live a different life.
I put my headset on .. and I wonder why no voices 😂 then just realize what I'm watching 😂 it help a lot ❤ and it's easy to learn . The bad thing is different country different sign language ..
I love your video ❤
Me too :D
Im here because the anime Silent Voice too
me too :)
Same, I saw that movie and thought it would be cool to learn.
THATS WHY IM HERE. ITS 4:38 AND OVE CONVINCED MYSELF THAT I NEED TO LEARN SIGN LANGUAGE
You are a good teacher I really really hope you make more my sister is deaf my nephew also and I am trying to learn I watch a lot of CZcams and these are probably the best videos I found please make more :)
:)
These videos are AMAZING! My cousin and I are trying to learn ASL together over FaceTime and these videos have really helped us with the basics. I can't wait for more! Thank you for making these!!!
There is 2 reasons I wanna learn 1. I wanna be able to talk to deaf ppl like you 2. I wanna be able to say stuff without my family and friends knowing LOL 😄😄
EDIT: this girl should win an award bc she is a hero! She really is she's like a teacher but better than one I bet she has taught a teacher sign language! She's just that good I would love to have her as my sign language teacher! I wonder how old she's was when she learned sign language? Well how ever old she was she has masterd it!! Plz keep making videos! You're super good at this also do you know anyone who's also deaf?
EDIT: I hope you never stop making videos you are soooooo gooood at signing but have you ever thought of getting hearing aids? You could still do sign language if you don't like to talk, but the hearing aids could help too I'm just saying.
Holy crap that intro, you look like a pro spell caster. I’m so gonna learn this ASL
I work at a front counter serving the public, and there have been multiple times over the last year that knowing basic ASL has helped me make a deaf citizen feel much more welcomed. Thanks for helping me learn more and freshen up the things I learned years ago! Everyone should learn ASL.
We have a new kid at my school who's deaf. He's very nice. Everyone treats him like an outsider and avoid him. Even though he has an interpreter, my friend and I are learning sign language so he doesn't feel excluded. Yesterday, my friend and I greeted him in sign language. I told him I wanted to learn. I'm thankful videos like this are easily accessible so others like my friend and I can learn easily and quickly, so the new kid can fit in and feel comfortable. Thank you!
I've been wanting to learn sign for the longest time and here recently I have made a friend that is deaf and he made me wanna learn more and this video REALLY helped me thank you so much!!
Thank you for making these videos and posting them for free!! You are really making a difference! I have wanted to learn how to sign my whole life, and have finally decided to do it now. I wouldn't be able to if it weren't for people like you. May God bless you richly!
You’re so sweet!! Thank you for your comment!!
Ashley Clark Fry 👍😊
I live in an apartment complex with a lot of deaf and hard hearing people that I run into at the pool, I can finally make conversation with them. Thank you so much for all your videos. You are really awesome
My job rn is to check people in and literally just sit here until they are done with what they need to do. So here I am trying to learn and I think I’m doing an good job. Thank you so much for these videos cause I do deal with the deaf community from time to time and always feel so bad that I don’t know any. Thank you thank you thank you
Everyone is asleep... This is a perfect thing to watch without having to worry about volume. :D
Furthest Traveler same here!!😂
you can watch anything without volume thanks to subtitles
I am so glad to see your vlog! I love when you just naturally use whole sentences because I am trying to get used to ASL sentence structure. Thank you for the video!
I like the way you use sentences. I learned ASL for my co-workers. That was 45 years ago. When I left that workplace in 78 they all said I would forget ASL. Then I moved to England 28 years ago and have not used it in that time. I am amazed at how much I have retained. My wife now wants to learn ASL so I am teaching her.
When my sister saw me practicing ASL those many years ago, she became an interpreter
Thanks for the lessons they really help.
I work at a bank and we have a deaf customer who has started coming regularly and I’d like to be able to communicate in a way that is more accessible to her. Thank you for these videos!💙
I love sign language its a beautiful thing to watch and learn! This is very helpful because my neighbor is deaf and only does sign. So, i am very excited to learn!! :)
thx so much i I have a step sister who is deaf and I'm trying to learn...🙃
This is one of the better videos imo. It's slowed down, and repeated. There's no one going off topic talking about other things, or simply speeding through video. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this
Hi,im a mother of three and single parent now,my youngest daughter is a deaf and we cant understand her often,one special good friend pushing me to teach my two daughters and me as well to learn sign language to understand my little jacky.after we watched this video,i noticed them that they enjoyed learning from it. I realized big time that we need to learn too for my baby jacky.thank you for this video and its really apprecieted.more power and God bless you👍
I absolutely love this channel I have been fascinated in asl ever since I watched switched at birth and every app or channel I watched wasn't that helpful until I found this one. I love learning to sign. Also because I have a deaf friend that I met 2 days ago and I really want to be able to communicate with her better.
I am hard of hearing n have a level 2 in signing but I love to go over and relearn on your videos it helps as i am not around others who sign so is easy to relax n forget Thank You
I'm trying to learn sign language so I can communicate with customers and these are awesome! -a grateful trader joes employee
I'm not deaf and i don't know anybody that is but i feel it is important to know sign language because you never know who u might run into so here i am trying to learn sign your videos are really helping me so thank u!! :D
i just want to say your mouthing of words is pretty good!! i kept wanting to turn up the volume on my phone a number of times, to hear you better lol
Thanks for the video
your facial expression and warm smile speaks louder than the best speakers out there!
keep at it!
Hi Ashley. I want to thank you for your videos. I just started taking an ASL class and I need a lot of practice, so my friend suggested that i check CZcams, and I found you!
I recently got hearing problems from a car crash and this really helped me so Thank you I appreciate it
I'm a selective mute, and love when I see these videos because they aren't aimed specifically towards certain people, my friends are learning sign so we can talk without a notebook and it's awesome
Yay! I love learning from you here and on Instagram. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us. :)
YAY!! :D So happy to hear that!! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!!
Michelle Hello beautiful 😘 you
You make it seem so easy, a great video it's, keep up the good work. Much Love.
This video taught me how to sign. I have not tried with anyone yet but I am exited when I get the opportunity to try. This women is a great teacher when it comes to sign language.
I work as a receptionist at a clinic, and the other day a deaf lady walked in trying to set up an appointment. I was upset I couldn't communicate, so I decided to learn some basic signs before she comes back that way I can at least say hey, have a good day, or how are you feeling. I am glad I found your videos they are very helpful
I’m becoming hard-of-hearing so I’m trying to learn ASL before I go to my Hearing appt on Monday and I wanna be able to talk to the staff a little since most are HoH or deaf
I hope your appointment went well!
None of my friends know sign language so I thought it’d be helpful to learn just in case we run into anyone who can’t hear again. I felt so bad last time I went to a convention and I couldn’t communicate with someone whatsoever. At least I’ll be able to say hi and introduce myself.
I work in a grocery store and occasionally an older deaf man will come shopping. I knew a little bit of ASL from back in middle school and was able to just barely communicate with him (and he seemed very happy for my attempt, even if it was just basic signs like asking "are you deaf") so I figured I'd use this opportunity to brush up on my ASL and fully learn it this time around. Thank you so much for these videos!
This is truly amazing. I’m a C.O.D.A. Youngest of three but the other two weren’t around like that but I learn sign language by my watching my parents and when I got older I wasn’t home much so now I do a lot of home signs and I want to change that. Have a real conversation with my parents. What your doing is amazing 🙌🏼🖐🏼🤚🏼.🤟🏻
yay, I was so excited when I saw the update
Yay!! :D Your comment made me even more excited to film more CZcams videos!! Thanks for commenting!!
I'm learning this language for my love who can't speak and hear
I’m not deaf nor do I know anyone deaf/mute, but I’ve always found it fascinating how sign language works and how you learn this whole other language to communicate with. So I finally decided I wanted to learn more (I know basic sign language but forgot a lot of it), just in case I ever do run into someone who might be deaf or mute.
Ashley, I am so grateful for you! I moved to a state with a beautiful deaf community and as a hairstylist your videos have been really helpful to talk to my clients and give them proper consultations!
I have a lot to learn, but now I can tell them I am learning to sign, I know a little and I am slow at signing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
By watching this i learned how to say
Hello my name is laylaa
Im learning sign language
Please finger spell
In asl...its quit easy
Do you know numbers and alphabet yet so easy once you get the hangoglf it
i've recently been watching switched at birth and sometimes they don't put what they're signing and they said something about taking time to learn to sign for deaf people so yeah lol
IO]O
SlmplyxNessa OMG I love switched at birth! Do you like Daphne or Bay better?
@@heyitsella5704 Bae
im learning sign because my brother cant speak and he is 8 years old so now im going to learn sign for him so i can communicate with him easier thank you for making this video!
I really enjoyed this video. My son is deaf and im learning everyday with him. Bein new to the deaf community has brought us closer.
Sign language is so fascinating to me, I love the show "switched at birth" which has sign language in it. And I want to learn some, kinda as my second language. :)
I hear that! I started learning when I was eight, and I remember being simply captivated, fascinated by all the different movements I saw. The only thing that stuck in my brain was the alphabet, but since I never used it, I forgot a few letters over the years, happy to see a poster here and there every so often, that showed me what I was forgetting.
Space Hello beautiful 😘 you
@@katrinamarvin279 Hello beautiful 😘 you Love
please make more
honestly super helpful thank you
I don't know anyone that is deaf. But learning something new is fantastic, I've been learning at my own pace ya never too old to learn
I'm 61, just retired, not deaf, but have always been intrigued with ASL. Thanks to you and your videos, I've decided to enroll in ASL classes at a local community college which starts tomorrow with the goal of getting my Certificate in one year. Thank you!
yes!!!! you are awesome! please moreeee
YAY!! :D Thanks!! So glad you liked this video!! More coming soon!! I'm on Instagram too :) I post almost everyday- @SignedWithHeart And you're awesome too!! :D
When you try to turn the volume all the way up to try and listen. 😂
im a school bus driver with a deaf student.. im using your videos to learn how to talk with him.
Im so excited. thank you
Your the sweetest person ever
OMG thank you SO much for these videos! I work at a gas station and get regular customers who are deaf and no one else in staff can communicate with them. They have shown me a few sentences, like "have a nice day/night" and "merry christmas" but now with the help of your videos I can "talk" to them better!! THANK YOU!
hi ashley. thanks for your videos. it's really helps me to understand. by the way im a filipino but we have almost same sign language. sorry for my english. :)
Your English is fine. Don't worry about it. :)
same, hello po! :D
I wanted to learn sign ASL because my family just found out one of my brothers are deaf. They say earring aids might help but we will need to learn ASL. It's 2:03Am here and I really want to get better at it for him so I can talk to my brother.
That’s so sweet of you! I hope your brother is doing well.
I learned some sign language about over a year ago and I’m re learning now, it’s so fun and great to know
i’m here after watching Netflix’s Dark and watching Elizabeth Doppler talk with hand-sign language, and then i suddenly remembered about my deaf friend that already died a long time ago, she has no friend to talk with because we as a kid can’t understand hand-sign language. and then 3 years later, i came here to learn about sign language so maybe, if i have a deaf friend again, i can understand their language and they will understand me too, so we can play together and be friends :)
thx for helping me a lot :))
I can't wait to confuse my friends with his! XD
i do that.... XD and during golf matches we cant talk to our parents so i was signing to my dad.... he was confused XD
I’m not allowed to talk at lunch in school so I just sign to my friend because we both know sign language
@@janeduffy4373 What you can't talk at lunch that's cruel
Wow 😀 awesome.. acctually I'm Not a Deaf But I wan't to learn Sign Language co'z i'm tired to speak .. hahahhaa but it's okay.. anyone want's to know it just like me..
Hahahahaha same here! I speak better with my hands anyway. Whether it be through writing or through ASL, I just find it easier to speak through my hands. I can speak aloud, I'm not deaf, but it's very frustrating, having to speak up, for both my parents and other family members, or repeat myself for others.
these videos are so incredible! I work in a pharmacy and have around 8 patients who are deaf. I've purchased books and am trying to teach myself ASL so that I can better help them. plus I thought it might bring a smile to their faces if one-day they walk in and don't have to write everything down to communicate. It's difficult to cover all of their needs and make sure they are getting the best care when we can't fully communicate.
you are a wonderful teacher and I can't express enough how much I really appreciate your instruction!
I'm so glad you are here to show proper ASL!!! I think being deaf and teaching it to us is such a blessing. I've learned quite a bit in these past few weeks. Mostly, from you. YOU DO A GREAT JOB!
I lost my voice recently so I think I might need to communicate a little bit in basic sign for a few days so this is really helpful!
For "no problem" wouldn't you sign "none problem" instead of the literal "no" and "problem"? The way you signed it seems more like English grammar rather than ASL
That's another way you can sign "no problem" ("none problem") but honestly, I personally think that is still English. American Sign Language is not completely free from English. "How you?" is still English even if "are" is dropped. "How are you?", "Have a good day", "No problem" - from my point of view (as a born-Deaf bilingual), these phrases are English- or what English speaking people would say. We live in a hearing world- so it's natural that some of us incorporate “hearing” (English) into our signing. By the way, signing “fine” and “it was nothing” (two F handshapes) are a couple of different ASL ways you could sign in response to “thank you” instead of “no problem”. Hope this helps!! :)
Oh I didn't know that! Thanks for clearing that up!!
so, what you're saying is that words like connectors, the ones you write in parenthesis are implied when signing? you don't really have to sig them?
Alejandra Plata No, you dont. From what I understand, at least.
Coming to say oh my God
Hi! I'm half deaf (deaf in one ear), always wanted to learn sign language, but have never found the right place to. I'm a teenager towards the younger to middle side, so I can't really afford classes and I'm trying to keep it on the down-low. I have a friend who signs and I may ask him about it but for right now I just use videos and these are the most helpful I've come across and have learned the signs quickly and easily. Thank you so much, your hard work and dedication to this channel is very much appreciated.
We have a deaf student in my grade level so were learning sign, and i feel the teachers wont teach us well, so this has already helped me understand the basic signs.
your great
Aw!! You're so sweet!! Thanks!
are you born deaf or a hard hearing or just learned it :L im learning from watching switched at birth and im going to work and translate with the deaf people
Cat2289 AJ I believe she has said that she was born deaf.
Hi! Love the videos so far, I am learning so much, thank you! Got a quick question though. Why are you signing "where are you from?" as "You from where?". Does it matter in which order you start off your sentence? In other words can you sign it as you actually say it out loud? So it would be "where are you from?" So where finger waving, then point to you, and then from sign.
Thank you for your help!
Tyler Deatherage I was confused about that too
@Tyler Deatherage
@Ashley Stacy
I know this was five months ago, but I would still like to reply! Like any other language, ASL has its own grammar structure! You basically sign the most important words first, and the rest of them follow. It's like french! If you were going to say, "the blue shirt," you would actually say, "the shirt blue" (in french). I still don't completely understand ASL either, but that's why I'm here! I hope this makes sense!
SerpentStrike Thanks for the explanation!! That makes a lot more sense now
I love how you go over each sign a couple times and slow it down. It really helps! As a hearing person, is like to know sign to help those around me
I’m going to watch a bunch of your videos just to get them recomended for a reminder that I should learn another means of communication.
Switched at birth brought me here.
Same
I love these videos.... but I can't learn without words being said =( it stinks. it just isnt sinking in like the ones im also watching that have audio
If you can speak, try repeating the signs aloud as you repeat after her.
I was friends with this girl from school and we were in a few of the same classes from 8-9th grade. she was deaf and her asl teacher really liked me because I would always try to help the girl. it’s been almost 2 years and they’ve both inspired me to start learning asl seriously now.
I started learning again about 2 months ago after helping some customers who were deaf. I haven't missed a single day of learning asl since then. I'm so proud that I kept going. Asl is amazing
We recently hired a deaf kid at work and I’m trying to learn at least a little bit of sign language for him 😊 thank you for posting educational videos
weren't you no supernatural?
That was Shoshannah Stern who played Eileen :)
im learning sign bc i find its cool how deaf people understand it so well, and i always carry around pen n paper uncase i forget something and i run into a deaf person
I want to learn sign language to help anyone who starts at my school that could be deaf or hard-of-hearing. I am currently writing all the signs down so I can teach my friends how to sign for anyone. Thank you so much for teaching this and helping me possibly help someone else!
I saw 2 people talking with sign in the bus and I instantly fell in love with it, completed my abc's learning sentences now.
