    Hello. I am a store owner and I sometimes encounter deaf customers and wanted to ask if you have a video for basic grocery/customer service asl. I know the basics like Thank you but I wanted to learn more so that they will be more comfortable :)

  • @galetagudar2964
    @galetagudar2964 Před 2 lety +21

    Great video! I stretch out my E, so people don't confuse it with A or S. The part about not wiping away nor pushing away mistakes is useful and funny at the same time.

  • @lilrandom_gamer4490

    Thank you! This has helped me A LOT I get confused with finger spelling sometimes, and I do read the letters and not the word most of the time 😓

    • @LearnHowtoSign

      So glad this was helpful. You've got this!

    • @chrisbaier6252

      Same here. I am new and I would read the letters and then have to remember them and put them together in my mind after to figure out the word. 😂

    Thank you for putting
    this is in my feed,
    but my fingers are
    seriously messed up
    from a rare disease.
    I'm blessed to be alive
    to finish my mission.
    I can certainly learn
    to understand ASL, though.

  • @johnrojas9980
    @johnrojas9980 Před 2 lety +8

    That’s a very great video you made. I agree with you that it will help your signers to practice with their fingerspelling. It will help the signers to fingerspelling a little bit more faster when they are having a conversation with the deaf people. Nice work Meredith! 😊😊

    Hello! Really enjoying videos. I'm just getting started. For a future video, could you do signs that commonly get confused with one another for new learners?

  • @minecraftgamer1169
    @minecraftgamer1169 Před 2 lety +5

    Thank you for this video. I always read the letters and not the word when I finger spell. So I will practice reading the word instead now.

    • @LearnHowtoSign
      @LearnHowtoSign  Před 2 lety +4

      It makes all the difference. It's a next level familiarity with all of the letters to get there. It will eventually come natural. Keep practicing!

    How do you fingerspell things when your fingers won't cooperate? For instance: My fingers can't form certain things like the number 3; I have to use the Water sign?

    • @YT-User1013
      @YT-User1013 Před 11 měsíci

      Great question. I have trouble with W and having my pinky and index finger touch. I just do it the best I can, whatever! I just consider it like sloppy hand writing!

    If I may make a suggestion, I can't afford Skillshare. I really love your content and the tips and tricks you give us to remember the signs just help me that much more. I thank you so much for your videos. With that being said, however, I'm on a fixed income, and every penny counts. I was wondering if it was possible that every once in a while, you do one of these classes on the channel?

  • @donanderson6392
    @donanderson6392 Před 2 lety +2

    It's not the signing I'm worried about; it's the spelling. Never been one of my strengths.

    • @RavynUnderscoreArtYT
      @RavynUnderscoreArtYT Před rokem

      Same I have a huge problem with spelling without writing it down. I have to see how I spell the word on paper or something. Not only that, but I also kinda suck at spelling at the same time. 😅

  • @NotABushFan1
    @NotABushFan1 Před rokem

    I see the first issue, spelling, was my worst subject and I rely 100% on spell check even here. This might be a real issue for me., but I will move forward with learning ASL.

  • @raymondlin8728
    @raymondlin8728 Před 2 lety +1

    I practice fingerspelling a thru z everyday. Just to remind myself of all letters in the alphabet bc there are some letters you use more than others

    Do people use finger spelling to have full conversations instead of asl? Or is it meant to be a sub category of asl?

    How do you sign the @ symbol?

    • @SaikiKFann
      @SaikiKFann Před 2 lety +1

      @ basically means At why would you need to finger spell that

      You move an A handshape in a circle (for an email address, etc.) 😀

  • @geminijournaling3507
    @geminijournaling3507 Před rokem

    does it matter which hand you use for spelling? I am naturally left handed but I dont want to learn it all on one hand just to find out it looks flipped to everyone else!

  • @focus_on_me
    @focus_on_me Před 2 lety

    Are there times where there is a actual word but when it's signed it's technically ASL 'slang'

  • @ciaranailz978
    @ciaranailz978 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Also everybody that know how to sign don't sign the same like accents everybody don't pronounce words the same

  • @karrteam
    @karrteam Před rokem +1

    I don’t understand how to “read the whole word” instead of the letters. You keep saying that, but I don’t know how to do that.

    • @YT-User1013
      @YT-User1013 Před 11 měsíci

      Agreed, but it's like when you are reading anything, you don't read letter by letter, you read whole words, but it IS more difficult in ASL because you have to remember what is being spelled rather than when you are reading you can see the entire word all at once AND because people in ASL think that they have to go a mile a minute for some special reason.
      Practice, practice, practice.

    As a culturally Deaf ASL Evaluator, Mentor, Master Tutor for over 28 years... here is a feedback to improve and stop spreading incorrect positioning of your arm.... your elbow is too unnaturally too high, it will create tension in the upper arm and shoulder muscles which in turn cause fatigue and a lot of errors. Be careful how you're teaching incorrect methods.
