Koe no katachi ❌ I watched that movie a few years ago with my old friends and since I watched it, I always imagined the X over peoples faces if they wronged me or when I shut down emotionally because I just had a mental breakdown today and it drains so much of my energy that I came here. I have been wanting to learn ASL for a long time but I’m not American nor living in America. Yet I feel called to this one instead of my original language. I can tell you, focusing on this and learning how to speak when I verbally cannot speak means so much for me. I hope that I will learn a lot and I will learn enough to cover myself but hopefully also to help ppl out when necessary altho I’m not really expecting that here bc I’m not living in America but I hope I can share it in the future with the people that I love when it is necessary and I hope they will understand me and love me unconditionally ❤

"A sign of affection" anime has led me to finally learn ASL. I really wanted to learn this since nursing school but that time early 2000s there were not a lot resources of videos like this. Thank you. I 1st found you in skilshare. I am loving your lessons.

Yay! Thank you!
We'll keep watching so you guys can keep doing this. Thanks for keeping up the good work.
OMG! I want to learn ASL! I’m sign language interpreter in my church here in Brazil and I love it ❤ I really want to learn ASL so I can take God’s word to deaf people ❤
I love your channel through it I have learned a lot of ASL I did LSG for 3 years I have to learn English now, then I want to get certified somewhere here in LA but for now you help me a lot. In my community I have a school nearby approved by LAUSD ASL. I will sign up to volunteer. Thank you very much for your help❤❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoy your style of teaching very much. Thank you!
Great video Meredith. ❤
I am so thankful for your videos! I have learned so much from you. I am the mom of a profoundly deaf child. I am trying to teach him ASL as well as learn ASL myself. I loves all of your videos however they all seem to be made for hearing people who want to learn ASL. I was wondering if you would ever consider creating some videos for deaf children? I noticed in your videos that the introduction is always verbal for the first few minutes with little to no sign language. That's great and exactly what I need but when I share your videos with my son he sets waiting patiently until the signing starts as he is not reading yet except simple sight words. Just tossing out ideas. Maybe a video with the sight words , weather, seasons, days of week, months of the year, etc
I gotta admit I kept seeing posts about the parameters but didn't understand what they were talking about. I just started my ASL learning journey. Now that I have a clear explanation I gotta say it feels like learning kanji. Lots of similar characters but change a stroke and it's totally different.
Nice to meet you again Mrs. This is my second time though❤
💎 Love your vids! 💎
So I don't know anyone who is deaf or knows asl, but I think it would be a valuable tool to have. So my practice will just be me by myself, what would you recommend me to do for better practice?
I would use my right hand.
Great vid! Frighten got me rolling on the ground- 😂
Practice and immersion
10:30 Yes, I see what you did there. 🙂
Interested in learning
here thanks to A Silent Voice
I got curious about sign language after watching the Korean series, Twinkling Watermelon, so here I am HEHE

There are a few online programs offered. Most notably, Gallaudet University has and online program. There are many in person programs, mostly for associates then you could transfer to a university to continue on.

I know only the Deaf can give sign names, but I am wondering if I am signing about a book or a movie can I make up sign names for the characters so I don't have to fingerspell their names every time?
@LearnHowtoSign

Of course, there are always instances that could happen. If possible allow the Deaf person to present that sign name for this book character.
Which hand do I use?

Right hand ✋

My Cousin might become permanently deaf so my dad thinks i should learn sign language
ASL would be extremely difficult for me. I have issues with reading, and having to spell out and see other people spell out words just doesn't work well for me. I can't physically keep the words in my head long enough to read 1 word.
