@Leolmlr canada uses asl aswell.
@tiffanymondesir yeah im sure its prolly similar
Thank you for the lesson. :o)
@lvlariale
This is ASL or American Sign Language. For other countries you must sign in other languages. For instance there’s Australia, Spanish and Chinesse sign languages
This makes learning to sign easier. Because its very intimading
this is not BSL
@tiffanymondesir I’m pretty sure its not. Apparently theres tons of different ways to sign (unfortunately). I wish there was just one standard sign language, but alas.
Your videos are great! Thanks. I’m glad I can back up and go over and over again.
@tiffanymondesir no idea. to be honest, i only just started to try and learn english sign language (and then found i dont have enough time at the moment to do so), so i know very little.
what about canada? it would probably be really similar right :s
looks like its only america, the “my name is” is different from the british sign language videos.
Is this only for Americans?or would this work in other countries as well?
thats cool
i have a friend and both of his parents are deaf and he knows ALOT!
its to fast when he does it
thank you rachel! ^^

Excellent instruction. I am in love with the idea of using ASL. Maybe slow it down but it’s still great. Thank you.
