Thank you! I've never had "loan words" explained---especially when a letter is omitted i.e. "job". Thank you! And, thank you for reassuring that multiple signs may be used for the same word--thus keep flexible.
Very welcome, I try to cover things that I wish I had known earlier as a student years ago. I'm glad you found the video helpful and thanks for watching 🙂
I found out of I have a deaf neighbor and over the pandemic with all this extra time I decided to try and learn ASL to make a connection with my neighbor. She has become a good friend of mine but I still have so much to learn. I have really enjoyed and appreciated your videos. The words are useful common ones and you are a good teacher in that you make it easy to understand and provide helpful learning tips and advice. Thank you!
That is so nice that you want to communicate with you neighbor. In my 20's I had a deaf co-worker that no body took the time to learn ASL to at least say "Goodmorning" to her. I'm sure she felt very lonely as I often saw. So I decided to talk to her by writing and we became good friends afterwards. Then she would sign some words and I learned the ASL alphabet that enabled me to spell and ask for correct signs for what I wanted to say. Thus is how I became fluent enough in ASL to talk a storm with her😂. Eventually I was able to translate my supervisers instructions to her😊.
I am a newly-recruited teacher of deaf students herein Pakistan. In my pursuit of learning signs , I reached into your channel . Having watched your first video , I thought it would be unfair to not record feedback for you , my venerated mentor ! I am blessed to have you as a virtual mentor !
Thanks for the tips! And by the way I love your videos they are so easy to understand and you have made sign language so easy to learn. I have gotten so much better at ASL because of these, thank you so much!

Can you say which hand is which? Sometimes videos it gets flipped. I just want to make sure I’m using the right hand to do things. Or does that not matter?
My local technical community college has asl classes, levels 1-3, I’ve wanted to take them for years and watching your videos has really boosted my confidence!
My younger sister is on the spectrum, after speech therapy for many years as a child she speaks very well. However she hates talking she hates listening even more due to an auditory sensory problem. So she began learning sign language and using asl to communicate with certain peers and our mother. Although her not talking frustrated me, I finally decided to learn some ASL so I can communicate with her when she is overstimulated.
I'm trying to get some basics of ASL because of this ONE lady who shops at the grocery store I work at. I have already learned how to say "Thank you/you're welcome" from her but I think it would make her day if I know stuff like "help" and "how much" :D
I'm one of those who speaks spanish natively, also speaks English, has no friends with any disability or verbal problem, and there's no "immediate need" for me to learn this, yet I always found it interesting, and now I started learning it thanks to this channel (not only that but also know no person I can practice it with 😂, no friend, neighbor, I'm just practicing with myself thinking "yes I'm doing awesome, if I was on the other side I'd totally understand what I'm saying" but in reality I have not a clue lol). Found it really easy to learn (can't imagine how easy would it be if one used it frequently) and also think it's always helpful to know how to community with even more people (now if someone, myself included, needs help, I'll be able to understand it and react better to it)
@@rahima_mx I stopped and then tried returning to it. Found it kind of hard to study since in Argentina (I'm Argentinian) the sign language spoken is not the same as in the US or Europe (or even Spain for example). Now I'm working on an app to help people from here learn the language as a final project for uni 😂 I'm not fully invested in the language because the app doesn't require me to "speak" it, I'm mostly focusing on the mechanics, the app itself, rather than the content. Judging by your nickname, are you a Mexican living in the US?
@@NikoBellicXDS Owww I understand. But the app sounds fun tho. I'd be interested in giving it a shot. And no I'm not Mexican I'm Ghanaian. The mx is something I saw a Muslim content creator attach to her username and I'm also Muslim so I was like yh lemme just attach it to my name lol 😅😅😅
@@rahima_mx Oh so from Ghana, that's cool (still not getting why study the American one instead of any other lol), I get you must have family or friends in the US, or something alike. No idea about the mx part then (I'm not Muslim yet still never heard of the mx thing, apart from Mexico = Mx, I'm now kinda confused about it 🤔). Will try to share the app whenever I get a public version of it (in 2 months or so), you still won't get it since it will be in spanish (since it's designed for the Argentina-variant, and for local people 😅).
Check out Sutton SignWriting! It's a writing system for ASL. Or if you want a system that you can type, try Stokoe notation. I've been using both of those to study ASL and it really helps to have an easy consistent way to write signs down.
I am now trying to learn signing for my downs sydrome 28 year old son his school used the pod book for many years and his generation of students miss out on signing ,wish us luck ,never to late for anyone to learn something new
Asl is its own language (grammar, syntax etc). There are 3 different ways (usually) that people sign. ASL,PSE,and SEE. They’ve changed the PSE if I remember correctly. I agree with Samantha that it depends on how your brain functions.
Love your videos! I'm trying to teach myself ASL during quarantine and I LOVE how you include the different variations. I find that very helpful. I also like how you show the proper hand-shapes. That's also very helpful!
I think “with” is a high frequency word and also could you do a video about common verbs? I’m learning sign during quarantine and you are a great teacher!
Hey Chris,since this pandemic I trying to learn sign since I knew that I would want to hear everyone’s experience.is it ok if you can link me both your finger spelling ideas?
This is one of the most enjoyable lessons I had, I’m genuinely interested in learning languages and I was planning to learn ASL yrs ago but I was lazy, it’s easier than i thought , I know it’s the first lesson but it’s fun I loved it
You're very easy to learn under. I hope to learn enough to learn to sign praises and worship songs. I love to watch them it's so beautiful and I can feel the presence of God. Do you have any tips learning tips to sign songs easily and faster. Thank you for teaching me.
Thank you very much for this sir! you are a hero. I just started learning ASL and you explained it comprehensively and smooth. You gain a subscriber! ❤
Are you teaching sign language with the hands for us to do or when we practice the signs we need to do with the left when you use your left and the right when you use the right hand? (Even though for us it would be the right if you are using your left hand since we are in front of you)
this is very helpful!!!! your lively voice definetly helps for visualisation, and the timecodes too because after watching the vid i can easily recap everything that i didn't remember :) thank you!! although the number "116" in the playlist scares me... xD
Hey Chris, just watched you video. wow it is amazing, its so cool how there are different ways to sign the same word in different ways. keep it up can't wait to see and learn more from you
What’s the difference in the last 2 signs at 3:50? I can’t find the difference in hand motions and I don’t understand how they’re both “depressed” but they’re different emotions. Could it be that one of them is an emotion while the other is more along the lines of “I have depression”?
Are we supposed to mirror you or make sure we use the same hand you did? For example if you’re using your right arm, I’ll see it on my left since you’re facing me. In that case, would I use my right arm too, or should I mirror you and use my left?
I'm confused by the 3rd and 4th signs for "sad." I get the color blue and the first sign for sad, but the next two appear to be the same. What's the difference?
Sounds like he might have an auditory processing disorder or verbal apraxia. Both of those will cause speech delay that doesn't affect signing ability.
Hi there! These videos have really helped! I’m wondering, if you were to sign double letters, in another comment you said people sign one on top of the other or slightly next to it. Could I just sign it in the same space and pull my hand back slightly, and push it back? I believe this is called knocking, so would that be considered yelling? Thanks for all the help!
It tends to vary from person to person and can sometimes be regional, but in our experience most people will slide the letters slightly to the side, although it can sometimes depend on the location of the double letter (middle or end of word/name) or the letter itself (L vs S). "Punching the letter is also done too though, so I would just emulate how others in your local community sign double letters :)
Thank you for explaining the different meanings and signs for each word. I do wish you had maybe shown the signs a bit slower or from other angles- sometimes it gets confusing to know what the differences are between signs and that usually helps me. I know this video is older though 😅
hey i just wanted to say i'm finding your videos very helpful in learning ASL. my idea to learn actually came from a fictional character and i thought "hey i wanna do that" so i started looking on youtube today and i found your videos =) thanks for making these super easy vids. keep up the great job!
That is great that you are finding the videos helpful in learning ASL! Just out of curiosity, who was the fictional character that inspired you to learn?
@@ChrisGorges sorry about the delayed reply! his name is Hearthstone and he is from the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan. Rick is one of my favorite authors and i thought it would be cool if i knew sign incase i had a relationship with someone like Hearth^-^
Did you ever do a video with stuff in your house. like door, doors, lock, window, closet, television, couch, chair and so on ? All rooms in the house. video helping with shopping?

I I’m learning Portuguese rn and I wanted to learn 2 languages at the same time but didn’t want my brain mixing them up, so I chose ASL since my brain can’t really mix it up with a verbal language
Could you please do phrases such as “not my problem” which I do know how to do that one. If you already have one like that could you send me a link, please. Thank you! Have a stellar day
Hi! I know this vid is old but are you left hand dominant or using left hand signs so it’s not reversed to the viewer? Very interested to know. Thanks, Gianni❤
@@ChrisGorges Thanks Chris! I’m left handed and am studying ASL with my right hand. I thought that might make my signing more “authentic”. 😉 Almost all signing videos with signs that use greater motions I have to interpolate which direction I need to move my sign in order to come across correctly. Thanks again for the info and great videos. Gianni❤️

Hello, I don't know if you're still active but if you are, i wanna ask something. I have no background in sign language but been wanting to learn it as i find it very romantic 😅. I am Filipino, and will i be able to understand FSL if i learn ASL first? Or will Filipino Deaf community be able to understand me if im using ASL? thanks!
Yes, these are very common signs that are used across the United States, however, there may also be regional signs that are more commonly used in your area
As with many languages, there are variations even within the same country, and sign language is no different. Although most of the signs are the same, you may come across different signs for the same words/concepts in different areas
Yes, there are nearly a dozen different signs for the English word run (ie. running nose, refridgerator is running, a running river, running in a political race, physically running, etc)
@@ChrisGorges 🦅💁🏻♂️Yes, and I also did liked your video, and the information you shared was very helpful too. Its so interesting that common English vocab has different variations to interpret in ASL especially the smaller words. I'll keep this info as one of my references. Thank you for sharing! 😉
I noticed for the word blue there was 2 of almost the same sign for the sad one, only difference was you pulling your middle finger back. I was wondering if that meant anything special or if it was literally just another sign that means the same thing.
Whenever I'm trying to sign, I feel like I'm doing very weel, but then I forget all the signs by the end of the video. I tried watching it multiple times but nothing works. Any tips?
This video involves a lot of speaking. And if you use gestures, it makes it very confusing because I don’t know if you are signing or just moving your hands.

@@ChrisGorges
It is just my brain or is signing way easier to learn than a spoken language???
For me, learning sign was much easier than learning another spoken language for sure
Yup exactly
There is no auditory element. Listen can be one of the hardest parts of learning a spoken language
It depends on how your brain works. If you are a more visual spatial person or linear spoken person.
Yes

It took a while to realize that this video is a mirror image of the original video. I ended up learning in reverse, too. LOL!
I took the VIP subscription. I can't find where I log into your website.

Hello, I don't know if you're still active but if you are, i wanna ask something. I have no background in sign language but been wanting to learn it as i find it very romantic 😅. I am Filipino, and will i be able to understand FSL if i learn ASL first? Or will Filipino Deaf community be able to understand me if im using ASL? thanks!
Do these signs work for illnois?
Yes, these are very common signs that are used across the United States, however, there may also be regional signs that are more commonly used in your area
@@ChrisGorges um im sorry this might sound dumb, but what are regional signs?
@@alexiarenteria8755 I think he means sign variations that are used more often in your area. Region is a synonym for area that you live in.
thank you
this might sound dumb, but you said your from California and I'm from NY are some signs different?
As with many languages, there are variations even within the same country, and sign language is no different. Although most of the signs are the same, you may come across different signs for the same words/concepts in different areas
The video is mirrored right? I hope im right because I've been using my right hand, dominant hand, whenever you sign something
If you're right hand dominant, then yes, you would sign predominantly with your right hand
My sudden urge to master sign language. Lets see how long that lasts
lol
🦅💁🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ What about the sign for "run"? It as well has several meanings behind it as well. I'm just wondering about it
Yes, there are nearly a dozen different signs for the English word run (ie. running nose, refridgerator is running, a running river, running in a political race, physically running, etc)
@@ChrisGorges 🦅💁🏻♂️Yes, and I also did liked your video, and the information you shared was very helpful too. Its so interesting that common English vocab has different variations to interpret in ASL especially the smaller words. I'll keep this info as one of my references. Thank you for sharing! 😉
I noticed for the word blue there was 2 of almost the same sign for the sad one, only difference was you pulling your middle finger back. I was wondering if that meant anything special or if it was literally just another sign that means the same thing.
i couldn't tell any difference. 😅 maybe it's kind of like a dialect thing?
This is Daniel Benjamin long , when is the 2 nt. 10 high frequency words coming ?
This is Daniel Benjamin long, did you know when the 2 frenquency words coming out
I saw this video and thought it would be interesting.

This is Daniel Benjamin long, when is the part 2 of frequency words coming
This is Daniel long , when is the 2 frenquency words part 2 coming out
Whenever I'm trying to sign, I feel like I'm doing very weel, but then I forget all the signs by the end of the video. I tried watching it multiple times but nothing works. Any tips?
Not sure if you’ve already seen this one, but here is a video I did about how you can remember what you learn th-cam.com/video/yW894mRSab4/w-d-xo.html
How should i start learning sign language?
is I say "sad" in asl, Will/can I sign blue?
I appreciate and respect that you put this video together however you shouldn't talk to teach sign
I have to have captions to learn but captions hide your hand motions! Suggestions?
I believe on a desktop or laptop you can move and resize the captions, have you tried watching the video on computer
Do you know any new signs for community
So good
You are awesome
lol, thanks 😀
ik there is a 4th come don't play with me. teach me sir. lmfao
Ik i probably wont get an answer but does anyone know if his videos are mirrored?
I don’t think so
Most of the videos are not but this one is because I used the front facing camera to record
@@ChrisGorges thank you so much!
5:09 i saw him holding back the laugh 💀
Thanks! Just a suggestion... when recording, look at the lens and not the screen. It looks like you're reading off a teleprompter :-)
Thanks for the feedback :)
This video involves a lot of speaking. And if you use gestures, it makes it very confusing because I don’t know if you are signing or just moving your hands.
