Hello and welcome to my classroom. I'm here to teach you all my lovely language, American Sign Language. As a Deaf person, it is important to me to educate those who want to learn how to effectively communicate with the hard of hearing community. So, here I am! I'll take any suggestions for different little lessons, and I'll post them all here and probably in another thread so people can look back on th without all the extra posts between them. Things like grammar, signs for specific words, or phrases, about the culture, or really any kind of questions you may have. I'll start with an easy one; "I love you"
To sign I love you, you only have to make one sign. Using your dominant (or available) hand, you extend your pointer, thumb and pinky but fold in your middle and ring fingers. This is similar to the "rock on" symbol that people make. This is the sign used because it combines three asl letters; the I - an extended pinky, the L - an L with your pointer and thumb, and a y - an extended thin and pinky.
