Guys, I'm new to this app. Does this app only teach vocabulary signs not sentence? Are there any tips how to know if my signing is grammatically correct or not? My English is poor.sry.

I would focus on grammar ( like normal grammar) after I understand vocab. Also use a grammar app if you don't like the previous, cause this app only does vocab. Hope this helps!

You mean Grammar app is just an English language grammar app or something grammar app for ASL? Thank you Very much for commenting.☘️✨ That helps me a lot.

Both would probably work, but my thought process was a regular grammar app!

there are a couple lessons here and there that give a very quick explanation but almost no detail. you pick up some just by seeing the sentence structure they use but your not going to get it down with just this app. there is SEE which stands for sign English exact which is where you just sign the way you talk in English but it's not ASL. there is also what is known as contact ASL where a native ASL signer is in contact with some one who doesn't know the rules for ASL and they are both trying to communicate so the other can understand. it's like transitioning from SEE to ASL. it's perfectly fine to use SEE or contact ASL while you learn and and get more comfortable with the grammar any native signer will be able to understand you and meet you where you are just make sure you keep learning and improving

My first signing book from 20 years ago was SEE based and so I just learned the vocab for the signs I wanted. I even used signs for “the,” “and” and other words that ASL leaves out. So this app was the first time I saw that ASL did not sign in the same way the hearing world speaks. I guess ASL is like a form of short hand.

Important notice - ABC: Spelling Videos

We’ve received several reports from learners who noticed that the letter O can look like an E in some videos, like in the word “SOUP” in ABC 3, Lesson 2. Miss Lesli, is actually spelling S-O-U-P correctly. However, we completely understand why it can look like S-E-U-P, especially if you are still learning the differences between these handshapes. The confusion comes from the way the letter O is being presented in the video. When Miss Lesli forms the O, her fingertips are facing toward the camera, which makes the circular shape of the O difficult to see from the viewer's perspective. The O and E can look quite similar from this angle, particularly to someone who is still becoming familiar with ASL. There is an important difference: when forming the O, the fingertips come together with the thumb to create a complete closed circle. With the E, the fingertips curl down but do not form that same fully closed circle against the thumb. Unfortunately, the current camera angle makes this distinction much harder to see than it should be. We've actually received similar feedback from learners, so we agree that this is something we need to improve (Same with spelling videos where letters M & N are used). We will be updating these videos and adjusting how the signs are presented so that the handshapes and spelling are much clearer for new learners. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and helping us improve Intersign!

Signing the Sign

Learning a few ASL signs used in Christian worship can help share faith in a clear and meaningful way. • God – An open hand moves upward from the forehead. The motion points upward, symbolizing God above us. • Jesus – The middle finger touches the center of each palm. This represents the nail wounds from the crucifixion. • Pray – Hands together near the chin in a prayer position, representing speaking to God. • Church – Fingers interlock, symbolizing believers gathered together as one body. • Bible – Hands open like a book, representing the Scriptures being read and shared. • Holy Spirit – A hand moves outward from the mouth like breath or wind, reflecting how Scripture often describes the Spirit. These signs are simple, meaningful, and a beautiful way to express faith through American Sign Language. What is your favorite sign?🤔🤔🔥

Just saying Hi👋👋👋

Hi👋👋 I am new here I am hearing but I have been around sign language all my life since I was little. I want to say that ASL is a way that all of God's people to be able to communicate. Hearing or not. I thank God for this app and for the ability to learn Asl.
