Idk if this is common knowledge but I genuinely don’t know. If I sign the wrong word in a conversation or the wrong letter while spelling, what do I do? I don’t want to confuse the person I’m talking to by suddenly changing my sentence mid-way through. Can someone give me advice? Thanks

What I’ve do in conversation is shake my head like I’m saying no and waving my hand like I’m erasing what I’ve signed then I sign “I sign again”. Then I try again a little slower to get it right. I’ve encounter deaf people and CODA’s who spell things wrong. Perhaps they are bad at spelling like I am. They repeat themselves if I ask to sign again. Once I understand we just keep the communication moving forward. From my experiences everyone signs a little different just like people speak in many different way even when we are speaking English. I Focus on connection and understanding rather than perfect form or grammar. Interact with everyone you can and you’ll see that there is no absolute one way to sign. stay motivated and good luck in your journey.

I was gonna suggest slapping your signing hand and wag your finger at it as if to say "bad hand!" but that's probably even more confusing...but it might get a laugh. 😁😄

"No! Bad! How dare you sign a T instead of a K!" 😆

Hi
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?🤔🤔🔥
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.
Hey everyone! I just wanna say even when you get frustrated, keep going! It's going to be so worth it when you become fluent. ❤️
I am not hearing impaired but am speech impaired. My husband is not speech impaired and is not deaf but is quite hard of hearing. I have unilateral vocal chord paralysis with weak voice and tendency for laryngospasms. We just started learning the alphabet and can only fingerspell slowly. He is not speech impaired. Plan is, he will read my signs and speak for me in public. Am on Section 1, ABC 2. Have learned 19 of 26 letters. Years of learning still ahead but one step at a time.
