So I've started learning ASL not long ago and when I first learned big it was the hooked finger in a swirl going around her head but then in a sentence she did like a hooked finger downward. Can someone explain?

well big is just making your hands wide like house just make it big or glass, make it big or small, you can do thick though

Yeah there are many ways to do that sign 😁 But BIG is just spreading your arms out or you can hold your hands out in a "big " way and shake them up and down to sign big if something is big. That is just off the top of my head

Great explanations Remember ASL is a language so people can speak the same language but with a different accent individuals who sign can have their unique accent but we learn to recognize the words ☺️😉

yes exactly good point!!
I would really like to learn grammar and sentence structure. I know a little but I mainly sign English word for word.
I am wondering when… *The person you are talking about is not present* Say your in a conversation and your talking about “him” or “her”, do you specify in the conversation, “girl” before you point on the side of you or “boy” to be specific in who you are talking about? Thx
Hey everyone I hope everyone is doing well! Do y'all have any tips because for some reason it's hard for me to remember and to use. Do anyone else feel the same way? Thx asl fam!!😊😊
Hello intersign! I've only recently started learning ASL and was wonder if anyone has any tips for remembering the different grammer rules and general structure of ASL. I find that whenever I try to practice, I always accidentally slip into English structure. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance!
If you have to sign topic words first, and there's a sentence about 2 things, what's the sign going first?
