Hello guys, I just started learning ASL the other day and is it normal to not be able to read fast in ASL? I’m having a hard time reading their sign languages, is there any way I can improve—or does it improve over time?

It improves over time. That is why regular practice is important. I am in section 14 now of this app and also trying to watch some online influencers who are deaf and use sign in their videos as well in addition to doing the lessons in this app. I rewatch the same segment over until I can interpret it as the person signs it. The more I do it, the faster it comes, but it will take constant practice to ever become fluent.

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. ❤️
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.
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.
