Do you sign "good" and "thank you" the same way? And if so how can I know which which sign is which?

The only difference I see between the two is that with “Good”, you touch your dominant hand to your other hand after it’s touched your chin. With “Thank you”, you don’t touch your dominant to anything after it’s touched your chin. You can also look up videos of people signing these words if you’re confused.

I agree with these comments, but I can see the confusion because Ive seen some fluent signers completely disregard touching the non dominant hand for good. it can get very confusing when watching a fluent speaker talk naturally. they are so very fast and so familiar with the language they naturally know how to interpret signs in short hand. its like when you speak, some people pronounce certain words differently. some times you just have to know how to connect a word based on the rest of the sentence or context.

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.

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?🤔🤔🔥

New to 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.
