When they sign m or n and they have there fingers pointing out is that the way you are supposed to do it cause I have seen it other ways.

As far as i know, you are not supposed to do it that way. Think of it as holding up a fist and then just putting your thumb under 3 or 2 fingers, while keeping to original fist shape

yeah that threw me off at first too since I have never seen anyone do it like that in any other app. I think they are just doing it like that so it's easier for us to see and tell the difference between m & n because they can look similar especially when some one is signing fast. that's just a guess though.

m is 3 fingers pointing out and n is 2 fingers pointing out with both of the signs having the thumb tucked under the fingers pointed out

From my understanding, it's either or. People have subtle differences in their signing style, kinda like accents in English. I think they're also doing that to help you practice with a more clear difference.

you can do it either way. It’s just it’s easier if you have your finger sticking out because it distinguishes it from other sides that might be like that
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!
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.
