ASL

When learning a new language, there are a few types of vocabulary words that one learns first. For example when I learned Spanish, we started off with greetings. Now that I already know a few common words (colors) and the alphabet, I can begin to learn how to actually communicate in ASL.
Also while I'm learning all of this vocabulary, I am continuing to learn a song in sign language! The name of the song is a suprise though, so you'll have to be patient.

COMMON GREETINGS:

Hi / hello:

Hey:

Good morning:


Good night:


Goodbye:

How are you:


Whats up:
The sign for "what's up" uses a modified "5" handshape on each hand with the middle finger is bent forward from the large knuckle. The fingertips of the middle-fingers are placed on or near the chest and then the hands are flipped so that the middle fingers are pointing upward and the palms are facing up.

See you later:

Thats all for now!
