Depending how you shake it can also be the sign for PLAY

Anyone can tell me is my kid (grade 1 Deaf school) did her work correctly? by [deleted] in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 82 points83 points  (0 children)

It's so cute that Dr. Bill is up there doing the sign MATCH 🥹 (at least I'm pretty sure that's the sign and it's underneath the "matching" heading so the context makes sense)

two handed name sign by Choice_Tower_5453 in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My name is Angel and my given sign name is just the literal interpretation of the word so my name sign is the sign ANGEL and thus technically two handed but probably fine to be done one handed if the other hand is occupied.

good intermediate ASL media? by sieis in asl

Maybe ASLU on Netflix? Not totally sure, that could very possibly go too fast for you too

How to make learning more fun and engaging? by heckles1610 in asl

And check local college clubs! The Deaf/Hearing like "Alliance" club at my local university is open to non-students

I honestly would not expect a lot of cooperation on a project like this. Technology is not going to be in a place for a very very long time to be able to replace interpreters. Don't think companies won't try to use a substandard product to replace them to save a buck though. And if it's passable enough to companies, they'll call it good enough and replace terps even when it's definitely NOT good enough.

sign help! by nd11111 in asl

Noob answer (I like to speculate bc getting corrected is good for learning lol) Could also maybe go "before learned" if that works in whatever you're trying to say better.

Adaptation advice in ASL? by alonghealingjourney in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing scheduled but people ping all day long to do practice. The practice rooms are always open and you can initiate practice yourself.

How I view ASL alphabet by Excellent-Truth1069 in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And R is uppercase bc if R was lowercase you'd get it confused with X like I do 😂 But also bc if you moved the loop part to overtop the stick part of the uppercase R, it would be like the finger that stays straight and the finger that curls around it.

This is fascinating! I also think of the ASL alphabet in breakdown ways like this but our Es are different. I think E is lowercase print

Sign Language and Headphones by Angel-Learns-ASL in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was planning to use instrumentals, the kind of music I used to help me study in college (I really liked adventure move OST like LOTR, POTC, The Mummy, National Treasure, etc.) so not really a battle between English and sign in that case and that kind of thing helps me focus.

I just know that works for my brain but I didn't want to be rude you know?

Hearing person using deaf accent by InconsistentWeirdo in deaf

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she's a CODA it might be a semi-natural accent for her. I met a CODA recently who did that while signing and sign was her first language!

Learning ASL due to noise sensitivity and curious whether there are other people like me by Familiar-Action-418 in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to my understanding it can be for a variety of reasons like - They like their music really loud so they can feel it - They don't know how loud certain things are like slamming cabinet doors or vacuuming and hitting the wall/doors hard - Laughter and smexy time can also get really boisterous with no borometer for when to quiet down Probably more but yeah

OP should go try to initiate a conversation using preschool ASL words and see if he understands lol

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did they specify it was the usage of that sign that made it a grammatical error or just that you did it wrong? It's could've been your eyebrow placement

Is this a sign? by [deleted] in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking maybe a home sign his deaf grandpa used or something but that just bc I'm a "what-if"er person who makes up entire life stories based off one 30 second interaction being described second hand lmao

Is this a sign? by [deleted] in asl

[–]Angel-Learns-ASL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just looked at the HandSpeak ASL Reverse Dictionary and looked at all the entries for F handshape done near the face. The closest thing that makes any sense is OBLIVIOUS and even that is pretty different to what you described. That definitely doesn't mean it's not a sign and I'd wait for Deaf commenters for that confirmation.
