Please note: I’m a beginner at ASL, look elsewhere - for example, Joey Baer, if you want to see ASL properly signed.

Awww……you’re really trying to learn ASL. You had a little trouble with “upset” fingerspelling that made you use BSL fingerspelling before correcting yourself. About ‘p’ finger spell should be going down not up in the air because that is for ‘k’ finger spell. Just want you to know the difference between ‘p’ and ‘k’ finger spells.

Nonetheless you did a great job trying to talk to Americans like me in ASL! Keep it up! I’m sure you’ll do a great job when you feel more comfortable with both ASL and BSL. It’s great to have many more new languages to learn.

Misha :D

Not bad for your ASL skills. Only difference is that I am Canadian. Most Deaf Canadians share same languages (ASL and English language) with Deaf Americans. Glad you have joined us and we love to learn more about Deaf British people as well as other countries throughout the world.

Your ASL is VERY good! You seem to have done well, and I feel that your ASL is properly signed.

I really loved your vlog! It’s really cool to see other country signs. I’ve always wanted to learn different sign languages so I can visit and socialize with deaf people without having any difficulties. :) Thanks for teaching and explaining the difference. Great job with your ASL, keep going!!

Your ASL is pretty good and you need add more face expression, show moody. You sign ASL with flat face that tell me the boring story so try use more face expression. keep on learning. Good day.
