Hey Signers, welcome to Learn How  to Sign. If you're just learning ASL   this video is for you! Today you're going to learn  the first 25 signs that you need to know in ASL.   If you find this video helpful be sure  to like subscribe and be notified. We're   making videos like this every week. Now let's  learn how to sign your first 25 words in ASL.   Before we begin learning these first 25 words you  need to know that there are five important things   when learning signs you need to make sure that you  need to know. The hand shape, palm orientation,   movement, location and none-manual signals of  each sign. So for instance we have the sign ME.   It's an index finger, which is its hand shape,  in the location on your chest pointing towards   yourself and your palm is facing down and there's  no facial expression with it. Now if you'd sign   it like this with your thumb that would be  incorrect and it wouldn't be a sign at all.   So make sure that you're following each and  every sign knowing exactly what each hand shape,   location, movement, palm orientation and  non-manual signal is doing in each sign.  HELLO HELLO Your dominant hand is coming   out from your forehead. HELLO  SEE YOU LATER SEE YOU LATER You're doing the sign for see and flipping   it to later see you later SEE YOU LATER I or ME  You're just pointing with your  index finger towards yourself  I or ME FATHER FATHER  It's the five hand but the top of  the head where the masculine part is  FATHER MOTHER   MOTHER It's the five hand on your chin.  MOTHER YES YES  Your hand is representing your head nodding. YES  NO NO It's like the letter n and o put together.  NO HELP HELP  The old sign used to be help like somebody  was helping somebody across the street   and then it changed into.... HELP  PLEASE PLEASE It's a flat hand making a circle on your chest.  PLEASE THANK YOU   THANK YOU Your hand is coming out from your chin.  THANK YOU WANT WANT  You have bent five hands  bringing it in towards yourself.  WANT WHAT WHAT  Your five hands are kind of bent  in together moving in and out.  WHAT DOG DOG  It's just like you're getting a dog. DOG  CAT CAT It's the cat's whiskers.  CAT AGAIN or REPEAT  Your dominant hand is coming  into the middle of your hand.  AGAIN or REPEAT EAT FOOD EAT FOOD  When you're eating it goes in and food goes twice.
