Hi I'm Tia and I am brushing up on my ASL. Without a friend to practice with I frequently turn to youtube videos. Some are better than others. On this blog I will post the ones that I find most helpful and most fun to watch.

Nice to Meet You

I like these 'Signing Time' videos. 
There isn't too much information at once and every sign is clear and easy to understand. Enjoy!

ABC Song

Okay so I hope this video clears up any questions we have on our alphabet letters and how they are formed. In this video the letter D is a little hard to tell the shape of, but between the two videos I'm sure you'll have your alphabet figured out quickly and some catchy tunes stuck in your head as well.

The Alphabet Song

This first post goes out to my little friend Miss M. 
Without her I wouldn't know that this fun alphabet song even existed. 
Learning the alphabet is fundamental to learning sign language because so many signs use an alphabet letter a part of the sign. For example, remembering that the sign for 'family' will be much easier if you recognize that the sign is made while the hands are making the letter 'F'.

My only criticism of this particular video is that a few of the signs are hard to see (J, O, P, Q and X) and I am pretty sure that they are signing the letter K wrong. Oh well, I'll post one more alphabet video and I am sure between the 2 we'll have some alphabet clarity!
