This video is NOT meant for people looking to learn a new signed language. It is meant for people who already know a signed language and would like to know how to communicate with the Deaf internationally. International Sign Language is not a full language. There is not a full blown international sign language that all Deaf people use, just like there is not an international spoken language that all hearing people use. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN American Sign Language (ASL), I would recommend visiting lifeprint.com and watching the videos (the first 100 signs video will take you a long way), finding ways to get involved in the local Deaf community in your area (yes, there is one where you are located), and watching youtube videos made by Rob Nielson. Some of the signs used in this video are also ASL signs, but some are not. Also, the alphabet and numbers are relatively universal, but still not used in every single country.

He's right. If anyone who does not know sign language like me watch this can't understand what you're saying...

Fascinating to watch this with hearing

There light red and thin typography (words) on the white board are causing people could not see a further image. Please, use black marker on the white board, which apply to black-white colours will be juxtaposing image. Otherwise your ISL is doing well.

is it asl or isl?

[@michaelfarris5829]

A lot of it looks more like ASL than what I've seen for ISL especially NO (in ISL it looks like 'where' in ASL) and NAME is ASL (in ISL it's one handed and moves to the right)
