I’m learning sign language. I’m so excited I found you. Its helping me a lot. You are the best teacher. Thank you so much!!
Yay thank YOU so much! I'm glad you find these videos useful for learning.
Feels very rewarding when I understand some of the things you said in your example sentences!! :D
Same!
I got diagnosed with severe, bilateral Meniere's disease a year ago, and have lost most of my hearing FAST. These videos are so helpful! I love the sample sentences, because the word order and grammar is so different
I loved the questions used for practice at the end. The format you used was also perfect, giving us a few chances and also slowing things down! Thanks again!
Hi Mona, thanks for this great feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed learning from this format and speed. :)
i tend to learn more when you do example sentences. i repeat the video before the voice over to understand on my own what you're signing. it's been really helpful because you're applying it in real life situations. Thank you so much Meredith! 🙏🏼😊
Thanks for sharing, Chris! It's great for me to know you find this format useful for learning -- I'll aim to do more like this! :D
Wonderful! Love the sentence format. It is very helpful in training my brain to think in “ASL” rather than “English”. I will be going back to this to test my retention, improvement, and to refresh!
Awesome, Donette! Thank you for sharing - I'm so glad you find this useful. I'll aim to do more in this format.
This is amazing! I'm 16 learning asl and your the perfect teacher I've been looking for

You're.
I love how you reemphasize the sentence. Plus you take your time. Thanks
This was SO helpful! Thank you, Meredith, you're the best!!!

So glad I found you during this work from home time! I will finally be able to communicate with one of my students w/o help from my signing staff. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Love that you're learning to better communicate with you student :)
I'm a beginner and so slow so i really appreciate how you do your videos. Thank you!
I've studied ASL with different teachers and Meredith is one of the best out there. Her pace is helpful and she educates you on different ways of expressing the same idea.
Ahmad, you're too kind! Thanks for the encouraging comment. I'm so glad you find the format of these videos useful. :)

@@ASLMeredith You are welcome! ...and yes, thank you, I definitely will! ☺
I got numbers 5, 6, 8, and 9 sentences correct! I began learning ASL from Meredith's online course last January 2020 and finished last August. This year, I'm reviewing each module again plus additional content on RUclips. The numbers are the most challenging, but I feel competent enough for basic conversation if I meet any Deaf speakers. Thank you for your hard work, Meredith!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do the example sentences and in three speeds and English help with sounds.
Thank you Meredith. I've learning so much from you.
Thanks, Sabrina! I'm so glad you find these videos useful for learning.
I love this format for learning with sentences. It helps me work on comprehension and also builds vocabulary. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback on the format! I'm so glad you enjoyed learning and practicing this way.
Thank you so much for these videos! This is my favorite ASL RUclips channel because you really help me learn more ASL while not overwhelming me.
Hi Shelby, thank you for your kind message! I'm so glad you find these videos helpful for learning at a pace that works for you. Keep up the good work!
I just started learning ASL by watching your videos this week. I love your practice sentences. I'm so excited when I understand part or all of a sentence after just a few days 😊 Some of them have some vocabulary words I haven't come across yet, so I rewatch and add more vocabulary to my brain, so win-win!!! Thank you!
Hi Lynette, thank you for sharing!! I'm so gld you find these videos useful as a beginner and these practice sentences to see how you've improved already! Keep up the great work !!
I really liked this one. I like the way you broke it down in the 3 speeds, that was really helpful! Saves me from rewinding and stopping all the time. I realize it must mean some more work on your part, so thanks for doing that for us! 🤟
Hi Jake, thank you so much for this encouraging feedback!! I'm so glad you enjoyed learning from this format. Yes, it's a bit more time-intensive, so it helps to know that it's worth it. I appreciate you letting me know - and I'll aim to do more like this!

Very helpful! I did understand a few of the simpler sentences but it's very surprising I'm learning so fast. Mostly through this channel but a few others too
That's awesome! :D
I’ve been watching ASL videos for two days. I’m surprised I could under stand most of these at the beginners speed! 🙂 thank you for helping!
That's so great, Jesika! Keep up the good work!!
Wow you have a lot of experience in sign language , I took only one class in linguistics, it was HARD it was called the linguistics of American Sign Language 😖
Hi Jill! Thanks for sharing! I've taken a Linguistics of ASL class, too! It's so fascinating. Love it! Keep at it :)
LOVED this video!
Grammar and ASL sentance structure is where I struggle the most right now, and this was very helpful.
I would love more videos like this please!
Thank you SO much for the encouraging comment! I'm so glad you found this format useful. I'll aim to do more sentence reviews like this.
Thank you Meredith for your Video it great to review my ASL Skills . 🤟🤟🤟🤟

Thank you for this helpful video, Meredith! You've really helped me a lot with my ASL skills! Have a nice day! 🙂👍👐
Thank YOU, Sarah! I'm so glad you find these videos useful for learning. Keep up the great work!
This was very helpful, as usual, and I'm looking forward in asking people what they want or what did they eat for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner. Favorite foods for the three...etc. Thanks Meredith!! Great vid!!
Thanks, Jason!!!
Thank you for your videos, I'm happy and grateful for them. Thank you...
Glad you like them!
I'm in my second semester of ASL with a professor who is deaf but grew up in a hearing house so she uses a lot of initialized signs and a lot of SEE/PSL signs. She doesn't realize that she's doing them or that there is a different ASL sign so we get confused a lot. My professor last semester was hearing and made it a point to teach us the true ASL signs so it's a little frustrating that now we are being taught the initialized signs for meals.
Hi Chelsey, yeah the initialized signs are pretty commonly used, though, so they're not purely SEE. Different people feel differently about them, though. Good to know both!
meredith!!! i really appreciate your videos so much. many of the videos that i find on yt for asl in particular contain helpful ways to learn certain words, sentences, etc. but they don't always have any sound (which i understand and perhaps it would be disrespectful to do so?) or don't include subtitles and as a beginner it is hard to learn without them. thank you so much for your videos!! 😣♥️ stay safe. learning plenty from you
Hi Bryan, thanks for your comment! I'm so glad you find this format useful for learning :)
You are my favorite asl teacher!!
Another great lesson, lots to unpack. I really like the full sentence examples, it helps me add vocabulary and understand ASL sentence structure.
Thank you for the encouraging feedback! So glad you found this video and its sentences useful. Be sure to grab the free PDF for sentence structure explanations! :)
Hey, Meredith! This is one of your best videos for beginners like me! Regular speed, half speed, and beginner with audio is a great reinforcement system! Ful sentences are so useful! Please consider using this format again! Mazel tov! Bernie.
Thanks for this feedback! I'll keep it in mind!
I really liked these sentences/examples and found I could actually understand some of them now! The different speeds helped greatly, as I am just a beginner and find regular fingerspelling very hard to follow. I am practicing every day and in various places, fingerspelling everything I see. I guess people wonder what I am doing, but I don’t care!
Awesome, Ruth!! Way to go! I'm so glad you're finding progress in understanding these signs annd sentences. Fingerspelling definitely takes extra practice and exposure! Keep at it !!
Sentences are so helpful to learn! Thank you !
Thanks again, Robin! :)
This was great! The sentence structure was very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Tiffany! I'm glad you found this useful.
The sentences are great. I'm really trying to work on getting used to the normal speed. Having those three speeds for the sentences really helps me develop that skill.
Awesome, Stephanie! Thanks - I'm so glad you're finding that format useful for learning and practice. Keep at it!
Oh love this lesson! Can you do more of these with other signs?
Up until the 10th example, I understood a good amount of the examples. Some of them I understood right away 😭🙌🏽🙌🏽
The 10th example threw me off completely
These practice sentences were super clear and helpful! I also like that you show all the sign variations 👍🏻
THanks, Shira! Glad you find it useful :)
Feels good to say I'm blessed in many languages...... Now to the flow
Definitely using the first example for breakfast. Do NOT want to accidentally call someone the B word haha.
I loved the example sentences! Please do more! Also, have you done any food measuring videos, such as cup of sugar, 1/2 tsp, etc....? I am unable to find any ASL cooking recipes videos. Thank you!
Thank you!! This has helped me big time!!! I’m working toward being an asl interpreter!
That's awesome!
i could understand about 4 sentences. Got to keep practicing!
You've got this! Keep at it!
Hello Meredith,
Did you make any video on fruits and vegetables? If yes then could you please send me the link? I'm taking ASL classes right now. I learned a lot more from your videos than in my class. Thank you for making these videos!!!
i actually understood one of the example sentences!! i was so excited!
High five! 🙌
i got alittle bit of each sentence but some of it i didnt get but my job coach from seacoast mental health and voc rehab they might be helping me to go school so i can be come a asl interpreter so watching your videos and others on repeat so i can learn it good for me to watch someone else sign as well like you did in this video cuz it kinda gave me a test on what i remember. i'll be doing the schooling online and then working from home. i'm disabled and not able to get out.
Thank you, yet again. Your instruction is excellent. 😁
Thank you again! I appreciate your encouraging feedback :D
Thanks
Thank you for your videos! They are helping me to learn and prepare for my ASL interpreter exam.
Best of luck!
I feel my sign language getting better and I am so happy 🥺
YAY! That makes me happy, too!
This is good thanks
Thank you.
These questions were awesome! Definitely would love more of them! I’m learning so much. Thank you!!
YAY! I'm so glad you found this useful, Christina!

Yes I liked the questions? Your style for teaching is great with different angles and speed are super helpful. (I'm a very beginner so never get them on first try but play them over and over u till I get them 🤓) Would u please tell me what that word was after snack pack and take. I played over and over but still couldn't catch it. Thank u
Hi there! Thanks for the feedback - I'm glad you like this format. The word after SNACK PACK and TAKE is "IMPORTANT" :) get the full explanation of all signs and grammar from this video at aslmeredith.com/meals -- it may help!
The b breakfast.
Use a letter b go up , near two lips Meredith
Always here to learn thank you miss and may God bless you for the good work you really got me covered I just got the #5 thank you I'm learning
Thanks so much! Glad you're learning!
Loved the sentences!
Glad it helped!
Thank you
I did ok but probably be better if I had glasses on so I can see the TV a little better LOL. I really enjoyed them though.
Hi Liana, thanks for sharing! Yes seeing well might help :) but glad you enjoyed!
Yeah did much better the second time around with glasses on LMBO. Was being lazy and didn't want to get out of bed to put them on last time.
Hi meredith. i like your vid very well and is very helpful. in the minute 7:34 at the end of the sentence .you repeated the I again when you already said it in the begining and it sounds confused.well done anyway.i want to learn this lenguage too.it is very interesting. greetings !
You’re awesome 👏🏼
Thanks, Miriam - YOU'RE awesome! :D
it is correct signs asl perfect next time I wish for met you after Lunch time have a nice day,, smiles hero big Meredith,
Maybe am a little late to tell you how amazing I found your videos- but never too late to say thank you for doing what you do-
Am learning sign language because I have a project in mind dedicated only for deaf communities and hard of hearing individuals-
I truly appreciate your videos and if I have any question do you have a website or a general email address. Greatly appreciate your time.
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I'm so glad you find these videos useful for learning. My website is at ASLMeredith.com with a contact form there.
@@ASLMeredith thank you so much
So very much I'll visit your website
Wait when you say hello. Is it and option to also have your other hand wave or is that just.. a personal preference?
I was completely wondering the same thing
AslMeredith
Breakfast
A letter is " B "
The arm stay, move to touch the lower lip, letter b. For example , Eating ... Use a letter , B it is a breakfast.
Easy to notice letter , B. Don't spelling breakfast.
Sec 3 , use a letter b ( eating) basic you need to learn practice sign languages. Deaf people can see word
Now i wanna know what the not nice sign the looks like breakfast is!
The b word
could you show the sign for ".com" please? i never see the "dot" part when people sign! thanks!!
Sure thing, adding that to my list :) for now: you basically just use your index finger to mimic placing a dot in the air. (And then follow it up with fingerspelled COM, or quickly "CM".) Hope that helps!
ASLMeredith thank you!
Sentences at 6:34
What does fish mean in asl?
First comment👍👍👍💖 Thanks!!!
You are ON IT!
@@ASLMeredith yes I love sign language and also thanks
Can you show something like subtitles?
You are great! But you are doing the same sign over-and-over again, just once or twice is good. Thx!
Thanks for the feedback! Ultimately, everyone has different feelings about this. Some people LOVE the extra repetition, others want quicker. I try to please everyone, and it ends up varying across videos. I'll keep doing my best!
@@ASLMeredith okay thanks! I understand completely! 😊
🙂🤟
Does it matter which hand we use? I dont want to signal something different.
Hi there! The answer is... yes and no :) This video answers your question: ruclips.net/video/7aUa50q0GcE/видео.html and it's explained in depth (in text) in my free beginner FAQs: aslmeredith.com/faq
@@ASLMeredith Thank you!
Sorry I just saw it
Thank you
:)
The ASL translation is the best way for me to learn it. The English translation is what throws me off.
Agreed! That's why I broke down the ASL separately in the email newsletter/PDF that accompanies this video :)
🤔😀😇👍👍👍
I'm here to teach myself sign for working in a drive thru I always feel Terrible not being able to communicate and help
So great that you're learning to better communicate with your customers! Keep up the good work
@@ASLMeredith I actually got to use the skills today, with a deaf family
@@jordanrousseau321 That's so great, Jordan! Thank you for sharing!
holle ... I am a state from Malaysia, I want to ask you to learn sign language from the United States
That's great! I do teach ASL here.
Meredith, you are so pretty.
I think the "1 of the signs not being nice" is b**** . 😂 And it's because mom and girl is towards the mouth so the sign is to the side of the face for B**** . 😂
Just learnt how to say bitch😝😂😂 pull out that B fam
It's like Hula...." keep your eyes on the hands ".
Ah :) actually, keep your eyes on the eyes! Many beginners do think they need to look at the hands, but in signed conversation, eye contact is SO important!
I'm so hungry I could eat a horse 🐎
Fun to say idiomatic things I imagine. Typical of how I speak
God no wonder the video is so long you spend two minutes signing dinner
This is a beginner-level video, and most of the video (from 5:18 onward) is spent on practice sentences that work with the accompanied PDF guide. If you wanted a short version, there's an under-4 minute video teaching the meal signs here: ruclips.net/video/S9Y2QeUrJeM/видео.html
