Hello, everyone!
I'm only making this post for users who might want to learn about ASL! ASL stands for America Sign Language. Most deaf people take ASL and Sometimes hearing people take ASL if they want to learn it too. How to communicate in ASL? You use your arms, hands and fingers, also they needs to be movement, handshape and facial expression! Then that would show up you're using ASL. Today, I'm going to teach some users who want to learn how to say A to Z in ASL with using only one hand! Also, it's similar to fingerspelling! Oh, what's fingerspelling? Well, it's how you say letters in using fingers in ASL with hand. It is FUN to learn ASL! Starting with A to Z in using ASL with hand! Good luck and enjoy your learning about ASL!
A: Make a fist and then move your thumb over to the side of your hand.
B. Put your fingers all straight up and touching and then bend your thumb over your palm.
C. Curl your hands so it looks to you like a backwards "C".
D. Touch your thumb and every finger but your index finger, which should point straight up.
E. Start with a "B" hand. Bend your four fingers down so that the tips just touch your thumb. Be sure to pull it in so that it does not resemble an "O".
F. Touch your index finger and thumb together and put the rest of your fingers up-- pulled together. This is often confused with "D" which is the opposite.
G: Stick out your thumb and index finger about a centimeter apart and hold it sideways.
H. Make a "G" and stick out your middle finger alongside of your index finger. Your palm faces yourself.
I. Stick your pinkie straight up.
J. Stick out your pinkie and twist inward in the shape of a "J".
K. Put your middle and index finger up, and put your thumb on your forefinger.
L. Make an "L" with your thumb and index finger.
M. Point your fore-, middle, and ring fingers forward. Place the thumb beneath them.
N. Point your forefinger and your middle finger forward. Place the thumb beneath them.
O. Make an "O" with your fingers.
P. Make a downwards-pointing "K".
Q. Point a "G" downwards.
R. Cross your middle finger over your index finger.
S. Make a fist and put your thumb on top of your fingers. This is often confused with "A" so pay careful attention to the thumb position.
T. Make a fist and put your thumb between your middle finger and index finger.
U. Orient your middle finger and your index finger upwards together.
V. Make a "U", and separate the fingers.
W. To a "V", add an upwards ring finger-- all fanned out.
X. Make a fist and then raise and crook your index finger.
Y. Stick out your pinkie and thumb.
Z. Make a "Z", as you would write it, with your index finger.
That's all how you say alphabet using asl! Also, I want to know if you would like to learn this asl. It has combination of three letters in ASLs! 1st is I, 2nd is L, 3rd is Y. Those three letters being combined would be called "I love you"! I hope you learn ASL from my helpful post!
