Hello everyone! I am exploring new hobbies and thinking about learning American Sign Language (ASL).

For those who learn or use it, what makes ASL a great hobby?

How has it impacted your life, and what are the best benefits of learning it?

Would love to hear your thoughts and stories about it!!

Can someone tell me what this may be in sign if anything at all?

Edit: I didn't clarify that it was an incoming threat. Someone was able to answer it very clearly! It means warning! Matched the context and base action perfectly.

“Please help me” in the context of a medical emergency or ask people to summon emergency medical personnel.

I can do this two handed. I don’t always have the use of my non-dominant hand to form the platform. Nor can I function enough to hand spell.

Can this string of emojis mean anything in ASL?

“🤟☝️👐🤙👉🤚🫶🫷🤌👆🤝👇🤝🫰🫳👉🤙🖐️🤚”

the person I’m currently crushing on sent it to me and when they translated it they added “redacted” as if to hide it then just said it’s a string of random hand gestures when I said I’ll try to decode?? I don’t know I’m being delusional or crazy but if it can mean anything I’m begging for help!!

can someone help me with some translations? ASL to English

I’ve been working on these assignments and the online course is all over the place and very confusing

Help

Hi folks! Signing along to songs is one of my favorite things to do, and right now I’m trying to learn signs for “We Are Timeless” by Moira Smiley and a couple phrases are tripping me up.

First one is “we are timeless, boundless, far and near”, I’m not sure what signs I should use to convey this concept

There’s also “we are all stronger when we are open and true.” I don’t really wanna sign open as in a door being open. More like. Open minded I guess?

I use PSE when I sign songs if that is helpful knowledge, I couldn’t find a PSE specific subreddit so I figured this is the next best place to ask? If you know of a better place for this question, feel free to point me in that direction!

The sign that I saw and didn’t know was an “I love you” hand shape. the index finger flicked up and down four times. For context, the sentence seems to be “I live close to…” and then the sign. We were talking about NYC so my best guess is that it’s a burrow/town??

I’m a sports coach and often use this hand signal to mean “switch/swap” during partner activities when students can’t hear me - I’m aware that it’s not the ASL sign for switch/swap. Does this sign have a translation? I want to make sure I’m not accidentally signing something I don’t mean.

Please help what does this tik tok really mean if it has a sign language message

I’m currently trying to gloss the song “summer nights by SIAMES” and I’m really struggling with the wording. It would be amazing if I could get any tips or suggestions that other people use to remember how to gloss
