Hello! Today, I'll show you the signs for meals -- MEAL, MEAL or MEAL.
BREAKFAST
LUNCH
DINNER
BREAKFAST, LUNCH and DINNER Variations.
For lunch and dinner, you may see these initialized signs:
An L for LUNCH
Or dinner -- a "D". DINNER.
Breakfast, you may also see signed as BREAKFAST.
I suggest using the compound sign BREAKFAST,
because the initialized sign looks very similar to a few
different signs, one of which isn't very nice.
Beginners? Better to use BREAKFAST, LUNCH, and DINNER to be clear.
You may see BREAKFAST, LUNCH, and DINNER, too.
SNACK
DESSERT
Example Sentences

Now, the example sentences! Each sentence, I'll sign three times.
First: normal speed. Second: half speed.
Third beginner speed, with English support.
If you want, you can either turn on sound or used closed captions.
Or third, you can watch without English! Try to understand.
If you still don't, then rewind with closed captions.
And remember, each sentence, does it have *one* correct way to sign it?
No! There are many ways that you can sign these in ASL,
or translate into English, so keep that in mind.
