Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, it's really
nice to meet you, my name is Sunmi. In this video I'm going to be learning the
American Sign Language alphabets. So to be very honest I've already learned the
ASL ABCs before but I forgot, so in this video I'm actually going to be
re-learning it, maybe that would mean I'll actually be fast at picking it up this
time. Let's get into it.
To start off I decided that I'll try and link every sign with something I know
for example A-looks like an Apple, B-butting into conversations. C is pretty
simple I think, D-dad schooling you and like. E- looks like an e. Some signs were very
easy to find links for. J is the best, you actually literally just spell it. K
I guess it looks like a K. Loser so L. O- so you can see the O. You can see the V so V.
W. Z is the best, Z and J or "Zed" and J, I don't know. They are the best because Z is just (spells with fingers), yeah.
But for some signs, I had to get a bit more creative.
F. I kind of like F, because it's kind of like fine, fine.
I guess for G so you start off like this. I can think of like grain, so like really tiny, and then you turn it.
H, maybe like handgun. Oh no that got
dark but yeah handgun. R- I think I'm going to think of it as like, I really
want something so like crossing my fingers and hoping I get it
So this S. My short name Sunmi starts with an S so I guess it's like Sunmi
rules, so Sunmi. It will be so sad if I ever forget this because it's like does Sunmi
not rule? T- actually she said something, she gave an analogy which I do like,
she said it's almost like a turtle is peaking between your two fingers
so that is what I'll probably use. However, some signs such as the one for the letter x
were actually a little bit difficult for me to find a link for. So this is X
this looks like a hook so I would have thought it would be like [h or k].
AH! What word starts with X?
(Music Playing)
So I've been thinking very hard about how I can remember that this is an X.
The closest thing I have now is to examine something. So like you are scanning
with your finger I guess. I don't know if that's a good one but maybe I would remember
because it's so bad, yeah, X. After making the associations, I then decided to
revise a few more times and practice the signs. So A, B,C
X, Y, and Z.
I did realize though that there was a chance I only knew the signs in the
order of the alphabets, so I decided to use a random letter generator to
practice. I'll get a random letter and have to produce the sign for the letter
A, B, P,
And finally just to be completely sure that I knew my signs, I decided to have
my roommate test me. Spell Argentina.
The second word is Spanish.
And the last word is Bangladesh.
Thank you! Okay so yeah I think I learned ASL ABCs. So thank you so much for
watching, if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up, don't forget to

I post a video. And if you have any other ideas for me or things you would like me
to learn, please comment it down below. I'm thinking that every other week I'll
be learning ASL but in between that I'm going to learn something fun,
something random, something that I really want to do. And in the next video I'm
thinking that I would learn how to write with my non-dominant hand which is my
right hand. So yeah we'll see! Thank you for watching!
