Hey signers, in this video we are learning 25 signs around the home. It is our hope
that you are loving learning all about ASL while relaxing in your own home. If so, we would really
appreciate you liking this video and subscribing to our channel so we can reach even more people
in their homes. This video is made possible by our sponsor for today Skillshare, more on them
later. Now let's learn how to sign home signs. Here is a quick mini lesson before we begin.
If you are giving directions within your home, you can follow what we call signer's perspective.
This is giving directions how you see it. So for instance, if I was saying my bedroom was down the
hallway on the left. I am going to sign hallway and then the bedroom and point over to my left.
As you can see, I'm pointing to the left side of the hallway. Then you as the person receiving the
information would flip it in your brain and see that I am pointing to the left of the hallway.
Now that you have a basic understanding of signer's perspective, let's get to the vocabulary.
'House', 'house', make the roof and the walls of the house, 'house'.
'Home', 'home'
it's a flat O going across the side of your face, 'home'.
'Door' 'door', your dominant hand is moving back and forth while you're non-dominant stay still, 'door'. 'Foyer',
'foyer', you fingerspell f o y e r, 'foyer'. 'Living room' or 'living room', it's the
letter L on your chest or the sign for formal room, 'living room', or 'living room'. 'Kitchen',
'kitchen', or 'kitchen', it's like the sign for cook but with the K or a shaking K or cook room,
'kitchen', 'kitchen' or 'kitchen'. 'Pantry', 'pantry', it's a sign 'food and room' together, 'pantry'. 'Dining room',
'dining room', it's the sign 'eat and room' together
'dining room'. Since moving into our house, I have desperately wanted to fill it with plants. Now
for clarification I've never really had a green thumb but I was determined to fill it with some
life. I started off slow with a few plants I felt confident I could keep alive. Well, it's
a few months later. Here's plant number one, here's plant number two, and plant number three. It didn't
make it, so for Mother's Day my sweet husband and kids got me a humongous fiddly fig. The reality
of keeping this beautiful tree alive sunk in, so I turned straight to Skillshare and watched several
professionals teach me on how to care for it. I can now share with you that this fig is still thriving.
