Hi!! :) I know this video is a little too fast for some of you and I’m so sorry about that!! Will try to slow down in the next lesson video!! ;-) If you use Instagram on a daily basis, you should come join us on Instagram!! :) I teach a sign or two almost everyday!! @SignedWithHeart

** Quick 411 **
There are a few different American Sign Language (ASL) variations for “what”, “who”, and “why”. I only showed one of each. I will show other variations later. Also, I will film a video soon explaining more about the whole eyebrows thing. Basically, you lower your eyebrows when asking a WH-question (including HOW) and then you raise your eyebrows when asking a “Do you…” question (questions that you’re expecting either a yes or no response). Also, the sign for “learn”, if you sign it just once then it means “learn” (I want to learn sign language) but if you want to say you are currently learning, emphasis on the “ing”, then signing “learn” twice will show that you’re currently learning. Hope this quick 411 helps!! :)
