Learning the SignsA translation of the dialog to ASL is shown below. Sometimes, there is only one way that something can be translated from English to ASL. But often, there can be several ways for an English sentence to be translated to ASL. The translations in each of these lessons are common ones and you are likely to encounter them in everyday ASL conversations. As you become fluent in ASL, you will be able to sign sentences in many different ways. An explanation of the translation is shown in the section "Creating Sentences." Click the words in the ASL translation below to view the signs on the right. Some signs have more than one variation. When you view a sign, variations are listed below the sign. Click on the variations to view it. When you encounter a sign that you do not know, practice the sign several times before continuing.
