You Learned the ASL Alphabet Wrong!




You Learned the ASL Alphabet Wrong!

You probably learned the ASL alphabet WRONG!

Well, it’s not your fault and I’m here to make it right.

Most people learn the ASL alphabet as they did the English Alphabet. BUT… ASL is a different language and should be learned as such.

In part 1 we learned the right way to fingerspell starting with fist shape letters. These are the toughest to recognize and they are the most common. Fist shapes contain 4 of the 5 vowels, therefore, we start with these as they are essential.

In part 2 we learned the UP shapes. With fist shapes and up shapes, you can spell most words. These are very easy to identify because they stick straight up and have unique handshapes.

In part 3 we learned down and horizontal shapes. Similar to up letters, down and horizontal letters have a unique handshapes and are easy to identify. With only 2 letters left, your fingerspelling skills should be taking off!

In part 4 we learned the final 2 letters… the moving letters. Learning how to produce moving letters is the challenge here but once you get it, you got it!

This completes the entire alphabet. If you learned this step by step, not only do you know the entire alphabet but you are starting to develop real fingerspelling skills not just A, B, C, D…

In part 5… what else is there to learn? DOUBLE LETTERS!

We take it step by step to really learn to identify and perform each letter correctly before learning more letters.
