Let’s us start
Basic Signing.
Basic Sign Language
Place both open hands in front of your chest, palms facing in, fingers pointing up. Turn your hands with a quick movement to end with your palms facing out.
Both hands form the A handshape (make a flat fist, thumb rests alongside the bent index finger), palms facing in. Place on each side of the chest andmove up and down with a short, double movement. Think of washing yourself.
Bend your arms and place one on top of the other, palms facing up, and move from side to side two times. It looks just like you are rocking a baby in you arms.
Hold your hands in front of you, palms facing each other and fingers apart. Curve your fingers and tap your fingertips and thumbs together twice. Imagine holding a ball in your hands.
Cross your arms over your chest, hands curved. With a double movement, gently scratch your fingers up and down near your shoulders. Imagine a bear scratching itself.
Rest your head on your hands, palms together, fingers closed. This sign can also be done with one hand: head rests on open palm. It's like you're laying your head on a pillow.
Both hands form the L handshape by bending the middle, index, and pinky fingers into the palms and extending the thumb and index fingers. Start with one L hand at your forehead and bring it down in front of you, placing it on the top of your other L hand.
Tap the thumb of your open hand on your forehead two times. This sign can also be done by placing the thumb of your open hand on your forehead and wiggling your fingers.
With your open hand near your cheek, palm facing left, pinch your thumb and index finger together and move it toward your ear. Repeat motion, opening and closing your thumb and index finger each time. Imagine stroking the whiskers of a cat.
With the middle and index fingers of each hand pointing down, tap the thumbs with a double movement near each side of the waist. Think of the location of the tabs or pins on a diaper.
Pat the side of your upper thigh then snap your fingers. The sign is also often done by patting the thigh with a double movement or just snapping the fingers. It's a natural gesture for calling a dog.
Form your hand into a flattened O shape, fingertips facing toward you. Bring your hand to your mouth with a single movement. Imagine putting food in your mouth.
Brush the thumb of your flattened fist, palm facing left, down the cheek with a double movement.
Place the thumb of your open hand, palm facing left, on your chin and bounce it outward in an arc twice. Represents two generations.

With both hands in front of your body, place the pinky finger side of a flattened fist on top of the other hand, palm flat and facing up. Raise both hands up at the same time. It looks as if the flat hand is helping to lift the other one up.

Sign can also be done by tapping the tips of the index fingers together twice. Make the sign near the location of the pain to show where it hurts.
First make the sign for I or ME by pointing your extended index finger toward yourself. Next make the sign for LOVE (shown above), then make the sign for YOU by pointing your extended index finger in the direction of the person you are referring to.
Cross both hands in front of your heart, palms facing toward you. The sign is often made with the hands closed in fists, either flat or with the thumb lying on top of the closed fingers, but can also be done with the hands open as well.
I Love You Acronym

POLITE GREETINGS AND OCCASIONS
"I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus-- the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man. "
"Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people."
"Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others’ lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare."
