ASL Sign Library

Learn American Sign Language one sign at a time. Every sign has a short looping video, the steps to make it, and a sentence to use it in.

What ASL is

American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete language with its own grammar and vocabulary. It is the main language of many Deaf and hard of hearing people in the United States and parts of Canada.

You sign ASL with your hands, face and body. Facial expressions carry meaning and grammar, so watch the whole signer, not only the hands.

How to use the library

Pick a group below or open any sign. Play the video, slow it to half speed, and copy it. When you are ready, practice it in AISA School and get instant feedback on your signing.
