UPDATES: New Look, New Pages!
I've updated the old ASLFL black, grey and red look and changed it to black, white, grey and blue! I think the new appearance gives it a fresh look.
More news, which is probably much more important to all of you, is that I've made new pages and updated the A Brief Page On Facial Expression page to include facial expression when marking the topic in a sentence.
The new pages include Role-Shifting, and Listing and Ranking/Birth Order.
Role-Shifting involves situations when you are discussing what you did for the day or for a day in the past, or what you have planned in the future. It's also important when telling a story!
Listing and Ranking/Birth Order is important when discussing family, perhaps your children and the ages they are at the time, as well as when you want to list things. In ASL, the word AND is not used. So, you would not say, "I love dogs and cats and birds." You would create a list using your hand, then list each one.
But, I don't believe I need to continue further on that in this post, because now you have a page to go to! Good luck and thanks for your support!

New Updates to ASL For Life Pages
Hello, everyone!
Note that there have been updates to the ASL for Life pages, particularly Questions in ASL and ASL Format: How it is Signed and Written. There have been changes and improvements made with inclusions of more information.
ASL is a constantly changing language. Note that some signs may always become old in the videos, and new signs arise. If a deaf or hard-of-hearing person shows you a new sign for something, be sure to use it and/or use that sign with that person due to their preferences!
