Another great word to learn as a beginner in sign language. This sign is similar to the hearing sign (not the ASL sign) for showing hunger when you rub your belly but at the chest level instead of at the stomach.

Just as with verbal language, intonation (in ASL, this would be facial expression) is vital. When signing "please," your facial expression should match the politeness or earnestness of the request.

Learning to sign is a great start. For the moments that have to be right (a medical appointment, a parent-teacher meeting, a legal conversation) Ava connects you with a credentialed ASL interpreter over video in the Ava app, on demand or scheduled ahead. Available 24/7, with live captions included.
