How do you sign “Here” in ASL?
HERE: HERE in American Sign Language (ASL) points to this place, the spot where the conversation is happening. More than one form of the sign is in use, and every variation is shown on this page. The video and GIF below demonstrate the sign.
HERE — variant 2
When do you use the sign HERE?
HERE does location work all day: come here, sign here, the meeting is here. Location words are the scaffolding of ASL’s spatial grammar, and this one is as concrete as they come. Giving and following directions is where students meet it first.
It appears in Lesson 4 of Book 1, in the very first stretch of the challenge.
