This tiktoker shared some simple ASL for people to know to help deaf/hoh people communicate their needs while everyone is wearing masks !
Reminder that facial expressions/head shaking is very important in ASL!!!
For example, when you sign, "I don't understand," BE SURE to shake your head no. Otherwise, you are saying the opposite. This is because ASL is NOT a picture version of English. It's its own language with its own grammar structure.
Be safe!
