How do you say I am new at this in sign language?

There isn't one single sign for "I am new at this" in American Sign Language (ASL). It's best conveyed by combining signs and facial expressions. Here's how you can express it:

1. Sign "NEW"

* How: Form the "N" handshape with your dominant hand, and tap it twice against your forehead.

* Facial Expression: A slight frown or furrowed brows can emphasize that you're inexperienced.

2. Sign "THIS" or "IT"

* How: Point to the activity or subject you're new at.

* Facial Expression: A curious or confused expression can help convey that you're learning.

3. Sign "LEARN"

* How: Make an "L" handshape and touch your chin.

* Facial Expression: A determined or hopeful look suggests you're eager to learn.

Putting it together:

* Sign "NEW" with a slight frown, then point to the activity with "THIS" or "IT" while looking a little confused. Finish with "LEARN" while looking hopeful.

Example:

If you're new at baking, you might:

1. Sign "NEW" (with a frown)

2. Point to a cake with "THIS" (while looking confused)

3. Sign "LEARN" (with a hopeful look)

Important Notes:

* Context matters: The specific signs you use can vary depending on the situation and what you want to emphasize.

* Facial expressions are crucial: In ASL, facial expressions convey a lot of meaning. Be sure to use appropriate expressions to convey your meaning.

Remember, practicing with a deaf ASL teacher or tutor is the best way to learn and refine your signing skills.
