How to Sign “Homework” in Sign Language

This sign is a compound of the words “home” and “work.” If you are talking about a specific assignment or project, those are different signs.

Signing “Home”

• Hand shape: Form your dominant hand into a bent “O” handshape.
• Hand location: Start with your hand on the side of your face, close to your mouth.
• Movement: Move your hand from your mouth to the top of your cheek.
• Facial expression: Keep a neutral facial expression.

Signing “Work”

• Hand shape: Both hands should be in a fist shape (also known as "S" handshape), with your thumbs resting against the front side of your fingers.
• Hand location: Place your hands in front of you. Make sure your non-dominant hand is facing palm-down. Your dominant hand should be facing outward, so that your wrist touches the top of your non-dominant hand.
• Movement: Use your dominant fist to tap on top of your non-dominant fist a few times at the wrist area.

This sign is done by signing "home" and then "work". However, in this instance "home" is signed by only pressing your hand on your face once instead of twice.

HOME: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "home"   The sign for "home" has a few different versions.  If you mean "home" as in "domicile" (or a fairly permanent residence) a fairly common version is made by bringing your fingers and thumb together and touching your cheek near the side of your mouth. Then move your hand an inch or two toward your ear and touch your cheek again.         HOME: "HOME" (animated gif)       Some people do the sign HOME starting near their EAR and moving near the MOUTH:   HOME-[ear-to-mouth-version] (animated gif)     There is another very common version of home that only makes "one" contact on the cheek. This version is done in the middle of the cheek (not near the mouth or ear) and typically shows up in  compound-signs such as "homework" or "homemade."  For example, see "homework" below.  Notice how it only contacts or comes near the cheek once and then moves straight into a single-contact version of work. HOMEWORK:   Animation: "homework"    HOMERUN: If you mean "home" as in "to score a homerun" un baseball, then just spell "HR" in an enthusiastic manner.     Notes:  If you do the sign HOME using a "D" handshape it means " dorm ." Also see: HOUSE Also see: HOMEWORK   Memory aid: Think of "home" as being the place where you eat and sleep . However note that the sign for home isn't done directly on the mouth.  Rather -- it is done on the cheek.   *  Want to help support ASL University?  It's easy :  DONATE   ( Thanks! ) *  Another way to help is to buy something from Dr. Bill's " Bookstore ." *  Want even more ASL resources?  Visit the " ASL Training Center !

How to sign “do”?

I’m working on a homework assignment for ASL 201 and need to say “sure thing, on the condition that I do my homework first, then I’ll show you”. I have most of it down and I know how to say homework, just not sure how I would sign “do” as in like to actively work on my homework. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

DO in sign language

How to sign "do" in American Sign Language (ASL)?

Meaning: Perform (an action, the precise nature of which is often unspecified).

E.g. "something must be done about..." MUST #DO SOMETHING.

"What are you doing?" YOU DO++? "What will you plan to do this weekend?" IX-this WEEKEND/\ YOU PLAN DO++?

One-handed (informal) and two-handed (formal) signs may be interchangeable.

Meaning: to execute (a piece or amount of work).

E.g. "He has been doing a lot of work." SINCE IX1 DO+++ LOT WORK.

" Do -- Hold the bent hands out in front from the sides, fingers pointing downward; move the hands first to one side and then to the other, giving them a slight downward pressure as they start toward the side. The fingers may be slightly separated as in the bent '5' hands, as in playing the keys of a piano." (1910) Ref

"Deaf people can do anything hearing people can, except hear." -- Frederick C. Schreibert (1922-1979), American Deaf advocate and leader. [Ref]

~~ Feeling lucky? ¯\__(°_o)__/¯ Random Word ~~

Search/Filter : Enter a keyword in the filter/search box to see a list of available words with the "All" selection. Click on the page number if needed. Click on the blue link to look up the word. For best result, enter a partial word to see variations of the word.

Alphabetical letters : It's useful for 1) a single-letter word (such as A, B, etc.) and 2) very short words (e.g. "to", "he", etc.) to narrow down the words and pages in the list.

For best result, enter a short word in the search box, then select the alphetical letter (and page number if needed), and click on the blue link.

Don't forget to click "All" back when you search another word with a different initial letter.

If you cannot find (perhaps overlook) a word but you can still see a list of links, then keep looking until the links disappear! Sharpening your eye or maybe refine your alphabetical index skill. :)

Add a Word : This dictionary is not exhaustive; ASL signs are constantly added to the dictionary. If you don't find a word/sign, you can send your request (only if a single link doesn't show in the result).

Videos : The first video may be NOT the answer you're looking for. There are several signs for different meanings, contexts, and/or variations. Browsing all the way down to the next search box is highly recommended.

Video speed : Signing too fast in the videos? See HELP in the footer.

ASL has its own grammar and structure in sentences that works differently from English. For plurals, verb inflections, word order, etc., learn grammar in the "ASL Learn" section. For search in the dictionary, use the present-time verbs and base words. If you look for "said", look up the word "say". Likewise, if you look for an adjective word, try the noun or vice versa. E.g. The ASL signs for French and France are the same. If you look for a plural word, use a singular word.
