It’s time for another edition of our American Sign Language lesson videos! This time, we’re learning about common opposite pairs in ASL.

One of the great things about learning ASL is that you can skip spelling and pronunciation and go straight to comprehension. When you look at ASL opposite pairs, you can kind of naturally “see” how they relate. Often, if you learn one word, you may be able to guess how to sign a word with the opposite meaning.

In today’s lesson, we cover the signs for the following opposite word pairs:

  • hot/cold
  • up/down
  • big/small
  • tall/short
  • old/young
  • happy/sad
  • in/out
  • angry/calm
  • smart/dumb
  • open/closed
  • near/far

Get a primer on ASL opposite words with Lesson 7 below! And don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to see all of our ASL video lessons!
