As A Child, What Was Your FIRST Sign Language?

My parents taught me ASL since i was born.

at about 11 month old, my first sign is "BUTTERFLY"

few weeks later, i sign more words and some sentences.

I didnt sign "mom" or "dad" until much later.:thumb:

:lol: I never remembered my first "sign" and I've never asked my mother. She explained to me that she'd used "baby signs" (or "baby talk") with me before I'd used ASL. She'd told me the baby sign for "water" and, yep, my memories clicked with that sign.

As for this thread, my first language is American Sign Language. Thanks be to God for my early language development.
 
I didn't spoke or sign much much later until age of 3 but my first sign was mama. I was taught by Specialist.
 
My first sign was "apple." I was four years old - and my teacher at the deaf school taught me the word "apple" because I wanted it but he refused to give it to me until I signed it.
 
I don't remember what my first sign language was. I didn't sign until I was 5 years old.
 
I didn't speak or sign until I was 3. I went to Pre-School for the hearing impaired. I was first time to learn sign ABC and "water"
 
i was 1 yr old. it was my first word is amaamak means "mummy and breastfeed" in inuktitut word and i signs amaamak in Inuk sign languages like "hand in breast" means mother/mum

lol
 
I think my first sign word was "food", a closed flat-hand or something. I don't remember, really... ^^;
 
My first word was "mama" only I pronounced it "ama". I was 3 years old at the time.

I think my first sign was ILY or the xmas song "let there be peace on earth".

I don't remember what my first sign language was. I was already talking for almost 5 years before I started signing.
 
Didnt know any signs growing up. :(
 
My oldest child's first sign was "milk". My second child's first sign was the "I love you" sign. My youngest child's first sign was "Daddy".

My first sign language was ASL. I didn't begin using SEE until much later in life. My first signs were "water" and "milk." Even as a toddler, I had a severe drinking problem, heh heh. Before I began kintergarten, I'd learned the entire fingerspell alphabet and numbers to ten.
