What do these 2 signs mean??

1st sign: 4 fingers sweeping down the the cheek (side of face) and then meeting at the thumb (which is right at the jaw) (maybe repeated, maybe not)

2ns sign: Dominate middle finger reaching down and tapping twice the back of your closed fist. (the fingers and thumb of closed fist are facing down, back of fist is facing up)

It's from a conversation where someone is asking for directions to a classroom that they can't find. And the man being asked responds using these signs (among a couple others).

Thank you!

1st Sign: "Experience"

2nd Sign: "Touch" translation: "been to" (in ASL when you want to say you've been somewhere you sign "I've touched" the location.)(Often the sign is in conjunction with the sign "finish", as in "i've touch-finished that place")

    • Hi, I've been using sign since I was 15, and got rusty,so a few years ago saw it was being used more and more EVERYWHERE.. So I decided to start studying it again. **
    • Hey Cat, I've been studying sign language for a while now, off and on .I work with you at S.Oaks. This is Shannon .Your review sounds intersting.If you ever need help studying,let me know. Good luck on everything...
    • Greetings, at age 65, I lost my hearing in my right. I use a hearing aid also. My doctor recommended that I take an ASL course. I enrolled in a basic ASL course at my local Community College and discovered that I had a nack for signing. I live in the state of Maryland. My goal is to meet friends that can help me to improve my ASL skills. Thanks 😊
