June Emergency Phrases · Episode 8
Flat hand sweeps down and chops onto your open palm. One motion. Unmistakable.
That's STOP in ASL.
Open-B dominant hand, palm down — raised to the side. Open-B non-dominant hand, palm up — held flat and steady.
Dominant hand drives blade-edge down onto that flat palm. Lands perpendicular. The T-shape says it all.
How to practice it:
Hold your left hand flat in front of you, palm up. Bring your right hand in from the side, palm facing down. Chop it down sharply — right-hand blade-edge on your left palm. Keep both hands in open-B throughout. No curling fingers.
Use it in a real situation:
"Please STOP — I need help."
This phrase pairs naturally with HELP (which you already know from Episode 1). Combining two signs turns a single word into a full message.
Swipe through the 4-card set:
  1. Starting Handshape — open-B raised and ready
  2. Motion — the chop in progress
  3. Ending Handshape — the T locked in place
  4. Usage — a real-world sentence
