Learning a new language can be a very hard thing for people especially children, but artist Alex Solis has created a fun way to learn with [sign language doodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sign-for-your-supper). With making that hand gesture for each letter in the alphabet, Alex Solis has drawn a fun cartoon that works with the shape of the sign.

To enhance the learning experience, each drawing starts with the letter that is being signed. With a bear hugging your thumb in the B and cats napping on the arch of the C, children will have loads of fun when they are starting to [learn sign language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sign-language-translation). With the help of these doodles, children will be able to sign the alphabet in no time.
