I am trying to learn numbers in ASL.  Can you help me with some tricks
for learning numbers and what is the '25 shortcut'?

Howdy anniepannie-ga,

Here is what appears to be a very good resource for what you seek, including
a discussion of "shorthand" for signing the number 25.
http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/numbersdiscussion.htm

"[25] looks like the number 5 with the middle finger fluttering up and down
a few times."

Note that near the top there are links to pictured examples of how to sign
numbers, including this one that shows an animated example for "25."

If the above will do as an answer, please tell me so I can post it as such.

Thanks!  denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher
