I agree, very few people have true passion for Sign Language & the Deaf. I learned my SL from my Deaf class mate & I discovered that the Deaf are the best teachers because you tend to sign without a chance to speak😄. So I became really good that other Deaf people thought I was also Deaf...I really love SL🙏🏼💖.

I'm learning this because i found out I'm going deaf at 13 years old Edit!!! I'm now 16 and I am doing just as well as I was maybe even better, since my hearing has deteriorated over the years this channel and many zoom classes later I have learned an extreme amount on communication skills within the signing, vibrations, and lip reading.

I like that you teach the variations as well. A lot of people who sign on a regular basis don't use formal sign language.

So when you learn sign language, it's always good to know all the other ways in which you might see it for recognition purposes.

My parents have a friend who know ASL. She’s completely hearing but she has deaf friends. But I was really caught up in the beauty of it and wanted to learn. She’s coming to visit and I’m excited to show her what I’ve learned! My dad also knows some sign language. But very minimal, his friend is fluent he just knows most starter signs and other things like dance/dancing or cat/kitten. Or dance you make a person with one hand and have a flat palm up with the other and you wiggle the person back and forth like they’re on a dance floor for dance. For kitten you make an f or in other words you touch you pointer finger and your thumb together and let your other fingers stand up. And then you touch your cheek with your thumb and finger together and basically draw a whisker like a cat.

I'm helping my friend learn ASL and this has helped a lot! Edit: Please remember that when signing "Thank you!" That your fingers do not go under your chin because that would be flipping someone off 😅

I'm hard of hearing and have signed for a good many years. No one in my family signs (I wear hearing aids so I do interact by speaking with my wife and children) and sometimes I wish they did, but since I can hear ok, it isn't on "their radar". You're a terrific instructor and I can see where someone would learn easily from you. On a side note, it has happened in past years where those of us who are not totally deaf nor do we hear 100% can find ourselves on the outside socially. Rarely, but some deaf don't readily accept us and hearing folks ( a few, not all) think either we must be shouted at or have minimal interactions with. I get it, some hearing people are trying to be kind they just don't know what to do.

Its really beautyful to see how a community manages to cummunicate through different languages and disabilitys. I hope that I'll be able to have some actual conversations in asl when I learned some more.

It really is so much different than other languages, and so much EASIER than I expected, it's not like learning a full language it's literally "signs" for things or actions rather than full sentences which I didnt realize

What inspired you to learn sign language? I am just curious if you had a need (to communicate with a parent or friend), or if there was another reason. I taught myself the ASL alphabet when I was about 9 or 10 from the dictionary, now I'm 54. I can't wait to learn more from your videos! Thank you : )

We have been learning how to communicate through signs, eye contact and facial expressions. This now gets to be my regular position! I am SOOOO EXCITED! I can't wait for school to start up again next month and I am using these few weeks off (summer break) to study up.

You're welcome :)

This video was a great help to me as I just wanted to start learning sign so this was an amazing tool for me to use!

you're an excellent teacher, but I can't see all of your hand movements because of the words on the screen. Sincerely hope you can address this.

Thank you, I will try to address the closed captions in future videos. However, a quick fix is to watch the video on desktop where you can adjust the size of the closed captions. Thanks for watching and for the feedback

My apologies, the captions can be tricky since they change sizes depending on each device. If you watch from desktop however, you can adjust the size of the captions. In future videos I will try adjusting the composition to compensate for the closed captions. Thanks for the feedback

You can also turn off captions to see it clearer

Thank you! I work retail and have run into a couple different customers who are deaf who no longer get the option to read lips. I know very small amounts of sign, but have realized i now desperately want to learn more.

I think this video deserves a lot more credit, he clearly spent a lot of effort into making this. This is the first video I have seen that has shortcuts to each word in the description.

You can also write it down here is how I did it *How are you?*: two fists like a brain then twist next point towards that person *fine*: 5 then put thumb on chest the slightly wave *good*: fingers on chin while other hand is flat in front of you. Bring other hand down to flat one *my name is*: hand flat on chest then two fingers (index and middle) on both hands cross over each other twice Where are you from? You-from-where. You, from: cross pull finger back. Where: pointer finger wave like telling a child no I am learning sign language: sign-language-I-learn. Language: cross pointer fingers, bull both fingers opposite directions. Slow: (I’m right handed so this is how I wrote it) Left hand out, right hand start at fingers and go up arm a little Stop: left palm face up right hand comes down sideways

That is actually pretty close, A can look similar to an S, the N is pretty close to T, and Y is a little similiar to Y. The name was Steve :)

I appreciate the work but words running down disrupt the viewing of signs

Thanks, I'll be sure to take that into consideration for future videos. The captions can be tricky since they show up in various sizes depending on the device being used. I appreciate the feedback 👍

this video is so helpful! I've been wanting to learn sign language for a while now, and since we've been in a pandemic for months, I thought that there's really no better time. I started trying to learn sign yesterday, and so far so good! even though I don't have a real need to know sign language right now, you never know if you'll need it in the future. And one of my friend's mom is an asl interpreter ( I think, its something to do with asl) and he speaks fluent asl (not speak, I don't really know how to word it) and since kindergarten, I've wanted to know sign language. Now I'm in 5th grade and finally starting to try learning it. Hopefully, it will go well!
