Are you new to learning sign language? This video is going to be just want you need to hear. While I was doing a different video on location at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for ASL Basics, I met up with Courtney Hall, who works there at the zoo and is herself learning sign language. We did an interview with her and I share my 3 biggest takeaways from that interview with beginners in mind. I know how extremely difficult it can be to learn a language at times. So that is why I wanted to offer some advice and encouragement to those going through the difficult process of learning another language. Additionally, these 3 tips are not sign language specific. You could use them to help you or someone you know to learn any language.
If you would like to skip the interview and go straight to the tips, you can utilize the time stamps below. Please share this video with anyone you know that is currently trying to learn a foreign language.

What was your biggest takeaway from today's video?
The biggest takeaway for me is that if I want to consolidate what I’m learning then I really need to find folks to practice with and be willing to make mistakes as it’s an integral part of learning.
@@jamesdavis-ford6882 That is a great takeaway! Getting friends and family involved is a great start 🙂
I want to learn ASL for 2 reasons:
1) run into people occasionally that communicate with ASL.
2) And my main reason for wanting to learn ASL. And that is that I am developing hearing loss. And while I can still hear well enough for people like you to tell me what the word is that your signing. I want to learn so I have all the communicational advantages I can have just encase I do lose my hearing enough. Thank you for the videos.
My father in law ended up doing the same thing. He started to lose his hearing about 10 years ago and decided to start learning sign language while he could still hear. How has learning the language been for you so far?
Never really thought about hearing loss, but ASL would definitely help just in case!
Oh.. I did recently join a Deaf Sunday school, not only does this help my interaction and receptive skills but now I have learned a lot of religious signs too. I suggest others to be look for the same in their areas. To me, immersion is the key
Absolutely, immersion is key and you'll be learning many new signs along the way
My biggest takeaway from this video is to not be discouraged with the language you are learning and to keep pushing forward at it 🤟👏
Couldn't have said it better myself 👍
Love your videos especially because of your appropriate slower speed for a new ASL language learner! I am a retired special education teacher and university teaching methods instructor and have always been passionate about learning ASL. However, teaching full time while married and raising 3 children kept me extremely busy to be able to take time for my passion! Now that I'm retired, I have been spending hours a day practicing ASL on line as well as attending an ASL club led by a deaf woman. We are not permitted to talk in an effort to immerse ourselves in the language. However, as you pointed out, this process is very frustrating for she signs quickly and my recall of my signs frustrates me. Your suggestions have inspired me and I am determined to succeed! I have been trying to find someone who is deaf that would practice with me, but have not succeeded yet! As you pointed out, repetition and practice are key to learning! As a matter of fact, there is much research out there to support those key aspects of learning. I am going to incorporate your videos into my daily review. Thank you so much for your inspirational videos and method of teaching and encouraging ASL learners! Barb A
Thanks so much, I'm glad that you are able to have the time now to pursue you're passion and that you making it happen!
Thank you for these videos we really enjoy them. My husband and I started learning sign language when my husband started loosing his hearing. We have been able to learn sign even though we’re not youngsters. Anyone can do it. Keep the videos coming, great job.
That is great! My parents learned sign language in their 50s, so it is definitely never too late to learn. Thanks for being an inspiration to others 😃
Thank you so much for this Channel Chris! Before my father passed away from a brain tumor when I was a child he lost his speech and my mother started teaching my sister and I ASL. Unfortunately, he passed away before we could fully learn the language but I'm now diving back into ASL and I'm excited to be of service. I'm so happy I came across your videos! They are extremely helpful.
So sorry to hear that your father passed away. I am glad that you are finding my videos helpful and that you are diving back into the language!
I work in an optometrist office and we have a few staff who can sign, one of them is one of our eye doctors, who is the owner’s son. Owner is also an eye doctor. Anyways she has a friend who teaches ASL. So once a week, during COVID, we have a Zoom class. When we first started, it was pre -COVID and we only got one class in before lockdown. So we started classes again using Zoom. One of the reasons for learning. ASL is to learn signs relative to our line of work. When we first got started earlier this year and when I started discovering some UA-cam videos teaching ASL, I very excited to watch and learn! I have to say I didn’t come upon your videos until just a few weeks ago when we started class again. I first saw Bill Vicars’ videos and enjoyed them very much! And when I saw yours, I shared with my group because it’s more of what we needed for the basics. So thank you! I’m learning a lot from your videos!
Wow, I"m glad that you are learning so much, Bill Vicars is an incredible resources too
I play Santa Claus for the kids and I want to learn ASL for the deaf community . Thank you so much for your videos
My reason for learning how to sign is because I am an auto insurance agent, and I have about 5 deaf mute customers, and I get really frustrated that I cannot communicate with them. Also, I'm sure they get very frustrated themselves that we cannot understand them. So to me, it is very important that I learn to be able to communicate with them and make them feel a little better knowing that I actually was able to understand and reply to them. So thank you very much for your videos.
Silvia Ruiz Wow, that is awesome that you are learning ASL for your customers. I’m glad that my videos are helping you out, let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to cover in future videos
Great video. Awesome for Zoo Lady employee. Excellent Zoo having someone like her.Thank you for having her in video. It helps us Deaf to know where to go.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the interview with Courtney. Have you found anywhere that is really accessible for the deaf in California? Perhaps I could check it out and bring more attention to the importance of making businesses and destinations more inclusive of those that are deaf
Im learning because my voice is just so incredibly quiet, i have to repeat myself so many times everytime i speak at this point im hoping to just use asl instead, for the most part. thanks for the tips!!
Thank you very much for this interview video. My main reason to wanting to learn ASL is to help people in my community. You see, I’m a Jehovah witness and one of my main goal is to help people understand the Bible and help them learn the truth on their own. With this pandemic a lot of people don’t know why things are happening and they ask them self if somehow is connected to the Bible,specially the deaf community. But sadly the religious leaders are so concerned about how they goin to get the next pay check that they not even calling their members to encourage them to remain calm and trust in God.
I love all of your videos but sadly I can’t afford to pay for the lessons. We Jehovah’s witnesses don’t get pay to teach the Bible. Thank very much for your contributions to to help people like me, so I can help others as well.
May Jehovah bless you and your family, and may he bless all of your wonderful desires to help people like us. Stay safe
Thanks for sharing
my main reason is because im going to school to learn ASL. Plus I have met a girl who is deaf and we are only writing through text. But I like her alot and want to be able to communicate with her with her language. She teaches also but I would much rather have a tutor that I can work with alot more
That's great!
My biggest reason why I want to learn this language is because of those reason that she had said too! I love to be able to communicate with a wider variety of people and learning a language is great! I want to do more research on career opportunities in interpreting. I am only in ASL 1 in college so I'm at the beginning stage of this path and am really excited to continue to learn more and hope i get to be fluent soon! Thanks for these videos, they're really educational and you are a kind hearted person to be sharing your knowledge! Thank you once again!
That is great! Keep it up, there are a ton of opportunities that unlock when you learn the language, such as interpreting, DHH teachers, advocacy, and others. Let me know if you would ever like to chat about or get in a little practice one-on-one calendly.com/aslbasics/consultation
Hi Chris, first of all i wanted to tell you that i honestly find your videos so beneficial, it's been 2 weeks that i'm studying sign language, and thanks to you, i'm admiring the progress that i made so far! i wanted to study sign language because i think it's for a good cause, to let people who are deaf, autistic, or others feel included and not left out. And i was also curious to learn about it and get to know more and more. So, thank you for making it easier, fun and interactive. Best wishes.
Thanks, I'm glad that you are really enjoying the process so far and I hope you continue your learning journey
she is awesome!!
I work at a hospital while going to school to become a physical therapist assistant. I figured it would be helpful learning ASL working in the medical field. And, I was curious if there were anyone else interested in being an ASL study practice partner. With the pandemic in our country, our school has shut down. I try practicing in the mirror, but I feel the interaction and feedback would be extremely helpful. Whether Skype, Zoom, Facetime, or any other video conferencing app, I'm sure that there is someone else who could benefit from having a practice partner.
It is great to hear that you are leaning ASL and going into the medical field. In regard to practice partners, due to the pandemic, I am going to set up weekly group practice sessions for all students that are interested in joining. I'm working on getting everything set up so I can start April 1st. Go ahead and send me an email at chris@aslbasics.com and I'll send you a Zoom link. The first group session will be this Wednesday 5pm Pacific time.
Just found you. Loved this video from someone who is just starting. Cheers!
Thanks! Glad you decided to start learning sign
I am a senior but I love learning and a challenge. Gramma Candy
That's great!
Practice, practice, practice ✌️
Yep! 🤛
Practice, practice practice... only hard thing I have experienced is in my area not a large deaf community, so no Deaf clubs or activities.. Louisville is about 30 miles so there I can go.. In Tulsa there is Happy Hands childcare, but I've found nothing here to get involved in outside of school and all..
That does make it tough. Have you tried convincing any of your friends or family to learn sign with you?
@@ChrisGorges trying slowly to encourage the wife
@@jonschmitz8089 Keep chipping away, I'm sure she'll support you 😉
I took ASL class because I fell in love with a deaf girl.... it's very hard for me to understand her, I'm hard of hearing. I've heard that couples who are deaf and a hard of hearing say it's not easy to understand one another and wind up breaking up
I'm putting all my efforts to make sure my girlfriend is happy
That is great that you are learning sign for your girlfriend, the relationship can be hard at first, but I know several deaf/hearing couples. Keep up the great work!
cool video , keep going i am sure you will become a big youtuber :)))
Thanks, I appreciate that, glad you liked the video 👍
