I‘m a med student from Germany and instead of studying for my upcoming exam I‘m watching your videos to learn ASL now 😂 I recently watched the new Marvel movie with Lauren Ridloff in it and was so inspired to learn sign language - hopefully, it will someday be helpful to my patients as well :)
OMG same! I'm a medical student who started learning ASL because of Lauren Ridloff from the eternals movie. I met my first deaf patient 2 days ago and was able to sign a few things with him, It's so cool and so worth learning.
I sent my question before about this topic, thank you for making this video. I want to share with you that I am a EMS, and I am a First Aid & CPR instructor, recently I had some students and one of them was mute and deaf, I was studying your videos and I found this one no long ago, so I was practicing for a week on how to present my information. I was able to present my material in English, Spanish and ASL, he was the best student, he wanted to learn ,ore and was very exited that there was another person besides his brother that made the effort to communicate with him. For me it was the most humbling experience to understand how hard is the silent live of this extraordinary people, he made me feel so important and told me that he was happy and he learned a lot. I felt in my heart the need of learning ASL so I can help others, instruct others, and present my fight to others. I am Christian and I just came to realize how many people is not close to God because they haven’t been presented the gospel. May the Lord bless you and your family, your videos have made me a different person, I was able to help other people and I found a new purpose in my life. I will start with all of the videos I can get, and speak with my family including ASL signs so I can practice until I feel familiar with the language. Please keep doing this videos, I do appreciate you and your husband for the wonderful work you are doing. I love you class because you speak and I can understand better.
I have been HOH/deaf pretty much my entire life but was raised as a hearie. Now I'm 25 and learning ASL on my own because im tired of pretending that I am a hearing person when I never have been. Each one of these videos pulls me closer to myself. Thanks for all of your help.
I work in private security and have encountered many people in the deaf community. Communicating with a pad and pen or through texting is time consuming, and when seconds count, it makes it more difficult. so I wanted to learn ASL to hopefully be able to assist if a deaf person were to need help. Your videos are SO helpful!! Thank you!!
I'm a pediatric nurse who also does generalized med/surg (medical/surgical). For the very first time last week, I had a pediatric patient who signed. Though I have known the ASL alphabet for the majority of my life, this kiddo was very young. Though she can read, the spelling out of things wasn't the best way for asking her questions. Her mother filled in the gaps, but I like connecting with my patients on their level because I want them to know they matter and what they tell me, I'm taking very seriously. I really want to be able to put these kids in a place where they feel safer and for them to know their nurse is right there for them and that they're understood. What you're doing is wonderful. I'm so very glad I found you. You're going to help me be better. The next time signing will help, I'll be able to be that warrior for them, along with Mom and Dad. They deserve that. So thank you for this. So very much. Truly.
Thank you so much for making these easy for us beginners. My husband and I decided to learn sign as he fights cancer and is having problems speaking lately. We are having a blast and it helps us out a lot as we can now start to communicate to each other easier. ❤
I’m a registered nurse and I have yet to encounter a patient who is deaf but thought it would come in handy one day. I want to feel useful and as a nurse it’s important to have a relationship with your patient, to know that they can trust you
What a wonderful gift you have! Not only do you know it, you use it! I once learned a song and taught my Junior Church children, about 15. Talk about interest and cooperation, they all were fascinated to learn, and everyone participated!
This is very helpful thank you. Im a nurse in a small community where no professional knows asl and i always felt like not knowing asl/using pen and paper to communicate has made it difficult to provide care and build relationships with people. Being able to introduce myself is one thing but being able to actually assess and talk to people is another.
I started watching some of your basic ASL video. This caught my eye because I'm a third year medical student who just started rotations. Thank you again for these wonderful videos!
Thank you for teaching us basic medical signs. I hope it will include advance signs for diagnosis, tests, results and medication/treatment and home instructions. Greetings from the 🇵🇭.!
hey, I am a paramedic student and would love more videos of medical ASL! Not sure how many deaf or HOH patients i will encounter in my career but thought it would be beneficial to learn for their sake. thank you so much for these ].
COVID does have a sign. The non-dominate hand is an S with the dominate hand as a 5. The 5 hand tilt on the thumb side of the S hand. (You might be able to find it by searching for it on UA-cam.)
@@LearnHowtoSign You are doing an amazing job with Sign Language. I wish I can meet you one day. All thanks to you, I keep going back to videos I watched before. How do you sign soon? I have some trouble with that.
Can we create a video for people that work in the service industry specifically creating events, weddings, fundraisers? To discuss booking date, the time it starts, menu planning!
These could be very useful! I was just wondering what “help” is, too. I think that could be useful, also. Is there another video that has the sign “help”? Thanks! As always, this video was great! 🥰😁
Her 150 words series covers help in video 1 or 2 if you're still looking. Hopefully you found the answer already, but wanted to reply in case you didn't.
Hello I am new to your Channel, and have enjoyed it so far. Just curious where you learned ASL so well? I like the fact that you speak, as you are signing and that helps a great deal. I happen to speak German myself, so I’m linguistic-to a degree. Lastly, I also find it interesting that ASL has its roots in French, as well as Kentish English.🤔
Hi, I'm teaching my 2 year old sign language, and I recently came across your videos which I love cause you break down the signs which makes it easier to understand. As I watch this one I see you sign hurt and from a previous video (not yours) the sign for hurt is different, the index fingers touch twice. So my question is, how many signs do they have for hurt?
Do you have a video about emergency signs? Like fire alarm/drill, tsunami drill/alarm/warning, and tornado alarm/drill/warning? I am asking because I work with deaf people and safety educational videos like that would be very helpful.
Great video. I'm a actually a Italian sign language singer..I'm wondering if is necessary repeat' you ' twice in the sentence.. we don't use repeat you in the end of the sentence..i found it very redundant.. Its Mandatory? Thanks
This might be a stretch, but I'm a PA (physician assistant) and learning how to sign. Is there a sign for PA or other midlevel provider? Thanks for what you do!
Hello! Hope you're doing well. Thank you for doing this video. I was wondering if there was a possibility of doing another video with other signs related to the medical field. Thanks in advance! Your videos have been very helpful.
Very helpful, thank you. I work in the healthcare industry as a security officer. I perform standbys for psychiatric patients and I don't suppose you could help with possible common phrases
Hi! Can you do a medical specialty specific video? I work in ophthalmology and would love to have a video on how to sign eye, cataract, dry eye, blepharitis, pain in the eye, blurry vision, glasses, etc. thanks!!
How would you sign hand? Also, how would you sign I hurt my hand or arm (since you can't put the sign for hurt on your hand/arm)? Thank you so much, your videos have been super useful!
I didn't see any for law enforcement. I'm looking to increase my knowledge and get back into the law enforcement area. Especially in the areas of corrections and as a probation officer.
I want to say first of all that your videos have been great for me. I have two questions about this video. Your fist was closed on some things and not others, For instance, Doctor and nurse. Is there a difference noted there? and second, On the word fever.Why only the non-dominant hand?
Hi, I just watching your demo the "Fever" using the dominant hand, instead you say "nondominant" can you correct this info? and thank you for help me on the journey of learning. Thanks
I just watched all the 150 words and this vid. Every helpful! But I’ve noticed that during the sentences, you sometimes use words you haven’t explained. Like that last sentence, you never showed “experience” before
I came to comments with exact same question. I ended up just searching for the answer and I found the website. it basically says for mo you only do one motion from the top to the bottom and the palm faces towards you where temperature is up and down and the palm position is facing down. I hope this helps.
Wonderful. Thank you very much Meredith. You really replies our requests. Let next time foscus on these two videos too: 1. Religious Signs. God, Jesus, angels, heaven ,.... 2. How to sign bible's book. Genesis, exodus, Plasms,...
No, they are different, but I can see where you could be confused. Arrive takes the non-dominant hand, palm up while the dominant hand comes palm kind of down underneath the non-dominant hand and ends up palm up on the non-dominant hand. If that makes sense. If you're worried about confusion between the two you can mouth the word "arrive" or "all" as you sign it. For all, the non-dominant hand and the dominant hand kind of...circle...each other...sort of...and the palms are a bit more cupped. Conversely, if you're still worried about confusion, you can finger spell "all". I hope that helps...and was somewhat clear!
Yay!!! I can now ask someone this... I want to learn to sign in someone's hand that can't see or hear... I want to talk to someone. I saw it on TV a little girl helping a man in a plane. I cry thinking about it. I would want someone to talk to me... like how would I get there attention without scaring them
@Learn How to Sign If you can move the sign ‘hurt’ around to show where you’re hurting then why is ‘sore throat’ a sign? Wouldn’t it mean the same thing to do the sign ‘hurt’ on your throat?
This is textbook ASL. You at the beginning is showing who you are asking the question and the you at the end is a closing signal meaning you are done with your thought and ready for a response.
@@LearnHowtoSign ok I went back to time stamp it and I understand now. It was your H hand, the hand your using , like when you use the w..you said the w hand. It's my Brain damage..sometimes it takes more than once to get it

For doctor, you use a closed hand and for nurse you use open hand. Is there significant?
HELP FULL LEASON

What about urine and poop? A surgeon needs these signs
Is ASL medical sign universal?
