Fingerspelling Practice (ASL) (Seth) (Level 1) (Names)

  • ASL Receptive Fingerspelling Practice. Topic: "Names"
    Intended Audience: Mid-semester, Level 1 (Beginner)
    Dr. Bill of ASL University (Lifeprint.com) drills a volunteer student (Seth) on receptive fingerspelling.
    --------------------------------------
    Note from Dr. Bill: Yes, I know that at times I spell "very fast" to beginner level students. I do that on purpose to help them get past always trying to read "letter by letter." The goal is to learn to recognize the shape and flow of fingerspelled words. I intentionally challenge the students to see how much they are capable of accomplishing.

    Hello ASL Heroes!!!
    Hey, I could really use your help.
    If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you.
    A donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com.
    Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!”

    Thanks!
    - Dr. Bill
    p.s. Want to have your very own USB drive with four semesters worth of ASL instruction (that’s the equivalent of two years of colleges classes) for just $79.95? See "SuperUSB" in the ASLUniversity bookstore at:
    lifeprint.com/bookstore/bookstore.htm
    Take care and love to you all.

      I would love to purchase this USB drive, however I do not own a computer, anyone know if you could watch these on a ps4? Lol

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  6 років тому +1

      Probably. See:
      www.pavtube.com/play-mp4-on-ps4-from-usb.html
      I do use the H.264 codec for encoding into MP4 which "supposedly" plays on ps4.
      If you've got the money go ahead and get the drive and if it doesn't work I can issue you a refund.
      Or if money is tight just watch the ASL 1 through ASL 4 videos via this youtube channel.

      It is literally a matter of exposure. Your brain "rewires" the more you expose it.

    Thank you so much, Dr. Vicars, for providing so much excellent content for us and sharing your gift of teaching! What you do is truly a public service. I have always wanted to learn ASL, but was not confident in actually using the few signs I knew. Since studying your videos and website, I have learned so much, and can now communicate fairly well with deaf people that I meet. What a blessing to be able to connect with people whom I otherwise wouldn't have gotten to know. I hope someday to be skilled enough to interpret for my church. Thank you for making learning easy and fun! God bless!

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  3 роки тому +1

      True fact: That was recorded while teaching "ASL 1" (DEAF 51) at Sacramento State University. You can see half a dozen other clips from that same class with different students doing the type of fingerspelling recognition exercise. The point here is that the human brain is capable of developing a high level of pattern recognition in a very short period of time if trained in a specific way.
      You have to stop seeing individual letters and instead start seeing patterns of flow. To do that you need to be pushed -- hard.
      On a bet I once taught someone the manual alphabet in 5 minutes with the stipulation that after the five minutes were up the person would have to immediately show the entire alphabet. The student (who had no prior experience and did not know the alphabet prior to the exercise) passed with flying colors!

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  6 років тому +1

      Fingerspelled letters are influenced by the letters preceding and the letters that come after. The letter E will typically by strongly influenced by a preceding "H" and/or "N."
      Hearing students of sign language can make use of their mental wiring to associate fingerpelled letters with the typical spoken equivalents of how those letters occur in everyday speech to help quickly encode those letters into meaningful words.

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  3 роки тому +2

      Hmmm. You might just be onto something there. Maybe I should start bringing a whip to class?!?
      On the other hand, after you have watched a number of my videos you might note that I enjoy teaching my students "in general."
      To get technical about it, the student is indeed able to read my fingerspelling -- just not necessarily on the first try.
      I was very much enjoying proving to that class of "ASL 1" students that they were actually able to read fingerspelling at "Deaf speed" -- if they approached it as a form of pattern recognition instead of "letter by letter."

    • @sharonteakell1949

      He's an excellent instructor with tons of free videos. Apparently he wants everyone to have access to learning ASL. The fast speed gets people used to the real world deaf community. He slows down when he needs to. I think he enjoys his students and they seem to enjoy him

      That video was recorded "live" during one of the (many) ASL 1 courses I taught at Sacramento State. Seth is a regular ASL 1 student. I have several other similar clips posted to my channel of other students from that same Level 1 course doing this same activity.
      Students can read relatively fast fingerspelling -- if you teach them how. It helps to use related vocabulary sets and lots of context.

      This channel (billvicars) goes up to Level 4, and has a few special topics beyond that -- but certainly nothing that could be called "level 12." If you are referring to the UNIT 12 (LP) Quiz that would cover the last five lessons in ASL 4 which would be lessons 56 through 60. See: ua-cam.com/video/Lt_hhjk6QKw/v-deo.html and use the video list in that playlist to jump to the Lesson 56 video.

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  5 років тому +3

      During high speed fingerspelling -- the letter "E" varies and changes depending on the letters before and after the "E."
      For those of you curious about the letter "E" -- try watching a few videos of native Deaf fingerspelling words in online videos and then slowing the video down and looking at the fingerspelled words frame by frame -- then look at what happens to the E handshape when it comes after the letter N.

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  4 роки тому +3

      This video isn't for "learning" it is for practicing.
      Seth is an actual ASL 1 class student but he has already "learned" the ABC's. Now I'm helping him and the rest of the class to get their speed up to where they can start actually catching fingerspelled words in conversations with Deaf people. I might seem to be joking around a bit but the point is by the end of the video Seth is actually better than when he started.
      If you are looking for a video for "learning" then check out:
      ua-cam.com/video/va1aAXpVr2w/v-deo.html
      Or asl.gs/
      Or: asl.ms/mobile
      If you'd like to see some static fingerspelling, see:
      www.lifeprint.com/asl101/fingerspelling/fingerspelling.htm
      On a desktop computer you might want to try some of the resources listed on this page:
      www.lifeprint.com/asl101/fingerspelling/
      If for whatever reason you actually want to see a slowed down version of the video of Seth practicing fingerspelling with me you can do that by going to a desktop computer and loading this video into a full-sized browser and clicking on the "gear" icon and choosing a slower speed such as 25%.

      We should all be grateful Mr. Vicars takes the time to upload all of this free education, not complaining about it. I am sure he knows what he is doing... If you need help learning, take the time to learn the alphabet, and some fingerspelling drills on your own until you get up to speed. Slowing this video down may help you understand but getting up to speed is highly important.
