    I went to your shop and saw your "love" shirt, I saw someone wearing it before and now I regret not trying to sign to them, pretty awesome I actually met someone with it. Maybe I'll buy one and see if anyone signs to me.

    We are teaching ASL in our homeschooling and I want to say that you and your husband are such a gift. You are so excellent at teaching and explaining some of the thought behind why certain things are signed in the ways that they are, it helps us to remember how to do it. Thank you so much!! By far the best ASL learning channel I have found.

    For several months, I have tried to learn basic ASL with flash cards and books. Without any deaf friends or co-workers I found it difficult to use my new-found skills or retain what I had learned. Viewing your videos has helped immensely. I learned how important it is to use facial expressions with signs and how to connect those words to form sentences a deaf person would understand more clearly. Great stuff, please keep it up

I’ve been stressed at times and your videos bring peace in our home. I agree that y’all are such a gift. We love watching and practicing at the same time. Your explanations (why certain things are signed, posture or facial expressions, etc) definitely helps us as well. We love your ASL learning channel and family! 💕🤟🏽

    Hello! I am not a CODA but I grew up around deaf people. I also studied ASL in college. I am now teaching a beginner's class to my close friends and family (the side that wasn't involved with the deaf community). I love your videos and send them often to my students to help widen their vocabulary, but I was wondering if you could do a grammar/syntax series, especially conversation syntax. You teach some of ASL grammar in your phrases but you never explain the rules or why something is done. I just love you as a resource and think it would be so beneficial for my students! Thanks again!

    I am SO grateful to have this content you provide!!! I've studied ASL over 5yrs ago with a Deaf teacher and reached level three. Due to life changes I fell out of contact with the community w/o developing strong relationships that would help me practice. My purpose was to bring this to more local churches, business communities and provide resources to the deaf community among the hearing. I hope to pickup where I left off but strength my connections. Taking your youtube classes is reconnecting me and I plan to join your program in a week or two. Yes, and I will support by purchasing a T-Shirt as well.

    Meredith, your explanations are amazing and easy to follow. The grammatical lessons are great and they make all the difference in understanding ASL sentence structure.

    Learning ASL has been on the bucket list for a VERY long time! Just finished my first course at the local CC and your videos have been very educational. The structure is easy to follow and very user (novice) friendly. Appreciate the explanations and the examples that you demonstrate. Having the ASL signs demonstrated in a clear manner with the verbal information complimenting the execution of the hand/finger movements is extremely helpful and a well thought-out method of teaching. Greatly appreciate your contribution. An A+ for stage, sound & video(grapher)--tastefully done, family friendly and EZ on the eyes & ears!

    Meredith and Brian, love your videos. I just came upon them a couple of weeks ago and have been watching one after another. I work in the DHH field as an office assistant. I wasn't required to be proficient in ASL, but was suggested I learn basic sign. I have three co-workers that are deaf, and want to be able to communicate better with them, then just emailing back and forth our requests. I also work on the campus of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf and occasionally communicate with staff there. You are one of the best teachers I have run across giving lessons. You make it fun to learn with your enthusiastic approach and aren't at all boring and S...L...O...W, like some others I have watched. I will keep watching them over until I can memorize them. You asked once in a video if we have any suggestions on videos. You did that one video on different jobs (fireman, cop, doctor, etc.), I would love to watch one with the different office signs in it. (copy, print, edit, mail, desk, table, computer, phone (you did that sign already) fax, send, etc. etc. I think this would help in all professions of working in an office. Forgive me if you already did one, I'm still trying to make it through them all.
    Thanks, and keep up the wonderful learning videos.

    Meredith-for me, you are the best sign instruction on the internet, thanks, great pace, choices, manner. I’m not good at languages but love learning ASL just because it’s creative and fun, hope to use it one day. Here’s a suggestion of what I’d like to see-a video for explaining beginner status. I learned from one clip how to say, “I’m learning ASL on the internet” but would like to learn the following to practice more-I only know a little, I really like learning it, I can understand just a bit, if you sign slowly. I’m not very good. ASL is fun but also really challenging, especially when it’s fast- all those phrases. Hard to title that video but maybe “explaining your beginner status in asl?”

    @lachelleruiz7922 2 роки тому

    These videos have been amazing and I love your explanations for the signs. If there was a tweak I would ask that you please slow down and explain the more complicated signs because when you start involving two arms (and not just two hands) the movement becomes jumbled and confusing. Even with rewinding a bunch of times its still too quick. The "every morning" and "oversleep" signs for example are hard for me to replicate and remember. I would suggest doing one arm first than layering the second arm at the starting position and than start the sign as normal.
