My mom is deaf and taught me sign language as I was growing up and now I'm so proud to be able to teach my son sign language too. He's one and so far he can sign milk and yes :)
I think it would be better if signing was the same in every language. If everyone would learn it we had a language that everyone understands. But we still own our culture with our speaking language
I think it's wonderful that there are so many sign languages. There are way more spoken languages and all languages have a shared culture and history that is evident within the speech itself. I appreciate the fact that there are so many ways we all express ourselves. I know ASL but I also want to learn BSL and JSL and maybe even an African sign language if I can find the resources
i had to learn BSL ever since i could remember My childhood bestie (she still is my bestie) is deaf so i had to learn i so i could play wit her. I basically Use BSL everyday! So glad my bestie did make me learn it!
@@katielovesanime4425 awesome. In trying to learn but the only resources I can use currently are online ones and I cany find many good ones but I hadn't thought of videos so thank you!
My almost 3 year old daughter isn’t deaf but she’s nonverbal (she has autism) so she signs a little to communicate with us. Her first was “eat” Kids are apparently very food driven 😂
Wylde Fyre apparently she went back to get a newer model a few years ago and it didn’t give her that shock she said that she just finds the hearing world to be overwhelming sometimes and made the decision to stop wearing her implant and hasn’t for the past few years.
Olivia I think she might have had speech therapy and probably has to guess what a letter or word sounds like. She is hard to understand. If you met her in person and didn't know sign it might be easier for her to write to you and you write to her back and forth. Of course, on here she can put captions on her videos, and comment on here with text.
You both are so beautiful my heart is literally bursting with happiness at how caring and BRILLIANT your momma was when you were growing up I’m from the Bay Area started learning ASL 2 years ago as soon as I realized how valuable knowing sign language was I’ve always wondered why they don’t teach it regularly to all children not only to be able to communicate with a huge part of our country but you never know what could happen either hearing loss caused by accidents or someone in your family having that language already would save such a great deal of worry or confusion on communication barriers I love your videos can’t wait to se more lots of love and blessing from California
Or just for the sake of it, learning a second language has so many benefits for the mind, it doesn't matter which language you learn as long as you learn one, and sign language is just as valid!
Yeah its good but bsl is a different language to English, it has different sentence structure and grammar so its quite hard to do together, probably why her mum was going slow so it worked together.
My daughter has fluctuating hearing, sometimes low enough to be considered deaf sometimes a little better, she is just bad enough that the help for hearing kids is not helpful but not quite deaf enough to get funding or get help for the deaf, it's really stressful and I need to get onto the sign language (nzsl) but it's hard, all the classes fill up fast.
@@shushia1658 fluctuating hearing that's interesting my 4 year old has failed his school hearing test. We've been referred to audiology, it can't be that bad because we talk to him fine and he understands so I'm just abit anxious about it all. My eldest son is blind completely aswell so makes it abit harder I guess. Is there anything they can do for hearing like your child has?
@@shushia1658 I did have that when I was little but as I grew up it turned out that I went completely deaf at age 7 then at age 9 I started to lose the ability to talk right
I love it I don't know BSL but lm learning ASL to be able to communicate with people.Thank you for showing your it experiences with us it makes me want to learn BSL.Thank you
Same I don’t know BSL but am learning ASL. Maybe one day I will be able to learn BSL as well but rn still taking classes for ASL just because I enjoy and want to help people in the future
@@ameliapc3943 They're very different. They use some of the same signs but have completely different meanings. Like the sign for where in ASL is the sign for what in BSL. It's strange but interesting.
I honestly started to tear up watching you sign along with your book. It’s so cool to see people brought up in different ways and I love learning about other cultures. Once I have the money, I’m going to take ASL classes at my local college. I’m about to start core classes for nursing and I want to be able to communicate with more people. Your videos educate and inspire me everyday ❤️
15:17-15:50 Wow, what is this wonderful place you were in? It was so interesting to learn about your story of growing up using sign language! I love your videos so much!
Hi, don't know if anyone commented on this yet, but just saw the video so I'll comment on it now: speech therapy isn't only about speech :) I work as a sign language teacher and work together with speech therapists. And they put a lot of time and effort into the structure of the spoken language as well and pronunciation. And if someone is profoundly deaf and the prononciation is hard with every new word, they usually drop that part when kids grow older (about 10 or 12) and focus more on structure of sentences and practising with lip reading. And it makes sense: every spoken language knows thousands and thousands of words: imagine having to practice the prononciation of every one of them. It is a waste of time and gets you frustrated along the way as well. So I hope you're glad in the end that they put a lot of time in your English! Because your written English seems really strong and that gives you a lot of career opportunities :)
Aww wow these clips are so precious! To see the first clip of you struggling to blow out your candles and then the second clip of you older blowing them out with such ease literally just made my heart melt! You’ve gave me such an insight into how it is to be deaf and these things like blowing out a candle I never really thought how that could be hard for someone and is took for granted but I’m glad you’re giving us all an insight. Lovely content and such a lovely girl too! I never go out of my way to write a comment but I thought you should know that I’m enjoying your videos and I’m so glad your Siri video has blown up and has got you the recognition you very much deserve!! Much love ❤️❤️
Wow what a great video! Your mom was so great for realizing she had to stay ahead of you with language and doing her best to learn BSL. I wish all families with Deaf kids did the same.
I think she's right, learning sign language is beneficial for all babies, hearing and deaf, for hearing babies it can mean being able to communicate before they're able to reproduce the sounds of speech, which would eliminate a lot of the frustration of those early stages. I also use it (the *very little* ASL that I know) to teach English to my younger hearing Spanish students, because assigning a sign to every word helps them remember it so much better. Specially for us Spaniards, gesturing while we speak comes so naturally, we can't help it, so why not use that instinct to learn another language, which has so many benefits all-around! I'm so upset I wasn't taught any sign language at school growing up. Luckily my one deaf friend is excellent at reading lips and is *so patient* with my crappy signing 😭
I love your channel, I am hearing but I choose to learn ASL instead of Spanish or Chinese for 3 years in high school it was really cool! It’s a very useful language to know, I remember when I worked at McDonald’s there was a deaf or hard of hearing man that came in and he would always come right up to me cause he knew I could communicate with him properly. It made me feel like I did something right. Also you were super cute as a baby, cute now too but I love itty bitty babies 😭😱😍❤️
I know ASL and I am hearing but one day I realized how extremely important is was to learn this and how hard it would be to get myself into the mindset of "you want to learn this you must practice" so I learned alot slower then I would have hoped and I'm still leaning it is absolutely amazing on how you got through life not ever having someone to talk to you on what you needed to do! You are awesome! I'm only 11 but someday I hope I can become more fluent in ASL
My firend taught her baby some makaton. I wondered, in the back of my mind, if it would slow her speech development in any way, but it was incredible. She was communicating before she could verbally form words and her speech was never delayed, never suffered in favour of signing.
I’d like to teach my babies sign language because it seems like a brilliant way to get kids to communicate before they have the language skills to do so.
Well, they usually develop at the same time, but sign language is very useful if your child has a DHOH friend. Also, being bilingual is actually great for brain development!
This is great! My son is hearing, but when he was a lot younger he didn’t verbally say much. He pretty much just grunted loudly to get what he needed. I started teaching him a few signs so he could communicate with us better. Things like down, more, please, all done, eat. He’s 2 now, still not a huge talker its more baby talk mixed with works. But he still uses his signs and talks verbally! He uses please the most, because he knows it will get him whatever he wants haha. It might not be an entire language but I’m still proud of myself for teaching him! I hope to teach him other language as he gets older!
This is so great! I have never met a deaf person but decided to start learning BSL. I am not great yet but would be able to communicate somewhat with a deaf person. Also It is so great seeing all of you friends and you birthday party using sign language to sing Happy Birthday, so cute!
It is so interested to watch! I'm becoming a speech therapist, and sighing for baby's (hearing and deaf baby's) helps for the grow of vocabulary! You're totally right, it would be so good to teach all baby's sign language!
How do you teach babies sign language? And how do you know they are able to catch what you signing to them? I'm curious to know. Might as well learning one myself.
@@el3743 you can fellow classes, there are even a lot classes on the internet or in real life. Using talking and signing can be seen as as two language. (or signing can support the speech) babys/children can use talking and signing by eachother. Learning words will go faster by using speechs and signing together. It will give the child more ways to learn the words. :) Also, some sounds will develop later at a particular age (like the /r/ around the age of 6). A child can feel a lot more confident to "sign" the words instead of talking.
@@el3743 also, signing is a language or can support speechlanguage. Just like talking, signing has a meaning. Use the sign a lot, just like you do when you talk to a child. You will see they will catch it after a while :)
Axel Auriant I started teaching my son a few signs when he was younger he’s not deaf, but he didn’t verbally communicate much. If he wanted more food, I would sign more and wait for him to sign more before giving it to him. That’s just what worked for us! It takes a lot of practice and patience from my experience!
What a fabulous mummy you have 🤗 loved seeing your gorgeous baby videos Jasmine :) and you’re right, I think ALL babies would benefit from sign language too. I’ve done it with both my boys, even though they can hear - there’s a period before they’re 2isj when they can’t talk but want to and signing really helps them feel understood and therefore basically eliminates tantrums! Aw you signing ‘dog’ in front of the TV reminds me of my babies. Just lovely. Babies are so clever! Really enjoyed this video xx
Very cute clips and really interesting to hear/see your story. We did baby signing classes with my little boy from around 5/6 months and when he was 6/7 months old he did his first sign (milk) by 14 months he had over 100 signs it was such a great way to communicate with him, he's now 2 and still signs alongside words he is picking up. I wish I knew more.
My daughter isn’t deaf but she’s on the autism spectrum and nonverbal so we started working on some basic signing with her when she was about 18 months old (she could understand us but she couldn’t communicate back to us and she would get very frustrated) I totally relate to the complete shock and awe your mum was talking about when you used your first sign. My daughter’s first sign was for “eat.” And I was like WAIT A MINUTE, DID YOU JUST SIGN THAT?! I had her redo it like 4 times because I was in complete shock and disbelief 😂
I did my BSL level 1 and failed :(( but this has encouraged me to carry on and not get discouraged, I won’t alienate myself or others because of not speaking the same language :)
Love the baby clips!! What a cutie! 😍 Thank you both so much for doing a video like this! It's so helpful, and based on how fast you started signing, everyone should learn at least some! That's wonderful your whole family learned too ❤❤❤
I was always fascinated by sign language. I learned the alphabet and then, I found Switched at Birth and I loved it. I’m glad I stumbled on this channel. You’re awesome, Jazzy
rut I think it might come from observing how others shape their mouths to create specific sounds... From my observations, American English uses wider vowels and sounds like “e-ee” and “ai-ee,” while British English produces rounder vowels like “ee-uh” and “aw-ih.”
Thanks for sharing this!! I am deaf. I sign ASL. ( America signlanguage) I love the book your mom made for you as a baby, brilliant idea! I lost my hearing as an adult. It was difficult at first to transition from my hearing culture to my deaf culture, but now I can participate in both because I’ve learned ASL. Love the fun pictures at the end of video, your sissy is so funny licking her toe! 😂 🤣
I just came across you, I am hearing but I work in a job where it is beneficial for me to learn BSL so I am starting to learn. It was good to see your mum talk about how she learnt and helped you learn
I’m hearing and don’t know anyone who uses BSL to communicate so your videos are really helpful for me to get used to ‘reading’ signs as I’m trying hard to learn. Thank you!
Ja ja wow that's was sweet and awesome I enjoy seeing your baby 🍼 clips very funny 🤣 that's krazy how you started to learn sign when you were pretty much a baby
Actually understood your first sentence, and I've only been watching you videos for a little while (think one of the first ones I saw was you speaking to your family and them figuring what you were saying). Love your videos btw, and hope what I said didn't come across bad, I was just glad I'm starting to understand your speaking voice.
Little Jazzy is TOO cute OMG she is so happy with her signing I love it ♥ Jazzy you do great with your voice! for someone who has never heard a voice or your own you do great! Honestly I feel like learning sign language should be part of every school because I dont think Deaf people should have to accommodate and use their voice if they arent comfortable just to talk with a hearing person, I really wish I had learned another language, especially sign language growing up, I know the basics, but in ASL I can tell my name and ask how you are and say nice to meet you but I wish I knew more. I was teaching myself but I have issues with my hands so its hard for me to do it without being in pain :/
Jazzy, love watching your videos. I am an ASL interpreter and I love seeing the differences in our signed languages! Makes me nerd out about sign language all the more!
You are so lovely and inspirational ! love your videos ! it is very interesting to know your mum's story too. I work in a pre school with under fives - you have inspired me and made me realise how important it is to teach some BSL to the children . Jill - Tom's mum
I love the book idea! I’m hard of hearing in both ears from being on ECMO and I’m due to have a baby boy any day. I want to teach him sign so he doesn’t have to struggle to communicate with me. I never learned sign growing up, the therapists told my parents I wouldn’t want to speak if I learned sign but today it’s obviously encouraged that even hearing kids learn to sign. I took ASL over a year ago and it was fun but I barely remember it 😅
At the moment I am trying to learn sign language (Auslan) because I think it would be nice to communicate with deaf people and to support them when nobody else can. I also think we should learn sign language at school!
I love your videos and I love the way your family and you are. I always wanted to learn sign language but I never had the opportunity to do it, I hope it became real I thing this should be taught in all schools, no matter what. Greetings from Paraguay 🥳💗🇵🇾✨
I love this video Jazzy, thank you to you and your Mum for making it. I am a Teacher of the Deaf and this is a great example I can show to the families I work with. I will be making some books and videos soon.🤗👍
I love the relationship with your mum!! You’re both so cute ^_^! I think BSL should be taught in schools, it’s just like learning a second language! I wish I was taught as a child!
Wylde Fyre well I didn’t mean it that way. Wow there’s always someone who’s like this even when you’re supporting sign language. Best not comment anymore. Sorry Jazzy.
My mom taught me sign language when I was a baby (i am hearing) and I knew lots of signs but forgot them all when I learned to talk. Watching your channel has made me want to learn sign language again :)
What a cute baby!! I agree that schools should teach BSL to a certain level so more and more deaf children can be integrated into "mainstream" schools. Good luck with your speech therapy. I remember having to blow a ping pong ball across the table and they used to smear ( rub) honey over my top lip, though I can not remember why
As a speech therapist working with deaf teenagers I’d just like to just say that the job of a speech therapist is not just about saying words. It’s about language, and social skills, and vocabulary, and voice, and soooooo many different things. It’s likely that your speech therapist felt there was a reason they wanted to work on language. I know I have some students who are difficult to understand because they might be missing some of the English grammatical markers, so we work on it. However it’s really important that we listen to the views of our clients, so if you’d like to go back to speech therapy I hope you will. Be assertive and let them know what it is you hope to gain!
This might sound ignorant but I am genuinely wondering and I'd be so grateful if someone had an answer to this: Obviously deaf babies learn sign language from their parents, but I just don't quite understand how. When someone is speaking to the baby, the baby might not initially understand the words, but it can hear the tone and understand emotions. But with sign language, the person signs without a tone, and only then the action happens. So for example, you can't feed a baby and sign at the same time if the baby likes it. You always have to do it before or after the action. So how does the baby pick up on the signs?
This is such a wonderful video! Love all the cute baby clips and you and your mom are soo sweet!! Your videos have been so helpful for me because I am creating a Deaf character and your experiences have really helped me into making him feel more real. I am currently learning ASL although I do spend a lot of time in the UK... Maybe I should learn BSL as well! xoxo
I love video did you ever wear hearing aids ? I was born with dead nerves I do wear profound hearing aids I also two old body worn hearing aids they have wires on them now I have two bte hearing great video thank you guys.
I learned a bit of bsl when I was a baby,I used to have seizures when younger so I couldn’t develop speech as fast as the other kids so when I was 5 I could speak full sentences not just words, like at 4 I could only say short sentences like “play at park” but when I turned 5 I could say things like “ please can we go play at the park” and my mom knew I wouldn’t be able to develop speech as fast so I would only spend 1 day a week at school up till that age because kids would just talk and talk and talk to me but I wouldn’t understand and I would have something similar to a panic attack but at 2-5 I’m 11 now but speech still affects me a bit like instead of saying used I say ‘yose’ I’m trying to get out of the habit now because whenever I say it during school kids make fun of me for it. I learned ‘dog’ ‘mamma milk' ‘dad’ and a few more. Sometimes I spend 3 or 4 days a week at school because of the same reason but most of the time I spend 5 :)
Imagine if signing was the same for every language, then all around the world we could all speak to each other with signing instead of like speaking. It would be so cool.
That's exactly the same as for speaking though. I don't think it would be cool if everyone in the world spoke the same language. That would be sad. It would be like if there was only one kind of tree in the world, only one kind of fruit, only one kind of mammal. The world isn't meant to be uniform.
My deaf friend profoundly deaf got cochlear implant age 2 and now 22 his speech amazing almost like hearing person depend on deaf person if put much effort in speech and theory for 15 years and cochlear implant not successful for every deaf person
My mom is deaf and taught me sign language as I was growing up and now I'm so proud to be able to teach my son sign language too. He's one and so far he can sign milk and yes :)
💙❤️Amazing mother
xxSadie Michellexx i hope not

Asl or bsl?

I do must agree although there are some universal signs, I dont know them but i am learning NMG(Dutch with Signs) and NGB(Dutch sign language)
ass butt Probably ASL? It’s similar to the sign language they use in France so it may be helpful. I have the same problem and it’s so frustrating!
Each different sign language is a different language, it would be easier if every spoken language was the same too
i had to learn BSL ever since i could remember
My childhood bestie (she still is my bestie) is deaf so i had to learn i so i could play wit her.
I basically Use BSL everyday! So glad my bestie did make me learn it!
How did you learn?

I love this so much! My 2 year old is profoundly deaf and we sign in ASL with him. His first sign was cookie! 😂❤️
The most important sign of course😂
Seems like every kids first sign is cookie mine was 😂
My almost 3 year old daughter isn’t deaf but she’s nonverbal (she has autism) so she signs a little to communicate with us. Her first was “eat”

My best friends little brother is partially deaf and he can sign milk and all done at 2 years old. ❣️
It amazes me how a deaf person can still pronounce some words even when they have never heard words
deaf..not death!!
slime time oops didn’t realise just changed it thx

But he still uses his signs and talks verbally! He uses please the most, because he knows it will get him whatever he wants haha. It might not be an entire language but I’m still proud of myself for teaching him! I hope to teach him other language as he gets older!
That clip of you doing sign language as a baby and someone showing you pictures (around 6:00) was ADORABLE!!!!😍
Awww Seeing your mother when she was younger, you and your sister really take after her!!!
YESSSSSS MILLLLKKK ❤️❤️❤️
Jasmine: "I order milk at McDonald's and I'm 19 years old"
Me: Same thing girl. Same thing.
That's cute and plus the lovely story of you growing up with sign language. Great work one and all.
You both are so beautiful. I love hearing your experiences and one day I’d love to learn BSL myself 💗💗
This is so great! I have never met a deaf person but decided to start learning BSL. I am not great yet but would be able to communicate somewhat with a deaf person. Also It is so great seeing all of you friends and you birthday party using sign language to sing Happy Birthday, so cute!
It is so interested to watch! I'm becoming a speech therapist, and sighing for baby's (hearing and deaf baby's) helps for the grow of vocabulary! You're totally right, it would be so good to teach all baby's sign language!
How do you teach babies sign language? And how do you know they are able to catch what you signing to them? I'm curious to know. Might as well learning one myself.
@@el3743 you can fellow classes, there are even a lot classes on the internet or in real life.
Using talking and signing can be seen as as two language. (or signing can support the speech) babys/children can use talking and signing by eachother. Learning words will go faster by using speechs and signing together. It will give the child more ways to learn the words. :)
Also, some sounds will develop later at a particular age (like the /r/ around the age of 6). A child can feel a lot more confident to "sign" the words instead of talking.
@@el3743 also, signing is a language or can support speechlanguage. Just like talking, signing has a meaning. Use the sign a lot, just like you do when you talk to a child. You will see they will catch it after a while :)
Axel Auriant I started teaching my son a few signs when he was younger he’s not deaf, but he didn’t verbally communicate much. If he wanted more food, I would sign more and wait for him to sign more before giving it to him. That’s just what worked for us! It takes a lot of practice and patience from my experience!
I couldn’t stop watching your baby clips! You are all super cute and lovely 💜
What a fabulous mummy you have 🤗 loved seeing your gorgeous baby videos Jasmine :) and you’re right, I think ALL babies would benefit from sign language too. I’ve done it with both my boys, even though they can hear - there’s a period before they’re 2isj when they can’t talk but want to and signing really helps them feel understood and therefore basically eliminates tantrums! Aw you signing ‘dog’ in front of the TV reminds me of my babies. Just lovely. Babies are so clever! Really enjoyed this video xx
Very cute clips and really interesting to hear/see your story. We did baby signing classes with my little boy from around 5/6 months and when he was 6/7 months old he did his first sign (milk) by 14 months he had over 100 signs it was such a great way to communicate with him, he's now 2 and still signs alongside words he is picking up. I wish I knew more.
My daughter isn’t deaf but she’s on the autism spectrum and nonverbal so we started working on some basic signing with her when she was about 18 months old (she could understand us but she couldn’t communicate back to us and she would get very frustrated)
I totally relate to the complete shock and awe your mum was talking about when you used your first sign. My daughter’s first sign was for “eat.” And I was like WAIT A MINUTE, DID YOU JUST SIGN THAT?! I had her redo it like 4 times because I was in complete shock and disbelief 😂
It’s so sweet how they signed the birthday song at your party when you were little.
You are so brilliant Jasmine😍 Very smart, i must say. 😊
I did my BSL level 1 and failed :(( but this has encouraged me to carry on and not get discouraged, I won’t alienate myself or others because of not speaking the same language :)
Your moms book 📖 was such a fantastic & beautiful idea 😁👏❤️
is it just me or is it satisfying watching people doing sign language. idk it just looks really cool. i wish i could sign more than just the alphabet
Love the baby clips!! What a cutie! 😍 Thank you both so much for doing a video like this! It's so helpful, and based on how fast you started signing, everyone should learn at least some! That's wonderful your whole family learned too ❤❤❤
JAZZY! Your voice is really improving
I was always fascinated by sign language. I learned the alphabet and then, I found Switched at Birth and I loved it. I’m glad I stumbled on this channel. You’re awesome, Jazzy
even though you're deaf i can hear a british accent in your voice its interesting!
rut I think it might come from observing how others shape their mouths to create specific sounds... From my observations, American English uses wider vowels and sounds like “e-ee” and “ai-ee,” while British English produces rounder vowels like “ee-uh” and “aw-ih.”
@@sarahmorar1052 yea thats true
I find it so amazing how everyone at her birthday party made her feel good by singing to her 😫
Thanks for sharing this!! I am deaf. I sign ASL. ( America signlanguage) I love the book your mom made for you as a baby, brilliant idea!
I lost my hearing as an adult. It was difficult at first to transition from my hearing culture to my deaf culture, but now I can participate in both because I’ve learned ASL.
Love the fun pictures at the end of video, your sissy is so funny licking her toe! 😂 🤣
I just came across you, I am hearing but I work in a job where it is beneficial for me to learn BSL so I am starting to learn. It was good to see your mum talk about how she learnt and helped you learn
I’m hearing and don’t know anyone who uses BSL to communicate so your videos are really helpful for me to get used to ‘reading’ signs as I’m trying hard to learn. Thank you!
When I was a baby my parents taught me sign language so I could talk to them. I only remember a little now but I plan on learning it again
Ja ja wow that's was sweet and awesome I enjoy seeing your baby 🍼 clips very funny 🤣 that's krazy how you started to learn sign when you were pretty much a baby
I love your personality and video so much
BIG FAN
black jack :j
Actually understood your first sentence, and I've only been watching you videos for a little while (think one of the first ones I saw was you speaking to your family and them figuring what you were saying). Love your videos btw, and hope what I said didn't come across bad, I was just glad I'm starting to understand your speaking voice.
This is so cute n funny video, good story bout deaf as baby n all grown up, I love this video it so emotional
Little Jazzy is TOO cute OMG she is so happy with her signing I love it ♥ Jazzy you do great with your voice! for someone who has never heard a voice or your own you do great!
Honestly I feel like learning sign language should be part of every school because I dont think Deaf people should have to accommodate and use their voice if they arent comfortable just to talk with a hearing person, I really wish I had learned another language, especially sign language growing up, I know the basics, but in ASL I can tell my name and ask how you are and say nice to meet you but I wish I knew more. I was teaching myself but I have issues with my hands so its hard for me to do it without being in pain :/
Jazzy, love watching your videos. I am an ASL interpreter and I love seeing the differences in our signed languages! Makes me nerd out about sign language all the more!
I remember those BSL videos, I used to watch them quite a lot when I was young, I even had the books.
Love ur baby vids and your regular vids
You are so lovely and inspirational ! love your videos ! it is very interesting to know your mum's story too.
I work in a pre school with under fives - you have inspired me and made me realise how important it is to teach some BSL to the children . Jill - Tom's mum
I love the book idea! I’m hard of hearing in both ears from being on ECMO and I’m due to have a baby boy any day. I want to teach him sign so he doesn’t have to struggle to communicate with me. I never learned sign growing up, the therapists told my parents I wouldn’t want to speak if I learned sign but today it’s obviously encouraged that even hearing kids learn to sign. I took ASL over a year ago and it was fun but I barely remember it 😅
This is so lovely and truly amazing ♥️♥️ Jasmine you should be extremely proud of yourself ❣️🥰
At the moment I am trying to learn sign language (Auslan) because I think it would be nice to communicate with deaf people and to support them when nobody else can. I also think we should learn sign language at school!
New Subscriber, I started learning BSL last year and its so interesting!
I love your videos and I love the way your family and you are. I always wanted to learn sign language but I never had the opportunity to do it, I hope it became real I thing this should be taught in all schools, no matter what. Greetings from Paraguay 🥳💗🇵🇾✨
I love this video Jazzy, thank you to you and your Mum for making it. I am a Teacher of the Deaf and this is a great example I can show to the families I work with. I will be making some books and videos soon.🤗👍
Such an outstanding mom
I love the relationship with your mum!! You’re both so cute ^_^!
I think BSL should be taught in schools, it’s just like learning a second language! I wish I was taught as a child!
It is another language! It actually has its own sentence structure.
Wylde Fyre I didn’t say it wasn’t a language tho.
Halfblood Pixie
It was implied when you said “*it’s like* learning another language”
Wylde Fyre well I didn’t mean it that way.
Wow there’s always someone who’s like this even when you’re supporting sign language. Best not comment anymore. Sorry Jazzy.
baby jaz trying to blow out candles looks like boris johnston im so sorry 😂🤣😂🤣
So beautiful! I am American my first language is American sign language my mom and dad where Deaf!
This is a truly beautiful video, great job, Jazzy, have a wonderful day!
This made me so happy! I love you guys. 😍❤️❤️
My mom taught me sign language when I was a baby (i am hearing) and I knew lots of signs but forgot them all when I learned to talk. Watching your channel has made me want to learn sign language again :)
Jasmine is so smart
I really enjoy this video. You and you sister were adorable babies
I love this video so much! So interesting to hear your experience at home growing up and the clips are SO CUTE!!
What a cute baby!! I agree that schools should teach BSL to a certain level so more and more deaf children can be integrated into "mainstream" schools. Good luck with your speech therapy. I remember having to blow a ping pong ball across the table and they used to smear ( rub) honey over my top lip, though I can not remember why
As a speech therapist working with deaf teenagers I’d just like to just say that the job of a speech therapist is not just about saying words. It’s about language, and social skills, and vocabulary, and voice, and soooooo many different things. It’s likely that your speech therapist felt there was a reason they wanted to work on language. I know I have some students who are difficult to understand because they might be missing some of the English grammatical markers, so we work on it. However it’s really important that we listen to the views of our clients, so if you’d like to go back to speech therapy I hope you will. Be assertive and let them know what it is you hope to gain!
Sign language is just a talent and the other talent is to communicate and understand it !❤️❤️
“Naughty jasmine naughty girl” 😂 that killed me
His is so incredible how you do this 💞
I'm glad I came across this video. Very informative as to how you learned how to sign. I was always curious
This might sound ignorant but I am genuinely wondering and I'd be so grateful if someone had an answer to this:
Obviously deaf babies learn sign language from their parents, but I just don't quite understand how. When someone is speaking to the baby, the baby might not initially understand the words, but it can hear the tone and understand emotions. But with sign language, the person signs without a tone, and only then the action happens. So for example, you can't feed a baby and sign at the same time if the baby likes it. You always have to do it before or after the action. So how does the baby pick up on the signs?
In sign language "tone" is expressed by facial expressions. I didn't understand the last part sorry.
This is so amazing, the relationship you have with your sister and your mom is so great 💗💗
I love how it’s kinda hard to understand you but your “Thumbs up” is absolutely clear xd love u btw
this is so cute
I love your videos! So inspiring. I am a speech pathology student so it’s interesting seeing how speech helped/didn’t help in some ways! 🙂
So cute! I wish you all the best!
This is such a wonderful video! Love all the cute baby clips and you and your mom are soo sweet!! Your videos have been so helpful for me because I am creating a Deaf character and your experiences have really helped me into making him feel more real. I am currently learning ASL although I do spend a lot of time in the UK... Maybe I should learn BSL as well! xoxo
I love video did you ever wear hearing aids ? I was born with dead nerves I do wear profound hearing aids I also two old body worn hearing aids they have wires on them now I have two bte hearing great video thank you guys.
I used to wear hearing aids but I gave up on them ages ago! I still wear my cochlear implant though :)
This makes me wanna learn sign language!
Which sign language?
I'm deaf too :) went to a mainstream school cos I refused to go anywhere else. A mainstream school is where I met my now fiance xx
Kayleigh Hughes awwwwwwww x
I learned a bit of bsl when I was a baby,I used to have seizures when younger so I couldn’t develop speech as fast as the other kids so when I was 5 I could speak full sentences not just words, like at 4 I could only say short sentences like “play at park” but when I turned 5 I could say things like “ please can we go play at the park” and my mom knew I wouldn’t be able to develop speech as fast so I would only spend 1 day a week at school up till that age because kids would just talk and talk and talk to me but I wouldn’t understand and I would have something similar to a panic attack but at 2-5 I’m 11 now but speech still affects me a bit like instead of saying used I say ‘yose’ I’m trying to get out of the habit now because whenever I say it during school kids make fun of me for it. I learned ‘dog’ ‘mamma milk' ‘dad’ and a few more. Sometimes I spend 3 or 4 days a week at school because of the same reason but most of the time I spend 5 :)
You was little girl cute and smart 😊🤟🏾
I absolutely love your channel!
Wow, your mom were young and so pretty. And you are really so cute 🤭 and last clip video, it's your sister.😆 It's funny 😂
Imagine if signing was the same for every language, then all around the world we could all speak to each other with signing instead of like speaking. It would be so cool.
I would probably had been lazy and invented talking
That's exactly the same as for speaking though. I don't think it would be cool if everyone in the world spoke the same language. That would be sad. It would be like if there was only one kind of tree in the world, only one kind of fruit, only one kind of mammal. The world isn't meant to be uniform.
My deaf friend profoundly deaf got cochlear implant age 2 and now 22 his speech amazing almost like hearing person depend on deaf person if put much effort in speech and theory for 15 years and cochlear implant not successful for every deaf person
Hi Jazzy! Love your channel and your videos. How different is Makaton from BSL ?
My oldest brother Daniel he was born deaf he was the first kid in Australia to get a cochlear implant he was 2 he is now 32 and lives with me and mum
