Putting your partnership first over almost a million subs says so much. 💪👩❤👨 Really hard choice these days, but I think that says a lot about you two.
No doubt the nicest and most authentic people have the hardest time with the dark side of the internet. But you two are a definite force for good out here on the web. It is always great to see you both whenever you chose to post!
I’m sorry you both went through a difficult time. I do want to point out the fact you didn’t post at that time because it didn’t feel well communicated makes it feel so much more authentic. It makes us as the people who support you feel warm to know you’re so genuine. I’m happy you took the break if that’s what you both needed. You deserve time to heal from hard times in life. But I am so grateful you both are back. Thank you for the update and I’m so excited for more to come! P.S I still wear the Jacket you guys put out and I still get compliments on it constantly!
Genuine, “every once in a while” is WAAAY better than all the time, forced videos. Don’t sweat it. Be yourselves. Take care of yourselves and each other. We’ll be here. ❤ “SIGN DUO… 👍🏻”
Holy cow only 5 minutes ago. Btw, thanks for just dealing with your own problems rather than force yourself to post. Be healthy, and take your time guys. Im not the most faithful viewer, but you're a pretty good channel.
I missed you guys, and I'm really happy to see you back, but prioritize yourselves, taking a break for your mentality sake only make sense, you guys didn't really owe us an explanation, but thank you for giving the insight. I'm sorry y'all been struggling since the Pandemic, please take care of yourselves!
“I always prioritize you above everything else.” “I appreciate that!” That was very sweet. Happy to see y’all back, & Java too! Fresh starts are great. “I think it’s all worth it because we’re still together!”
Thanks for being candid with us about your challenges. This is what, i think, your community loves about you two. You are authentic, honest, and just plain real! Look forward to your new content, at your pace.
You guys are doing everything you can. There is no rush. It does take time to edit, create and so forth. But you guys are the best people that actually show how good you are. Give Java love.
We all have been through so much in the past four or five years, and a lot has changed for each of us--you two included. I had to give up some things I was doing regularly during the first couple of years after Covid hit because when everything opened back up, I no longer had the time I had when the world was in lockdown. I daresay the same is true for you as well. I have always appreciated how genuine the two of you are in your videos, and I respect and admire you for not wanting to post something that you feel might not live up to that or that might not be what you want to say. While you may not be posting that often these days, it always brings a smile to my face when a new video from you pops up in my YT feed; it's like a little ray of sunshine. In this world, we have to take those rays of sunshine whenever and wherever and however often they happen to come along. I'm just glad to see that you both are still happy and healthy. (Oh, and Java too!)
So happy to see you guys well and happy. And that's all that matters. Social media is a crazy wild ride that nobody could possibly prepare for. Sorry that you had to go through the negativity. Take care of yourselves and loads of cuddles to Java ❤
I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re glad you focussed on yourselves. We’ll always be around and happy to see your content but your wellbeing takes priority. Nice to see a video again :)
I used to watch your videos years ago, and then rediscovered this channel again last year when I started college (majoring in sign language studies!). I am hearing, and I often watch your videos without sound or subtitles in order to sharpen my receptive skills. But, I had forgotten that I just genuinly love both of your personalities, and often find myself watching videos from year ago for nostalgia reasons. I think deep down, this channel was a major reason I decided to become an interpreter. I hope you continue creating content. You both have taught me so much and for that I am truly grateful. Keep up the great work :)
It’s hard when you are in the public eye, even if it is your choice. Taking time for yourself and making sure your health physically and mentally are okay is the mist important. Thank you for sharing.
Take all the time you need, any time you need it, guys! Before anything else, you (and we too, of course) are HUMAN, with a life and struggles, and worries, and issues outside a couple of minutes on the internet, which as we all know, sometimes can be soooo overwelling. Do what you gotta do to keep yourself as the top priority. As Ryan said, that's why we don't go haha you being genuine is the whole point and if you're not feeling it, you're just being a person. Love you, guys
How Wonderful to have you with us! While you've been gone I had my 64th birthday and two seizures, causing me to forget aging... and you two! I can't even remember most signs :( ! Having us "come back" together will be a great comfort. I truly have Love for you two. Did you say you have a little One now?!? I've lost much than, because This I don't remember... Gd Bless Us, Everyone. 🤗
@@kynn23 Thank you kynn ❤. It seemed better to think a puppy might be a baby than a baby might be a puppy! You are kind to remind me. What a strange year 2024 is being!
I love sign duo and most importantly I love you guys and your well being. Take whatever time you need, however long it may be, and share when you want to share! You guys are people I look up to and always will be. Thank you for letting us know about what's been happening and as your fans/viewers we will continue to be understanding and will always appreciate when your videos are posted. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I totally understand and I really appreciate you taking your time and not posting just for posting.. your videos with conversations and answering questions are so meaningful and nice to watch any time - Ryan put it perfectly in the end about being genuine
While some of us do watch to get insights into communication between the deaf and speaking worlds, you guys also are a great example of just communicating in a relationship. Period. And you are both VERY genuine. You've made yourselves very vulnerable at times, which speaks volumes about your guys' integrity, mutual support for each other, and bravery in this troll-ridden world--especially online. Please know that whether you guys ever make another video or not, all of our lives have been enriched via what you've already put out. You help us have a little more faith in humanity and each other. We hope you feel the love and support that is out here, and, yes, we all do look forward to seeing the pupper dog again...especially when you interpret the doggy comments onto the screen as well!! (It's all about communication!) :)
I admire your courage to go forward and post what happened to you both throughout situations here. It is not easy when there are two sides of coin positive and negative come toward you both. You both have a great love and compassionate people that can use to rely on each other. It is important you both believe in yourself. People out there have their own opinions. Any video creator out there please never ever give your video clip to anyone else. They can change the content. Sign Duo we all are rooting for you to stay strong. We back you 110% Thank you for all of your videos. I enjoyed every one of them.
Glad you put you as first priority. Thats important. You both are genuine role models because of your integrity and humble honest approach, which is so appreciated. My daughter is Deaf and has a verbal boyfriend, see how your videos help open many doors for the world for relationships for people to learn ASL to learn about Deaf culture in hearing world and so much more. Just be you is the best gift we all get. Ignore any negative their not important.Thank you so much!!.
This is insane timing for me because just yesterday after months of not going on your channel I came to check on it. Starting up the learning journey again for sure
Im so sorry that happened to you both (and Java and your families). Im sorry your creativity got crushed as a result of it (I was wondering where you guys went as I never saw the facebook thing). I have really missed your videos and its so good to see you back and smiling! Thanks for the update :) Looking forward to more updates!
I always enjoy your videos. As a hearing person with deaf relatives that I don't get to see often at all; I watch your videos to try to learn as much as I can about the deaf community & continue learning sign language.
You two have been so open and honest about your experiences, and just sharing your lives. Thank you. Always always always take care of yourselves first. You don't owe the public anything - ANYTHING!
Love seeing you guys! Realizing you need a break and not forcing yourself to post despite having nearly 1 million subs says so much about your authenticity. Take all the time you need!
So SO happy to see you folks post but even happier that you took the time you both needed and cared for yourselves. That's super important and we all understand. We'll be here for your next post, whenever that may be.
You guys were part of my inspiration to begin learning AUSLAN many years ago. I was even thinking about you both months ago but couldn't remember who you were or what platform I found you on - just that I remember the impact you had on inspiring my learning. Thank you for all you do, and I hope you find joy every day.
Sorry to hear about any negativity coming your way. I love your channel, and appreciate the honest perspectives you both bring. I am happy to know your are there taking care of one another. That is way more important than regularly posting videos👍😊💕
Happy to see you guys back again. Equally as happy you did what was best for you guys in your real day to day life. While the fact that you’re genuine in your videos is obvious, it’s still only a minute part of your real lives and taking care of the in person relationships you have is so important. All the best.
Hey, you two, thank you for hanging in there. I think your videos are wonderful and encouraging for me as I'm a late deafened adult learning sign. Taking care of yourselves is important and it shows deep maturity and emotional honesty to realize that. Kudos to you both and you've got me as a fan to cheer you on! Sending you best wishes!!!
Really glad to know you both took the healthy route and took some time to yourselves. I am happy to have you back but please don’t feel pressured to post. I and many others will be here whenever you decide to pop in no matter how long 🤗
Regardless if you post a lot or a little we're here for it. Happy to see you're doing well and have taken time when you need it 💜 You are loved, and thank you for thinking of us and giving us an update so we don't worry 🥹
I want to empathize with you both, I also had a really bad lockdown experience and this year is the first year I've gained some sense of normality again. Thank you for taking care of you first and sharing this with us when you felt ready! Take your time coming back if you feel you need time, so many of us will be here regardless if that's 2 weeks or 2 years
Glad to see/hear a post again :) Back when I was just learning asl in quarantine it was nice to find some "casual media" in y'alls channed that I could watch really helped out
I'm sorry you went through a difficult time and I am always thankful just to see you &or how you are doing. It is better to take care of yourselves over anything else because yous are important and we appreciate yous. Thank you for coming back, expressing what is going on, sharing all the information that you did, and for continuing to share! Looking forward to the next video and please do continue to take care of yourselves!
I'm really sorry the both of you went through tough times, glad that things are on the mend. And I completely agree with Ryan. I watch because you guys are authentic and genuine with what you discuss, and because you're so open. I connect with both of you emotionally, and watch because of your personalities! I would much rather you be passionate in what you're posting here than to feel obligated. I have notifications on for a reason, and will be awaiting what you guys post next! Much love!
You guys are awesome! I started watching because I’m learning ASL, but I keep coming back because you guys are genuine people and I appreciate you sharing what like looks like for you guys. Thank you for what you do!
I am so glad you took the time you need, your wellbeing and relationship is what really matters here. I love watching your videos, they are super interesting. Both in how you overcome these issues, and the unconscious bias I have in some things.
My admiration for you both is so high! Thank you for showing the content that you have over rhe years - its clear that both of you are just trying to live your lives and take us along rather than creating content just to get followers and I really appreciate that about both of you! Been here for years and used your videos to keep up on more conceptual signs that adults use so that I could keep learning while my daughter has grown up. She's Deaf and both of us have been on our own ASL journeys and it's felt like I get to catch up with my signing friends when I watch your videos. Please, please, please keep taking care of yourselves first!
OMGGGG!!! I am SO SO SO happy to see this and I hope you realize how much we as fans/admirers/watchers really appreciate that you did post this, that you were willing to share that personal stuff about what put a pause to the channel for a while, and that you seem interested in continuing on with it, doing it the way that makes you both feel good. I absolutely get so much joy watching your vids and it always inspires and helps me to improve my ASL learning so I can communicate with my Deaf friends better. What you said about a core deep down belief that you feel is absolutely true and how that gets totally blown up really hit me - it’s been a tough 2.5 years for me and I feel like I’m finally pushing through to the other side - and it was because of something like that which just rocked my world (in a very bad way at the time). No matter what the people who give you negative backlash say, when they aren’t understanding the full situation, I hope you can both remember to let that slide away and cling to the positive feedback you get. Wishing you both so much positive joy and happiness, together as a couple and as individuals, and with your channel. You are loved and appreciated!
Thanks for being honest. I miss watching your videos. I still have the signduo decal on my car which makes me think of you guys. Sorry that you went through such a tough time but your signduo family is still here. 💜
I appreciate you keeping us updated, and I am glad your priorities are each other and your relationship. You are one of the reasons I am taking ASL at college. I'm only a couple of weeks in, but I'm having a good time. Thank you for reminding me that learning ASL is something I've wanted to do for a long time!
That's very understandable. I'm sorry that situation hits you both that hard. I'm happy to see you both, again! Stay strong! I'm an artist and Creative Block sucks!!! "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it"
You 2 are such amazing people. Such gentle lovely spirits. I am at a loss to understand why people treat each other the way they do. I just watched your old video where the staff member of the drive thru thought you were faking!!!! Please remember you are deaf NOT stupid!! I suspect it was the other way round with that person!!! Please know there are so many of us out here who love you very much and think you are wonderful. There will always be people that need a heart or attitude adjustment. Carry on being you. No changes needed❤ much love and peace from the uk, love Si and Share. Xx🫂❤
I just started following you two last week! I really enjoyed the videos! You both have helped me more than you could ever know 🎉❤I think you are precious! And I'm looking forward to seeing more wonderful videos from you both! God bless 🙌
So glad to see you two looking healthy and well!! Prioritizing yourself is always the right call. My family and I have extra tension due to COVID too, it was such a scary time and so very stressful. Take care!! I’m excited to see what’s next!! Lots of love!!
you two are my favorite youtube channel that i have been following for a very long time, and to know that millions of people got to know you through a cropped 2 minute video saddens my heart. you actually made me really want to learn sign language, and i will in the future since i want to work as a nurse and i think is so important for hard of hearing/deaf people have health care workers who know at least a bit of sign language (i actually live in a city in Sweden that has a big hard of hearing/deaf community, so they are always needing people who knows sign language). i remember when you had merch and i couldnt buy the hoodie although i really wanted to :( keep up the good work and we will always be here for you and java!
I’ve missed you guys. So happy to see your faces again. Definitely you should take care or yourselves and each other first. Know that what you do is important and meaningful to a lot of us! And keep leading with your hearts. That’s what makes you so loved.
Putting your partnership first over almost a million subs says so much. 💪👩❤👨 Really hard choice these days, but I think that says a lot about you two.
Agreed!
That means a lot! Thank you ☺️

Don’t sweat it.
Be yourselves. Take care of yourselves and each other. We’ll be here. ❤
“SIGN DUO… 👍🏻”
Holy cow only 5 minutes ago. Btw, thanks for just dealing with your own problems rather than force yourself to post. Be healthy, and take your time guys. Im not the most faithful viewer, but you're a pretty good channel.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment. 😊

I'm sorry y'all been struggling since the Pandemic, please take care of yourselves!
I started learning sign language 5 years ago because of you.. been here from the start and I am not leaving
❤️❤️
I didn't get past the Alphabet for sign language but I still hold it in high regards. That's why I like watching this channel. ❤
I agree Ryan 👍🏻 We watch for the people Ellen and you are, not for a specific topic!
I agree with Ryan ! Ellen and Ryan can post what their want or not want it their private lives!
“I always prioritize you above everything else.” “I appreciate that!” That was very sweet. Happy to see y’all back, & Java too! Fresh starts are great. “I think it’s all worth it because we’re still together!”
Thank you for the update. As a longtime subscriber, I always appreciate you guys. I look forward to seeing what you have coming next.
You’re both lookin’ great and healthy!! So very happy to see the legendary Sign Duo again!!
Yeah!! We feel great and healthy for sure! Thanks for being here 😃
Thanks for being candid with us about your challenges. This is what, i think, your community loves about you two. You are authentic, honest, and just plain real! Look forward to your new content, at your pace.

You have to put yourselves first. Hope you guys post more, but understand that you guys have lives. :)
Thanks for your warm support 😊
Take care of yourself
That most important
We be here when your better
Love that you guys wanted to be genuine and be authentic.
Ryan is spot on. I definitely watch because of Ellen's authenticity and genuine heart. 🥰 BTW Is Java's car bed a kakebuton? She's fancy. Lol

I am so glad you took the time you need, your wellbeing and relationship is what really matters here. I love watching your videos, they are super interesting. Both in how you overcome these issues, and the unconscious bias I have in some things.
we love it when you’re genuine! take care and take your time! ❤
Super happy to see you guys again!!! 💜💜💜 Keep taking care of yourselves and puppy! 🙌🏽☺️That’s what’s important!!!
Thank you! Will do 😁
My admiration for you both is so high! Thank you for showing the content that you have over rhe years - its clear that both of you are just trying to live your lives and take us along rather than creating content just to get followers and I really appreciate that about both of you!
Been here for years and used your videos to keep up on more conceptual signs that adults use so that I could keep learning while my daughter has grown up. She's Deaf and both of us have been on our own ASL journeys and it's felt like I get to catch up with my signing friends when I watch your videos.
Please, please, please keep taking care of yourselves first!
Hi! So glad to see you. Go at your own pace. We’ll be here.❤️
You approach each other with such care and respect, I wanna learn that from you. Very glad to see you're okay now and coming back, I missed you guys.
Love watching your videos so much!! So good to see this update. It’s so refreshing to watch your honest, genuine content!
Thank you so much!!
Love you guys always good to see you 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
OMGGGG!!! I am SO SO SO happy to see this and I hope you realize how much we as fans/admirers/watchers really appreciate that you did post this, that you were willing to share that personal stuff about what put a pause to the channel for a while, and that you seem interested in continuing on with it, doing it the way that makes you both feel good. I absolutely get so much joy watching your vids and it always inspires and helps me to improve my ASL learning so I can communicate with my Deaf friends better. What you said about a core deep down belief that you feel is absolutely true and how that gets totally blown up really hit me - it’s been a tough 2.5 years for me and I feel like I’m finally pushing through to the other side - and it was because of something like that which just rocked my world (in a very bad way at the time). No matter what the people who give you negative backlash say, when they aren’t understanding the full situation, I hope you can both remember to let that slide away and cling to the positive feedback you get. Wishing you both so much positive joy and happiness, together as a couple and as individuals, and with your channel. You are loved and appreciated!
Thanks for being honest. I miss watching your videos. I still have the signduo decal on my car which makes me think of you guys. Sorry that you went through such a tough time but your signduo family is still here. 💜
Missed y’all muchly but so proud of you for prioritizing yourselves!!
I admire you guys putting your relationship first, and wanting to be authentic! I'm so excited for more videos, love you guys!
Covid was SO hard. It took a lot out of me too. I'm so glad to see you gradually posting more and more! I've missed your videos so much!
Excited to see you guys again! I’m so glad you took/can keep taking time off as makes sense for yall ❤
Thanks for posting, and I'm sorry for what you went through 😢
But I'm happy you are back ❤
I appreciate you keeping us updated, and I am glad your priorities are each other and your relationship.
You are one of the reasons I am taking ASL at college. I'm only a couple of weeks in, but I'm having a good time. Thank you for reminding me that learning ASL is something I've wanted to do for a long time!
That's very understandable. I'm sorry that situation hits you both that hard. I'm happy to see you both, again! Stay strong! I'm an artist and Creative Block sucks!!! "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it"
You 2 are such amazing people. Such gentle lovely spirits. I am at a loss to understand why people treat each other the way they do. I just watched your old video where the staff member of the drive thru thought you were faking!!!! Please remember you are deaf NOT stupid!! I suspect it was the other way round with that person!!! Please know there are so many of us out here who love you very much and think you are wonderful. There will always be people that need a heart or attitude adjustment. Carry on being you. No changes needed❤ much love and peace from the uk, love Si and Share. Xx🫂❤
Will always love you guys, no matter how much you post! Faithful follower ♡
I just started following you two last week! I really enjoyed the videos! You both have helped me more than you could ever know 🎉❤I think you are precious! And I'm looking forward to seeing more wonderful videos from you both! God bless 🙌
Happy you are feeling better and ready for a fresh restart ✨️ 🎉❤❤
So glad to see you two looking healthy and well!! Prioritizing yourself is always the right call. My family and I have extra tension due to COVID too, it was such a scary time and so very stressful. Take care!! I’m excited to see what’s next!! Lots of love!!
I love seeing you guys trying to start fresh, and I love how much you support each other. Always gonna be a fan ❤
you two are my favorite youtube channel that i have been following for a very long time, and to know that millions of people got to know you through a cropped 2 minute video saddens my heart. you actually made me really want to learn sign language, and i will in the future since i want to work as a nurse and i think is so important for hard of hearing/deaf people have health care workers who know at least a bit of sign language (i actually live in a city in Sweden that has a big hard of hearing/deaf community, so they are always needing people who knows sign language). i remember when you had merch and i couldnt buy the hoodie although i really wanted to :( keep up the good work and we will always be here for you and java!
I’ve missed you guys. So happy to see your faces again. Definitely you should take care or yourselves and each other first. Know that what you do is important and meaningful to a lot of us! And keep leading with your hearts. That’s what makes you so loved.
I am glad to see both of you back online. I am glad that you are both doing better. Love you guys!
thank you for your kind comment karen! ❤️
Y'all do what's best for YOU! You are missed for sure. Missed that "Sign Duo out!" :-) Good to see you! ❤
