    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 small monthly 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!”

    Loved the video and timing was perfect as I’m sitting in the airport w/ nothing to do because of delays 🤓

      I recall the days when "Deaf" (or perhaps not so deaf) used to go around passing out ABC cards in or selling pencils in airport waiting areas -- hoping to get donations. I surprised the heck out of a fellow one time when he handed me a card and I started asking him questions in ASL. He could barely sign so I get the feeling that either he grew up oral and was just trying to survive -- or he was faking being Deaf.
      I do have a lot of respect though for entrepreneurism -- even if it is just selling a pencil.
      You don't see that sort of thing in the waiting areas any more now that the security system only let's ticketed passengers and airport people past the security gate.

    I like that newest sign for step dad or step mom. My Deaf instructor signs second-dad using the ordinal (I think?) second with index and middle finger. Thanks Dr. Vicars!

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for sharing! The "2nd"-[thumb-&-index-finger-version]+DAD is my favorite but as a lexicographer I love it when students share what their in-person instructors are teaching (such as using the index and middle finger version of 2nd). It helps me keep my thumb on the pulse of the broader signing community and also become aware of regional variations. What is interesting to me is that the person who showed me the evolved, one-handed combo sign for STEP-DAD -- is a friend (Deaf) who has (or had) two dad's in her life and frequently needed to sign "STEP-DAD." Thus she signed the concept hundreds of times a year more often than people who don't have to communicate about and distinguish between dads and step-dads in their lives.

    Hi! I am jack, and I wanted to give you some facts about me. I learn ASL in high school, and am currently in asl 2. I really am obsessed with asl, and deaf/HOH culture. I really like your videos because they are very educational and help me learn so much about ASL. 1 question for you. The question is, do you know a guy named Joe Wheeler? He is also deaf and is an educator. you're the best!

    the sign for sign is it ever the two fingers pointing towards each other in circle motion? Or is the correct way the two fingers pointing upward and circle motion? or are both correct?

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  9 місяців тому +1

      I'd suggest that neither are correct. The position is more relaxed and half-way between the two "extremes."
      See: lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/s/sign.htm and scroll down to the index fingers version. Notice that my index fingers are at an angle -- not straight up nor straight sideways.
      If you do the sign with the index fingers pointing sideways it looks a bit too much like an old version of "go" and/or "come." (No one that I know of actually uses that old version but it is in some of the early signed English dictionaries.)

      @@sign-language Thank you for clearing that up. I was seeing other people do it in the ways I commented about. also thank you for sending the link so I could see the sign for sign. i see now what you were talking about.

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  9 місяців тому +1

      Try this: Sign all three versions (up, angle, side) and pay attention to the sensation in the tendons in your wrist. Notice how the "straight up" and "pointing to the other side" versions cause a teeny, tiny bit more tension? (Most people don't notice it unless you actually point it out to them). Now multiply that micro-bit-of-tension over a lifetime and thousands of repetitions and you can understand why the "Deaf" version of that sign naturally evolves to use the most relaxed (tension free) angle of the wrist possible.
