    Hey Sign Fam! Just wanted to mention that we do have captions on this video. For mobile users, it is the symbol with 3 dots. For pc/mac users it is the "CC" button. Thanks so much for all the support. Don't forget to ask any questions you might have about Ellen, myself, or our 8 year high school sweetheart relationship! Sign Duo OUT!

      When I was in private school (4th-6th grade), we all were required to learn ASL, because a good number of students had deaf parents. We also would go on trips during the holiday season and put on concerts (singing) and we were required to also sing in ASL. It was one of the coolest experiences in my life. Unfortunately when I graduated out of 6 grade and went to a new school, no one around me knew ASL and the school didn't teach it, (even though we have a major Deaf College in our city). I ended up forgetting everything, but I am now on a mission to learn it for good this time around.

      It’s the best feeling in the world when your partner still checks you out years into your relationship. It shows they’re still interested, and nothings better than someone who never loses interest in you.

  • @echomoon_
    @echomoon_ 5 років тому +58

    I think a (potential) partner's unwillingness to learn sign language may imply that they're not really THAT interested and invested in their (deaf) partner and doesn't take their struggles seriously and seems like (to me) invalidating a deaf person's experience with life, and even if that's not the case, communication would still be a problem.
    So honestly kudos to you guys, and 8 years too!! I hope I can go 8 years and many more with my bf

      Lillian J. C. I have a friend who is hearing but can sign and TAed ASL courses at my university, and she’s told me before that she really hoped that whenever she next dated that her boyfriend would learn some sign since it’s important to her. Later on when another one of my friends started dating her, I told him about that and tried to teach him how to sign “I love you” since I felt she’d really like that, and he just responded back, “sorry dude, but I’m just not interested at all in learning that,” like dude, it’s three signs, and two of them are pointing to people. You could even condense it into one sign. It won’t create communication barriers since they’re both hearing, but the level of unwillingness kinda made me sad a bit.

    I can’t believe I’ve never come across your channel before. I’m 13 years old and a little less than 3 years ago I started teaching myself sign language with apps and I even saved up money to buy an English to ASL dictionary. I became extremely passionate about it. Any time we’re in public and there is someone simply using their hands to speak in a conversation, I look over hoping they are deaf because I am so interested in deaf culture. I have even started conversations with deaf people. I’m not going to lie, Switched at Birth is what sparked my passion for American Sign Language. I think it’s amazing that you started a channel to help educate people on deaf culture. Thank you so much! I just subscribed! ♥️♥️♥️

My best friend when we were about your age was too, as her dad was losing his hearing and almost 100% deaf by the time we reached high school. We are now 27 yrs old, still best friends, and she is a certified sign language interpreter with a masters degree. Right now she’s interpreting at a school for a little 4th grade girl. She loves it and ASL interpreters are needed these days, maybe one day you could go into that field of work too 😊

    Could you talk about how Ryan became deaf/why he was born deaf? And also what he sounds like if he would try to talk with his voice? Really curious since he seems to mouth the words perfectly, so it would seem kinda logical that he could just talk out loud as well... Obviously not the case but just wondering :) And what kind of job would he be able to have/what is he doing? Just skip these if it's too personal! Great work so far with taking away some of the 'mystery' and making it easier for us hearing people to understand what it's like, keep it up :)

    • @junbh2
      @junbh2 5 років тому +72

      I don't know what he speaks like or if he speaks but I do know that mouthing words is _completely_ different from speaking them. Mouthing words you can copy visually exactly how it looks. You can just mouth the visible part. Speaking uses your tongue and teeth and nose and throat in all kinds of extremely precise and invisible ways. So usually if a deaf personal can make the visible, lip, parts of a sentence tells you pretty little about whether they can make all the invisible, internal parts that make it sound like the spoken language.

    It’s so interesting how I’ve already learned a couple signs by just watching 2 of y’all’s videos, asl is such an interesting way of communicating.

    I’m so happy for your relationship! My parents were a hearing/deaf couple too. My mom (deaf) never learned sign langue though, she just read lips!
