American Sign Language (ASL) taught by Dr. Bill Vicars who is Deaf/hh. He holds an earned doctorate (accredited) in Deaf Studies from Lamar University in Texas and teaches Deaf Studies and ASL full-time (as of this post) as an tenured full-Professor at a major four-year state university.) These videos do not use sound. The lessons are taught without voice. If the signing seems fast you are encouraged to first study the lessons at www.Lifeprint.com and then come back and watch the video. This is an actual ASL student. You can learn along with her as she progresses. For additional lessons and signing information, visit Lifeprint.com.

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 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!”

Learning ASL in college and I accidentally missed 2 weeks of class so I had to binge videos like this and learned basic conversation, counting, and the abcs in two nights. Never again.

I'm having a blast with these - you're a character Dr. Bill, you make me laugh - but I'm also picking ASL up really quickly.
I don't know any deaf/HoH people at present, but I've always been fascinated by signing & have wanted to learn it - I did learn the alphabet when I was in grade school & it stuck with me, but of course they didn't teach us anything beyond that.
I talk with my hands a lot when I'm speaking, they wave around like crazy, so my thought process is a bit along the lines of "let's give them something useful to do while I'm talking", rather than just waving around, why not have them mirror the sounds with the proper signs? Overall though, it's just for fun & because I love learning new things
This is me. Might as well convert gesturing and stimming to usefulness
This teacher is amazing, makes learning so fun and interesting, Its unique.
I am an ASL college graduate, but I use your videos to refresh my memory on signing if I have not signed in a while.
I've only really followed the first two lessons so far, and already I can hold coherent conversations (with some fingerspelling involved). More than just the engaging teaching method, the lesson plan is amazing, it's so well thought through
Thank you for these videos! I'm a chef and I have customers i was not able to speak to before... I'm still learning.
What an INCREDIBLE resource Dr. Vicars has provided for anyone interested in American Sign Language! Truly exceptional. Thank you so much!
Well now that right there makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Thanks!
@@sign-language You're most welcome, Dr. Vicars! I appreciate your dedication and organization very much. Stay safe and well!
You're a great inspiration. I'm not deaf (I hear everything perfectly) but I'm learning ASL since 7 months as I wanted a pair of years ago, and I'm really enjoying the progress I've got until now. I simply LOVE it.
Thank you for these videos! Your way of teaching is wonderful, I really learn :)
Dr. Bill thank you, you're a great teacher, your videos are so helpful taking ASL

Hello, I'm from Brazil. I'm almost a Priest. I have fluency in LIBRAS. I want learn ASL, now! Your didatic is really good, excited me to learn!
My English is bad, sorry if I was wrong, but I need comment! Thank you! God bless you!
Bill , I've learned so much watching your videos. Your amazing. Thank you.
Bill, you are pretty funny and make learning fun. I hope you know you are very appreciated!
A new video in a while!
We miss you Dr Bill!
The semester started back up again so you'll be seeing more videos over the next couple of months. The videos tend to match the levels of the classes I teach "in real life." This semester I"m teaching ASL 1, ASL 3, Fingerspelling and numbers, and ASL 4 so those are the videos you'll see more of in the next while. Someone suggested that I build some "serious" playlists going from beginner to advanced so I'll be working on those too and will build a webpage to organize them.
@@sign-language so does that mean you will be uploading weekly? This is Lesson 01. Lesson 02 will be next week? Organizing Playlists would be AMAZING albeit time consuming work for you (or assistant) for people who do want to learn chronologically. (I am member of FB groups: Lifeprint and others moderated by your lovely wife. I would be willing to volunteer with organization :D if it could be done remotely. Seriously, I would do it to give back to the community.) Thanks for all you do for "FREE".
Regina,
The uploads I do this semester will not be sequential but rather "gap" filling. I'm working toward having both an "instructional" video and a "narrative practice" video in "high definition" for each of my ASL 1 lessons. Recently someone else requested a graduated playlist starting from basic to advanced of all the videos on my main channel. (ua-cam.com/users/billvicars ).
I think that is a good idea. It is my understanding that playlists can be copied and shared. Thus if you want to organize the 300 or so videos into an easy through hard list it seems to me that I could then turn around and copy/paste that playlist. However, I've noted that sometimes Chrome / Google truncate (cut short) longer lists. So I'll be experimenting with various formats and approaches.
This is fantastic so far. I never thought it would be so intuitive and simple for me to learn ASL. I'm annoyed as a hearing person i didn't try to learn sooner. At least I'm learning now though. Like so many others have said i really cant believe we didnt learn this in school. It must feel really isolating to people that rely on signing to communicate.
So fun coming back to these videos after falling off with my studying. Starting from the beginning is tedious but rewarding since I'm now catching the intentional and unintentional jokes and comments Dr. Bill makes that I didn't catch before. When he mentioned to do his sign name on the side of the head and not the forehead its because the v shape on the forehead means stupid :D
AHHH thank you!! This is so fun and I understand you’re teaching so well 😭 I’ve wanted to learn ASL for a awhile but all the resources have been I consistent and hard to find. Thank you for sharing this wonderful language!!
Excellent video. What a great lesson! Learn the words then put them all together in a short narrative! Wonderful!
Shaloom! I'm very proud to watch your vidéo in asl! I'm burundian
I was laughing so hard at his facial expressions with the name spelling and the meet you :)
Wow algun dia quiero aprender ASL como usted maestro lo Felicito y me gustan mucho sus videos poco a poco estoy aprendiendo
Porque estoy aprendo Español, comprendo tú escritura😊
Man's got the expressiveness of a cartoon character (and I mean that in the best way possible!). Just starting out, but I'm having a great time learning!
Sudarshan,
I accept your comment as a compliment!
Your comment is one of my favorites!
Thank you!
I like these story videos. Looking forward to the next one.
You're very entertaining to watch. Im currently an asl student and I feel like my head is going to explode but your videos really help. You're also very attractive which makes it easy to watch;) no disrespect to your wife.
i love these videos! i learn so quick! i know soooo many things because of these vids!
Hey look that’s me!! I miss this class! Hope you’re doing great Dr. Vicars!
Brianna!
Wonderful of you to pop in and comment!
I'd love to learn how you are doing these days and what you are up to. My email is the same as it was when you took my class or you can look it up at:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/contact.htm
Warm regards and best wishes!
Hi, Bill! I've been learning ASL from your videos for years now. Would it be possible for you to organize playlists which are easy to be navigated for those who are learning ASL on their own? I love your videos, but since you have so many clips by now on your channel, I think some of the videos share the similar content/topics at the same level. Because I tend to take "a break" from my study (I know it's not good :P), I sometimes need to refresh from the certain point, but I'm finding it difficult to find the best video to put me back on track. I really appreciate your effort to provide us this wonderful study resource through your channel and website : ) Please continue to teach us this beautiful language and culture! =D love from Japan x
The idea of a comprehensive, organized, beginner to advanced set of playlists is a good idea. In the near future I hope to create a web page at Lifeprint.com that will have such a list. Thanks.
I hit the "shuffle" key and now they are in order..... You can try that, if I understand what you're asking.
For those of your reading the comment above, I eventually did build a "master playlist" -- you might want to bookmark the official ASLU UA-cam master playlist:

I'm deaf for Tanzania I love sign language for u
Plz my teache
Lol looked at the tv and then i saw the reflection of the other people behing the camera, also thanks for these lessons!
My name is also Brianna😭 when she fingerspelled the same name I was like “No way”!?!?!
This is great, I'm learning sign language
Nice video because I learned something new today
I'm picking up speed! Thank you!
This whole time I was trying to turn up the volume cause I couldn’t hear them 💀 Ik asl now so that’s a plus
Get it Bri!
Haha had to leave a like after that nodding part.
Hi! Love your videos and Lifeprint! I'm farther along in your lessons now but making myself return to basics now and then while I learn to make sure I keep those solid. If you happen to see this, I was wondering, is there a good way to easily communicate that someone (in my case, my mom) is hard of hearing/partially deaf but not culturally Deaf? Would the best way be to (while describing her) sign HH while nodding and sign deaf while slightly shaking my head? Thank you!
You could sign:
MY MOM HH. SHE NOT SIGN.
The fact that she doesn't sign would preclude her being culturally Deaf.
Or you could sign:
MY MOM HH. SHE NOT INVOLVED DEAF COMMUNITY.
Thank you so much for all these helpful videos! I have learned so much and can't wait to learn more. I personally don't know any family or friends that are Deaf. I do have a question for you. Learning from your videos has made me use my non dominate hand to sign a majority of the signs. I spell out my name with my right hand but use most signs using my left hand. Is that okay to do? Thank you for all that you do!!!
I recommend you decide what is your dominant hand and stick with it. If you eat, write, and do most one-handed activities with your right hand then you should probably decide that is your dominant hand and practice doing your signs accordingly.
It is a challenging skill for some people to watch someone facing them and then move the right hand when the other person moves their right hand.
hello, if i was born hearing and want to learn asl. how do i incorporate signing when i talk? do y’all leave out words or do y’all combined them ( as, if, and, it, etc. )
See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/simultaneous-communication.htm

It’s so hilarious 😂
Hello everyone! Good night day.... Asl learning state and English
I'm not HH but I have auditory processing disorder.... How could I sign that? HH works in a pinch and I use it with voice in limited interactions, but I would be curious to know in case more context is important to share with someone.
You could sign something along the lines of:
I HAVE APD. THAT MEANING SOUND PROCESS DISORDER-(fs) PROBLEM.
THAT MEANING I HEAR TALK BUT MY BRAIN TEND-to MISUNDERSTAND MEANING.
==============
Adjust the above description (expansion) to better match your specific situation.
In general though after your conversation partner understands what auditory processing disorder is -- you will likely just spell APD from then on during that conversation or future conversations with that same person.

Can we please have closed captions if possible. I am learning with with my 6 year old and having closed captions really helps
Maybe someday when Artificial Intelligence allows for auto captioning of ASL videos. For now here are some tips to use ASL University to help you (and your 6 year old) learn sign language for free.
First of all, if you haven't found it yet, see Lesson 1 at:

(It works best on a desktop computer).

I am sorry for leaving a comment so late after the posting of this video, but I am trying to parse a few words from 1:35-1:39
The fifth word articulated, in which the dominant hand and the submissive hand, both in 1-D positions, cross the torso while making contact with the dominant hand above (I apologize if I am mistakenly using incorrect terminology as I have just begun learning), I am having a difficult time parsing. Is it a reduplication of a word corresponding t "thing"? If so, in what sense of the word and does it have any other use cases?
Additionally, I was wondering about the grammatical significance of indicating possibility second time in the sentence with the sixth word. Is it meant to indicate a separate idea or (inclusive or) something akin to "One sign can mean (multiple [thing? This is the sign I could not parse]s), possibly several." (I am sorry for doing an English relex of this sentence. It pained me but I do not know yet how to convey the information that I am trying to in a more proper way.)
Thank you for this lesson, I am greatly enjoying the format of these lessons!
(I once again apologize for both the lateness of my question and if my tone was dismissive. I am poor at conveying tone through text. I also apologize for any typos or missing words.)
That is a reduplicated version of "different."
ua-cam.com/video/59tKArncxqo/v-deo.html
By doing the sign two or three times it takes on the meaning of "multiple different."
A good place to ask such questions is the Lifeprint-ASLU Facebook group.

haha 12:28 xD I see what you did there
It is a small but important difference (to me anyway).

Is it okay if i sign while talking to others even if im hearing for practice jus wanna know

Jens Williamson, III (Deaf)
I think that Bill did a good job like professional. The students want to learn about #1 fingerspelling, #2 Sign language and #3 ASL (ASL stands for American Sign Language). It is good for them to learn about. Important: I never say I am deaf at the workplace. I say I am hearing impaired at the workplace like more professional. For Example:
I use hearing impaired than deaf for the job resume. Good Education is Good Life! 👍 Thanks for your time. Have a good year in 2022!

To answer that question you will need to learn both languages and then compare -- or find someone who already knows both languages and ask that person.
Good morning and because both different ASL and FSL between learning right. But very practice ASL learn from teaching in Philippines. Good bye

hey everybody! Timbaland's cousin teaching sign language! come check it out. :D this is one funny video. maybe the most fun activity to learn asl that can be done alone. I am also one grateful humble.
I wish you and your students could be closer to the camera. Hard to see.
