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.

This is an amazing set of questions, Last week I at an event by the Deaf Commission, they talked about their upbringings, then they showed the video "I Am Deaf Enough", and I cried deeeeply through it, it was an amazing experience, epiphany~
That's a good example of "coarticulation", anything signed immediately after "Integral". Oh, could metathesis include direction of rotation, for "people" "sign" "America", etc.

The sign to change your mind - can that be used casually, such as changing your mind about where you want to go for dinner, or is it more like a mindset shift? Or either? I tend to use "change decision" when I change my mind.
If you are referring to the sign that uses both hands in curved-L shapes near the top of your head and makes a rotational movement similar to rotating a hat on your head -- that sign is more like a mindset change or a paradigm shift. For most typical / everyday situations involving the concept of "change my mind" I just sign "I change mind" -- so does my wife and every skilled signer I've ever met -- or at least I can't recall anyone seeming even a little bit hesitant to use the "change mind" signs to mean "changed my mind." "Change decision" could be useful as an expansion or for explaining the idiom of "change my mind" to a second language learner but once someone knows the idiom (in either English or ASL) the signs "change" and "mind" work great. A scenario when "change decision" would be really good would be something to the effect of a speaker stating that a committee changed their mind (regarding a decision or plan to go ahead with a course of action). In such a scenario an interpreter could sign "change their decision" and it would be very clear.
@@sign-language Perfect, thank you! I did feel that change decision was rather formal, but kinda disliked change mind. I have to just accept it, I guess!
In your playlists, I see there is ASL 1-4, and after that there are other categories, but I have also seen videos with the description of, “recommended for ASL 5 and up”- do you have videos that would be considered as teaching “ASL 5” content? Also, do you offer paid teaching/tutoring virtually by any chance?
I've seen your comment. You are welcome to email me at billvicars@aol.com and describe to me what your goals are regarding ASL 5 content. I'll be building more ASL 5 content over the next two years. At present I'm not seeking to do any one-on-one paid video tutoring with people that I don't already have an existing relationship -- and have several in the queue waiting. Quite a few ASL tutors out there that can be found via a few Google searches though.
2:21 With context of 1 minute of video prior to this time, my deaf co-worker does not understand the "i" hand double movement sign/meaning. Can you elaborate?
"Intern." You can see that sign around the seven minute mark of this video: ua-cam.com/video/Qtx9dCOT86o/v-deo.html The base hand varies. Sometimes it is an index finger (based on the sign for "practice" or "train." Sometimes the base hand is a loose/flat hand based on a version of the sign for "business." I prefer the sign version that uses fist or "S" hand since based on the concept of "work."
He has playlists going right from level 0. He’s a fantastic teacher, if you go through them you’ll understand this video. It’s very time consuming to caption and then us learning might rely on it too much.
Lynneah is in an interpreter training program. Thus our signing (unless closely following a script) will tend to be more advanced (and harder to follow) than if I were signing with a less advanced student.

Loved this video! Great finger spelling practice too 😂❤
Thanks for the video. One of those I need to watch again to make sure I caught everything :)

Good question and answer!

"Intern."
You can see that sign around the seven minute mark of this video:
ua-cam.com/video/Qtx9dCOT86o/v-deo.html
The base hand varies. Sometimes it is an index finger (based on the sign for "practice" or "train."
Sometimes the base hand is a loose/flat hand based on a version of the sign for "business."
I prefer the sign version that uses fist or "S" hand since based on the concept of "work."
Why is there no closed captioning on this video? Would really like it.
if you don't understand the signing here, you should watch a more beginner video

Harder to follow 😢

We gotta put in more focus and more hours especially irl 8:58
