![Dos and Don'ts of Interacting with the Deaf Community [CC]](/img/n.gif)
Thank you! I've never had "loan words" explained---especially when a letter is omitted i.e. "job". Thank you! And, thank you for reassuring that multiple signs may be used for the same word--thus keep flexible.
Very welcome, I try to cover things that I wish I had known earlier as a student years ago. I'm glad you found the video helpful and thanks for watching 🙂
When is the new video coming
@@ChrisGorges
It is just my brain or is signing way easier to learn than a spoken language???
For me, learning sign was much easier than learning another spoken language for sure
Yup exactly
There is no auditory element. Listen can be one of the hardest parts of learning a spoken language
It depends on how your brain works. If you are a more visual spatial person or linear spoken person.
Yes
I found out of I have a deaf neighbor and over the pandemic with all this extra time I decided to try and learn ASL to make a connection with my neighbor. She has become a good friend of mine but I still have so much to learn. I have really enjoyed and appreciated your videos. The words are useful common ones and you are a good teacher in that you make it easy to understand and provide helpful learning tips and advice. Thank you!
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that you are taking this opportunity to learn sign language
that's really nice to hear, something sweet and kind! Good job!
That is so nice that you want to communicate with you neighbor. In my 20's I had a deaf co-worker that no body took the time to learn ASL to at least say "Goodmorning" to her. I'm sure she felt very lonely as I often saw. So I decided to talk to her by writing and we became good friends afterwards. Then she would sign some words and I learned the ASL alphabet that enabled me to spell and ask for correct signs for what I wanted to say. Thus is how I became fluent enough in ASL to talk a storm with her😂. Eventually I was able to translate my supervisers instructions to her😊.
1:35 - "Away"
2:22 - "Big"
2:47 - "Tall"
2:58 - finger sign for "Big"
3:26 - the colour "Blue"
3:37 - the feelings "Sad", "depressed"
4:25 - the verb "Can"
4:36 - the noun "Can".. like tomato sauce can🥫
4:50 rubbish "Can" 🗑
5:45 "Come"
6:02 the direction "down" ⬇️
6:29 the verb "Find"
6:53 "For"
7:07 "Funny"
7:51 the verb "Go"
9:02 "Help"
Quick tips: Copy the signs as they are shown, watch the video more than once, and share with a friend that you can practice with 🙌
Thanks for the tips! And by the way I love your videos they are so easy to understand and you have made sign language so easy to learn. I have gotten so much better at ASL because of these, thank you so much!

@@abigalewatterson6123 You're welcome! I'm glad that you are finding the videos helpful and that you're making great progress
THANK YOU SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH CHRIS GORGES FOR THE CANNEL. I WOULDN'T PLAY IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THIS CHANNEL OF [ASL] OR [SIGN] CUZ OF MY [HOME WORK] AND YOU SOW THE BEST SIGN!!!!!
@@xaviersacharzewski746 Thanks, I’m glad that you are finding the videos helpful
When i told my mum that i am learning sign language even though i am not deaf she said that this is so sweet of me😊
That is great, I hope that you continue learning 👍
I have also told my mom and she was so proud of me
@@nasiiraade1206 That's awesome
aww thats so cool!
Respect 😎👍🏼
My younger sister is on the spectrum, after speech therapy for many years as a child she speaks very well. However she hates talking she hates listening even more due to an auditory sensory problem. So she began learning sign language and using asl to communicate with certain peers and our mother. Although her not talking frustrated me, I finally decided to learn some ASL so I can communicate with her when she is overstimulated.
That is great that you are learning ASL for your sister
@@ChrisGorges wow thank you! I really hope it helps us grow closer.
I am a newly-recruited teacher of deaf students herein Pakistan. In my pursuit of learning signs , I reached into your channel . Having watched your first video , I thought it would be unfair to not record feedback for you , my venerated mentor !
I am blessed to have you as a virtual mentor !
I'm one of those who speaks spanish natively, also speaks English, has no friends with any disability or verbal problem, and there's no "immediate need" for me to learn this, yet I always found it interesting, and now I started learning it thanks to this channel (not only that but also know no person I can practice it with 😂, no friend, neighbor, I'm just practicing with myself thinking "yes I'm doing awesome, if I was on the other side I'd totally understand what I'm saying" but in reality I have not a clue lol).
Found it really easy to learn (can't imagine how easy would it be if one used it frequently) and also think it's always helpful to know how to community with even more people (now if someone, myself included, needs help, I'll be able to understand it and react better to it)
I'm trying to get some basics of ASL because of this ONE lady who shops at the grocery store I work at. I have already learned how to say "Thank you/you're welcome" from her but I think it would make her day if I know stuff like "help" and "how much" :D
My local technical community college has asl classes, levels 1-3, I’ve wanted to take them for years and watching your videos has really boosted my confidence!
That’s great!
Thank you for describing the signs and showing them at the same time.
My mom is deaf in one ear so this is very helpful for me, my whole family is having to learn ASL and this helped a lot. Thanks.
I just drew notes for all of these signs in my notebook. SO HELPFUL to pay attention to draw the signs and to have notes to review!
That's great!
Wow that's pretty talented!
Check out Sutton SignWriting! It's a writing system for ASL. Or if you want a system that you can type, try Stokoe notation. I've been using both of those to study ASL and it really helps to have an easy consistent way to write signs down.
My favorite sign so far is "funny" :D that one had me real excited. Thank you for your dedication, it means a lot 💕✌🏼
That's great, thanks for taking the time to learn some sign language
Love your videos! I'm trying to teach myself ASL during quarantine and I LOVE how you include the different variations. I find that very helpful. I also like how you show the proper hand-shapes. That's also very helpful!
Thanks, I'm glad you are finding the videos helpful
I am now trying to learn signing for my downs sydrome 28 year old son his school used the pod book for many years and his generation of students miss out on signing ,wish us luck ,never to late for anyone to learn something new
I really appreciate you making this video Chris - THANK YOU!!! It was extremely helpful. Subscribed and Liked for sure!!! :)
Your videos are the most helpful that I've found! You explain so well. Thank you so so much!!
You're very welcome 🙂
Thank you very much for this sir! you are a hero. I just started learning ASL and you explained it comprehensively and smooth. You gain a subscriber! ❤
Asl is its own language (grammar, syntax etc). There are 3 different ways (usually) that people sign. ASL,PSE,and SEE. They’ve changed the PSE if I remember correctly. I agree with Samantha that it depends on how your brain functions.
Thank you! I am learning ASL and have always puzzled on these simple, but often used words. 👍
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you Chris, I learned a lot because you don't go so fast like the others!
That's great 👍
I think “with” is a high frequency word and also could you do a video about common verbs? I’m learning sign during quarantine and you are a great teacher!
Yep, "with" would definitely be a high frequency word. I'll be sure to add common words to my list of videos to make. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for this video, very clear, and I also appreciated the point about regional signs
Thanks, I'm glad you found the video helpful
This is one of the most enjoyable lessons I had, I’m genuinely interested in learning languages and I was planning to learn ASL yrs ago but I was lazy, it’s easier than i thought , I know it’s the first lesson but it’s fun I loved it
Thanks! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks Chris - really useful. In this series will you be showing how to put the signs together in phrases (sign syntax)?
In this series I will be focusing primarily on individual words and signs, however I may include some short phrases to show the differences in the various meanings and how context can change the sign that would be used. Thanks for learning and let me know if you have any other questions
That would be helpful I agree with Dr Ray
Very kind and helpful, thank you! I am trying to learn the language (as a hearing person) and this video was great.
Thanks, I'm glad that you found the video helpful
Hey Chris, just watched you video. wow it is amazing, its so cool how there are different ways to sign the same word in different ways. keep it up can't wait to see and learn more from you
Thank you
Chris Gorges anytime 😉
I love your videos. I am learning so much, so fast watching all your videos, and I want to thank you very much.You make it so easy to learn
Thank you, I'm glad that you are learning so much from my videos! Keep up the great work yourself :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I CHULDN'T PLAY IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THIS CHANNEL. SO JUST THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR THE CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I made a presentation tonight and presented it in asl and english! It helped me learn some new asl words
That’s great 🙌
I found another sign language channel the other day. I'm sure I'll be able to learn a lot
That's great, which channel was it?
These videos has helped me a lot during my asl journey.
That's great
Wow, your hands are huge. Also thank you, I made a deaf friend recently and I’ve been wanting to learn so we can communicate easier, but she’s not so confident in how well she can teach me herself.
Keep it up and I’m sure your friend would do a great job sharing with you her knowledge of the language
Thanks so much for sharing 🙏
thanks you I will be needing this
Hey Chris,since this pandemic I trying to learn sign since I knew that I would want to hear everyone’s experience.is it ok if you can link me both your finger spelling ideas?
ua-cam.com/video/dTjJz3Jgb2k/v-deo.html
I’ve only watched it once and I can already remember them!
Great work!
Ty,,I love the way you explain it to us,,ty,ty,ty,,💝
You're very welcome, thanks for learning 👍
You are soooo right! Just with high frequency words one can be fluent in any language. Professor X here. Stay safe.
Thanks
Thank you!
This is a really great references I really enjoyed those I wish I had a book but this is way better
I I’m learning Portuguese rn and I wanted to learn 2 languages at the same time but didn’t want my brain mixing them up, so I chose ASL since my brain can’t really mix it up with a verbal language
this is very helpful!!!! your lively voice definetly helps for visualisation, and the timecodes too because after watching the vid i can easily recap everything that i didn't remember :) thank you!! although the number "116" in the playlist scares me... xD
I’m glad that you found the video helpful 👍
@Chris Gorges I noticed you used your left hand. does it matter which hands you sign with when practicing these words?
It took a while to realize that this video is a mirror image of the original video. I ended up learning in reverse, too. LOL!
Hi there! These videos have really helped! I’m wondering, if you were to sign double letters, in another comment you said people sign one on top of the other or slightly next to it. Could I just sign it in the same space and pull my hand back slightly, and push it back? I believe this is called knocking, so would that be considered yelling? Thanks for all the help!
It tends to vary from person to person and can sometimes be regional, but in our experience most people will slide the letters slightly to the side, although it can sometimes depend on the location of the double letter (middle or end of word/name) or the letter itself (L vs S). "Punching the letter is also done too though, so I would just emulate how others in your local community sign double letters :)
Thanks, this was helpful! I was looking for the word "for."
You're welcome, I'm glad you found the video helpful
Same. Almost every tutorial I've seen doesn't include basic words like: for!
keep it up! i love what your doing i think that ''you'' is used a lot
Thanks! "You" is a great hugh frequency word
@@ChrisGorges i really dont want you to stop what you are doing,i learned SO MUCH FROM YOU!
@@bethanybrookeszz956 That's great, keep up the great work! If you'd like, I also host group practice sessions, group classes, and teach one on one. Feel free to reach out to me on social media (@aslbasics) or you can email me at chris@aslbasics.com
Thank you for explaining the different meanings and signs for each word. I do wish you had maybe shown the signs a bit slower or from other angles- sometimes it gets confusing to know what the differences are between signs and that usually helps me. I know this video is older though 😅
thank you chris, very cool!
Thanks
Thank you for your time
Thanks for watching and learning some ASL
You're very easy to learn under. I hope to learn enough to learn to sign praises and worship songs. I love to watch them it's so beautiful and I can feel the presence of God. Do you have any tips learning tips to sign songs easily and faster. Thank you for teaching me.
Here is a playlist focused on learning a language faster that you might find helpful ua-cam.com/play/PL2rZQvyPycXJNk-lV6eSeFW18RN2jbjF8.html
Hi Chris, your videos are very helpful, thankyou. Would you be up for teaching through video chatting? To help me with communication?
Yes, I hold weekly group sessions every Wednesday and also offer 1 on 1 lessons. You can learn more about both on my website here www.aslbasics.com
hey i just wanted to say i'm finding your videos very helpful in learning ASL. my idea to learn actually came from a fictional character and i thought "hey i wanna do that" so i started looking on youtube today and i found your videos =) thanks for making these super easy vids. keep up the great job!
That is great that you are finding the videos helpful in learning ASL! Just out of curiosity, who was the fictional character that inspired you to learn?
@@ChrisGorges sorry about the delayed reply! his name is Hearthstone and he is from the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan. Rick is one of my favorite authors and i thought it would be cool if i knew sign incase i had a relationship with someone like Hearth^-^
I have a question if I want to sign a word like "brittle" how would I sign the double t?
Some will sign the letter "t" twice one on top of the other, or others will slide the "t" over slightly to show the double
@@ChrisGorges great answer very helpful thank you.
@Lalala Lala that is a great question thank you for asking!
thank you
Great tutorial
Thanks
Did you ever do a video with stuff in your house. like door, doors, lock, window, closet, television, couch, chair and so on ? All rooms in the house. video helping with shopping?
I don't need to learn learn the Sign Language but I am learning just in case when I meet a specially abled person he/she might feel special.
I decided to learn it in case I have a deaf or language disabled child.
Are we supposed to mirror you or make sure we use the same hand you did? For example if you’re using your right arm, I’ll see it on my left since you’re facing me. In that case, would I use my right arm too, or should I mirror you and use my left?
Thank you
Welcome :)
So good
I am a librarian and would love a video about ASL for librarians and to use in libraries.
I'll try to cover that in a future video, thanks for the suggestion
Hey, chris what is the sign for upstairs; downstairs?
it's funny how as an italian many of these gestures are incorporated in our daily hand gestures!
Haha
What words would you consider as high frequency?
Greetings, "small talk"
I HAAVVVEEEE NOOOOO IIIDDDEEEAAA
Ty,,😁
You're welcome :)
Your urgent help quickly became AMEN!!!
You are awesome
lol, thanks 😀
I would say that your sign language is gorgeous (gorges) !
lol
This is just a question why do you take interest in sign?
I want to learn a new language and I find it exciting that I am learning so fast
What’s the difference in the last 2 signs at 3:50? I can’t find the difference in hand motions and I don’t understand how they’re both “depressed” but they’re different emotions. Could it be that one of them is an emotion while the other is more along the lines of “I have depression”?
Could you please do phrases such as “not my problem” which I do know how to do that one. If you already have one like that could you send me a link, please. Thank you! Have a stellar day
Hi my name is Daniel Benjamin long , what is the meaning of blue Depression ? When is the next high frenquency words video coming out
This is Daniel Benjamin long, did you know when the 2 frenquency words coming out
This is Daniel Benjamin long, when is the part 2 of frequency words coming
This is Daniel Benjamin long , when is the 2 nt. 10 high frequency words coming ?
My son has a severe speech delay but is picking up on asl so fast
Sounds like he might have an auditory processing disorder or verbal apraxia. Both of those will cause speech delay that doesn't affect signing ability.
My sudden urge to master sign language. Lets see how long that lasts
lol
I'm confused by the 3rd and 4th signs for "sad." I get the color blue and the first sign for sad, but the next two appear to be the same. What's the difference?
That smile lmao 5:11
I saw this video and thought it would be interesting.
High frequency words!
Could hurt the ears or shatter glass?
This is Daniel long , when is the 2 frenquency words part 2 coming out
this might sound dumb, but you said your from California and I'm from NY are some signs different?
As with many languages, there are variations even within the same country, and sign language is no different. Although most of the signs are the same, you may come across different signs for the same words/concepts in different areas
Do you know any new signs for community
Hi! I know this vid is old but are you left hand dominant or using left hand signs so it’s not reversed to the viewer?
Very interested to know.
Thanks,
Gianni❤
I’m right hand dominant and was using the front facing camera on an iPhone for this particular video
@@ChrisGorges Thanks Chris! I’m left handed and am studying ASL with my right hand. I thought that might make my signing more “authentic”. 😉
Almost all signing videos with signs that use greater motions I have to interpolate which direction I need to move my sign in order to come across correctly.
Thanks again for the info and great videos.
Gianni❤️
🦅💁🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ What about the sign for "run"? It as well has several meanings behind it as well. I'm just wondering about it
Yes, there are nearly a dozen different signs for the English word run (ie. running nose, refridgerator is running, a running river, running in a political race, physically running, etc)
@@ChrisGorges 🦅💁🏻♂️Yes, and I also did liked your video, and the information you shared was very helpful too. Its so interesting that common English vocab has different variations to interpret in ASL especially the smaller words. I'll keep this info as one of my references. Thank you for sharing! 😉
yeah, I'm learning this in case I ever meet a Deaf person so I know how to communicate, as well as learning 4 other languages- y'know, in case-
is I say "sad" in asl, Will/can I sign blue?
The video is mirrored right? I hope im right because I've been using my right hand, dominant hand, whenever you sign something
If you're right hand dominant, then yes, you would sign predominantly with your right hand
I took the VIP subscription. I can't find where I log into your website.
Thanks for letting me know, if you joined here on UA-cam you can access the VIP content in our community tab of the channel here ua-cam.com/users/ChrisGorgescommunity
How should i start learning sign language?
I noticed for the word blue there was 2 of almost the same sign for the sad one, only difference was you pulling your middle finger back. I was wondering if that meant anything special or if it was literally just another sign that means the same thing.
i couldn't tell any difference. 😅 maybe it's kind of like a dialect thing?
Do these signs work for illnois?
Yes, these are very common signs that are used across the United States, however, there may also be regional signs that are more commonly used in your area
@@ChrisGorges um im sorry this might sound dumb, but what are regional signs?
@@alexiarenteria8755 I think he means sign variations that are used more often in your area. Region is a synonym for area that you live in.
Whenever I'm trying to sign, I feel like I'm doing very weel, but then I forget all the signs by the end of the video. I tried watching it multiple times but nothing works. Any tips?
Not sure if you’ve already seen this one, but here is a video I did about how you can remember what you learn ua-cam.com/video/yW894mRSab4/v-deo.html
Thought he said Chris Gorgeous, haha :)
Ik i probably wont get an answer but does anyone know if his videos are mirrored?
I don’t think so
Most of the videos are not but this one is because I used the front facing camera to record
@@ChrisGorges thank you so much!
I appreciate and respect that you put this video together however you shouldn't talk to teach sign
