I studied ASL for many years. I was just about to begin the interpreter program when I had a stroke. I had trouble with speaking and a lot of my memory was affected, especially all the ASL language and culture that I learned. Thank you for your videos with Sarah. You both have helped me so much! ❤❤
Lol, sorry im Australian so we have AUSLAN, (its a little different and i learned some in my youth, ..which brings me to my reason for laughing.) ..im also old enough to remember "dial up " and "chat rooms 😂, giving a whole NEW meaning to ASL ❤ thanks for the (unintentional) trip down memory lane 😂 sending love from Down Under.
WOW, there are few I picked up. Sadly I wished someone could come over to teach me sign language all over. I learned a lot from you guys. I know some, but sometimes I forget what sign what. And I wind up coming into UA-cam and look up sign language. I. An old school from the book.
@@LearnHowtoSign not in Rock Springs, Wyoming. I don't know if they do or not. The only place I could think of is in Casper, WY or all the way to SLC, Utah. I really wanted to learn. Because most of my friends live in another state cause I only sign her when she is here visiting me from California.
Very helpful from a hearing person trying to learning asl. If anyone has any advice on where I can really study this language and learn more? Different channels or websites?? Thank you!❤😊❤
I LOVE this teaching. SO helpful! Thank you! But I'm very confused about the sign you seem to be using for "say/tell," when you say "tell everyone" and "said so many times," where you used the same sign (at least I think so) , but the teaching online show say/tell a being the index do get to the chin. Can you help me understand your sign? It looks like you're using the smashed "O" and touching your dominant forearm into your non-dominant hand. I could be way off-base. TIA
Great question! The sign that I use there is INFORM so the concept of the sign follows along with its meaning of the phrase. Yes, I could have signed SAY (which would be totally fine to use) but the meaning had a deeper concept.
I have a question about something Sarah signed in the introduction. She was asking what you were focusing on, but she seemed to be signing "what focus today?" Based on the training, I would have signed, "today focus what." I know she's right and I'm wrong (newby here), but I was wondering if you could help me understand the difference. Thanks, Sue
Hi, again. I was trying to follow your signs, and after Sarah introduces her teacher as Don, you had a reaction where your dominant hand grabbed and swept away from your nondominant hand. The note said the transcribed dialogue was in the description, but I can't find it anywhere. Can you repost it? Thanks!

Hello, I have a question. I'm trying to learn ASL to communicate better with customers and friends, but I struggle to make the facial expressions that go with questions-- how important is my face? Even in conversations with hearing folks, I forget I'm supposed to smile with people, or frown when they tell me sad stories. I've been practicing making the right faces in the mirror for like 30 years and it's no good, I still forget in the moment which face I'm supposed to make and I freeze up. (Wearing a mask during Covid really helped my social life, who gets to say that lol). I'm afraid I won't ever be able to sign properly because my face is always blank-- is this something I need to be worried about? Will people still be able to understand me if all my signs are correct?
Hearing person learning ASL here. From what I learned in class and through one of these videos, most deaf people can’t read lips so it’s important for hearing people to realize this and not assume it. Better to write on a piece of paper back and forth. I’m sure there is a way to learn how to read lips if you wanted to though and I hope you do if you want. But more hearing people need to understand that deaf lip reading is a misconception, I’ve had to tell so many people this after taking up ASL and learning about deaf culture. Bless!

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon.
I'm always so happy when I catch most of what you are signing! Thanks to both of you for all you do to help us learn ASL.
I could cry by how perfectly timed this upload is for me
Many thanks 💜
Love this!

Loll yeah, age, sex, location. I always have that in the back of my head.

Silent Chats are great way to practice! Look in your area to see if any are offered.

@@LearnHowtoSignAwesome. I knew there was a better word, but I couldn't figure out what to look up. Thanks!
Please translate the last question what's the sign meaning
yea, I didn't get the "next week" sign either
Sorry I didn’t understand the rhetorical question one can you make another video on it?

No talking in conversation and i dont read lips. I need someone to teach how to read lip. Im 98 percent deaf bilaterally and zero made sense.

Too fast
You can adjust the speed down to 0.25x so it plays at 1/4th the speed. 😊👍🏾
