- Sign Language Lessons - Family, Part 1 (ASL Snippets #13) - Let's learn about family! This is the first of a series in the ASL Snippets collection that will cover all of the family relationships. Because there are a lot of signs relating to family. I'm breaking it up into sections. So, have fun watching and learning! In this video we'll cover the story of boy meets girl, boy courts girl, boy marries girl.
Footnote:
American Sign Language is a very rich, complex, and unique language. To accurately learn ASL takes commitment and motivation. UA-cam is FULL of videos by individuals who make "cutesy" little videos that show random signs and claim to be teaching "sign language." Most of them talk, talk talk, sign, talk, talk, talk, sign.... as a result, they are spreading wrong information about what ASL is and how it is used. Some examples - Melissa Schenk, Ryan Moriarty, Kate Maria, etc. Each of their videos have a lot of views, but for each one of them, the information they are spreading is wrong. And because each one of them gets paid for their videos, not only are they "teaching" a language that they know nothing about, they are also making money at the expense of the Deaf. Is it really that big of a deal? What do you think? A minority culture that is often discriminated against and their language treated like some "cutesy quasi-thing" that's not a "real language."
If you have watched and voted thumbs-up on their videos and subscribed to their channels, you're helping to encourage them to continue to take advantage of the Deaf and to wrongly profit off a language that they are teaching wrong. Please, UNsubscribe from them, vote thumbs-down, and leave a comment to encourage others to look for and support accurate sources. Then, take the time to find accurate videos. Ask the video makers where they learned and if they are qualified to teach.
Take a moment to vote thumbs-up and leave a positive comment on videos made by individuals who truly KNOW sign language. Subscribe to their channel and share their videos with others. Please help to actively spread the accurate use of ASL.
On behalf of the Deaf community and those of us who look to have our language, community and culture get the respect they deserve, I thank you.
How awesome. What a smart way to learn sign language! Rather than learning just the signs themselves, you put everything in context. The next time someone ask them to teach them sign language, I will point them to your channel. No one teaches sign language better than Deaf people. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you like my videos. Be sure to share them with others!
Loll!! Great video. Made me laugh. It's been a while since I signed ( had a perforation in my left ear thus making me hard of hearing when I was younger, though got surgery to fix). Had to go through speech and audiology therapy to help me regain full speech ( my hearing is fair/fine now) I am surprised I remembered some of the signs and understood. Now I am eager to refresh myself again in ASL. Thank you, and I subbed
I am waiting with anxious anticipation for what happens next! Your lessons are fabulous, extremely well done, perfectly suited to anyone just learning ASL. I will keep pointing people to your website!
I'm referring to the engagement ring (and also the act of being engaged). :)
I'm glad you like the videos.Thanks for the compliments! Be sure to share my videos with others!
this is awasome haha I know few signs but I was able to follow it haha I love it!
Outstanding!!!
I love your videos! So easy for me as a lefty! Thank you so much.
Thank you! :) Glad you like it. Feel free to share it with others!
4:46, I nearly died. I thought he was cleaning out a gun.....I am an idiot
Love it! Very cute :)!
I only know a few signs and i was able to follow it.
Hi Jason! Sorry, I do not subtitle my educational videos. ASL and English are two separate languages. By subtitling, it creates a crutch, or a dependency on English. It also develops bad habits. Just work to catch what you can and come back later to review. You'll get it eventually! :)
Hello sir... I am a few weeks into a sign language class and I find your videos very helpful. I do have to agree with some of the others however on the matter of subtitles. I am learning a lot but I believe that your videos would be much more helpful to the new signer if you had subtitle. Thank you for work.
Very well done..I love the way you teach that. No need for subtitles but perhaps for people who know 0 sign it may help. I love it. Very much like a Berlitz course for learning languages. No translation you need to figure it out like how a child would learning for the first time. Very well done !!
Awesomeness!
Awesome! Thanks. :)
Really nice!
Hi! I would recommend starting with the first of my ASL Snippets videos and watching all of them. That will lay the foundation for you.
He was great....
Engaged after the 1st date impressive lol ;D
LOL. Very true!
5:46- to like.. 6:04, what was that you signed? I completely understood everything except for that one part :/ I love watching your videos! They're so helpful and you make the signs and their meanings so clear (which is why I'm shocked I wasn't able to get that one sign) and you're such a great story teller!
Yeah, I get that comment a lot - right-handed people like my signing because it's like looking in a mirror for them. Thanks for the compliments!
I would love to sign, but if you could put subtitles so we understand what you signing that would be amazing.
gobbie armstrong that's the point of asl
can you please put subtitle because I have no idea what is going on at all
Minh Tran that's why it's sign language lol
That's why you just have to go on guessing. Some things are clear, and when he knows you're not going to get a word he deos it repeatedly. It's the same with all language learning.... Wherever you go to learn, you'll only learn effectively if the teacher is speaking constantly.
where do I go to learn very basic beginner sentence structure? My sister is deaf and is fluent however she lives far away. I need a foundation before I can understand what is going on in your videos! help please?
Is this supposed to be caption free? I am just learning and need CC.
Ah, you caught me. I forgot the kiss during the wedding ceremony. :( I was going to go back and re-do it, but I remembered the promise I made myself - My ASL Snippets are intended to be "quick and dirty." So, I left out the kiss. Bummer huh? Ha.
I was referring to the forgotten kiss part. I know this is ASL and I follow ASL
I think you have a persistent woodpecker nearby. :)
Engaged and no kiss? Bummer ;) "and they lived happily ever after.." Next up...family expansion! :)
what up bra just sub
If you follow the British Church tradition, I think they don't do the kiss part
ASL -american sign language :P
so you can follow them, but most people who watch this are American :P
how do i know what the heck r u saying?
Go back to Snippet #1 and work from the beginning.
