I think something especially people who aren't multilingual don't always realize is that speaking a language doesn't at all mean you are able to teach it to people who don't know it. Especially when it comes to a native language - it's something you learn as a baby/young child just by picking up what's happening around you and it's very intuitive, so you don't always KNOW stuff like grammar rules because you didn't need to learn them formally, you just instinctively know what's right for the most part. So somebody who is qualified to teach a language would be able to tell you "What you said was wrong because it broke x grammar rule" but a native speaker who isn't qualified to teach might just be able to say "What you said was wrong because it just felt like it didn't fit".
wickedest-witch I completely agree with grammar rules.
PERIOD

I just wanted to say you inspired me to learn asl. I’m currently taking ASL 2 and will hopefully take ASL in college. I haven’t signed with a Deaf person in real life, but I hope in the future I can.

Lol I learned it to speak to a girl in high school... trust me. It was worth every hour of learning. Best decision of my life.
Keep at it.👍🏻
Thanks, I will😊
Awesome! Go for it! I’m ASL 2 level but need some reviews. I plan to take ASL in college
What’s up babe
@@savannahrobbins8934 Update: I’m transferring to a college that has sign language! I can’t wait to learn more since I’m very rusty on the basics.
I actually really love that you don’t teach asl because I’ve found it really hard to just find youtubers who just sign and do casual videos with specifically American Sign Language and who don’t revolve their entire channel around the language. If people want to learn asl they can easily find numerous channels that will teach them it, it’s harder to find videos to just enjoy the video and the content while also getting “practice” through like immersion of the language.
I'm learning people don't really know what it takes to teach a language. I'm an oralist who also signs and people are always telling me to teach. I am a lazy signer and suck at fingerspelling (suck at spelling in general) but to them, not knowing sign, they think I'm the best signer. *roll eyes* Also, I love watching your videos! Makes me so happy each time you post!
Teaching is hard! I still get people wanting me to teach ASL on my channel and I'm like ??? Why??? 1, I'm not fluent. 2, I don't know the first thing about teaching, lol. I still make too many mistakes to even attempt. I only "taught" once and that was showing Christmas signs on Jessica's channel and even that was pushing it for me.
Rikki Poynter I agree! I’m learning ASL and I have a group in my town and my “teacher” is not a teacher and she says it can be hard sometimes. You and Cheyenna should do a collab! Love you both❤️🤟
Lame.

Hi can I get your Instagram ID?
You should review a silent voice
I follow your videos because it helps me with understanding conversations with deaf people. Everyone is different, being style, different communities, how they were raised and educated. It's all personal. And sign language changes, developes, evolves. You have to open your eyes and your hands. It's beautiful.
Growing up with a deaf Aunt I kind of had a advantage with beginning learning, but I wanted to know and understand more So, since then I have taken ASL course for three years
cutie dont you mean deaf?
Hi can I get your Instagram ID?
@@musicprovider3910 Sure
@@musicprovider3910 just look up my name
@@alexandraalberti5029 lots of Ids in your name ... And your photobis not clear to match with photo also
My ASL teacher is deaf.She lost her hearing later in life(high school). She had no interpreters then and used lip reading and her voice to communicate.She learned ASL in college. We her students were surprised to learn she is deaf because she has very good speech having lost her hearing later in life and using her voice on the regular earlier in life. Her name is Tracey Messamer and she is an excellent teacher❤
There are levels to ASL and the testing to become an ASL interpreter or teacher is EXTREMELY HARD. Not impossible but it's not by any means easy; if that's your goal,I dont wish to deter anyone. But teaching ASL isnt as easy as one would think.Many of us speak English as out first language but we cannot properly teach it.
It's honestly good for you to not teach ASL on your channel because there exists (I wouldn't say an abundance or excess but...) sufficient opportunity of ASL learning unlike what you are doing here. WHat you are doing on this platform is so so so amazing in several aspects:
1. I'm biased but being a PNWer it is really awesome to someone from the same area it's just randomly cool and motivating to have some representation of the Deaf community.
2. Continuing the thing about representation of Deaf comm. your videos really (at least in my opinion) "humanised" the Deaf comm. as most people just "know" about the comm. thru their ASL learning or assumptions about disabled ppl or shit like that. Showing your life thru UA-cam really and elevates people's perception of Deaf Comm. from a concept of this group of people that do this funny hand thing to human who are just like the us, the hearing, or really anyone and everyone else. It breaks random subconscious assumptions and biases people have.
3. I'm an ASL 3 student and having a visual "learning" ("" because you are more than just a learning source absolutely love your vids n personality lol) source that's finally not just classroom oriented or some random stimulated real life conversation.
Annnnyway. Just wonna say love your vids (yee ik i didn't like any of them ima bish but hey lol) and so very proud of and excited about what you are doing!
PS: why did i sound like when you finally reconnect with that overly-"kind" relative you haven't seen in ages lol
the way you do your channel is great. I'm trying to learn what I can on ASL (i'm hard of hearing) I like to watch because you're casually talking. I can pick up whatever I can in a real world aspect.
So true about books having out-dated signs...the only books I've seen in bookstores are from early 2000s or older. At first I was teaching myself with the books I bought, and using Lifeprint.com, and a couple of youtube videos. When I finally found someplace I could take courses, I found it helped to have the basics down already, but my teacher informed me that some of the signs were old, or not the signs used by the Deaf in my area. I learned a lot more from the courses than I did teaching myself since I got to actually practice with people and see how my receptive skills are, and if I can hold a conversation only using ASL. It's one thing to learn the words, it's another to know how to use them :)
Hi Cheyenna and her fans like me
I really love your honest opinions
I will respect your choice but what you said its true, if peoples want learn sign languages, classes is best way, BUT some tips i can add
i'm deaf guy from Belgium who is interesting learn some ASL
and i can tell you: check youtube channel of ' Bill Vicars '
believe me he is GREAT awesome ASL teacher in my opinion
Why? He is chill, funny and easy to follow, there is words he is teaching his class on background, he will show first, then his students try do correct, if he notice it is wrong he is honest about it like a qualified teacher
BUT also: there is SO many signs for same words, so in fact its hard to learn sign language BUT he always telling this: this sign? Or this? Or this? Of they are correct, then they are correct but also depend on 'context' and what they are talking about can make different signs for one word
OR few words transformed into one sign, depend on face mimic and hands fingers like example: i'm gonna sleeping, then you just do sign of 'sleep'
maybe peoples can start learn from that channel of Bill Vicars before they take ASL class
If those peoples have no knowledge about deaf community and want learn sign language, it could be hard when they take ASL class with no knowledge
So my advice, check on youtube for ' basic sign language asl' and if you CAN follow it and try do sign yourself, then it is easier to take ASL class
The ASL Shop (which has a self paced course for around $13 a month) and Sign Language Center are both awesome as well! I’ve taken classes through both that have been fantastic!
I think it’s wild that people essentially expect that because you’re a Deaf youtuber, that you would be interested in/have some obligation to teach others ASL???? Like just because someone is Deaf and uses ASL doesn’t make it their obligation to teach you ASL. Deaf people have other interests other than the language they speak.
I took 2 yrs of ASL and have a certificate in it but not qualified to be an interpreter. I have a passion for languages in general but other than English i am not fluent in any....but that doesn't grt rid of the want to make videos on langauges. I feel like if I did that though I'd add links to videos or sites that are actual professionals or native speakers of that language. Also, I just found your channel! You are very pretty and I like what I've seen of your content so far.
very mature answer. Just because I speak English doesn't mean I am qualified to be an English teacher. Like you, I don't know all the grammar "rules". I just know how to use them (most of the time) but if I had to explain how to conjugate a verb or use the dative I would be clueless.
I’m new to your channel that shirt looks amazing on you by the way ✌🏾
I have been learning sign since third grade and hopefully going to high school this year I understood everything you said.
I appreciate you being honest about this. Teaching is not that easy and it’s a lot of responsibility 🤗 I love seeing your journey on here. And for your purpose I wouldn’t even be too worried about being 100% “correct” all the time from a prescriptivist point of view.
I’m sure there are many ASL resources online both free and paid that were created by actual teachers 🙌 maybe you could do a collab with a professional ASL teacher?
I'd just like to say kudos to you for setting boundaries around this. And, too, thanks for the resources for other options. :)
I agreed with you 100%! Thank you for sharing, love 💕!
Chey I agree with you. I'm hearing and I learned ASL from my Friends. My JR. High & HS had mainstream program. So I had 6 years learning from them. Then I took 2 ASL classes at my community college. They only had 2 classes. But to be honest I did not learn anything new from the classes. I do better learning ASL from books and my friends. I also pick up signs when I watch youtube (interviews & channels like yours). PS I'm still not 100% fluent.
Hi can I get your Instagram ID?
I'm learning ASL in HS currently but the curriculum can be a little too slow for my pace. Watching your channel helps me pick up signs and always renews my passion for signing, and your videos are very entertaining 🥰
u are awesome and not only one is you ! just like me as like you well said. I m hearing loss,PSE,SEE,ESL,lipread n hang out most of hearing ppls out of the world whole thing in my life. I have all 5 sisters,2 bro hearing n no sign. Yes it is sad n they don't think it is not important sign language communicate with me. Btw Thank you for ur share here.
Ha ha I love the effect of your face when you were distracted by a squirrel!! Maybe the squirrel wanted to co-host with you on the video as giving you a hint!! :-)
Yeah. I'm a former teacher (elementary school and junior high). People always think that because they can DO something, they can TEACH it. Nope. Doing and teaching are two very different skills. :)
thank you! Wonderfully said! Not everyone is qualified, even if the language is their primary language. A lot of people don't get that. ASL is actually my second language and I get asked all the time why don't I teach? ummm because I'm not qualified to teach...and I'm not going to disrespect the Deaf Community by teaching a language I am not qualified to teach. By the way, where did you get your blouse? it's gorgeous
As a Deaf person, I can say that there are many ASL teachers that thinks they know the proper ways to do this or that in ASL when in reality, they're not doing it correctly themselves. That is when I find out that a lot of the ASL teachers were...hearing.
More often than not, most teachers if not all properly trained teachers learned from ... native Deaf signers.
Therefore, you are qualified to teach ASL, Cheyenna.
Agreed, teach the sign had lots contents, verb, finger spell, directions, etc so more it will take long time become pro signs. I not asl user but I still learning from your sign. , so I’m BSL user.
always turn on cc, thats why i still understand
For those of you insisting that Cheyenna teach ASL, here's a suggestion for the people already learning ASL that have gone through a year of studying vocab. Just turn on the closed-captions and set the speed to .25 or .5. You'll be able to see what the meaning of her signs are and give you something to go else where to research. I suggest lifeprint.com or just search Bill Vicars here in youtube.com.
I am hearing person who is going to college as a theatre major and Deaf studies minor. I agree that learn ASL in a class setting is the best especially if the teacher or professor is an individual. In my program we have a few approved websites and apps to help learn words. If anyone is interested but I am not professional only a beginner.
Curious what you think of Bill Vicars channel. I've been using it to learn since he's related to galludet university but Id love to hear your opinion!
Cheyenna, are you the lady doing ASL in the channel *Cut* with other ASL experts?
Those baby blue eyes 😌🥺 you’re gorgeous
It does im new here my son is 3 year olds and deaf also he got approved for cochlear implants cant wait for him hear me
I love your shirt!
I love your natural makeup!! It’s suit you very well. 😍
I love your make up!
Wow, thanks for your information that i already know in ASL issues. Surprisingly you didnt raised with Deaf Community. But i know like be too even i hope keep it up. 🙌
Thank You so much for sharing this wonderful video I love watching your channel and the amazing videos that you share with us you're such an inspiration and a wonderful UA-camr I love the content that you film and share it's amazing!!!
Hi can I get your Instagram ID?
I wan t to say happy New Year from Aries Wars to Cheyenne Clearbrook
aries War happy new year to you too
And I understand sign language
here is my view about people quiting their jobs-- i miss my starbucks i learned asl at vista college berkeley. 1 thru 4. my life would have been wonderful if she only married me-- Martha
This is awesome video. You inspired me to learn asl. Eu sou do Brasil ! :)
if the logic that you speak it then you can teach it, then technically, most everybody that posts a comment down below should be qualified to teach English.... :thinkingemoji: waitaminute....
Nice top 💖 where's it from?
I really wish you would caption your vids
worm123321 she does caption them, you just have to turn them on, so there’s no need to waste a wish.
@@loveorlovemenot123 lol my bad! Awesome!!!!!
Hi I just wanted to say I think you're so beautiful and I find your videos very informative! Thank you so much
I love your style sO much! It’s such an inspiration to me 😊
Nice to teach sign language ☺️
U look like angel ❤️
Earlyyyy🥰🥺✌
I really agree with you!
well i guess this makes sense
I cant read the subtitles and see you beatiful eyes at the same time. Sorry, love u❣❣
Your makeup looks amazing, tutorial?
Thank you for investigating some online resources! Subscribed and thumbs up for the UA-cam algorithm.
Are you born deaf or just hearing of loss? If as Deaf you have to rights to teach ASL! It is dont matter to me because I'm born full deaf and taught to my family, friends, and at job as co workers to learn ASL from me they did enjoyed and easy communicate wtih me as well!
I know many people ask her if she wishes she could hear again, and she always responds with “no, I’m happy being who I am”
But the question is...if she could, would she?
It’s different from saying you wish something, rather than if you want something
Hi from El Salvador!
Hi can I get your Instagram ID?
I mean it’s the same way you cant just teach people English? Like yeah you can help spell words but deciphering deeper meanings is difficult, or how our lingo isn’t really “correct English” and that’s a whole other ball game is understanding generation lingo lmao
Why does she have a microphone
Sub, view and a like
You got all three😌.
С Новым Годом!!!
thats just strange of people to expect that from you😭this channel is supposed to be for you not others
HoH. Just badly want to learn ASL
0:00 Are you OK...?
6:50 What happened there?
Your video had some strange moments, but I do appreciate your wish to share why you don't want to teach ASL. I've had two times when I tried to do something that I really was not good enough at. It reminded me of a Dutch saying that says, shoemaker stick to your boot tree.
It's called being quirky, and editing
bill vicars teaches asl
He is the best teacher..
@@ks-cf9mn he is
❤️❤️❤️
Put some music forgodsake
Getting a 70's vibe.
I understand. And I know asl too
Im sorry but i can’t like the video becouse it has 420 likes
Lol squirrel
Write captions because I don’t know sign language
Subscribe for no reason Memes and videos all her videos do have captions, if you turn them on
There are captions, click the three dots and hit captions. It’s there 😂😂
click "cc" at the bottom of her video
Thank you I didn’t know 👌♥️
Have you heard of the word PLEASE and you can turn the closed captions on.
Try to speak
Subscribe for no reason Memes and videos who are you to demand that?? She chooses not to speak, and she shouldn’t have to answer to anyone about why or why not. Her life, her vids, if you want to be a demanding ableist, then go do it somewhere else and let her make good content without people getting into her business
Subscribe for no reason Memes and videos this is so impossibly rude and ignorant.
I don’t care
I can’t hear her I like her videos if I don’t get to know what she says it gets boring
Smith Signs at least I said try as I nice way would you like it if I said talk now exactly so mind your own business this comment wast for you it was for her
