I'm not deaf but I want to learn how to communicate with them. I love the way you teach, with the different angles so we can really learn how to get it right. Thanks!
I am hard of hearing. I want to teach my grandchildren how to sign so that they can communicate with me as I age and my hearing declines. You make it so easy to learn. I have been watching your videos for a couple of weeks. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned. Thank you Dana! You’re a great teacher!
Thank you so very much for the kind words! I'm happy to know that my style of teaching is easy to follow and understand. I hope that you continue to learn and utilize ASL with your family.
Thank you so much for this lesson I haven’t been able to watch your videos because Ive been busy. Im recovering from a cold .Thank you for going over each one again I still have to practice my asl but I can’t wait to learn more from you keep it up
Thanks so much! If you wanted to sign "non-verbal" or "I don't speak," you have a few options. You could sign TALK - NO or TALK - NOTHING to name a few.
I'm learning ASL some as my hearing continues to decline with age. The HA's are pretty much at their limit now. So using ASL is the best way to learn. The issue is knowing who is and isn't HOH or deaf to just say hello to. HOH people often live in isolation.
I appreciate you sharing your story. I would imagine that it is not always easy to find people to connect with. Have you tried searching for a FB group or possibly an online community?
O yes.. The largest city close is 23K. The best I could find was a class at the Collage where kids are learning it for ? I don't want to be the class subject . I'm lucky if a hearing person even recognizes that I'm HOH. @@ASLLOVE
Hello again. 1) Do advanced signers have an ASL sign to put an accent mark over words such as cafe? 2) Do advanced signers have an ASL sign if the first letter of a word is capitalized? For example, my name is capital J-o-h-n. Or are those two examples always merely assumed in American Sign Language? Thank you.
Hi John, thanks for checking in and great questions. Both accent marks and capital letters do not have specific signs/movements. Regular punctuation such as; question marks, exclamation marks, etc. are shown on the face.
Although in a classroom setting when teaching writing, there is a sign to show the difference between capital and lower case letters but it would not be used when spelling proper nouns.
Thanks for watching, that's a great question. I'm assuming you are referring to the subject + verb + object order of ASL? If so, the order doesn't hold true for every phrase and sentence. It's not uncommon to see a few variations of syntax used. As for the ex: "Are you OK?", you do not have to point at all if you do not want to. Like I show in the video, you can lean forward (slightly) and furrow your brow while signing "OK." www.signasl.org/sign/are-you-okay giphy.com/gifs/signwithrobert-sign-with-robert-26FL6SiwlHGO6zyms
Im a cashier and i have a few regulars of mine who are deaf, can i ask for specific phrases so i can help communicate with them?, specifically "do you need a bag?" "Your total is ____" and things like that
I have a few videos that are related to shopping and communicating in a retail setting that can help. (missing "total and "bag" but lots of other useful info). ua-cam.com/video/0l5MSKbeZK4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Dsoh-BonHUw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7fc-PUa22ak/v-deo.html
As a deaf person I appreciate you wanting to learn for your customers. It would mean so much to me if someone learned a few signs to be able to communicate with me. Keep it up! And set a good example for others. ❤

What are you doing and taught as looks similar how can I differentiate them
When signs look similar or are the same, the context of the conversation/situation should help you to clarify the meaning.

@@ASLLOVE Thanks for the replies.
Hello again. It has been about a month since this video.
Will you be posting any new informative videos this week?
Thanks for checking in! I have a short posting soon and working on a Fall vocabulary video for possibly next week. 👍🏼
In case you missed this one... ua-cam.com/users/shortsRPijMZydL5w?feature=share
@@ASLLOVE Thank you again. I forgot you have those shorter videos as well.

For "are you ok?" why do you point first and then sign "ok"? I thought it's the thing and then you?

Can you recommend a good online program for learning?
I would recommend connecting with a teacher on italki.com. You can search for and select a teacher of ASL, then have online classes.
