I only sign Auslan, do you have captions on a video about this. I hate parties.

[@mariabyrne7222]

see you understand what it is like, to not hear, you do these things to get by, and to avoid having to explain yet again why and how you can't hear, and there is always someone who will think the way you behave is because you are a little bit dumb, that is the impression they get. Yet no matter how many times you do tell them the way things are, they never ever get what it is like to be deaf, unless they are deaf.

I only clicked cause i think she is pretty... am i horrible person ?

Great video, but actually you're not following ASL rules, you're not supposed to say "but" "and" "do". Also repeating some words and focusing on the negative makes the video stale as bad. I know you're trying, this is tip you get from me. Not forcing you to change fully.

She didn't even start learning ASL until recently, so cut her a little slack.

Deimox Dakkea Your grammar is also bad. So don't criticize her for not following ASL rules if you aren't following English grammar rules.

[@afreshloafofgarlicbread6307]

IvanMTG1 English grammar and ASL grammar are different. You don’t need to have good English grammar to critique someone on their ASL.

She just started learning ASL but thanks for the feedback. How else is she supposed to get better.
