      I've clicked the record to cloud option.
      Can't promise though due to the vagaries of "at a distance" instruction. I'll also be using a second camera to increase the chances of getting a successful recording. Will see how it goes.

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  Рік тому +3

      An approach is to do various searches on Facebook for the term ASL and words like practice. Then join those groups and indicate that you would like to practice signing with someone and see if you get some responses.
      Better yet, find local in-person practice partners by googling:
      ASL Socials near me
      Deaf Events near me

    The minute of dead-air at the end of the video was a nice touch. Very artistic. I ponder its deeper meaning. Thanks for another great video, sir.

      Yah, pretty Zen, right?
      Was trying a different camera / recording system than my usual It was pretty hilarious -- me searching for the "stop" function on the online software (without my reading glasses). My helpful sidekick Marly found and pointed out the right button and I finally got it turned off.

      Sometimes I use a simple video cutter-joiner to trim the ends a bit. It even fixed my video that youtube insisted on rotating sideways.

    It's been a while since I watched Bill, (I'm hearing. Wife & I took just a couple of ASL classes ~10 years ago), but is there a sign for SLOW THE BLEEP DOWN! - when finger spelling?.?.?.

    • @mikewazasski
      @mikewazasski 3 місяці тому

      signing AGAIN SLOW or SPELL AGAIN SLOW is the typical way, but i'd just do a real dramatic SLOW to emphasize lol

    As a major rail enthusiast, a friend of mine who had a deaf train friend in the east showed me the signs for train, trolley and subway train. Seeing "Trina Gone, Sorry" looks like a a steam train's siderods chugging!
    Question, could one flip sorry and train to make a slang-like sign for "steam train" similar to how the sign for subway train works?

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  Рік тому +2

      Yes, a person can use a rotating type movement to depict certain aspects of certain types of trains. It is common for skilled ASL users to use a type of depictive signing (sometimes called "classifiers") to show what things look like and how they move (or how parts of things move in relation to other things). Elsewhere on my channel I've got various classifier videos that you might want to check out to see how flexible and powerful classifiers can be for describing things.

    Deaf in my area sign TB by throwing the B outward-towards, fingers above/below stacked vertically, all pointing (roughly) at the person, luckily I've only seen it demonstrated~~

    • @thrivinginamber2642
      @thrivinginamber2642 Рік тому

      I'm curious about the difference between what is always "Part of ASL", "Priming Conversation", "Context", and how classifiers are "Set-up", from the point of view of a new learner, these should all look similar, if even recognized as happening at all. I tend to set-up metaphors in a similar way to classifiers, so as long as it's understood, it works, but, how do I know it works if I haven't tested it out with Deaf or experienced signers? Usually the concept is fully formed before I even try to show it. Decision making, experimentation, style, all that~

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  Рік тому

      Interesting questions.
      To begin answering them I'd want an essay on what you personally mean by those terms, examples of what you think to be the case, and a serious expansion on what you mean by, "how classifiers are "Set-up", from the point of view of a new learner."
      Then when you get all done run it through ChatGPT with a prompt of "Is the following clear and easy to understand? If not please indicate areas that can be improved and suggest possible improvements."
      Then after ChatGPT is convinced your content is clear and your questions are understandable feel free to email it to me and I will do what I can to provide feedback.
      Digging around in the comments of my UA-cam page is not where I prefer to do deeper discussions. Really, the best place for this would be the Lifeprint-ASLU Facebook group. I believe anonymous posts are allowed there if identity is an issue. Also, it is good to keep a local backup copy of any longer content in case Facebook glitches.

    • @thrivinginamber2642
      @thrivinginamber2642 Рік тому

      OH, that was a complicated one, I suppose I know the answer already, that the process of finding out informs my style and shows up in my signing, and that I can already tell the differences, and it's just like similar signs, those too, we begin to deliniate over time, through experience, constant exposure.
