I loved the effects you made :)

This list is almost identical to a much older Bill Vicars video.

I need more of thissss

CHAMP videos...More please!!!!!!!!!!!!

"My birthday is June 25th" I'm watching this on your birthday!! Happy birthday!! (Also you share a bday with my sister!!)

One of the best tips I learned (that also includes a bit of everything you showed in the video) is to focus on the context. So include the shape of the word, focusing on the overall size etc, but focus on what they *could* be spelling. It's similar to the flash cards you used :) I discovered this kind of on my own during ASL class, when the teacher spelled bratwurst. Also, the spelling of that word is weird anyway lol. We were learning about signs for meat in that section of the class, thats where the context comes in. He spelled it really fast, and waited to see if anyone understood. I forgot the sign for it, if there even is one lol, and just said, "wait, is it the thing that's like a hotdog?" Everyone was super surprised apparently haha. It was based on two main tips I learned; trying to catch the whole word instead of individual letters, and ✨️context✨️ Context is so important in ASL, and I'd imagine any other language. Anyway that's something I thought I'd share :P

Wonderful! Please add a way to venmo you tips and money for tickets to these great shows.

Hey, with regards to putting one speaker on hold to have a brief discussion with another speaker, how polite/rude is this method, are there other methods, and what's the general length of time that the second conversation can last before it *does* become rude? I expect these are different from similar moves in English, especially since putting a finger in someone's face like that *is* typically seen as rude -- and because when you're looking away from your conversation partner, you have effectively shut off their *ability* to continue, in a way that doesn't happen for hearing conversational partners (unless perhaps you leave the room altogether).

Several of these are highly visual! I also particularly like "ooh! I thought of something" because it seems super useful to be able to interrupt a flow of thought, and I hope it would be clear if I used it in a conversation, if I ever got that far. It certainly feels like "hang on a minute" plus "think" and "insert in middle" so it feels like it'd be clear even if you didn't know the idiom specifically.

This is why in my conlangs I prefer noun-descriptor order rather than the English version. It's also a useful thought process while writing, using larger chunks of meaning. There's a place for a kind of montage (random snapshots of a location/person/thing), but generally it's good to have a mental camera moving through the scene. E.g. describing a character's outfit as shoes, pants, shirt, hat, rather than shirt, shoes, pants, hat; the brain doesn't have to jump around as much.

This is genius. The level I have been waiting for. Thanks a lot

I'm sorry I can't catch the sign at 47 seconds. Captions say "homework". It's a sign I see a lot but I never understand it. What is it can anyone help? Thank you ❤

Thank you so much, my interpreter training in college NEVER covered the subtle sorts of things like darker or lighter or POP!

Love the beanie❤

Love this teaching!

I'm a beginning ASL student (I am losing my hearing) but very much enjoyed this video. Lots of new words for me so the captioning was appreciated.

Best ever! You are a gifted storyteller. Please do more!!!

Thanks!

If the origin of the signs were racist then I agree. However if people are subjectively noticing that certain signs appear similar (black, ugly) then that's not enough reason to change a language. I'm not Deaf but I see a little too much wokeism in some deaf culture as in hearing culture. Anyone want to help me understand more?

Perhaps consider adding cc, this would be so interesting and a fabulous way for the learning community to enter into your experience and story. I am learning..,;) thank you for posting.

I was bothering my kid yesterday about MOST of these questions. The hand against your hand will work better than bracing my finger against my wrist because feeling my tendons move makes me nauseous.

@L1zHarris reccomended you for signers working on shifting from signing with English syntax to ASL and Im so excited to watch more of your videos! Your energy is so kind

Thank you for posting your videos. I've been a on and off again asl student. I'm hearing. I've struggled with having someone to sign with and your tips help a lot. Found you through another young lady on KZbin that suggested you and one other person. I enjoy the fact that your hard of hearing (deaf) for the fact that it forces me to actually watch your hands and face. Then I'll read the captions to make sure I'm at least in the ball park and know what I need to work on.

Understood. Thank you!

Thank you so much! Understanding finger spelling has been a huge problem for me for years! I always have trouble understanding what people are spelling to me and I have to ask them to go so slow. Just like when I can't hear what somebody is saying and I repeat back what I think they said, signing back what I think they spelled is such a huge improvement over asking them to sign it again. Thank you so much for this video.

Jeremy, out of curiosity, what has the BASL community thought of currently about that issue? Any updates on the preferences?

Definitely not for beginners. But for those who have experience it would be a good video. Your E hand shape is not what I've been taught....big difference.

I did not expect that outro

I just saw you recommended and I'm glad I found your channgel! Ive only watched a couple videos so far but they are very helpful. I still have to watch most ASL videos on slow speed but i love that i have that option and also being able to go back and rewatch parts like you said. The hardest part of ASL for me personally is learning the right facial expressions especially because im autistic and have trouble with that in general.

Wow! ASL student here. I was not ready. Very insightful thanks. Love your videos

Love this! I hope you can make more tutorials (late deafened. Use ASL for communication)

I'm hearing but that was such an interesting video! especially at the end with the similar signs😮

I just watch of this video. I learn of this . Thank you for share . I agree with you ( ASL top black and center sign ugly ) . Try figure out change sign for black . Sign language black person ( show respect ) . What do you think ? . I have my best friend self black person .

Regarding some comments saying you are too fast. I am a beginner, but your speed makes me view the signs.. again and again, which I believe has helped me read and learn at a better speed. Yes, I want to be as rapid as you are; therefore I believe your speed is appropriate for those of us who have this particular learing style. Thank you for these amazing videos!! .

Can I say, I felt dumb when i kept turning up the volume…

When the close captions said "cherished culture to preserve only"made me smile. I'm adopted and was disconnected from all the cultures I should've been apart of, both with family wise and adoptive family wise. I've now been looking into all the ones I can now (from my birth side, all of the adoptive side has stayed secretive about it around me) and I have learned the importance of cherishing one's culture. So I agree that one shouldn't be used outside the black community. I believe a new one should be made, but also chosen by the black community. Or maybe change the sign for ugly even. (I personally can think of a few😂). To the question of if this is meant to be racist? And I don't know. I'm going to research this to see if there's an answer. If it's not, they're *very interesting* coincidence.. Edit: definitely read alot of these comment's. They hold alot of information that i think would be useful 😊❤

This is rhe dumbest way to teach, should I watch the hands or read the CC. Lol. My advice is that the best way to learn is to speak and sign so we can communicate with other and they don't feel left out.

Super clear and concise, great job!

I've been watching Bill Vicars videos and he is fantastic! My receptive skill are still atrocious and I'm still working on facial expressions.. I know eyebrows down for mose questions except yes/no questions it's eyebrows up. But that's the extent of my asl facial skills 😅

After a week of learning asl i thought i was good enough to have a conversation with someone but this guy is straight up throwing signs at me at eminem rap god speed 💀. Cant understand a single thing 😂.

Thank you

Please do more videos. I think a lot of yours are from three years ago but I am a social worker with three families who both parents are deaf. Your videos have helped me connect to them. I feel happy to go on home visits and be able to ask some of my own questions.

make more......

Great story! I’m hard of hearing and wear dual hearing aids. I sign and speak…and being able to watch these stories is so much fun! No cc, just sign. Amazing 😮.

I'd like to learn more ASL by attending Deaf and Hard-Of-Hearing workshops. 1:29

Love this video! I haven’t looked at more of your videos, but in this day and age of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) discussions, I’m wondering if you have a specific sign for “equity”? I’ve seen different signs, but none that seem to represent conceptually correct. (I’m an interpreter). Thanks!
