I am a combat veteran with severe hearing loss. Now that we are required to wear masks in public I am essentially isolated when people speak to me as I cannot understand what they are saying. I have a hand held sign signifying that I am deaf and most people will hold their mask down so I can read their lips. I am just starting to learn ASL as I have found many non deaf people can speak to me via signing. This is as real blessing for me. Thank you Victoria for helping me get started.

Thank you for this. All of the kids are in masks at school and my son just met one of the boys who is deaf. He can no longer read lips because all the kids are in masks. We ordered my son masks with a window, but he's using your videos to learn how to communicate with him better. I appreciate these easy to follow videos. They're great for an 8 year old because you go nice and slow and tell why each sign is the way it is. Thank you :)

I work as a security guard at a courthouse and we had a hard of hearing gentlemen come in the other day and I needed to scan his belt but he couldn't hear us, so I took off my mask (6ft away) so he could read my lips, but this encounter made me want to learn sign language, in just 1 day I learned the alphabet and how to spell my name. Every time I learn a new phrase it makes me so happy and I can't wait to be able to use it one day :) we should definitely be teaching this in schools, and i cant wait to teach my kids one day :)

Its 6 feet with a mask. If you are without one it should be 30 feet. Not trying to be an annoying asshole I just think its important that people know the basic safety regulations and of course its your choice to follow them or not.

[@sketchingingreen]

I'm learning ASL for a similar reason. I have anxiety and autism, and after panic attacks it's becoming more and more common for me to go completely nonverbal. I want to learn and have my friends learn so I can communicate with them. It's also just a good idea to learn it. I may eventually be friends with or know someone who is mute or deaf or even occasionally nonverbal like me, and I want to be able to communicate. It's lonely when you can't communicate with those around you.

one fall, a bunch of kids in my school's marching band learned a handful of signs (i still have no clue whether or not they were correct for what we were saying) and just signed the dumbest phrases to each other during classes and band rehearsals to make each other laugh. we'd just be sitting across classrooms signing things like "platypus beans" or "you are not my first boyfriend" for absolutely no reason. it drove our teachers nuts and i wish i had people to do that with in college.

Just a quick thing: The sign ‘thank you’ starts at the chin and then moves away. However, be careful you don’t start underneath the chin and flick outward. You will be telling the other person to f’ off. Just a thing to keep in mind. 😅

the sign for help is putting your non-dominant hand out flat with your palm up and your dominant hand on top with your thumb up then bring the sign toward you and do you need help is the same but put the sign away from you with your eyebrows furrowed, hope this helps!

Just recently lost my hearing, after 30 years of hearing, waking up to no sound was a Heartbreakers. Started learning sign to teach my kids so we can still communicate.

[@CSAcitizen]

You never know when deafness will hit you even temporarily, even when its due to some sickness like Ramsey Hunt Shingles, as it did to me. I was deaf for 3 months ! It left me with tinnitus badly when sound came back. You really need to have some kind of communication on the go, and sign language is great to use. You'd be surprised how many know how to sign ! Its' also a universal language and works almost everywhere ! Like the word dog for example, is spoken as a different sound in many language and be all different, but in sign language dog is good for all of them ! Like perro, dog = same sign in sign language. Father ,mother, are different words in different languages, but is the same sign in sign language for all of them. So sign language is really a universal language. I think that's great !

Same. Very slowly, but ten years of harp playing (it goes right against your right ear because of how you sit) has messed up my hearing enough that I have to ask people to repeat things all the time. Plus I don't like to talk all that much because of a problem with my throat so sign language is just a good bet all around. I hope you don't have to rely on sign language for a long time though. Sounds are beautiful :)

[@amyrobbins5602]

I'm new to the field of special education at my local school district and I'm seeing a lot of hearing/non verbal children that don't have resources for learning ASL or learning simple sign. My goal is to implement a program someday so we can have those services for children that fall into this category and they may feel more freedom in expressing themselves. I took ASL 1 and 2 when I was in college, but I am still kicking myself that I didn't change my field of study to ASL. It's now 10 years later I had a recent desire to be an interpreter and I'm very rusty. And my confidence in my skills has diminished, but I'm working on that by learning more. This has been a nice intro back into ASL. :) Also, I highly recommend reading "Deaf Like Me." It's a true story about a family and the process they went through when they found out their daughter was born deaf. It's really lovely and gives you an intimate understanding of the deaf community and culture.

What about for jobs like "How can I help you?" My mom wants to learn sign language for work so I'm trying to help. ☺

[@TJAG4evr]

The word "help" is signed by placing your non dominant hand flat palm up. Your other hand makes a thumbs up shape and sits on top of your other hand right inside your up turned palm with your thumb pointing up. Together they move slightly forward. If you wanted to sign "can I" in front you could or you could sign "help you want?" Otherwise just signing help gets the message across.

[@camiladotti4160]

Sign HELP YOU HOW in that order. You can find the signs for this in signing savy (website) hope it helps!
