Almost deleted due to lighting. Decided to post for those who want practice. (ASL) (u19p2)(alt)

Intended audience: ASL 3 and / or ASL 4 students.
I came across this video on a video recorder (camcorder). The class session was recorded a few years back. I never used it due to the bad lighting (at one point the sun peaked through the blinds and created a very bright spot) and was just going to throw it away because lots of people get distracted by stuff like that.
However I figured I'd clean up the lighting as best I could in an editing program and upload the video for ASL 3 and/or ASL 4 students who might like some additional receptive practice -- and if people don't like it they can move on to some other video.

Wait, that was a pretty interesting spider information that most viewers would not have known! Thank you. 😊

[@lettybagdanov1167]

Thank you for all your videos! Love learning

[@bookwrm4evr]

This one was difficult so I'll have to practice again, but the spider fact was fun to learn (sign). Thank you for posting this vid.

[@sign-language]

This one was taught to students in a bachelor of Deaf Studies program at around their fourth semester so most of them have had ASL 3 and part of ASL 4 -- plus a fingerspelling class and many might have had other signing related classes.

Dr. Bill, thank you for sharing this little video that helps me learn American Sign Language. I look at that a little, a few words different from our signs

[@ALEXGSXR]

[@kankurou1010]

Thank you Dr. Bill!! You’ve helped me so much

[@sign-language]

Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know. Ways you and others can help: * Click the “thumb up” (like) icon on the videos. * Click the “subscribe” button. (If you haven't already.) * Click the “Share” link and share the videos. The cool thing about sharing the videos is that you help create more signers with whom you can enjoy signing. Thanks!

Hi! I can't find an online school ASL. Share the information. Thanks!

[@sign-language]

See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/registration.htm My suggestion for those studying at home for free is to go through the Lessons posted at Lifeprint(dot)com and learn the vocabulary and practice the sentences first *then* use the videos on this channel as a form of review. I want to emphasize that again, the KZbin videos at my channel and are best used as review *after* studying the official lessons at Lifeprint(dot)com. How much you pay for an ASL course is going to depend. Lifeprint provides a significant amount of free material, information, and resources. That material is both technically and literally free for self-study. Many students, interpreters, teachers, and parents of Deaf children have used and continue to use the free materials to learn or enhance their learning of ASL. The fact that some students want and pay-for 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 feedback, tracking, advanced testing, and/or documentation beyond the free materials doesn't take away from the fact that the free self-study materials are indeed still free. If people just want to learn ASL and don't need additional feedback, tracking, advanced testing, or signature-based documentation I encourage them to follow the free self-study approach. On one end of the scale is the free students who watch the KZbin videos only. Then there are those who use the Lifeprint lessons and the KZbin videos. Then there are those who use ASL.tc for $60 a year. Some people pay $483 to take the ASLU course. www.lifeprint.com/bookstore/registrationaslucourses.htm

@@sign-language thanks for this resource. But I'm interested in live online learning. It is important for me to study with a live teacher and in a group, preferably. Can someone share their experience?

[@tanyazxc2971]

I'll add, I'm deaf and speak Russian sing language.

[@user-pq2lm9rh1j]

does the S5S5 SIGN infer fluency? Contrast to more awkward sign for a baby signing?

[@sign-language]

20 years ago the answer to your question was a definite yes. Now it is "it can and often tends to." The spread and acceptance of that sign is and has been in a state of heavy evolution for quite a while. It definitely doesn't mean "bad or novice" signing. I think of the overlap between the 5S5S sign and the index fingers sign (for sign) as being like a Venn diagram with some overlap but also areas of non-overlap all depending on context.

“Secret” change youtube settings to slower speed to watch the fs.

[@zhugzug]

Cheat looked like kill until I looked it up, you were doing horns, not stabbing motions L.O.L.!!!!

[@sign-language]

CHEAT has several interesting versions. It is used at Deaf schools quite a bit and Deaf Schools are incubators for rapid language change and creation of language variants.
