Hello ASL Heroes!!! Hey, I could really use your help. If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you. A small monthly donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com. Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!” www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G Thanks! - Dr. Bill p.s. Want to have your very own USB drive with four semesters worth of ASL instruction (that’s the equivalent of two years of colleges classes) for just $79.95? See "SuperUSB" in the ASLUniversity bookstore at: lifeprint.com/bookstore/bookstore.htm Take care and love to you all. :)

I'm already a student with a monthly subscription. Hope that counts, too.^^

Yes indeed. The ASL.tc subscription program does help support the development of free resources: www.lifeprint.com/asltc/

hey, i see that u have paypal & cashapp, but was wondering if there’s any chance you could have a venmo option as well? i’d love to donate!

[@sign-language]

Hello Lily! As best I can tell, from what I've read -- you can use Venmo through Paypal. Would you believe that Venmo is actually owned by PayPal!? Apparently Paypal now accepts Venmo payments (according to Wikipedia's entry regarding Venmo.) For more information on the process, see: help.venmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/217042888-How-It-Works Or I believe you can sidestep the issue totally by using an an approach that doesn't require you to log-in nor set up a Paypal account. Go to this link: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G and there is an option that says "or donate with a credit or debit card." Using that option means you won't have to set up a Paypal account. You just input your credit info and "Shazam!" -- all done.

Learning vocab is straight forward. Asking and answering questions in your video is what helped me the most.

Thank you so much for this! It was very helpful!

[@benjaminplackemeier1705]

This is way better than some of the ASL classes Ive been in where they just give you a video to reciprocate from. The best I found is from the deaf community that works with schools.

[@rootbeer-pw2lj]

Hi Bill, I am a newbie. The finger spelling is hard to read with you on the left hand side of the screen. It would be easier to follow if you were on my right. i can't see your thumb. this is very exciting class . thank you

Love the helicopter jokes. I totally want a personal helicopter to commute to work with.

Forgive me, I can't resist: Did you hear the one about the helicopter? Never mind, it would go over your head.

[@annieswatches]

@@sign-language If this is a total immersion class, how come there was an interpreter? Just curious.

[@sign-language]

The terp was there that first day in case I needed to communicate with the the video technician in the back. That class was being live streamed to three different cable outlets in the Sacramento area (about 5,000 households). After the camera started rolling (and I started teaching) the terp just relaxed and enjoyed the down time (while picking up a $55 an hour paycheck to be split with the terp agency).

[@annieswatches]

@@sign-language Oh, ok. That's cool.

[@lillietennen2541]

at 45:00 i was convinced you were signing "whore" and i was shocked at the commitment to repeat it so many times 🤦🏻‍♀

[@sign-language]

My commitment to my craft knows no bounds. ;-) I think your comment helps point out the value of learning ASL from multiple angles rather than only being exposed to it head-on.

[@splashthefly9039]

You can really see how important non-verbal communication is (even more important for people who are deaf or hard of hearing). I'm studying psychology and for some classes you fail if you don't have the right expressions (no joke, points get deducted when you use the wrong expression or don't express yourself enough). Expressions are important wether its with sign language or spoken words! Thank you for the lesson! 😁👍

[@sign-language]

Hello Splash! Indeed. In ASL we have something we refer to as "facial grammar" wherein eyebrow movements function as a form of punctuation. During expressive testing of my students I do deduct points if their facial expressions do not line up with the intended meaning of their sentences. - Dr. Bill ============================ How to use ASL University to learn sign language for free: 1.

[@Despond]

I hear the words internally when I sign or there is a slight delay when I will say the word "internally" then sign after. I can't imagine how I could do it without an internal dialogue. I guess it takes a lot of practice if you've been able to hear and talk all your life.

I learned PSE sign as a kid and now I'm trying to learn ASL. @15:12 I'm having a hard time recognizing between ----- "Do you know her?" -> know *her ? and "Is she a student?" -> learn+person *her ? Ref: "*" is like a C++ pointer ----- I don't know why I'm not registering the "person" suffix and confusing the signs for "know" with "learn." Would you not use the phrase "Do you know her?" using "know" as in "Do you know ASL?"

[@sign-language]

At 15:10 I sign: IX-(she) STUDENT (is)-IX-(she)? IX = index or point at. This can be used as a present referent to state he, she, they-(singular), it, that specific item. The meaning of "is" is created by context and raising of the eyebrows while repeating the indexing (pointing) movement at the end. I'm assuming it was a female but could have been a male or nonbinary by glossing as: IX-(he) or IX-(they-singular) See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/grammar.htm
