Is it all right if I sign predominantly with my left hand as dominant, but fingerspell with my right? I'm ambidextrous and have picked my left hand to be dominant, but have the muscle memory of the alphabet on my right hand from when I was younger? Thank you in advance! Loving the content, you make learning so fun and enjoyable :)

[@sign-language]

I could ask you a similar question -- is it alright for you to speak English in a manner that is just slightly different from the pronunciation typically used by others? Sure, other people will still understand you (if they are Hearing and speak English). Is it wrong or bad to speak very, slightly different from the mainstream? As far as using your left hand as your dominant hand but choosing to spell with your right -- people would notice it, sure. Most probably won't say anything to you about it -- as long as you sign fairly well. Rude people (or ASL teachers) might comment on it or take it upon themselves to tell you how they think you should do it. However, it is quite possible you could go your whole life using your non-dominant hand to spell and it not be an issue of any real substance.upon themselves to tell you how they think you should do it.

[@CaseyMarkov]

for the sign room could you do it backwards? for example you have the front and back walls first and then the sides of the room? I also like this girl in the second chair! she is trying and it shows

[@sign-language]

Question: For the sign "room" -- can you show the front and back walls first and then the sides of the room? Answer: Great question! The sign for "room" can be and is signed either way: 1. sides then front/back 2. front/back then sides I personally lean toward showing the sides first and the front/back second. I think that version just "feels" better and may have a slight edge in "published" curricula -- but both versions of "box" or "room" are so common that I would caution ASL teachers to not mark it wrong if a student does the back/front first and the sides second. If someone wants to argue this and wants to bet money against either version I'll take the bet and stipulate that to win it I have to provide a dozen existing published video examples of Deaf or hard of hearing skilled signers doing the sign whichever way. It would be a suckers bet since both versions are so common. Warm regards and happy studies!

Last year, my house had rooms that were all white. This year, it has many colors. My bedroom is blue. My sister's bedroom is yellow. My brother wants a black bedroom. Dad said "NO". My brother asked "orange?" Dad said "NO". My brother asked "brown?" Dad said "OK". My parents' bedroom is white. The bathroom is yellow. The family room is green. Our car is red.

[@louderthanwordsInclusivity]

In an earlier lesson you showed “room” where both hands stayed symmetrical, but this one shows one hand extending further-are these both valid Saigon’s for the word?

[@sign-language]

Generally when I show two different versions -- they are both right. I'm not sure to what you are referring by "hands stayed symmetrical" and "one hand extending further." You can include a time code for each example in your comment and I can look at the specific examples and provide more feedback.

[@louderthanwordsInclusivity]

​@@sign-language the hands ending up looking like - - As opposed to -_ if that makes sense lol. Probably not the best descriptor. Thank you so much for everything you do, I have had hearing loss in one ear since I was a child, and after my eardrum burst last year it hasn’t healed correct,y and my hearing is not great, and I couldn’t hear speech at all for around 6 months, it was a big wake up call and culture shock, to not be able to understand anyone even if they are screaming at you. I had to have my fiancé write down what my son was saying to me. It really changed my perspective on what a huge deal it really is for the burden of bridging communication to only fall on those who fall out of the majority. The fact that you aren’t more recognized nationally for everything you do is disheartening.

[@sign-language]

The sign for "room" is based on the sign for "box." Thus the ending position of the hands is not equidistant from the body but rather one of the hands represents the far wall and one represents the near wall. If done quickly and casually the disparity of ending distance between the hands becomes smaller but one hand still tends to be further forward than the other (in the ending position). Here is a good, clear example of how I recommend you sign room, regardless of what you have seen me sign (or thought you saw me sign) in any of the lessons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKqohWWGjJiCqLM

[@marcellaobrien3411]

you use the y hand shape for so many signs i get confused on which is which

[@sign-language]

It gets easier with practice. Do you get confused when you see the letter "E" show up in so many English words? No, of course not -- because you have had thousands of hours of practice reading English. The same applies to ASL. After you have practiced enough you will recognize the signs without confusion. Make sure to go through the lessons sequentially -- starting with the easier lessons first. I recommend you use the official ASLU playlist and just watch the whole thing.

[@ryankizhakayil6254]

very nice

[@frankiejo4430]

if you're asking a question that's structured like a yes/no question but expects a more detailed answer, should your eyebrows be up or down? An example of what I mean would be a teacher asking their class "does anybody know the answer to question three?" The question is phrased like a yes/no question, but the teacher expects a student to answer question number three, and not just reply "yes, I know the answer to question three." Would the teacher's eyebrows be up or down?

[@sign-language]

If a question is "structured as" a yes / no question that means the eyebrows should be "up" because raising the eyebrows is literally how we structure a yes/no question. Yes/No: Question 3, anyone know answer? (brows up) Wh-Type: Question 3, answer what? (brows down) The issue here is that the phrase "Who knows answer?" -- in real life (actually) means "Do you know the answer? If so raise your hand and tell me." -- a yes no question combined with an expectation. Thus even though you are using a WH-type sign (WHO) to ask "Who knows answer?" -- you are still functionally asking a yes/no type question. If you were a bird looking through the window as a teacher of the Deaf (TOD) asked his/her/their class: "Who knows answer?" -- you might see them sign the question with their brows up -- the brows up changes the meaning to "Does anyone know the answer?" Then due to pragmatics (the situational context) -- someone would be likely to raise their hand and give an expanded answer. It is not uncommon for the situation and the facial expression to override the "furrow eyebrows on wh-questions rule." A very common example is the question: "How are you?" (when used as a friendly greeting). Raising your eyebrows combined with "situational context" (for example: an environment such as two people passing each other in a hallway) changes "How are you?" into a yes / no question that actually is means: "Are you well?" or "Are you fine?" "Are you good?" (All of which are yes / no type questions the answer to which is: FINE (as in "Yes, I'm fine.") Or some other answer such as "SO-SO" which means "No, I'm not fine." Or "GREAT" which means "Yes, I'm fine -- I'm doing great!"

[@sign-language]

After further reflection I've updated my response as follows: Response: When asking a question such as: "Does anybody know the answer to question three?" -- you should still raise your eyebrows. Sure, you are hoping for more than just a yes/no response but the fact is the response may just be "no" in the form of no one responding. You hope to get a response of "yes" in the form of someone providing an answer. (For example if you ask someone "Can I have a glass of water?" and the person hands you a glass of water you know answer is obviously "yes" since you are now holding a glass of water. However I'd like to point out that if you ask "Does anyone know the answer to question three?" -- you are really dealing with two different questions. Let's assume question three is "Why is the sky blue?" Thus our two questions are: 1. Question Three: "Why is the sky blue?" 2. Does anybody know? When you ask the yes/no question: "Does anybody know?" -- you are implying that you also expect an answer to your other question (a "wh"-type question based on the concept of "why"). Wh-Type: "SKY BLUE WHY?" (brows down) ("What is the answer?") Yes/No: "ANYONE KNOW ANSWER? (brows up) ("Does anyone know the answer?") The issue here is that the phrase "Anyone know the answer?" -- is actually a yes/no question combined with an expectation of answering a "wh"-type question. If you were a bird looking through the window as a teacher of the Deaf (TOD) asked his/her/their class: "WHO KNOW ANSWER?" -- you might see them sign the question with their brows up -- the brows up changes the meaning to "Does anyone know the answer?" Due to pragmatics (the situational context) -- someone would be likely to respond and give an expanded answer. The expanded answer is to the original question (the one posted on the display) not to the teacher's request for a volunteer. Remember, we are dealing with two questions here not just one. "Does anybody know the answer to question three?" is actually asking: "Will someone volunteer to answer the question 'Why is the sky blue?'" If someone responds it implies "yes" (to the teacher's yes/no question) and the expanded response is to the original question. It is not uncommon for the situation and the facial expression to override the "furrow eyebrows on wh-questions" rule. A very common example of an exception to the "eyebrows down on wh-questions" rule is the question: "How are you?" (when used as a friendly greeting). Raising your eyebrows combined with "situational context" (for example: two people passing each other in a hallway) changes "How are you?" into a yes / no question that actually means: "Are you well?" "Are you fine?" "Are you good?" All of which are yes / no type questions which are typically answered by signing: FINE (as in "Yes, I'm fine.") Or some other answer such as "SO-SO" which means "No, I'm not fine." Or "GREAT" which means "Yes, I'm fine -- I'm doing great!" ============= [End ]

Dr. Bill I have a question: What is the sentence structure of ASL. Like in English it’s pronoun, verb, preposition, article, then noun. If I wanted to say: “I’m going to the store later today”. What words would I sign in that sentence to convey the message, I know I’m not supposed to sign every word, because that’s not ASL. But would be “Going store later”? Please let me know.

[@sign-language]

Lillost, Ask yourself, is either of these more correct than the other: 1. Later today I'm going to the store. 2. I'm going to the store later today. There are those who will try to tell you that ASL requires you to sign: time, object, subject, verb. For example: LATER TODAY, STORE, I GO. Just nod your head and thank them for sharing their "wisdom." However, be aware that they are simply parroting what they read somewhere or were told by an instructor. The reality is that most transitive ASL sentences are: Subject / verb / object. Another reality is that most Deaf will sign "I GO STORE LATER, NEED ANYTHING? ("Today" wouldn't be needed since it would be assumed in normal circumstances eh?) While I could type out a much longer answer to your question, the fact is I"ve already expounded at great length on the topic of ASL grammar over at my website. See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/subject-verb-object-asl-sentence-structure.htm and also see: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/grammar.htm

[@kevin-vh9pp]

Great Videos, thank you . . . 3:27 why do i need to say room twice?

[@sign-language]

Kevin, The second signing of "room" is helpful to clarify that we are discussing "rooms" plural -- but the second signing of "room" in this particular case is optional since we add "all" at the end. I still recommend doing "room" twice here just to make it clear we are discussing the rooms in a house not "one room that happens to be white." If we didn't use the sign "all" in the sentence then the second signing of "room" would be needed to establish that we mean "rooms" plural.
