Thanks! Your contribution will help more people all over (including parents of Deaf children) to learn sign language!
American Sign Language (ASL) taught by Dr. Bill Vicars who is Deaf/hh. He holds an earned doctorate (accredited) in Deaf Studies from Lamar University in Texas and teaches Deaf Studies and ASL full-time (as of this post) as an tenured full-Professor at a major four-year state university.) These videos do not use sound. The lessons are taught without voice. If the signing seems fast you are encouraged to first study the lessons at www.Lifeprint.com and then come back and watch the video. This is an actual ASL student. You can learn along with her as she progresses. For additional lessons and signing information, visit Lifeprint.com.

I want to learn signing to help teach my autistic Grandson who is ten years old. My Granddaughter jazmine who is eleven going on 20 😊 is bound and determined to learn as well. Thank you for these videos and HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🎄☃️❄

Kudos to you and Jazmine for doing what you can to be supportive of your grandson!

I’m so dumb. Every single time I turn up the volume 🙄 oops

[@amandabenton1888]

Hey Dr. Bill, not sure if you care, but just so you know the sound on this video turns on at 21:37.

[@sign-language]

That's okay. I got all my farting done in the first 15 minutes. But hey, thanks for having my back! Appreciated!

Hey Dr. Bill! Question around 11:00, when signing the phone number, Michelle signs to you "twenty-three-four" and not "two-zero-three-four" (using the thumb/index tap sign for the numeral '20' vs. individual digits two and zero). My co-leanring-buddy/mom and I were wondering whether this is commonplace amongst asl users? As hearing folk, we'll often use the "fifty-seven nineteen" or the like when providing things like phone numbers or addresses. Thoughts? Love your insights and love your classes, thank you sir!

[@BradwithHR]

Update, there is some great dialogue around 44:10 on this very issue! Specifically, signing years. Neato!

Brad, IRL (in real life) you are going to see a lot of variety of approaches to phone numbers. So the rule (according to "me," heh) is that if someone tells you a "rule" regarding the signing and sharing of phone numbers -- you will eventually see the rule broken. However, I will suggest that, yes, you will see some number groupings. If there are an double digits 22 - 99 in a phone number, chances are you'll see the little slap-slap version of that number as if signing the number 22, 33, 44 ... etc. as opposed to just showing a 2 and then another 2. In general sure, phone numbers do tend to just show the series of numbers -- but exceptions to that rule are so common as to make the rule somewhat silly. The three digit strings (area code or prefix) tend to just string the digits along as a series of individual digits (except for doubles or triples). The string of the last four digits however -- you will see quite a bit of grouping. I notice that if there is a zero one (01) in the last four then the signing tends to lean toward showing the individual numbers in series. However if the last four digits form a "year" such as 1920 --- that will often be shown as 19 + 20. If the last four form a number like 1000 (or in other words "1,000") chances are the person will just sign "1-THOUSAND" A "ten" in the last four digits often gets shown as a ten (10). Which is to say 3802 is much more likely to be shown as individual numbers than 1015 (10+15). If you are taking a test though I'd lean toward doing individual numbers when showing most phone numbers. Then you need to take into account how carefully the person is showing the number. If they are doing a fast sloppy version they might sign 1 800 (using the eight-hundred sign). But if they are being careful and slow you will see individual numbers: 1 8 0 0 .

@@sign-language Great feedback, thank you so much Dr. Bill!

[@fruityvibe9422]

Hey Bill, I took asl 1,2, and 3 on your KZbin account, is that equal to doing it in college? Thanks by the way

[@sign-language]

College students are expected to do 2 hours of homework for every hour in class. If a student doesn't do that then their skills will be much lower than a student who does do the homework. Plus college classes often have other assignments such as reading a textbook, reading as supplemental book or articles on culture, lab time, and/or in-class interactive practice. So while in general we can say that my KZbin ASL 1, 2, and 3, are roughly equal to college-level ASL 1, 2, and 3 - your mileage may vary considerably. Most of those video clips were indeed recorded as part of live college courses with actual students taking ASL 1, 2, 3, and 4.

@@sign-language that makes sense. I guess I make up for the other part by paying deaf people to be my friends and sign with me, lol. Thanks doctor bill

[@commishguy]

@@sign-language 1-30 is ASL 1? 31-60 is ASL 2? How is ASL 3 labeled in the videos? I didn't see a 61, etc.

she seems uncomfortable lol or confused like wtf is he signing

[@sofiamorehead418]

i'd bet it's just being in front of everybody; i'm majoring in asl-english interpretation in college, and i was like that too at first when put on the spot in class even though it's something i'm very interested in and my ideal career with asl involves some degree of socialization. it can just be intimidating to be in a second-language class, especially for people who have never had a real second language (like most americans). dr. bill could never make anyone uncomfortable, are you kidding? /lh
