ASL Fingerspelling Practice #3 | Improve Your Receptive Skills with More Practice

[@ChrisGorges]

What speed was most comfortable for you?

[@zoeware6926]

Medium speed is the best for me. Slow just helps me confirm it.

[@ChrisGorges]

@@zoeware6926 That's a good place to be, how long have you been learning?

[@zoeware6926]

@@ChrisGorges trick question. I've known the alphabet since I was about 3, but not been exposed much otherwise. Started trying to learn about 10 years ago but dropped the ball. Been learning again for a few months with my kids and being more intentional about it.

[@hollieallbaugh5753]

I can usually get about 50% of the name at the top speed, 90-100% at the medium speed so that helps me understand or confirm it.

[@nathanielbenson5371]

Right now second the second speed.

[@KeillyLim]

Liam - Fast Levi - Medium Logan - Slow Slow speed definitely works best for me cause I'm trying to spell and figure out how to pronounce it. HAHA! Who knew it was so difficult to figure out the spelt word in your head.

[@ChrisGorges]

It certainly can be difficult in the beginning but it does get a lot easier with more practice

[@MidnightSoulXx]

Liam Levi and Logan! I’ve taken ASL 1 at CSUS and I’m preparing for the second class this coming semester. I’m very comfortable with finger spelling, but I definitely need to practice my receptive skills. I seem to struggle with piecing the word together in my head once I see the letters/signs... instead I just focus on the letters themselves and then It takes me a minute to piece those letters together and think of the word they spelled. It’s so frustrating!

[@ChrisGorges]

Yeah, that is really common. What can help is rather than keeping track of the word letter by letter, try sounding out the word as it is spelled. That way you are stretching out ONE word rather than trying to memorize and piece together SEVERAL letters. Hope that helps :)

[@djedefrethequeen]

Liam Levi and Logan (but I had to watch the last one twice, because I thought you signed Leigh. 😂)

[@ChrisGorges]

Lol, great job getting all three names 👏 👏👏

[@KNV281]

[@Katy-yg7ys]

Liam: Fast Levi: Medium Logan: 3 times of watching the slow one! Thanks so much for making these practice videos! Super helpful!

[@ChrisGorges]

Great work! I'm glad that you enjoyed the practice videos 👍

[@deannesmothers830]

OMG, thank, thank for doing these videos. I love when you do the finger spelling someone’s name three ways and then allowing us to guess them. Please do a lot more of these because it’s allowing me to learn how to finger spell names and words and to recognize them when they are spelled.🥰

[@ChrisGorges]

That's great! I'll be sure to make some more of these as soon as I can, in the meantime, feel free to check out the rest of the videos in the series amd you can check out this video with some quick tips to make fingerspelling a little easier kzbin.info/www/bejne/baPIpGeojc-kpac

[@stephaniekirk3431]

Liam - third level Levi - third level Logan - first level It's those n's that mess me up. I sign with the fingers folded over the thumb.

[@ChrisGorges]

Great job getting them all though :)

[@ericbelrose1984]

The same here, I thought the n might be something else entirely. The o wasn't very round. I thought it was an e. I'm working with my daughter she wanted to learn.

[@oxoelfoxo]

@@ericbelrose1984 same, I thought it was an e! although he does his e with the open mouth. but I tilt my hand when I sign o so the circle is visible in front of me.

[@thetruth17]

Liam-2nd level Levi-2nd level Logan-3rd level I needed this. I feel so slow. Just have to keep practicing.

[@meditationmatterz7441]

the answer to number 1 in Liam, number 2 is Levi and number 3 is Logan! Keep on making finger spelling practice videos chris!!

[@anabeatrizgonzalez2623]

Liam it's the first one I've got at fastest!!! This made so happy!! Levi and Logan at medium, Logan with repetition. I'm falling for ASL 😍

[@ChrisGorges]

Great work!

[@thrivinginamber2642]

Hi Chris, I feel the best way to build letter recognition is to be "primed" with knowledge of the word just before looking at it being spelled. That way my brain spends it's time matching the available letters to the motions in order. I noticed that "ph" has a sweeping motion like the "j", and priming my brain to catch those distinctions helps me learn all this a lot faster, especially since there are a lot of differences between each signer's motions. It also helps to input directly into my sub processors, so I can let the letters fly and the word magically appears. So print the word for a half second and remove it just before fingerspelling it at a comfortable pace, wax-on, wax-off.

[@thrivinginamber2642]

Hi, three months later and I see now after practicing for a long time it's much easier to read and guess fingerspelling! Still it's easy to forget the steps I needed to take to get here~~

[@paulkotz3087]

Liam, levi, Logan! im getting better at these! i got the first the second try and the rest more than three times

[@ChrisGorges]

Great work!

Liam, Levi, Logan. I had to watch the last one several times. At first it looked like you were making an "e" instead of an "o".

[@ChrisGorges]

Very good!

[@justsokick]

Liam 1st speed Levi 2nd speed Logan 3rd speed

[@Deleventruly]

slow speed works best for me, I never know do I look into the persons' eyes while they sign or at their hands. As a beginner I struggle with this, I know facial expressions are very important but I often miss the signing.

[@ChrisGorges]

Yes, I understand, I was the same way in the beginning. The earlier you can train yourself to look at the person's face the easier it will become. Eventually you won't need to look at their hands at all unless they are fingerspelling something, be patient with yourself and keep up the hard work 👍

[@shellyedmb117]

Liam, Levi (those in fast), and Logan in medium speed.

No worries, if it was a little to fast, you can always adjust the playback speed and slow down the video a little further
