American Sign Language (ASL) Lesson 12 (Cäsar Jacobson & Dr. Bill Vicars of Lifeprint.com)

[@sign-language]

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. Warm regards and love to you all. :)

Keep doing what you do. I learn so much from every video you make. I just need to find more people who know ASL to keep growing in my signing. I donated, because I hope you never have to stop making these videos. Stay healthy!

[@sign-language]

Thanks Zooshee! I'm grateful!

[@shirleycirio6897]

Simply a GREAT way to learn sign language. I have "a habit" of watching all of these videos.

[@Beckyg1016]

A memory aid that works for me for "every Saturday" (every Monday, Tuesday, etc.) - I picture a calendar and how all the Saturdays are in a column, so I'm marking off every Saturday from top to bottom on the calendar

[@Beckyg1016]

As I watch the video, the signs for WEEK and MONTH seem to follow the same logic (if you placed your hands in front of a calendar, your index finger would mark off a week when you did the sign for WEEK; or would mark of all of the weeks when you did the sign for MONTH). This is probably very obvious, but it helped me to type it out :)

[@ramonaali5617]

Hi Dr Bill I am wearing hearing aids but I am a speaking person I am now enjoying looking at your videos to learn Asl I want to learn wish you could be my teacher you are fun loving teacher makes Asl looks so easy stay bless and safe

[@68pointbreak]

Thank you. I watch your videos every day for almost 2 years. Ive learned a lot.

[@sign-language]

It is a relief to know that you've learned a lot after almost two years of watching my videos. Warm regards and best wishes to you!

[@clarissagarvey7080]

This is the first time I've watched a lesson in this format and I was loving it -- the extra vocab and corrections are very helpful! -- and then A CAT SHOWED UP and it's just the BEST! :D

[@sign-language]

"Katt" is the on-set supervisor. He secret goal though is be a movie star so he likes to do unscripted cameos.

[@Disconnectedpenguin]

I'm not sure if you still read these comments, but I've been going through the lessons & am trying to do about one a week, and this week was the first time that I saw you sign something & immediately knew what it meant!! I didn't have to consciously think through what you were signing, I just saw you do it and my brain provided the meaning! Thank you so much for putting these on the internet - it's honestly more helpful than the classes I took in undergrad.

[@sign-language]

I absolutely still read these comments and will do so until I die and/or lose my eyesight (or enough braincells to read). Thanks for the nice comment. Best wishes in your studies!

[@consumersismiller1300]

Am very thankful to you, sir, for making these videos. I’ve been learning from you and your students/assistants for a while now, and it’s always a pleasure. Thank you for making this world even more accessible so we can all benefit from communicating with one another. Much grateful love to you guys!

[@drumbum3.142]

Gotta Say; This Is So Relaxing, And Informative to Watch and Sponge In... 😌. Love It.

[@Ikahernandez1978]

👏🏻👏🏻☺️☺️☺️😀

[@Ikahernandez1978]

I love it 🥰

[@meme7591]

I have been looking for KZbin channel like this forever thank you... I have deaf cousins and I can't communicate with them all that well. And I'm also a vendor and sometimes deaf people need help. And I can sign it alphabetically but this is amazing. I am going to learn so much thank you

[@lorettaswiess5902]

Thank you Dr. Vicars with your response I found the place I am suppose to be ,I'm learning much better now! Before I struggled.

[@sign-language]

Wonderful!

[@richtaub]

Thanks again for this. I was wondering if I would have some thing good to watch tonight in the hotel room and this worked out well as good review and of picking up a couple of additional things too. It's much appreciated :)

[@sign-language]

Happy travels Richard! Hope you are home safe and sound by the time you read this.

[@Maria-ix1up]

Your cat is sooooo cute😍

[@AlexWishard]

45:35 awwww gimmie kittie! It's gorgeous! If you haven't already (I've made it a point to start this series first and not get distracted by other lessons), maybe you could do a whole lesson based on dogs, cats, pets and their respective signs (ball, fetch, litter box, groom, dog park, fish tank, etc.)?

[@sign-language]

That is a good idea. I'll have add that to my list of topics to do. Thanks! I do have a rather extensive "animal signs" series that Casar and I did. It is a pretty deep dive on animals. I think though that signs commonly used by families to discuss animals would be a great addition to that series.

[@AlexBizzar]

@@sign-language Awesome! I'm still pretty early to all of your lessons. Didn't realize you had so much. Thank you for all of your effort Dr. Vicars!

[@mariamorales3078]

Ami me encanta este idioma lo quiero aprender para comunicarme con los Niños de la Hescuela

[@nightrose131]

What does Cäsar sign around 42:07-42:10, after celebrating asking "HABIT YOU?" Thank you for these videos, btw!

[@sign-language]

[@NottiDDosama_BESTDUO]

I have Lesson 15 to ASL

[@katalinadickson1009]

what is the sign he does where he taps his thumb to his chest? Does it mean "fine"? 44:35 he does it multiple times In the video

[@sign-language]

Yes, it means "fine."

[@NottiDDosama_BESTDUO]

can i ASL?

[@katalinadickson1009]

Is the cat name Sugar? You mentioned her in other videos.

[@sign-language]

Tip: If you watch the videos on a full-sized browser with a keyboard -- you can press the space bar and then use the period "." and comma "," keys to go forward and backward one frame at a time which may help you to more easily figure out fingerspelled words. My cat is "not" named "sugar" but the name does start with an "S" and has five letters

[@katalinadickson1009]

what is the sign where he puts the finger in between his other hand? 1:26:33

[@sign-language]

It is an advanced version of the sign for "context." kzbin.info/www/bejne/hImlcoigrd-bjdU However, there are other ways: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoiWfKOlgZqFmJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/apCVdql6i5ibmq8
