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. :)

... when you realize that you are finally understanding some of the comments in between the vocabulary and practice phrases ~ Woohooo! Thank you Dr. Bill for these lessons!

[@sign-language]

Good job! Keep up the great work! Your brain is enhancing specific neural pathways to enable you to catch more and more signing.

[@chrisreber905]

Bill Vicars I enjoy the humor you bring in to the lessons. I makes them fun.

[@hollisterlasers-ion8939]

At 15:03 Bill asks "Who in this room has glasses?" A student responds. Bill repeats to Sarah "They can't see me. Same. I forgot my glasses." What does he sign next? I saw WORK, FILL-UP, TIME/WHEN. Is he signing something like "It's hard work to see when you don't have your glasses"?

[@sign-language]

I signed: I BEFORE GLASSES ME. FOR MANY YEARS, I GREW-UP GLASSES ME. THEN LASIK! SEE!

[@hiphillbert]

Sarah is a trooper for being on this channel for so long

[@sign-language]

Sarah was freaking awesome to work with. Wonderful person! She showed up even when she was tired or didn't feel like it because she cared about the work. She is the type of person you want on your team for sure.

[@imkool5988]

@@sign-language Sarah does rock! I laughed so hard when you were teaching her the word SURPRISE (on an older video) and you hit your hands on the desk in front of you 😄😄😄. She jumped so hard! I have rewatched I know more than a dozen times.

[@sign-language]

I seriously miss in-person classroom teaching. (Typing this during the third semester affected by the pandemic Spring 2021). There is (the potential of) such magic sitting next to someone in real life and conversing with them.

And you’re such an awesome person and teacher that even online you can have hilarious interactions! Just wanted to thank you because I’m finally finishing watching the ASL 1 playlist!

Thank you so much Dr. Bill for teaching us ASL. I loved learning this language and I am doing my best to communicate with others. I started learning it since quarantine started and it is one the best thing I have done. Once again, thank you and be safe!

I took my last college ASL class back in 2009, and unfortunately lost a good deal due to lack of practice. I'm very grateful for your site and this channel to help get caught up so I can apply to NTID in the next few years. Thank you!

I'm taking a Russian class on my computer so I'm learning two langue's at a time its hard but easy at the same time! This is so cool how fast you can learn it compared to public school.

[@ylstaggs]

Love this, I’m a beginner! To be a sign language interpreter do you have to learn sign 1 through 6?

[@sign-language]

Do you "have to" learn 1 thru 6? Depends on your current readiness for learning ASL. Most of these lessons are self-contained and you can benefit from them just by watching. However, I do recommend beginners start at the beginning and work their way through. See item 2 below. ============================ How to use ASL University to learn sign language for free: 1.

[@SkyAaronBrink]

hi Bill! It seems like you have different versions. i am a little bit confused right now. And if I buy the driven-class things you taught here and the class the same? Thanks

[@sign-language]

The phrase "driven-class" doesn't translate well. My opinion is that you should not do the for pay class and just study the free materials.

[@alloraborialis5696]

Hello Dr. Bill! I'm not sure if you'll see this but at 13:15, in this context would you have to use the sign washing machine instead of the sign for wash? Would that make more sense or does it not matter? Thank you so much for these videos! Because of you I've learned over 150 words in just two months!

[@sign-language]

Hello Allora! The generic sign for "wash" feels awkward when applied to washing clothes. I suppose it could work for "wash a spot out of a piece of clothing via vigorous soapy rubbing. Instead think of the "machine-WASH" sign as meaning "launder." The question is thus asking "Do you like doing the laundry?" Most people, of course, don't, but that isn't the point -- the point is to get practice using certain types of signs via the question / response process. Interestingly, that machine-WASH sign can be paired with "dish" to mean dishwasher: DISH-(fs) + machine-WASH = "dishwasher" In that situation I recommend fingerspelling the word DISH but it is also okay to sign DISH + machine-WASH to mean dishwasher.

[@katherineanderson3694]

Hey Bill I don’t know if you knew this but this video is link only so those not on the life print website might not be able to see it :)

[@sign-language]

Thanks for the heads up. Seems for some reason or other I posted it as "unlisted." I'll see if I can figure out why I did that (heh) and if there is no reason then I will probably change it to public. (Thanks). Makes me seriously wonder though where the 1080p (higher definition) version of this video is on my hard drives. Maybe I can find it and re-post.

[@dnicole1391]

can someone explain why hes specifically signing "gallaudet" instead of "university"? I'm new to learning ASL but it looks like he's asking "do you want to go to glasses in the future?" which is super confusing

[@MicheleoTuTo]

17:56 DOCTOR BILL HAS LEGS!!!

[@sign-language]

Tut, tut ... let's not assume. I could be using prosthetics. To know for sure you'll need to find the video of me teaching that lesson the day I forgot my pants. I may not have uploaded it yet. Gotta get around to that.

[@MicheleoTuTo]

@@sign-language ahahah thanks for the answer, it made my day! I am an Italian living in Germany, I'm hearing, but it was always my dream to learn sign language. I tried to learn both the italian and the german one, but I couldn't find any course nearly as good as yours, so I decided to start with ASL and eventually expand to DGS or LIS. Long story short: your work is amazing, it makes me so happy learning with you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for it!

[@sign-language]

Tip: After you get through with my master playlist ( kzbin.info/aero/PL6akqFwEeSpiLwRFA3ZvuOWMwPXwI7NqA ) you'll probably have enough of a foundation to bootstrap yourself to the Deaf news in international sign language. Bookmark this link for when you are ready: h3world.tv/

@@sign-language DOCTOR BILL YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you so so much!

[@caspian_opus]

​@@sign-languageOoh, thanks so much! I'm an American preparing to permanently move to Germany and had a similar realization of how much better your course is than DGS ones available, especially as my German is weak still

[@hollisterlasers-ion8939]

At 4:14, I'm not sure what Bill is saying about his hearing aid battery, other than that it's SMALL. I think I saw the signs for MEASURE, IF, and 67.

[@sign-language]

Tip: The sign MEASURE can be done the way I did in the video to mean SIZE. I'm telling Sarah that my hearing aid battery is "size 13" not size "675."

[@StarOfAthenry]

@@sign-language Hi Dr. Bill! Still not certain I understand the signs you are using here. It looks like you make the signs for "6" and "7" and then make a face as if you've been shocked by the battery!

[@sign-language]

Sarah asked me “YOUR HEARING-AID BATTERY what-KIND?” To which I responded that it is small, 13, size 13, means it’s small. If (it is a) 675 it’s bigger. My (battery) is this size [depiction].

[@StarOfAthenry]

Hi, Dr. Bill! What do you sign at 34:42?

[@sign-language]

I sign "finish." (As in "I have already" been to Gallaudet.) I then add that I went there one summer and enjoyed meeting people and learning -- and completed my comment with a "yes" and a thumb up.
