American Sign Language (ASL) Lesson 18 (preceded by 17.D)

Notes: Since the previous class ran out of time, I added 17.D to the beginning of this video.
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. Sarah is an actual ASL student. You can learn along with her as she progresses. For additional lessons and signing information, visit Lifeprint.com.

Hello ASL Heroes!!! Hey, if you are in a position to, 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 videos (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. :)

Thank you Dr Bill for your hard work and generosity. My 5 year old son, Mattias, is not deaf but he was born with a genetic condition that prevents him from speaking. I'm trying to learn sign to communicate with him and your lessons have been greatly needed and appreciated. Though we are still learning and the progress is slow, you have given my son a voice. It is the only way he can express himself since he cannot talk. Thank you so very much. God bless you.

[@collectables_5887]

This video has sound! How nice, I like to hear when people are signing ( like their hands touching/hitting )

[@melmac15]

And the laughter! It was nice to hear the laughter! 😂

[@shahminhajuddin]

Haha 02:25 for that 1 second it felt like Dr Bill saw me ;D

[@justincleroux5798]

Thank-you for uploading ASL level 2 videos! I was about to continue from where I left off a while ago with the level 2 videos that you sell, but checked your channel first to see if there was anything new. These videos are much better quality. Thanks again and great job putting quality videos out!

[@kellycronk3022]

Dr Bill, I love and appreciate the sound, we can actually hear your enthusiastic signs. Much love for you. Ty

[@sign-language]

I should pay a sound technician and a comic book "letterer" to add sound and visual effects to my signing. Thoom! Whack! Whoosh! Oh...and a laugh track. Gotta get a laugh track.

[@lorenaleal4986]

Hello there! I just want to say your videos are so fun and great to learn. As a hearing student I am learning as much as I can so I dont lose it. Its hard in a small city, very conservative. I force myself to go to a café and practice by myself. I love getting interesting looks and sometimes people tell me if im playing. No I just tell them that Im studying sign language and want to be a translator. I love this language and the beauty that it has. I love to dance and express myself. My city is looked frowned on dance in places but for some reason sign language lets me get away with it. I will keep practicing and thank you from a fan. peace keep up the good work

[@md5548]

What city frowns on dance?

[@marisac.5303]

It"s a good thing I can slow it down, cause he signs fast! He's very funny I enjoy watching Professor Vicars.

[@iamchristiancraig]

2:25 felt like Dr. Bill was frowning on my technique for a sec LOL

[@Vulnresati]

so there are still new comments

[@pedropadilla3738]

Thanks for the class, helped me a lot

[@stephenp117]

I'm learning AOL too

[@laowai1973]

@ 6:10 Dr. Vicars wonders about the Chinese Sign for miso. Actually, you'll want to go with the Japanese sign for that. Here you go, 2 signs together (repeated for learning) starting at 13 seconds in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGaseKB_ZqlghdU

[@sign-language]

Thanks for sharing that! "stir" + "drink from bowl" = "miso" Excellent!

[@lifeonlowbatteries8153]

This one has background noise! I don't know why but I love it so much.

[@kishaunarcher223]

The sign for “pineapple” is also a sign name a friend gave me because my name is kishaun and I have dimples. I don’t use it (I have another one I like) but I thought that was so funny

[@reginaldcortez9183]

Bill salt is good for all that use it. It does not elevate blood pressure that's a fakes hood. With out salt the human body would kill it's self, fact. Love your ASL class.

[@sign-language]

Oh hey, I love salt! Problem is when it comes to salt you can have too much of a good thing. Sodium poisoning is real. See: www.poison.org/articles/sodium-too-much-of-a-good-thing

[@jamesabcreading6277]

At the 17minute mark - she asks, "have you lost your keys before?" You shake your head no but I am not familiar with the signs you reply back to her. Can you explain your response please? Thank you~ :-D - Never mind - I just watched the beginning of lesson 19 where you teach "sometimes" and "often" :-D

[@kendracook6068]

Haha just wondering, can you use the subway sign to refer to the restaurant, or do you use something else?

[@sign-language]

Yes indeed. The sign for "subway" applies to both the transportation and the restaurant.

[@bayside833]

Her face is so beautiful 😁 love your videos bill!

[@ponybellagames]

I try to find this on a website to do asl but it was not there.But thank you for the video i want to try to be good on asl.

i sign S.E.E and im learning A.S.L

[@MeghanColette3]

Hey Bill - I have a question about dominant hands, and the answer seems to differ depending on whom I ask. Does it matter if I switch my dominant hand while signing? What if I consistently use my left hand as dominant (I'm left-handed), but use my right hand to spell? Is that super confusing for people to read? Thanks, and thanks so much for the videos - they're incredibly helpful!

[@aubreyk.3098]

if you mainly sign with you left and spell with your right a true deaf or hard of hearing person won't mind only other hearing people will care. I am also left handed and sometimes switch but ive been told that it's fine. it's only bad if you constantly switch off hands for signing

[@ciaraswilley1394]

i teach my friend sign language, and she is left handed. I've noticed she switches too. it doesn't mater unless your constantly doing it in a sentence. try not to switch hands in the middle of signing and you should be good. thanks! hope i helped

[@ciaraswilley1394]

i don't think it matters if you use different hands to sign and to finger spell with

[@John-nz8ov]

It really just comes down to which hand you're holding your beer with.

[@ciaraswilley1394]

thats not even funny

[@shahminhajuddin]

Link to 17D ? Did I miss something?

[@user-hg2he8fj8z]

what did u fingerspell at the end? ciarco? the place in Egypt? I've been rewatching trying to figure it out but I feel like I'm unable because it's not a familiar place that I'm aware of anyways so it kinda hinders my ability to "connect the dots" persay and figure it out

[@sign-language]

MK, What is the time code? Use a 0:00 format and it will create a link. Best is to list a time about 3 seconds before the moment you want me to review.

[@user-hg2he8fj8z]

@@sign-language 40:54 . I believe u were saying who rode on an elephant before, which someone answered yes and then you ask where. I watched it a few times over and I'm assuming it was a place that was fingerspelled. I just cant figure out what.. circo? maybe it was circus? thank u for ur help, its been bothering me I cant figure it out lol!

[@sign-language]

That is definitely "circus." Tip: If you watch the video with a keyboard you can click the space bar to stop the video then click the "period" key (which also has the greater than ">" symbol on it) to advance one frame at a time. That way you can analyze fast spelling and have an easier time figuring it out.

[@user-hg2he8fj8z]

@@sign-language ahhhhhh I see it now! and that is a very helpful tip with the spacebar!! thank u so much for ur help and for commenting back. it was driving me crazy I couldnt figure out the word!

[@CaseyMarkov]

possably a dumb question but what would the sign be for bell pepper would you do it like you did with pepper at 9:47 and spell bell or would you do the sign for bell and then pepper?

[@sign-language]

Some variety out there but my wife and I tend to spell "bell" then use the initialized (P hand) "PEPPER" sign for "bell pepper."

[@CaseyMarkov]

@@sign-language awesome thanks Dr. V

[@sign-language]

A way (not the only way) to sign "green pepper." kzbin.info/www/bejne/marUfpltatxkia8 Some prefer to spell pepper when referring to bell peppers.

[@stephenp117]

salt doesn't make your blood pressure go up. lack of proper nutrition and lack of vitamins and minerals causes blood pressure to go up.

[@homeostasis8277]

Salt makes your b.p go up. One of the lifestyle modifications for hypertensive patients is to reduce their salt (sodium) intake. A class of anti-hypertensives (diuretics) target sodium removal from the body.

[@reginaldcortez8763]

OK Stasis the floor is yours prove your assertion.

[@POTUSRA]

7 months late but here's your answer: When you eat too much salt, which contains sodium, your body holds extra water to "wash" the salt from your body. In some people, this may cause blood pressure to rise. The added water puts stress on your heart and blood vessels.
