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?

Can you please help me? I can not figure out what you are saying after she asked you what kind of pizza you like? You are pointing at ur face twice. 27:1??? 5:32

[@sign-language]

@@michaelgustafson9947 At the 5:32 mark we are talking about cookies. I told her I like Oreo cookies and mimed taking one apart and licking the frosting. The sign where I touched my face was actually a casual version of the sign for "know." (As in, "ya know?")

[@CaseyMarkov]

you know it's a great feeling when you sign "I like your shirt" to a deaf person and they understand it. that was the greatest feeling I had yesterday THANKS BILL

[@BooksToAshes]

Being able to know what's being said in a conversation really makes me feel like I'm learning a lot. I'm so thankful for these lessons

[@rivqahcoover7488]

I love your lessons. You have such a great sense of humor and make me laugh. I never knew that sign language could be so delightful. You are helping to make one of my dreams come true.

[@8BitEggplant3]

While I was busy trying desperately to remember how to spell "mediterranean" Dr. Bill made it easy by just specifying hummus! I can't express how grateful I am for these lessons, I've wanted to learn ASL for years having worked in restaurants and having Deaf customers and feeling so bad for having to resort to writing to communicate or stressing that my lips weren't readable. Now I'm finally realizing that goal. I don't have the means to support your work as it stands now but I really hope I can in the future, just to say thanks. You are by all means a hero for what you do.

[@sherrycrothers3205]

Hi. I’m glad to find u on this. I’m born deaf and mother didn’t know till school found out and she still doesn’t accept so I had to talk and lip read and have those cholears on and I lost my coristol and I cannot wear my aids anymore so your class helps me catch up and I noticed some signs changed. I need help so bad and now starting not to wear my aids no more. My voice causes problems. U teach the right way. Thank u. Keep going pls.

[@Cutman3030]

Dang Katelyn got REAL good at ASL! Wonder if she still keeps up with it

[@danielrennie8444]

Hello, Dr. Vicars. While I am a hearing person, I have found a recent fascination for ASL. Your videos have been most helpful, and I very much enjoy your sense of humor and how you retain a light-hearted nature to your lessons. It makes them easier to learn for me, at least. I also wanted to say that in this lesson in particular, Katelyn missed out on a great opportunity to quote the Green Eggs & Ham book when you asked her if she liked green eggs & ham. I would have attempted to sign back, "I do not like them, Sam I. Am," to quote the book hahaha. Thank you for all your hard work in preparing these lessons and your teaching style that makes each lesson so enjoyable. -Daniel Rennie

[@sign-language]

My pleasure! Thanks for the nice feedback! Those early lessons were being broadcast live to about 5,000 people via the local cable channels. So I am impressed that Katelyn could think straight at all while learning a new language in front of that many people.

[@danielrennie8444]

@@sign-language Yes of course! I didn't realize that. Under those circumstances, then, I'd say she nailed it! And I can't say I'd have done much better either!

[@XALi-qm3kp]

Watching this lesson at midnight makes me hungry XD At the question "You prefer hamburger or hotdog?" I feel the desire of ordering a hamburger arise as I answer. Edit: As I proceed on this lesson, there are more and more types of fingerspelled food that I don't recognize (English is not my first language) and I have to look up on Google...Now I'm going downstairs to grab some snacks even though I ate a lot for dinner!

[@amandagrimes9051]

for "what soup do you like?" it took me about ten minutes to figure out you were signing "split peas" i couldn't decipher an M from a T and a K for a P Splim? Splimpeas? Sklimks? lmao finally figured it out lol

[@sign-language]

Oh hey, I absolutely love Sklimks soup! Especially with a bit of ground rosemary!

[@rhondamckay3404]

hi Bill i'm so glad that i've came across your site, i've been wanting to learn signing for yeeeeears and always putting it off so now that i'm staying home to stay safe now is the best time, your method is so easy, relax n funny hope to enroll in my country, im from Trinidad W.I n I teach pre school my little ones will love it esp knowing animal signs, tnx again, take care :-)

[@peacecitizen1]

Always the best instructional videos!

[@hollisterlasers-ion8939]

I'm having a lot of trouble seeing Bill's thumb in this video. At 2:06 Bill fingerspells PINK LADY for the kind of apple that the student likes to eat. At 4:30 Bill fingerspells LUCKY CHARMS for the kind of cereal the student likes to eat, then signs "LUCKY" and fingerspells CHARMS. At 14:05 Bill signs NO, NEED PICK ONE, meaning that his students have been signing BOTH when he's asked them to choose their favorite from hamburger and hotdog, and he wants them to pick one to learn the sign for each food. At 20:50 Bill fingerspells TOMATO then signs TOMATO. At 23:57 Bill fingerspells ITALIAN WEDDING (which is a kind of soup). at 24:12 Bill signs (I assume) ITALIAN and then another variation of ITALIAN, then fingerspells WEDDING again and signs WEDDING.

[@sign-language]

At around 14:05 what I sign is: You must pick one! I suspect what was happening was the students all started telling me "both." While the sign "BOTH" is a great sign to know, I wanted them to practice signing either "hamburger" or "hotdog" so that at the end of the lesson they would have formed a memory of the signs HAMBURGER and HOTDOG. If they all just signed BOTH then when later during testing they might remember the sign BOTH but not remember how to sign HAMBURGER and/or HOTDOG. Again, it is fine (and encouraged) to know and learn the sign for BOTH -- but sometimes I have to make sure the students learn certain signs at certain times. Tip: Compare "FIND" versus "PICK" (one handed version). Tip: PICK has half a dozen versions. See: kzbin.info/door/Zy9xs6Tn9vWqN_5l0EEIZAsearch?query=pick You might need to use "desktop" mode for that particular link to list query results.

Hello! Bill. I am so excited that you have all these amazing videos available for me to learn ASL. Please take a moment out of your time and tell me what the sign is. 18:43-19:01 When you respond to her question by tapping your face. You spelled the word and you explained it well, however, I am not able to get it. Thank you!

I was showing her a few ways to express the concept of "vegetable" and vegetarian. See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/v/vegetarian.htm Also see: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/v/vegetable.htm

[@thrivinginamber2642]

"Prefer Hamburger (shift) hotdog" reminds me of the "hotdog rule", which goes like this: If you find yourself putting so much stuff on that you end up with enough to call a sandwich by itself, then just do it that way and skip the first step altogether~

[@destinypowers1146]

i love your lessons Bill. when we sign to someone deaf, aren't we supposed to say words as we sign them, by only moving lips?

[@lacyehepler8521]

Thank you. :)

[@lisajackson1913]

Dr. Bill, thank you for making all of these videos! I am newly learning ASL, and your videos are a fun, helpful, non-intimidating way to learn! At 5:40, when you are spelling O-R-E-O, what is the sign where you tap your cheek with your fingers?

[@sign-language]

Great question! The sign where I tapped my cheek with my fingertips was an example of a very casual / relaxed form of the sign "know" as in "ya know?" In books the sign is shown on the forehead. In real life though the sign often makes contact much lower.

[@lisajackson1913]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@lissa9714]

Hi Bill. Not sure if you remember but you did a series of sign language lessons a year ago but you only did 6 of them. I searched up "American Sign Language (ASL) Lesson 07 (version)" and this is what came up first aside from the ones you did 6 years ago. I'm just asking, is this the continuation of those lessons? This one seems a little advanced from the last one you did, lol.

[@sign-language]

It is the same series. See: lifeprint.com/asl101/lessons/lessons.htm You are about halfway through ASL 1.

[@seraph511]

Lol I can't eat 3 hamburgers like his son but I do have the classic 16-year-old-teenage-boy appetite when it comes to Chinese food. I think my record is 6 adult-sized dinner portions from a restaurant near my old house called "Asia cafe". Question for any students or parents... At deaf schools for kids in the USA, do they also have introductions, fun facts, icebreaker games etc. on the 1st day of class? I ask because in Korea they don't, but in America (mainstream schools) they do. I think it would be a good fun fact for me to introduce myself if I was still a student!

[@matthewmartens446]

What is the sign you make at 11:14? With the index and middle finger making a peace sign touching the palm then rotating. I know it was in a previous lesson but I forgot. Thanks

[@sign-language]

That sign means: "meaning, intent, purpose"

[@hollisterlasers-ion8939]

Dr. Bill, your name sign is very close to that of the sign for VEGETABLE. Did you choose that name sign because you like vegetables a lot?

[@sign-language]

Actually the name sign used to be a bit higher on the head as a "joke" sign regarding my bald head. It was given to me from Dr. Boley Seaborn -- a former classmate of mine in the doctoral Deaf Studies / Deaf Education program at Lamar University. (He passed away unexpectedly and relatively young back in 2006). Over time the name sign gravitated to the dominant temple area of the head. So, while I "do" like veggies -- they are not involved with my name

[@brianmartel7547]

21:00 topic clam soup appears. Are you literally "speaking" soup or is chowder inferred? When talking about chowder, Manhatten vs NewEngland, would one FS both or use a sign? Thanx

[@sign-language]

If the person doing the signing is "bilingual" and/or does the shopping (and therefore sees the can) that person will likely know that "chowder" is intended by the sign "soup." Honestly? The wife (Bee) and I just spell "clam chowder" when conversing with each other. Those of us who are Deaf can spell clam faster than most folks can do a two-handed awkward clam-shell open/close/open movement. Then we just do cursive version of chowder that hits the CH mumbles the middle and hits a strong R at the end. Heh. If you think about it though, clam chowder is really just thick clam soup. As far as Manhattan style -- no freaking way we are spelling that out. In real life it tends to be: 1. clam soup white or 2. clam soup red (Or spelling of clam soup and adding red or white only if there are both options provided -- otherwise defaulting to white. Oh sure, you will get some folks who get all concerned about it and actually know how to spell Manhattan -- (but generally not out here on the West Coast).

[@danielrennie8444]

I also wanted to ask, what was the sign around the timestamp 30:42? I understand the "girl" part of the sign, but I seem to have forgotten what the 3-fingered "6" hand shape saluting on the forehead is. Thank you again, Dr. Vicars.

Tip: Include a time code such as 0:00 but of the time in the video to which you are referring (or maybe a second earlier). That way people can jump right to that spot and see what I'm signing and help you out.

what you mean by v finger flipping on cheek ?

[@sign-language]

Ken, When asking about specific signs it helps to include a time code in the format of 0:01 (minutes:seconds) of the time just prior to the sign you want to know about. That way people can jump to the area of the video and see exactly what sign you have a question regarding and have a better chance of helping you out.

[@AJ_DGAF]

@@sign-language -15:48 is an example of the sign he is referring to. I am curious to know what that means, too! 😊

[@sign-language]

Oh hey, thanks for the time code. The sign at 15:47 (extending to 15 : 48) is the sign for "prefer / preference / favorite" and similar meanings. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH3dlZVrq9eXmtU

[@katalinadickson1009]

I do not know what he spells at 26:43 It is too fast

[@sign-language]

Tip: The question is what kind of cookie do you like. I reply by spelling something that starts with an "O" has a number of letters and ends with an "L." You are not expected to catch all of the letters in-between -- rather you are encouraged to look for an overall shape and flow to the spelling and then fit it into the context of a type of cookie and then make a guess: O□□□□□□L. Also, I encourage you to learn and practice how to control the KZbin video player in order to benefit the most from the time you invest watching videos. It helps to watch the videos on a desktop or laptop internet browser with a full-size keyboard and use keyboard shortcuts such as: To play or pause a video click on the spacebar. To jump backward 5 seconds use the "left arrow" key. While the video is paused, move to the next frame by pressing the period key "." While the video is paused, go back to the previous frame by pressing the comma key "," Speed up the video playback rate by pressing SHIFT and "." (which is how you type ">") Slow down the video playback rate by pressing SHIFT and "," (which is how you type "
