[@mhwharp]

love them but when you sign to folks off camera it is hard to read since we just get a side view. Thank you and God Bless

[@SuperGhostSS]

Bill Vicars, thank you for this lessons, both I and my girlfriend are using this to learn the sign language. I am deaf myself from England, using BSL and I am about to move to USA to live with my girlfriend who's not deaf but currently learning ASL. This channel provide us a lot, thank you.

[@KingKosma]

For those wondering at 40:40 Or so he asks her what her favorite book is and she responds US Magazine but she spells it incorrectly then corrects herself. So he reiterates the finger spelling properly and shows the sign for magazine.

[@chuanqisun]

Thanks for the hint! Were you able to decode what Bill's favorite book is?

[@sign-language]

I didn't name a specific book. Rather I indicated that I like many different books and particularly books by the author "Robert Fulghum." In that particular scene, the trick to catching "my" fingerspelling is to watch Katelyn mirroring me. The camera angle on her hand is better and she is holding her letters in place longer. Those early videos were never actually intended for external publication. It was an afterthought. Wish I could time travel and re-do them with closeups and high-resolution recording. Oh well. Onward and upward.

[@chuanqisun]

@@sign-language Thank you for the explanation and being so humble. I'm going through your apple ebook lesson 1-15 and found the videos here very helpful. I know they are the same in the ebook but having them on KZbin is extra helpful as I can watch them on my bigger monitor screens!

[@djburke87]

I love these videos! I just wish you all would either sign slower, or get a camera with higher FPS. The camera makes a lot of the signs choppy and hard to decipher. Thank you for all your work though! I am learning so much!

[@vidhead85]

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm a hearing person who has always loved to learn languages and ASL is a beautiful one I'm also teaching my students some of the signs I'm learning as I learn them too. It's been a great way to keep them quieter on the bus ride lol

[@MyTutoringBee]

Thank you so much for all of your videos! My grandparents were deaf, so I learned ASL at an early age, but this is helping me refresh AND learn new signs!

[@laurenreynoldsd8079]

I love this Guy. Wish I could take a class with him. Dr. Bill V. You appear to make learning ASL stress free , simple and fun. Your pleasant personality shows in every video I watch. What a pleasure to learn from you. Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@vanishedinthinair889]

Thank you loads for the videos. I'm learning and planning to teach my kids after school!

[@mikkyaa]

Love the videos! I learned ASL when I was younger, but have forgotten most of it by now (LOL). So it's so nice with videos like this when you want to brush up on old knowledge! The only thing I have some problems with is when you're fingerspelling towards her because it's hard to see from the camera angle, I don't know if the later videos is better, but keep up the good work anyway! :D A bit unfortunate that I'm not from America though xD because my friends use Norwegian Sign Language and there are no good videos like this in that language.

[@nahyongndifor]

Dr Bills thank you very much for the videos, I have always wanted to learn ASL and you just made it much easier.

[@crystalprice5075]

I love these videos. I randomly decided to teach my new baby sign and she has caught on wonderfully but i wanted it to be more than just milk, please, i love you, ect. and these videos are great but at lesson 9 it gets a bit harder to track and the video sometimes lags but Im going to keep watching over and over until i can keep up! 😁 thank you some much for putting these out for us!

[@rackjeacher]

Thank you soooo much for these videos Dr vicars

[@deaupside]

Love these lessons, thank you!

[@caroleharb6952]

thank you for these videos . I always wanted to learn these signs . it is very helpful ..I am sure if I continue I will be able to understand all these signs as sometimes I cannot understand or follow his hands 100 % :)

[@1lightdweller]

This and lesson 9 is where I start to get lost. Lot of stuff being signed I'm not sure of, and too rapidly. That, and the video comes across blurry often.

[@laurenreynoldsd8079]

1lightdweller for me to they get blurred and the finger spelling especially.

[@tomisoetan9061]

I have the same problem! My solution was to go to their website (lifeprint.com) and click on the lesson. I first learn all the signs that will be seen in that lesson and I see them separate from each other and signed without blurriness, then I go watch the video. If anything is too fast I slow the video down to *0.25. Always does the trick. For the blurriness I can usually guess the word by the way he starts signing it because I’ve already seen the signs on the website. Better camera quality would help but I’m just so glad they’re putting out these videos. Good luck signing!

[@sign-language]

Impressive! Tomi - you will go far and the world is a better place with you in it. Shine onward!

[@tinaatkins2853]

love this so much

[@rlopez8630]

always great vids. were those the signs for Spiderman, Hulk and Superman?

[@mimiedg7]

ty love your videos

[@finathedog5799]

At first I thought he said, "birds you like to eat someday?"

[@mariamjensen7170]

Lost when he signs fast to the side and she doesn't repeat...cant see his fingers

[@vanishedinthinair889]

Try again at a slower pace till you get it, it's very gratifying! xD

[@balimain1]

i got lost about 1/3 of the way in... slowwwww down plssss

[@sign-language]

With over 100,000 subscribers -- my speed will never be "just right" for everyone. In the videos I'm aiming my speed to be just right for my current student assistant who is, in fact, a real student. Thus all the people who are slower and/or faster than my current student will feel that I'm either going too fast or too slow. Tips for your consideration: 1. Go to Lifeprint.com and review the lesson vocabulary prior to watching the video. 2. Use a browser that provides a gear icon in the video player that offers "speed controls" and watch the video at a slower speed. 3. Use a keyboard and tap the space bar then use your arrow keys to jump back or forward 10 seconds and/or use your "comma" key to go back a frame and your "period" key to go forward a frame at a time. If fingerspelling is a challenge for you, consider going to my video list and searching for some of the fingerspelling practice videos: kzbin.infovideos Or see the playlist at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKUknSOpbulaNk For what it is worth: The original video series with Katelyn was not intended for public viewing but rather as part of an in-studio ASL hybrid course for an in-person audience. The videos were posted as "review" for those who were in the class. Later videos were created with better angles, higher resolution, and more emphasis on serving the "internet audience" (distance education students). Please know: I value the opinion of every student and am shaped by the overall feedback I receive. Thus I consider your comment as "one vote" for slowing down. Thanks - Dr. Bill Lifeprint.com

[@57haldir]

At around 13:10 he explains his/her but I don't quite understand his point. Anyone help?

[@WyattRyeSway]

He was talking about placement as you talk to people of mention them. Bob's on one side and Johns on the other. They are in different placements as he talks or even if he were tell someone about meeting Bob and John, their placement would be the same in relationship to him. You have 2 "he's" and you have to differentiate them in your sign space. I could be way wrong but I think that's what he was saying. It's a bit hard to see.

[@gameel68]

fantastic .

[@gracediehl7932]

Can anyone tell me what Dr. Vicars is signing at 39:31? Also, these videos are so helpful, I love the language and community. I’m so happy to have a free way to learn ASL :)

[@sign-language]

I sign: Ah, she's FFA. You know what that means? Future Farmers of America.

[@Ikahernandez1978]

Great 👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@gloriaklopping8713]

Hi Dr. Bill Vicars! I love watching your ASL videos I started learning about 3 weeks ago! I am a hearing person but I am very interested in ASL. You make the classes a lot of fun and interesting to learn! I really appreciate you and you also make me laugh a lot! Makes it easier to learn so I have a question! It is about grammar that is the hardest part for me to learn it! On this question you used 14. YOU GO ASL CLASS what time? Can you also sign ASL class you go what time? Thank you so much! :) in advance.

[@sign-language]

Gloria, Hello. Read through my grammar pages and if you still have questions about ASL Grammar let me know: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/grammar.htm Also see: www.lifeprint.com/linguistics/topicalization.htm

[@gloriaklopping8713]

Thank you so much Dr. Bill! I will check those links. I am watching you now and practicing your videos for about 4 hours a day! I love it. ..thanks :D. You are the best teacher I have ever seen.

[@laceygilmour2216]

i love the horse! i actually own one!

[@balimain1]

Wow.... this one suddenly went from easy to bloody hard.... please slow down !!!

[@bluebrookesongbird1]

Is there a genderless way to ask about someone's spouse/significant other if you're not sure which they have?

[@sign-language]

Use "partner." kzbin.info/www/bejne/epvMY4qofdRprJY

[@RedstoneCanis]

I can see just fine

[@Itsalittlelatte]

+Chris Peterson I have trouble reading the finger spelling when he signs fast...

[@heatherautrey5987]

What did he say his cats name was? I got that it is an old, black cat...lol

[@JocieFire]

Coco

[@aaperm6566]

vocab review 42:50

[@marieann5768]

What are they talking about in minute 38???.... looks like it's something about her being tired about something. Then he mentions she is young and he is old.

[@sign-language]

She asked me, "How do you feel." I told her I was "sad." Then she asked me how to sign "tired." Then I showed her. Then she told me that she had run 5 miles that day. I said she is strong and young whereas I'm old and can run five feet.

[@nathrael]

Dr Vicars, I love these videos. Do you by chance have a high quality version (high framerate) so I can study the fingerspelling closer? Oh hey, did I mention I love these videos? I'm starting to forget what my wife looks like... Did I mention I'm loving these videos as well as the cutie on your right?

[@MakoMori]

I'm confused... She says she has no pets but she says she has a horse?

[@bac051201]

at 8:00, cat?!?!?!

[@sign-language]

Yah...sorta funny how everyone was suggesting everything other than a cat.

[@alexandrebui4416]

Hello, what is the significance of "Ball Bird Bug Mail-Man Car Cat Bike"? Is it an inside joke? :-s

[@betem309]

Alexandre Bui he was asking what do dogs like to chase, those were examples

[@misssue7032]

You like to read self help comic books??

[@melindapressler5946]

Very frustrating not to show viewer spelling of words -
