Let me start off by saying how much I admire your videos and relationship! ❤ Just found your channel and have been binging your videos. Nee subscriber!🌸 My mother had a deaf friend when she was young so she learned sign language so that they could more easily communicate. She said that it was like their secret language in school..(they were in elementary school). My mom found that this was life changing for her and taught me sign language when I was young. We would regularly communicate this way so that it stayed fresh in my head and I was able to practice. I actually picked up on it fast and loved it as a child almost as much as I do now. ❤ I have been able to use this knowledge to help at work. If someone needs translation between asl and speaking then I can help them to understand each other and that makes me happy. I have a one year old daughter now and I have taught her to express basic needs through sign and am planning to continue to teach her all that I know. I want her to be able to help others but my main goal is to give her the opportunity to understand and communicate for herself...so that if she is so lucky to have a friend like my mom had, or a partner then she will instantly be able to communicate and strengthen that bond!! ❤ Sorry for the long comment but I feel very deeply about this and am so happy to have found your channel!❤❤❤

Thanks for joining the sign fam! that's so awesome that your mom taught you what she learned in elementary school!! And now that you use it at work! See how awesome sign language is🤟🏻

First time on this channel and was expecting her to be deaf, idk whyyy. But was like oh she sounds amazing, she must've progressively lost her hearing. Then he started signing and I'm waiting for him to talk. And he doesn't, so I'm like "Why he NO talk?". I swear y'all I'm a dumb ass.

One time I was sitting in my 5th grade class just messing with my hands and I noticed the sign language interpreter was talking about me because her and the student were looking at me and laughing. Turns out she was saying “wow, Danielle must be very comfortable” because I apparently kept signing comfortable over and over again without knowing it. Lol 😂 but now I’ll never forget what the sign for comfortable is!

[@drakep271]

The answer Ellen gave at 1:47 is soooo spot on. I'm learning ASL, and Ellen speaking while signing helps my vocabulary lots for exactly the reason she described. But then having Ryan in between is a great way to test my skills, like they said. AND I like watching each answer Ryan gives once without captions and once with, so I appreciate that the captions are optional. She described how I utilize the videos so accurately it's like she's reading my mind 😂 love the videos!

I rarely see a hearing and deaf couple mainly because of the language barrier. But it is truly amazing to see you two make it work no matter the differences. My parents (who are deaf and I am hearing) said that it would be so hard for them to date a hearing person.

[@ssilverlake]

Wow that's amazing usually when two deaf people have a child, that child is also deaf. How did they go about teaching you how to speak, and sign if they cannot speak themselves. Or do they speak? I hope you're not offended by that question. I know sign language and am hearing, I just really wondered what that was like for you.

[@metwix]

SSilverLake - that’s a great question

[@madisynbaker3422]

when my dad was growing up one of his friends parents were deaf so when he went over there they would sign and he picked it up, and his friend taught him too. One day my dad was showing me some signs and i just had this wave of realization of how much respect i have for the deaf community, or just people who sign in general because i could never do it😂😂

[@susanvee6479]

Im also hearing, i like when she talks so i can look at her hands cause im trying to learn sign, but usually when ryan talks i have to look at the closed captions encase i miss a word sign i don't know. Thank Ellen for verbally talking.

She knew some sign language and went to his table to take his order and the man was super gracious that someone there knew how to sign. Ever since reading that, I've been trying to learn sign language just from KZbin videos and I love it. I also prefer it because I hate the sound of my own voice haha..

I just found your channel because your "Would You Still Be Together if She Didn't Sign" video was recommended to me a few days ago. I found myself coming back today and binging your other videos. I think that original video stuck with me because it was touching to see that Ellen knew so much and read articles about deaf and hearing relationships. And as I watched your other videos today, I saw the care and love went both ways like Ryan worked on a frickin house for Ellen, and just ahhh you're so supportive of one another! I was honestly surprised to learn that you guys are only 21 or something, because I feel like your empathy and connection and understanding for one another are just so ahead of other people your age. Trust me, I'm 18 and my friends still get hung up on like "oh no, my Tinder date left me on seen!! what is the meaning of this??" Your relationship seems stronger than most hearing-hearing couples I know because you guys truly try to understand each other. I'm just really inspired by you guys like even the way you look at one another is adorable, and I love seeing love, and what you guys have is beautiful :) Subscribed, and followed on instagram too!

[@HOLDENHIPHOP]

Man, I love you guys so much! What's amazing about your relationship is that you can see when one person speaks (signs) the other person is listening (watching) attentively. So many people in relationships (or in generally really) just talk at each other and the person "listening" can't wait to interrupt or get their two cents in. But with you guys you can really tell that you're active listeners. It's slightly ironic yet amazing, and is probably one of the many reasons you work so well together! Just something I've picked up on after watching some of your videos!

I don’t even know, but I love how visual ASL is, and your videos are helping me learn a lot more! p.s. Your videos calm me down so much. you guys have such a mellow vibe that I love.

[@charlied2272]

I'm learning ASL and lately I find myself having to hold back from signing when I'm speaking with hearing people, so I just move my hands around in gestures like some hearing people do instead. Even when I'm thinking, I often imagine I'm signing along with my 'inner voice'.

[@hadassahsoddsandends]

Thank-you so much for speaking! And I thank him for not trying. This is all very helpful to me as a beginner! And the CC helps tremendously, too. Perfect balance to help me learn.

I watch all your videos twice. Once without closed captions or sound, second time with both.... it’s so helpful to practice, I test myself to see how much I can understand the first time through... then the second time I definitely learn new vocabulary and having the voice and visual is so helpful!

[@User-keykey17]

This is probably my fourth video of yours that I’ve watched. I like how you talk when you sign because I don’t know sign language. So I have to turn on the closed captions. It just makes it easier for me to understand. Love your videos. 😘

It would be really cool to see you guys do a video with Ryan’s mom! And maybe do a q&a with her? and have her talk about what it was like raising a hearing impaired child, give some insight, and maybe even some advice to people who are raising or just became parents to a hearing impaired child! 😊Love you guys xx❤️

It’s so mesmerising watching you both sign

That answer is perfect! Definitely learning from seeing her sign and listening to her speak, and also activating my brain more by being tested when he signs and doesn't speak. It's great!
