Deaf Questions About The Quarantine

we love to see it: our favorite underrated couple

[@lunagrande5634]

@kassidy Yesssss!!!

hey! So nice of you to say :D

[@preciousemplamado9937]

YASSS I FOUND MYSELF BINGE WATCHING ALL OF THEIR VIDEOS😭💕💕💕

I found then from my searches for deaf youtubers, I'm happy I did

[@harmonymorse704]

Any other good ones you suggest?

[@izzybforever]

Ryan is such a character his sassiness gets me through the whole vlog lol

[@danpootato896]

I sign ISOLATION for Quarantine also!! HAHA I’m so glad I’m not the only one...

[@SignDuoChannel]

Daniel Yong hahaha yes! 😆-E

[@brendabalzan1994]

I never signed in my life... I think I learned how to sign "Coronavirus", "need", "hospital" and "mask" today. I don't know for how long I will remember them but hopefully for a long long while.

[@ijersayu5053]

i sign physical isolation

[@brendabalzan1994]

I remembered "isolation", "quarantine" and "food/eat" too today, yay

[@femke97]

(I know I’m late) Just found out that it is the sign for quarantine in Dutch sign language!😄

[@themerryrabbit5040]

My mom is deaf and doesn’t know sign language so she relies solely on lip reading which is obviously very difficult during this time. It’s cool to see another perspective from a deaf individual on how to navigate such limited interaction that they’re normally used to having in order to communicate.

[@xxelladoreyxx2718]

Noah Grogg hey my mom is deaf to

[@HeliusSlayer]

Oh wow, yeah it's gotta be really rough if she wants to go out alone to the grocery store or maybe a restaurant.

[@MatthewSauceda]

Hey what a coincidence my mom does that too. But she learned how to speak English and Spanish. So she doesn’t have to rely on sign language to talk

[@amywestbeld9968]

I know ASL and am really good at reading lips and was able to have right sided cochlear implant surgery on September 6, 2019 and hoping soon to know about having left sided cochlear implant surgery.

[@themerryrabbit5040]

Amy Westbeld how did the implant impact you initially? My mom has looked into it but she’s been deaf all her life so I think it’s quite daunting to think about how life changing that would be to her because she only knows how to function as a deaf woman.

[@terris1104]

In the early 1990s, when I was learning to interpret, I was taught that 2 “i”s together meant “talk to yourself.” It is funny to me that THAT particular sign helped make the sign for quarantine. 🤣 Thanks for the video!

[@jasimenmetcalf1870]

Omg the cupcake convo was so cute 🥺😍❤️😩

[@Byllion]

I don’t know why I really love when you spell out words in sign. Its so fast it’s amazing to think that someone who understands ASL can “read” (is that the right term?) it so fast

[@crownedone200]

Haha i always think the same i have just begun to identify the first letter when they’re already done spelling it’s amazing though

[@kimjansen2036]

About the accessible news, here in the Netherlands they have an interpreter who's standing behind the prime minister during important speeches, which I think is really good, because not only can deaf people understand but also the interest in Dutch sign language has increased sooooo much! Like the registers for next year's signing classes have already doubled

[@KcKc13]

That’s really cool! I was going to chime in and say that I’ve seen on TV that a major Texas city near me has been using interpreters for speeches too which is awesome. Watching someone interpret public announcements like that with all the legal vocab can be hard for me to understand haha but I like trying to watch. Great to hear that people have become more interested!

[@mariamgaras4121]

Irmaaa!!

[@RiverWoods111]

Here in the US the camera people aren't really Intune and often crop out the interpreter and only focus on the person speaking. It is awful, but I have seen it so many times.

[@vixenvicky3842]

Here in Australia, the news have the speaker on the center screen where gameplay would be for lets players here on yt and then the interpreter would be on their own screen in the corner. Nice clear view for anyone deaf! Edited: I typed this before watching the video i didnt realise what its called until after. Picture-in-picture

[@gsjoe0073]

We have interpreters in canada too!

[@haileyp9658]

I feel like Ryan was extra cute this episode, I don’t know why

[@timmm8469]

I honestly don’t know why someone would dislike y’all if not on accident. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Love your videos!! You guys are really inspiring.

[@RiverWoods111]

You do realize that there are trolls who go through hitting the dislike button without even watching the video. They somehow think they are hurting the channels, but in reality even the dislikes help the channel in the analytics because it is about interactions, not positive or negative.

[@roshnasadanandan91]

Ryan's imitation of hearing people on that chair at 1:27 still gets me😂😂

[@Emma-ym6gg]

Do you guys think its harder to avoid touching your face while out in public, like at the grocery store, since a lot of signs involve that?

[@r.darling4135]

i was wondering this too

[@emmaroberts534]

Foxxa Chan Productions sometimes that could be hard if you are tapping your face fast it could move too fast and hit your face

[@Surdeigt]

I just sign lower on my body and try to not touch my face ☺️

[@kittehkat69]

i have a tic where I can't help but touch and rub my face alot so I just always carry hand sanitizer and sanitize everytime I touch something lol

[@mimimosa259]

4:08 is such a subtle comedic moment for me. Thank you both! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. You both are so cute and naturally funny.

[@danpootato896]

Mimimosa I laughed hard at that entire moment as well! Haha

[@mimimosa259]

Daniel Yong Also when Ryan asked her “you coronavirus?”, Ellen’s expression and the way she waved no was so funny 😂

[@iamOlorato]

I also realised while watching the news(press conference) that the picture-in-picture thing is better because when the interpreter was standing next to the speaker, the camera people would zoom out a lot or even show the audience when the speaker was talking. I'm not deaf but i would get angry because then someone out there isn't receiving all the information that i hear. I guess also camera people could just improve their ways to be more accommodating 🦋 All the way from South Africa, love y'alls channel ❣

[@rachelkim4457]

yea!!! In korea all news have picture in picture so I always am a little confused by why american news channels dont do that :((

[@lauracolby6038]

“I’m on thin glass” lmao i haven’t heard this term since childhood and it’s spot on for the occasion! It’s an old phrase, made new, thanks Ryan! *Ryan catching that fly out of thin air? Did you play baseball? Great reflexes!* NO ROOM FOR RUDE in the store!* My question is: do you guys play board games? Or Card games? That would make for good film. #signduofanOUT

[@oloughlinfamilyfriendlyfun7744]

You guys are amazing. I was originally a Deaf Education Teacher. I then became a Doctor of Audiology and practiced for 10 years before I became a stay at home dad for a few years. I now teach Middle School Sign Language and before the Shelter in Place for Corona virus happened I showed my students your "Threw my Food away in the Drive Thru" video. My students were shocked that this kind of discrimination could happen in today's society. We had a long talk about that type of problem. During my online teaching I plan on showing this video so they can get first hand knowledge about y'alls experience during quarantine. Thank y'all...stay safe. :-)

[@mariacorazon9788]

I really love Sign Duo. They’re so REAL and through this channel I became more aware of the deaf community. I’m trying to learn ASL and when you guys post it’s one of the highlights of my day! Watching you guys from Tokyo!! 🥰

[@SignDuoChannel]

Thank you Maria ☺️

[@lizkelly6613]

I’m hard of hearing and I am having a hell of a time communicating with people rn. Because of the masks and plexi glass It is so difficult to hear people that usually I just leave or buy something I wasn’t looking for because I can’t hear what the guy said. Another problem is people yelling across the street to me a greeting or neighbours trying to have a conversation and I am only catching small parts of the conversation. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for people who are deaf

[@Katelyn3666]

Hey I'm in the same boat right now as a hard of hearing person and it's especially hard for me at work but my co workers are generally nice about it and will repeat for me or point to what they need or pull down their mask for a minute if they can but it has been a real struggle. Limiting.

[@winros3042]

Both my parents were Deaf and my boyfriend is extremely hard of hearing and refuses to get hearing aids. I find it to be ridiculous that he doesn't he can afford them however, just refuses. I don't get it I don't understand and it's causing problems in our relationship.

[@Katelyn3666]

@@winros3042 It's a personal choice for every person. I would encourage you to talk it over with him and get him to explain his reasoning for it. It may be that he feels self-conscious or embarassed to wear them. (They do attract attention sometimes.) Just try to be there for him and be supportive.

I'm taking him to a hearing doctor 3 * the second and third time they put hearing aids on him and we walked around I spoke in my regular voice he heard everything perfectly! By him not hearing he speaks so loud it's unbelievable and if I ask him to lower his voice, he gets insulted! And I am very supported I am a child of deaf adults I get it... there's a little bit more the story with all respect to him I cannot throw it out there if you understand. Thank you though for your advice I appreciate it✌🤟🏻

[@lizkelly6613]

Katelyn3666 some of my coworkers have been ok they find it funny and pull pranks on me. But others are really rude. Rolling their eyes when I as them “sorry what?” Because I didn’t catch what they said. Even when I asked them to face me and speak louder they still don’t and somehow it’s my fault...

[@KennethBlank]

I love that here in Tupelo, Mississippi our mayor's office hired a sign interpreter. Most of the time he is there present at any of the important press conferences. If he's not there they do picture in picture. Some people have been mean about it making fun of how expressive he is and his clothing but many of us have tried to encourage him.

[@GeeklingNo1]

15:00 this is a bit issue with the visually impaired community too. I get ppl waiving at me and I can’t see them or people with king I’m rolling my eyes at them even tho I didn’t even see them. People need to just be more understanding and accept that you can’t always be seen and heard.

[@hidingfromsomeone]

I really liked that you taught us some new signs that are useful during this time! I'd love to see more of that in future videos - like when you go somewhere and get treats, could you teach us some signs that relate to where you are? I really like learning from you guys - Ryan especially makes it so easy to learn how the signs should look (from different angles and things). I really appreciate that!

[@GlashaRinta]

I loved this video so much because both Ryan and Ellen seemed more relaxed and happy!!! I love them so much and this is by far my favorite video, I loved it, especially when Ryan was laughing at Ellen’s sign😂😂

Glad to see that you like it! Thank you Elizabeth ❤️☺️

[@maisytube]

There’s a local organization in my community that makes special masks for current workers (doctors, supermarket employees, police officers) that are cloth everywhere and there’s a plastic piece where the mouth area of the mask is supposed to be (made of like face shield material) so that deaf and hard of hard of hearing people can still read lips in public spaces :)

[@SignDuoChannel]

Oh that’s really cool! Wow

[@katherinelacy6502]

I could see how the mask thing is a bit difficult for deaf people right now, but there is this college student who has started to make see through masks for the deaf community! She’s doing a really great job of making sure everyone has accessibility through this time.

[@heatherhickle6300]

Yay for skill share!!! Also I love how welcoming Ryan is to people learning sign language. When I had my son back in 2012, I taught him tons of baby signs. I remember dirty looks because my son would sign food and then say something like “snack” I would reply with the sign OK or say okay. People were not nice about it. Times have changed. My son and I still use sign language back and fourth. I think it’s an amazing thing to be able to maybe see someone trying to talk to someone who is deaf and running up and be able to be that Interpreter when they need it. Even just know the abcs can get you far. Thank you guys!!!

When Java was carried out of frame. 🤣 Also (5:40), apparently that's the sign for 'food'. My mom does it sometimes when she asks if the person she's talking to has eaten yet, though we're a hearing family. I don't know if she knows it's an actual sign. 😅

[@Wideyeseemore]

Just signed up with skill shared to learn Sign !! I’m soo very excited as this will become soo useful for me, and others on the receiving end who are deaf/hearing impaired to be able to communicate. I myself can only hear good out of one ear not able to afford a hearing aide, so I feel I can benifit from this greatly, and can get my partner onboard as well. This is also another service I can offer as a Nail Technician. Do you know how many deaf/hearing impaired are discouraged to get their nails done/need nail maintenance service in fear of the communication barrier?

Your best video yet! Thanks...I was in the grocery store today and I was checking out in the part where you check yourself out. I was scanning a bottle of Nyquil, when the screen told me to wait for assistance. I am hearing. The attendant came over; we both had our masks on. She looked at the screen, and said: "Give me your barf bag." I asked her to repeat, and she said: "I need your barf bag." I said "BARF BAG?" She looked right at me, was laughing, and said: "BAARRRFFF BBBAAAGGG as slowly as she could. Oh, how I wish she had known ASL! Punch line: she was asking me for my BIRTHDAY because I had bought some Nyquil...both of us had a really good laugh over that one! I know ASL, but she did not. Masks do mess you up! Thought you guys would get a charge out of that...even hearing people need to see lips....

[@alexisyoung1556]

Ramsey Fitzsimmons you would use your dominant hand!

[@LavendarRoses]

It doesn't matter which hand you are using. Some deafies are left handed too. If you are learning some signs from the right handed person, you can do the opposite since your left hand is dominant. It's not that hard. 😀

It doesn't matter what hand you use! I can write more with my right hand, but I sign left, because I have an injury in my right hand.

I don’t know the “how you knew he/she was the one? story, and would like to see how this relationship matures with the years together, involving other deaf, hard-hearing and hearing community to be involved in the conversations. This is not a class, but sharing real life experiences and adjustments with one and another in today’s world and how we can better invest/communicate in relationships with the deaf. Thank you!

Question! When Ryan does the hand signs, he usually mouthed? the word he's signing, right?

Sometime one sign has few meanings. To avoid misunderstanding it's better to mouth those words. It's helpful not only for hearing people but also deaf people to understand each other.

Yep, another product made by the hearing. They have been making masks with a clear spot for years, the proper ones that can be worn in surgery, by a deaf company.

Listening to 1 person sign and speak and watching the other just sign I catch myself picking up on Ryan's signs SO much more after having started watching your videos only about 2 weeks ago! It's really cool to be able to see myself learning! I find it easier that trying to guess which of Ryans sign mean what lining it up with the CC. Being able to match what Ellen is saying to what she's signing is helping me learn so fast and then I can practice by watching Ryan. It's really cool. 😊

Eh, a lot of signs involve touching the face. All these signs existed before COVID except for COVID (obvs) and quarantine. It's obviously not a big deal when you're at home in isolation, only an issue when you go outside.

I love your videos

[@pfam5ify]

I'm saying this to the both of you. I found you from my Google searches for deaf youtubers when looking at ASL and trying to sign my name out for the first time. You guys help drive me to learn more and I only just got comfortable to sign out my name. I have always been intrested in other languages, but none like sign language. Sign language is so much more interesting and fun. I feel sorry for what some people do to you, but you still live through it. I just learnt how to sign "Hi my name is *my name*" so thats progress..?! And thanks!

Omg you're so silly in this video Ellen! I love it! I'm going a little loopy myself too during this QUARANTINE/ISOLATION lol! I've also seen the two "I" sign meaning "Talking to myself" so that makes sense "talking to myself"

10:24 in my country there are actually interpreters for deaf people on screen for some news stations

I love seeing you guys in your home environment. It feels really natural and like you guys are much more comfortable and you!

cutest couple fr 🥺 I randomly decided to learn asl during the quarantine and i now know basics like the alphabet, numbers, family signs, greetings, colors, etc. i would love for you guys to make more videos on teaching asl 💓 ☺️

[@layliacameron]

You guys are a cute couple,every time I see you guys post a new video I smile watching you guys talking,laughing,and smiling.Also,When I watch your guys video I can understand sign language and I can understand what my friends sister is saying because she’s deaf as well❤️Love you guys❤️

[@MindiTV]

First of all, I really enjoy watching your videos. Asl has always intrigued me and I've been off and on learning it since I was young. My asl is not very good though because I dont know anyone deaf. But my lip reading is pretty spot on. Haha. Anyways I love seeing y'all signing and I've been practicing again.

My family and I began learning sign language during quarantine. We had planned to because we have a foster daughter who, when she came to us she was 7 and non verbal. Now that she's been with us a while she can speak a little better but we noticed she had learned some from school so we decided we were going to learn too. Now that we are all in the house everyone can learn. We started with Bill Vicars lessons, but I wanted more immersion so I search KZbin and found you guys! I love watching your videos because it helps me see Sign at real speed and I learn things about the culture. I appreciate you guys! Can't wait for your next video!

The way he speaks is so clever, his understanding and his overtake on lots of stuffs are just so ♥️ would be so lovely to have long, deep convos with him.

I just stumbled upon one of their videos this morning and I’ve watched a couple dozen already lol.. I subscribed after the first one😊 I’m obsessed with their cute little family. What a good looking couple AND really I mean Java is just the cutest! Not to mention how much I’ve learned just by watching and rewinding and lol REwatching multiple videos😁

[@taylor3950]

I like Ryan's teaching voice, it's very encouraging

[@cynthian420]

Yaaay!! Very excited to watch a new video!! Love you guys xx

[@elizabethbellah7407]

13:17 Oh Ellen... It's been months and at least where I live it's not getting better, it's getting worse. Hopefully you're handling it okay, Ryan!

I was pleasantly surprised lately weeing more news being interpreted in ASL (as PIP). My whole family were fascinated and amazed by ASL.
