Thank you so much for making this available to all. I found it very clear and helpful. I can tell you are one of the very best teachers!

[@monicamitchell2009]

Yes. His videos are to the point. In this video, his hands are easy to follow.

[@elisecollis9942]

Thank you Mr. Wheeler! Very helpful as a senior nursing student. I am hoping to go back to school for ASL. I would stop by to say hi sometime if you didn't leave so early!

[@leviathian6trik6bitch30]

Typically when I’m sick it’s because of a throat infection and I can’t talk, so I’ll typically sign small words to my family since we’re not fluent

[@sexyfatbastid]

I love the VAST amount of signs you show !!

[@jerrywoodlief8252]

Excellent the background improves visual and your signs have good clarity, well done, thank you. First time seeing cream signed this way.

[@jennetklycheva8896]

Thank you so much for making this videos. I am so excited to proficient myself

[@airama.9966]

Thank you so much for this video! I think that the sign for "allergic" is funny. Be safe!

[@this-is-so-rae1762]

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! I am learning ASL by myself and this is one of the resources I was looking for. Thank you for sharing!! 🙌

[@jackbaker4283]

Mr. Wheeler, these videos you make are absolutely wonderful! I learned ASL 1 in high school "9th grade, and I'm going to continue" I'm out for summer now. But, I just wanted to say that your videos are great and help me learn a lot more about asl! ASL really interests me. Question, are you able to talk, or do you just sign more often?

[@brandonsmith1198]

Thank you very much now so the sooner they didn’t do well very great and great work

[@noraz209]

Thank you 🤟🏼

[@Purplepie404]

Thank you for this

[@johnhancock8463]

Thank you

[@user-wc1mf4jm1f]

Очень интересная тема благодарю.

[@Chris-xc1vd]

I'm learning so I can help out

[@alanlock007]

Lovely video. I have a question though. The hospital and patient signs are done on the side of the chest, front of the arm or side of the arm? I can't tell exactly with the black shirt on black background. Thank you. Also, is panic the same sign as anxiety?

[@lynk8951]

It's done on the arm.

[@karentunison2953]

Love

[@Enoltra]

Im really interested is there any sign language for more complex diseases, like e.g. tuberculosis, lyme's, tumours on various body parts?

[@tabithaqualls3037]

Yup!

[@DNA9315]

You can try took it up on an ASL library like Hand Speak or Sign Savy but keep in mind that some signs can vary based on location.

[@averagehumanbeing6140]

Wow I love that pharmacy is medicine store

[@mileygal102]

Is there a sign for chronic??

[@jenifermoreira368]

more Bible signs from religious? please more videos on KZbin? Thanks i loved it

[@rodneygoodrich5861]

❤❤❤

[@user-wc1mf4jm1f]

Очень интересная тема

[@JRIZO417]

So is it safe to assume that ASL for help and treatment are similar, if not the same?

[@reginapustelak5420]

Yes, it’s all about context

[@jaesnightout]

I’m left handed and generally use my left hand for everything, does it matter if you use your right hand?

[@averywillow2144]

Always use the same hand for everything if you're left dominant and primarily use your left then continue using the left. For these signs just flip them.

[@FootballFanLeanne]

I've learned that the hand in motion is always the dominant hand.

[@MarsellaFyngold]

=o so cool, thank you! Might I ask: how would one sign: "Stop breathing" or "hold your breath" "relax" "don't move" "deep breath in" "deep breath out"? I ask because I'm currently studying to be an x-ray technologist and for some procedures we need to give breathing instructions to our patients and it's just occurred to me, what if we have a patient who's hard of hearing? I would hope they have a translator but what if it happens that they don't? Or if it's someone who normally has a hearing aid but they have to take it out for the exam? If anyone knows of a video that has these signs and can point me towards them, thank you in advance!!!

[@gwensoergel4206]

It's best to find someone in your community/area who is is either an interpreter or who is Deaf/Hard of Hearing.

[@virginiacannon2023]

I appreciate your video. I can clearly see your hands and face. I think it would be better to see your body by adding some color contrast between shirt and background.

[@jengalbreath9875]

I would love to speak with the instructor in these videos. Very beneficial to my job. Very clear. If you are able to provide an e-mail address that I could reach out to you that would be great. Thank you so much!

[@reginapustelak5420]

Go to ASLThat on Facebook. Maybe can contact him there

[@aprilthejesusinthemorningf4667]

I think my tummy pulled and is pulled by me in my sleep and it hurt a lot! Help!

[@philippinedeafcommunityvlo544]

Don't understand you about (panic)?

[@dudhack1888]

Thank you for FINALLY placing captions for those of us who are trying to learn. Very helpful. Again, thanks and hope you continue to realize that most here who utilize your videos are in various stages of learning ASL.

[@realmofthemisunderstood166]

I’m sure you meant well but damn that came off as passive aggressive 😂

[@DNA9315]

Yeah, imagine having to deal with that on a daily basis? 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@jawuzie]

:)

[@crisamphioxus]

Not a good idea to wear black polo with red tie in a black background. Hehe actually it for us to see the hands clearly. But very educational video..thank you

[@genovalinde5773]

Use your cell phone

[@Medellin1823]

Breathe and asthma look the same

[@gwensoergel4206]

It has to do with the facial expression (sometimes referred to as mouthing or non-manual markers) and the context of the sentence/situation.

[@dorisjcrotty1332]

You forgot stroke

[@jacquelyngilmore3621]

Ess😅😁😅🥺🧐

[@Jake-sk3jy]

I couldnt hear shit i dont think the sound works on this video

[@Amelia.-.69]

Lol just finding this comment 2 years later. It’s asl so it doesn’t need sound.

[@karenschmidtke8129]

Why did you choose a black background and black shirt...re-do and re-post for others to glean.

Karen Cleveland that's the idea, so you can concentrate on the hands and the face only

[@karenschmidtke8129]

ASL is not a "hands" and "face" only language.

Karen Cleveland I know, it's a hole body experience but the main thing to know is the hand signs, and this is a very basic lesson so for beginners it's a good way to start first with the hands and the expressions if that makes sense.

[@Carol-Bell]

This man is a professional teacher, he knows what he is doing. I think it’s rude to tell him to re-do and re-post. “For others to glean?”

[@karenschmidtke8129]

I too am an expert. He posted this for us to watch. Feedback is not always a bad thing.

[@havenomalley4569]

Completely out of respect but you look like a floating head and a tie for the majority of this video. It is very hard to tell where on your body you are signing when you're not signing on your face

[@joeydehart3429]

Thank you
