I’m sure you’ll get it! When I watched my very first video of hers, she was talking about things to know before starting to learn ASL. When I saw her signing her name I was like “wow, she’s so fast.” And now most of the ASK I know came from her and I can even spell her name faster than she did in the video! I actually consider it slow now lol. But overall, hard work will come a long way ❤️

@aznchik72293 жыл бұрын
When I was first learning sign, it was quite the shocker that a lot of words are omitted. Coming down from that shock, it makes more sense to omit little words like "a, the, is, am, etc" as ASL is a very visual language (obviously) and those little words don't exactly bring up a mental image like nouns and verbs do. Honestly (after getting use to signing), I like the simplicity of ASL over English. ASL gets straight to the point instead of taking that much longer to verbally say the same thing. Ex: in English "Tomorrow, the boy will start on his homework" becomes "tomorrow - his - homework - boy - start" in ASL. Went from 8 words to 5!
@rayrerej96303 жыл бұрын

I have been watching your videos. Very well done. I do have a question. I have not seen what part of the country you are in, like state. I am curious as when I took some sign classes my instructor, who was deaf, told us that signs can be different because of location and I have noticed you do a few different then what I learned. The small amount of sign I learned was to communicate with four deaf children when I volunteered in my sons class. I helped with reading and writing skills, plus some math. Their direct teacher used Signed Exacted English. I am very rusty with my sign but in viewing your videos I remember more then I thought and have learned so much more. I need to pull out my college sign books to brush up more. I certainly am enjoying your lessons. I wish I could have had this resource many years ago. It is wonderful that you are doing this.

@marypettit55233 жыл бұрын
There's the difference. I learned by taking some classes at the local community College. Our instructor was deaf but could speak. He was great in his patience with us. We did have a sign book that was purchased at the college bookstore. I still have it plus several dictionaries for sign. It was back in the mid 1990's when I took the classes. I am in Southern Oregon. One more question, an opinion really from you. Over the years people who know that I do a little sign seem to always ask if I know what others are signing when around a signer. It has always been my opinion that this is rude and I say so. I exlain that to me it's listening to private conversations. Then again my signing was used with children in a classroom and on school trips, not with adults. So I have no experience of how the deaf community regards this. I just think I should never do it and won't.
