How to learn ASL for FREE💕 (Tiktok): Lizzytharris

[@for3v3rlos3r3]

you really inspired me to take an ASL class at my high school next year. i want to be able to communicate with as many people as possible im so excited!! ❤

[@abi7497]

Yay I’m so happy about your decision! I never had the option in high school unfortunately. It’s super cool that you’re not only given the opportunity, but that you decided to take it! Good luck and thank you :)

[@graham.crackers]

She inspired me to do the same! I'm so happy I came across her page before registration ended

[@lyingcat9022]

You should probably learn Mandarin Chinese then :) Between English and Mandarin you should be able to communicate with close to 2-3 billion people. ASL has less than half a million :(

[@Meep94931]

Lucky you! I wish my school had a ASL course.

[@gymnsical]

handspeak is amazing. my ASL teacher doesn’t like it for some reason, but it has saved me on so many presentations 😅

[@VoVina111]

​@elixirrr🩵 she hates handspeak (an app I presume) not hand signing

[@Happydoge-c8v]

Does it work? Can you do ASL? Is it like effective I want to try it

[@kitdubhran2968]

Love bill vicars. I’ve watched his videos on KZbin so many times and it always helps. ❤

[@allexmussen9107]

this is awesome! I've been trying to learn for a while but getting proper classes and books is hard without the money, this is definitely super helpful!

[@Swiftkittylover]

I am taking an ASL class in my high school, and I use lifeprint and hand speak! Both are really good and helpful!! ❤

[@kelliecraft9176]

I’m currently on Session 6 with Bill and already forming my own sentences! I took ASL for 2 years in high school. I haven’t done it in years and I want to dedicate time to learning it fluently now that I have time.😊 me and my high school friend used to sign and spell answers on out tests 😂😂😂

[@HaydenOrSmth]

i seriously need to learn sign language. my friends will sign to each other all the time and i’ll have no clue what they’re saying. thanks for the tips :DD

[@pattyton2193]

Also, the ASL youtube channel Learn How To Sign is amazing! It's where I learned many signs!

[@justamelia5223]

Thanks!!! I've been struggling to learn ASL with my limited resources ❤❤❤

[@Anna-rv3fv]

Bill Vicars is the goat I started watching his videos and was surprised at how quickly I was able to pick things up. He’s an excellent teacher.

[@abbyplaysgameshai1190]

I agree!

[@LanaSongThatMakesYouCry]

I signed up for the Oklahoma school of deaf that you recommended in another video! I really want to learn asl but i don't really have commitment to my goals so signing up for an actual 'class' helps my motivation ❤

[@gummybookworm1342]

Love to see you mention bill vicars, his videos have taught me so much!

[@stephanginther9051]

I've tried to learn a few times but I have past injuries in my hands that make some of the signs physically painful to do. Maybe it would be good physical therapy but its hard to get yourself to practice when it hurts. Once though, I went to an ASL learning club and met a woman that was fluent because both her parents were deaf. She was at the learning club to try tutoring because she had an odd scruple she wanted to rid herself of. She said she _hated_ speaking and signing at the same time because it felt wrong somehow. When she was signing, she subconsciously acted mute and only signed. I got busy with my school schedule and didn't end up going back but I wonder if she got over it.

[@ferninthehouse]

Trying to sign made me realize that I don’t have good mobility with my hands either. Having raynaud’s im guessing is one factor into why it’s hard for me. If my fingers aren’t properly warm I can’t properly move them, and where I live the temp is consistently below 60 degrees Fahrenheit so my hands are usually cold.

[@soaringaegis]

At the risk of suggesting something you might have heard before, if you're not scared of needles, maybe acupuncture might be worth a try?

[@soaringaegis]

On another note, you're not really meant to speak and sign at the same time anyway. Even Lizzy has mentioned this in some of her videos. So if your friend wants to be able to do both at the same time, that's great, but it's like trying to express two languages at once and not really necessary!

[@Noctessa]

I love LifePrint! I was fluent as a child and as a bank teller I tried to use my ASL to help customers, I realized real quick things have changed!! Lol ASL has evolved since the late 70s 😂 seriously tho my customers are so excited to have a signer even if I'm clumsy and get the wrong signs. There's a large Deaf school here so I'm glad I get to use my newly and ever evolving skills. Thank you!!!

[@annablair6903]

Bill Vicars is how I learned a lot of what I know! Also, I'm so glad I found your channel! I love this!

[@nouser12349]

I have been watching ur videos for 5months and you have helped me alot!

[@ImSeeingStarz]

I'm watching and taking lessons for asl now bc of you! I'm already learning a lot about the vocabulary and ways of forming sentences! It's a little confusing but this is so fun to learn 🤟

[@fidgetnorris6086]

Im a big fan of yours 😊 I have been learning bsl for 2 years and I think I want to learn asl too. You are are a big inspiration to me ❤

[@drakmaaaaa2729]

I love how cheat on someone is more discreet. You know deaf people be speaking the tea and cheating needed a short hand

[@fairyfriend5367]

Thank you so much!!! I've been trying to learn asl from stuff I can find online, and this will help sooo much!!!

[@someoneyoudontneedtoknowab2298]

Omg thank you so much for posting this I have always wanted to learn ASL ❤, I ended up learning the alphabets by youtube but every other video had a slightly different way of signing so it got me wondering if it was even authentic this will really help me 💖💖

[@crystalsandersart7620]

I started watching Bill Vicars videos and I can sign a couple basic sentences now!! It's really exciting and I hope I can learn a lot more!

[@housesalad2495]

Love your content and I’ve been using the first two resources as I start learning ASL. My friend and I have wanted to learn for the longest time and are finally getting around to it.

[@jonathan_byers_stan2416]

AAAA tysm. i'm taking an asl class at school rn, but i've been taking language classes since 7th grade so i'm not continuing the class even tho i wanna continue learning the language. this helped a lot (:

[@atchaehyunsservice6860]

Omg hahaha i literally just watched bill's videos, and yes he has one of the best channels for asl learners

[@AliviaGrace.]

Thank you!!!!! I mostly learn now from you, I love your videos I try do do it as good as you!!!!! Your Awesome!!!❤

[@salem1569]

I appreciate you videos so much, im bad at learning things consistently and seeing your videos every few days helps me remember and motivates me!

[@ambergardner5223]

I have a deaf customer at work and I want to pick up some ASL before her upcoming appointment. Thank you!

[@psleep4255]

Thank you so much. I grew up with a profoundly deaf mother and we used to go to ASL classes together. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten a lot and want to get back up to speed. Also it does come in handy when you don’t want people to know what you’re saying. We use it a lot on the airplane. 😂❤🤟

[@trichmomma]

Bill Vicars is TOP!! My ASL teachers included his videos in her lesson plan

[@sarahrivers9623]

Watching you sign with your nails is very soothing for some reason

[@silvawolf11]

I love all the info you give. Thank you.

[@StarryEyed_Idiot]

All I've learned so far is how to introduce myself and the alphabet but I'm still learning, thanks for the resources!

[@christiansaravia7865]

Thank you!! Right now I’ve been using rocket language and it’s been super helpful

[@judeeeeeeeee]

bill vicars is great- many of the videos have a student as well as dr vicars and it’s cool to learn right along with them

[@StoneSaysHello]

Life print has always been go too, glad I picked well!

[@gnataliespiders1924]

I’m hearing, no classroom experience with ASL except finger spelling in grade school, and I’ve found Bill Vicars’ stuff to be accessible, engaging, and fun :)

[@theandy4667]

i LOVE life print! that’s where i started

[@stephaniemahoney8634]

Love your videos, thank you! Me, Dad and 3 older siblings are learning ASL now as our 4th is nonverbal, but will sign a few things!

[@X._Sophie_.X]

This has helped so much. I am using hand speak to learn ASL. 😊 Thank you .

[@toadacrosstheroad]

I just discovered Bill Vicars a few days ago, only watched part of a lesson but man it goes by so fast for how long it is. He's so enthusiastic and it's so wonderful watching someone sign in real time and he's such a good teacher. He's been posting for years and literally has everything like you said- I'm so glad he's created an entire class basically and completely free of charge, it's here on KZbin and there's a website he's on that I don't quite remember the name but if you search his name you're likely to find it and it has all of the major lessons organized and on a list which is great. Wonderful that he's made learning ASL so accessible and even making the videos entertaining despite it mainly only being him teaching sign. I've found learning asl from videos to be much easier to learn than from apps especially considering that most apps are only pay to learn, I'll for sure keep watching his videos more and hopefully learn basic asl soon as I am beginning to have issues hearing and I want to be able to communicate with everyone else in my life with difficulties verbally communicating. Your videos are also wonderful and make me really happy to see people with disabilities like me living their life as much as they want to. It's great seeing positive disability representation in media considering a lot of able bodied people are taught that having disabilities is when your life "ends". Thank you.

[@ThRandomGamerReal]

This is so cool! I think i might be autistic and one of the reasons for me thinking that is i sometimes go nonverbal. 've been wanting to learn asl so i can communicate during those times. Thanks for the resources!

[@abbyplaysgameshai1190]

Yeah same I was just tested last year and I am autistic and I think learning asl would be helpful for me and ppl in the deaf community

[@mcfa0251]

Your vids are a great review but also of new signs or phrases for me when I was learning asl in the 80s I had tge opportunity to attend a summer course at Gallaudet. Sure miss those days

[@nytlee1082]

Actually. Uuuuu are a one of the best teachers!!! Bill is great but for those of us who can hear, speaking and giving context is extra helpful!!! We appreciate all of y'all. Thanks for letting us into your world 🤟🏾

[@aistieramusic]

You really helped inspire me to learn ASL! I've known since simple signs like "I love you", "food", "water", "please" and "thank you" for a long time. I now have a large ASL vocabulary, and I sign the songs in our school choir. Thank you so much for your inspiration!

[@Discrete1998]

I really appreciate all the videos you’re making to share ASL resources ❤️

[@marlenacoco4295]

You are awesome! Love the positive contribution you are making in the world!

[@denarico6614]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this

[@I_wasim11]

I'm deaf but I'm British, so I use BSL and SSE, I'm also oral but I love ASL

[@brightmarissa5740]

Currently using life print with Bill Vicars. I love it. It's like a whole course and there is even an ASL dictionary with everything you want to know with complete explanations. And the lessons are on video and he's teaching someone so it's really really helpful. He even has readings on the history and many student teacher dialogs and extremely user friendly! There are even quizzes.

[@lydiasmith4152]

I've been doing ASL with Bill Vicars' KZbin channel and it's been so fun to learn more! Thank you for being part of my practice in reading and understanding different people signing ❤❤

[@katherinemakarova6433]

You speak so well! Such an inspiration!❤

[@cv8499]

I love Bill Vicars. Learned a lot from his videos.

[@melktheeraser]

I have been learning some ASL from a KZbin channel called Learn How To Sign. Meredith is an ASL teacher and interpreter. I don’t think I can become completely fluent in ASL by just watching and practicing on her videos, but I love them, and the beautiful language she teaches! ❤

[@CamilaAntelo2004]

Maybe you can try to find an actual ASL class In high school I did two ASL classes and now in college I’m doing another ASL class this semester

[@melktheeraser]

@@CamilaAntelo2004 oh yeah I could do that but idk if any schools in my area actually teach that soo idk but I’ll see

[@haniasdoodles]

Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to learn!!

[@CamilaAntelo2004]

I’m doing German and this is the longest word in German it is Rindfleischetikettierungssüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz that one German word took me a whole minute to try to pronounce

[@George___Weasleys-S.O.]

I just started taking ASL at school, I have no speech or hearing issues. I chose to take it because I have a non-verbal autistic cousin, and I've always wanted to learn a new language. So when I saw there was ASL as a class I could take, I went for it and so far I love it.

[@emagarren5107]

I love your videos and you are so beautiful inside and out

[@s.dwight3209]

Love this thank you !!! My sister took an ASL class in collage and she saved and shared her notes with me, I’m sharing what I know with my daughters now but I want more info and more practice with people ❤🤟

[@cherryygutzz]

As a mexican, I’ve been trying to learn MSL (mexican sign language) but I can’t find any videos from deaf ppl, and the only good (and free) class I found had limited slots 😢, so I started learning ASL instead LOLOL I’ve been watching Bill’s videos and I love them!! He’s so funny and makes it fun to learn ASL! So if you’re someone that wants to learn ASL I definitely recommend watching his videos :D PD: I wish sign language was something that you can learn in school, or at least easy to find where to learn it 😢😢

[@brookehazen8291]

Cutest shirt ever!💕

[@pip3119]

My friend is deaf and she does asl, and SOME of the signs are *similar* I have learned a lot from her and you and I am excited to keep going:)

[@QuokkasWorldd]

I was taught to use hand speak by my deaf sign language acting teacher 😊 and it’s amazing ❤

[@rrosen85]

I love her voice

[@piperisanop7220]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I use hand speak to learn some asl to music when there’s no videos on it!! You are just so inspiring and make me want to learn more ASL!!!❤🎉😊

[@Tangokitty]

I really want to learn ASL! Your videos really help me a lot, I know the alphabet but i do wanna go further! I can say sorry, more, thank you, and no, and I really wanna thank you for this Liz!😊

[@ellabobellaa]

I'm fortunate enough to have ASL options at my school as a language elective but I'll definitely use these things when I forget a sign!

[@GuardianSpirits13]

I went from barely knowing the alphabet to fully conversational in ASL from watching Bill Vicar's recorded lectures- I believe two college courses' worth of education for free on KZbin. It's really great!

[@jamie6506]

I'm learning on SignSchool, and I'm making a lot of progress!

[@jennyleona5703]

Thank you for sharing. I learned some basic ASL as a kid, but my family didn’t stick with it unfortunately. Would love to pick it up again. Side note: for this hearing person, your sign is extra enjoyable because your nails make a lovely clicking sound .

[@Brynn-LT]

I’ve been learning asl, I know very very very little but you are such an inspiration 🤍🤍

[@julesg8745]

I watch Bill Vicars' videos on YT and he has taught me so much! Highly recommend. Start at Lesson 1!

[@fifi.871]

Thank you! I need to learn bc I'm hard of hearing

[@ChestersonJack]

Yes! I follow Bill Vicars on KZbin. Glad to know he’s recommended by you as well!

[@brooklynn8003]

My mom knows ASL because she took it in high school so she teaches me sometimes 😊👍🏼

[@lordazrielschnyder7081]

I learned some minimal ASL from a tv show that was on when i was a kid. Recently I've started to relearn the alphabet, so far, i am up to h!

[@chacharealsmooth8004]

Thank you for the sources. I utilize handspeak but these other options sound great!

[@valsanders8897]

I’m loosing my hearing and I’ve learned all asl I know from you so thank you so much 😊

[@Heathiekins]

Thank you for the suggestions! Absolutely looking into these!

[@pinkyrobloxyt5727]

I have been taking ASL classes at school with a program and it’s great !! You really inspired me to learn ASL

[@toasted_waffles]

Omg thank you so much, I've been trying to find a good way to learn ASL ❤

[@ariayneh2999]

I started taking the courses on oklahoma school for the deaf that you recommended and its really helpful. I definitely learned a lot from it :)

[@mrspokitstheriot477]

In elementary school we had a teacher who was supposedly fluent in ASL (a few people contested her fluency because she seemed to use the wrong form of a word often (like cheat) but instead of teaching us really anything super useful/beneficial, we learned the pledge of allegiance... I still remember it though. I remember the most random stuff. Still remember the Greek alphabet too.

[@alyasviews]

You can also see if there is a local LDS deaf ward. Many times the missionaries will do classes for free

[@tetsusiega2]

I feel like the hardest part would be learning to use each word in the right context.

[@arii20244]

Ilysm, My story is I have a girl in my class called Claire, we are both really good at reading, and writing, and making projects. I would say we are probably some of the smartest in our class. A different girl came up to me and told me she learn a little bit of asl. I told her that’s great. I started to do it too, me and Claire are friends so once I started doing asl she thought it was so beautiful just how I thought it was beautiful too. She decided to join. We learned slowly but yes we did learn. From words, to sentences, to songs! Of course a kid in my class named Colton decided he didn’t like it and wanted to mock us. He did that but then all our other friends saw what we were doing and wanted to join too! They joined and now we have a whole community that does asl with us! I love asl, I really do and I’m glad I could get other people to do it too❤❤

[@TsukishimaKei-gv1zx]

Thank you! I have a hard of hearing dad and I have a fear that he'll go deaf soon, which I hope doesn't happen. So I've been wanting to learn it as quick as possible, so if he does go deaf, I can still speak to him.

[@lecoleurdelable]

In terms of dictionaries there's also this app I use called 'spread the sign' to learn how words are signed also in different languages

[@chloed4674]

Thanks. This is really helpful! 😘🤟

[@MikiahStone]

I'm a Freshman in high school, but next year I am able to take a course in a college program to learn ASL. I've always wanted to learn ASL and I have tried before, but couldn't find a good program, so I am really excited to do it starting August.

[@modishmade]

I love the way you sign! You’re so fluid with your movements. I hope it’s not rude to ask but did you go deaf or are you partial hearing at all? Because your voice is SO clear compared to many other dead people I know. (And it’s beautiful too!)

[@Vinnie1783]

I leaned i love you in ASL😊

[@OhEmmag_vlogs]

I always wanted to learn sign so I printed out the alphabet then I found a book with a ton of words (the book was on signing) and so if I struggle I can use it I am not deaf

[@andie3448]

Definition of if they want to they will ❤️

[@teawanee]

Thanks so much, I've been thinking of learning asl but didn't know how to start. Honestly asl can be so useful even for hearing people. A lot of times I'll use the sign for thank you to thank my dad if say, my mouth is full or something.

[@bryselbows]

Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@qkun]

Thank you!!! I needed this! I learned some asl in uni but it wasn't enough I'm not even able to hold a conversation! I've been looking on how to continue learning without paying since I don't have that luxury rn!

[@aditi_03]

your videos inspired me to learn ASL and guess what, i learned the alphabets today! i'm really excited to learn about the vocabulary next... wish me luck! ~ Love from India❤

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

Take it In HIGH SCHOOL! My girls do. and,as an ICU RN.. if we ALL COULD JUST sign the alphabet, we could also communicate when pppl cant dpeak! On ventilators..etc! It helped me few times!

[@ohdeer-sabrina8132]

HandTalk is awesome! It also has Libras AFAIK (Brazilian sign language)!!

[@julesoxana]

Thanks so much for this❤
