I have a coworker who is deaf, and aside from occasionally signing, "You good?" or "OK" I really couldn't communicate with him. Yesterday, after practicing with your 125 Signs from ASL Pt.1, I saw him, and said, "Hi, How are you? Pleased to meet you!" He got the biggest smile on his face! I look forward to learning more so we can truly become friends.

I work in fast food, and we get deaf people often and your videos have helped me a lot with being able to communicate with them and give them the best customer service. I feel as if ASL should be taught in school. There’s so many deaf people that have to adapt to a hearing world. To me, I don’t think that’s fair. I think the least the hearing person can do is learn a little bit of sign language so they can communicate with those who live that life being accustomed to us instead of the other way around

I’m beginning my journey into asl as a hearing person and I’m amazed at how many different dialects there are just in the most common beginner YT videos. Not sure if that’s the right term but the way signs are emphasized, angled, or motioned. It’s to be expected with any language but it’s also a little disconcerting. It feels like I’m getting my English vocab from someone in Boston, someone in Minneapolis, and someone in Baton Rogue. 😨 Hope I don’t wind up signing like a crazy person!
