I've been learming sign from Victoria for 3 weeks (I repeat watching some that I forget). Now I'm communicating physically my deaf best friend that was once just talking on chat. He's very happy that I can now talk to him in sign because we used to talk to each other using chat or writing on paper. Thank you so much Victoria for the very detailed tutorials.

Are specific objects assigned specific classifiers? ie she uses a flat b as a desk, and an upside down claw shape as a house and school. Could a desk be established with the claw shape or does it specifically have to be a flat b? If that makes any sense.

I keep reading below how people are taking this all for free. I went on the site and it is a 14 day free trial. If I had 14 days in a row that are open, this would be fine, but with a busy schedule, I'd probably only get 2-3 lessons in before the free trial was over. I really like Victoria and when searching the site, it looked like there were other people teaching the classes. Hopefully, Victoria has more lessons on KZbin to get us through at least one semester of learning.

@xxpowwowbluexx4 жыл бұрын
Best way is to watch how native Deaf signers use classifiers. It’s more of an advanced skill. Sorry, there’s not really an easy way to explain it in a KZbin comment. Basically, what matches the shape of the object the best and the perspective you’re using to describe it, whether close or far away, the angle, movement, etc. Many are standardized; others aren’t and are more personal choices (within acceptable ranges for the language). There’s a gray area in there.
@Wlfgng754 жыл бұрын
I thought about this with her example of “the car is swerving.” Instead of using classifier 3 why not just use your hands in the position of 10 and 2 on a steering wheel? This is very interesting and I enjoy her videos.

So you use specific hand shapes to explain different things (ie a 1 as you and your mom, 3 as a car swerving, upside down claw as a school and house, etc). Can you use different shapes for different things as long as you appropriately establish them? ie if I show a car as a 1 is that ok if I sign “car” and then hold up that 1?
@DanielHernandez-uf2fs4 жыл бұрын
maybe I missed this part...but why not just come up with a sign for these classifiers??? Why isn't there a sign for "on top" or 'sign"? Why not just create a sign for "thick"? You have a sign for "big", why cant there be a sign for 'thick'? I'm missing something here.
@ebonyfoley44954 жыл бұрын
Because, deaf people like things shown to them ASL is all about visual not so much about the signs and, it would take much longer to sign the book was thick...and you wouldn't really know how thick classifiers help paint a picture to make it easier to understand. they are hard to understand at first, but as you continue to work on the, m they eventually just click and your like how did I never get this before!! Plus TakeLessons live classes are great I have learned so much from there!! And bonus its free!! Anyways you should try it :)

When setting up a moving/motion classifier, does the non dominate hand always have to become the object/person being described? Also, if you're someone learning and are ambidextrous, how do you pick a dominant hand?
@ev_etc35784 жыл бұрын
luckylando27 i’m not sure about the first question but if you’re ambidextrous I recommend using the right hand because it will be easier to follow tutorials and understand other people, but just choose which ever one is most comfortable for you

Using the right hand is the best for leading signs and classifiers. It's best practice to avoid switching leading hands as it can be confusing. :)

May I ask why this is being taught by a hearing person? General consensus is that ASL should only be taught by Deaf instructors as it is their first language. A hearing person who learned ASL as a second language runs the risk of sharing misinformation because they are bound to makes mistakes in their second language and potentially teach those mistakes. Also they likely will not fully understand the complex grammatical rules and structure of ASL as a second language user... There will just be some nuances that we miss as we are second language users... I really hope you are honouring the Deaf community by hiring Deaf instructors...

Hello Amanda, thanks for commenting. Yes, we have deaf instructors teaching on our site! Victoria is a certified interpreter, so she is also a great resource for learning ASL. You are correct though, learning from a deaf instructor is the best way to learn since it is their first language.
