Learn ASL Grammar: Referents (Quick Tip)

[@KD-mh3xv]

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. There is barely anything like this out there for BSL or even AUSLAN in which the grammar is largely the same. So many books and videos teach basic sentence structure which is not how conversations actually work in real life. Thank you!

[@evelynsierra2004]

[@magdalenamiamor6678]

Would it be possible for you to caption this video?

[@Fer-fy8dx]

Magdalena Mi Amor it is

[@jayrico5818]

Do an asl lesson courses like bill vacar in chronilogical disorder

[@donnawoodall6083]

Rochelle, can you plz tell me what you do with the adverb? Does it go where the adjective is or what? I'm a little confused with that. Love your videos. Thanks!

[@hayleygullett]

You’re the best ASL teacher

[@OrenjiOrange]

This is such a simple explanation. Thank you. My husband and I are at the beginning of our ASL journey. Your videos have proven to be very informative.

[@liliacfury]

Thank you so much! It makes a lot more sense now!

[@JamieHeckleW]

I would like to learn about homophones

[@iamhisbeloved7]

I'm just loving your personality that comes out in little lines you say like "peace out! I'm outta here; this is dumb!" I cracked up :)

[@ruthannrohrer7254]

Thank you again for your helpful teaching videos!

[@danielbowers3423]

i want to see how your club works.

[@cassondatadlock9214]

Rochelle, how about a series with signs that are similar/signed in the same area. For example: burden/responsibility, tired, fault. Thanks for you videos. I sure enjoy the extra practice. :)

[@ZoosheeStudio]

I would really love to see synonyms. just common signs that have multiple meanings.

[@jimanthony8439]

Library link is dead... DED, dead

[@henrysolis9944]

I kinda get it

[@MusicInMotion_67]

The correct way of saying it is STORE ME GO ME. They don't really use "I" in ASL, it's ME they sign. 46 years experience and it's a native language for me.

[@thegreatdusky3305]

Hey Rochelle! I would love to see a video on work place signs and how to communicate with someone who is deaf/hard of hearing at work. it can be difficult for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing to get along with co workers who dont speak their language. any tips or tricks you might have would be helpful. Love the videos!

[@bettinajoven7918]

Thank you, haven’t really got it yet but I will continue trying

[@punjabdeafsociety4158]

Hello Rochelle do you have a video about numeric values ... i found that US Numeric values' signs are totally different then other countries ... want to learn Numeric signs ... please share ...

[@audreyvalance6225]

Also do u have any advice for me? So my question is : I have already done many things like reading and watching many many videos, but I do not know if I am doing it right should I do a privet lesson online or go somewhere?

[@audreyvalance6225]

Hello would you please do a test video again but without have ting to go on the Internet? My printer is not working but I want to see what I know because I think i am pretty good

[@waytograce]

Rochelle, I keep telling myself I have got to take more time for ASL learning! I'm afraid you're going to stop before I get the chance to really dig in - please don't 🙏 Thank you for all your hard work!!

[@pknelson]

The link doesn't have anything from which to join said ASL Club...

[@xxshevilxx]

Still doesn't....

[@lacasitadelarbol6269]

Could you please teach some more signs?💜

[@juliaunger7179]

How would you sign " Diana said her grandfather will pick her up tomorrow" ? Would it be something like " Tomorrow Diana grandfather will pick her up" or " Tomorrow grandfather pick up Diana"

[@34nicoli]

aaah this is confusing for me because I'm used to English grammar lol. I hope to get this down so I'll be able to sign properly. Grammar, Numbers, and Colors are hard for me to get still but then again I mostly use a few signs for work...and even I'm weak in that.

[@cupofcozy708]

how do i sign up for the practice group?? I went to the site and there isn't anything for me to sign up, just the video about signing up

[@swylie830]

I hit the white link box that popped up in the right corner of the video and I was able to join. hope this helps!

[@dawnmcleod5333]

What area are you in geographically? I like your explanations but i want to ensure dialect info will match up

[@j.brandon7402]

Library switched places from right to left! Johnny bought desk for gramma maybe use gift for give.

[@rachaelaiello1770]

I'm from Texas and I love that you said "hey y'all" :)

[@tealsock6602]

Rochelle, thank you so much for all your videos! They've been so helpful to me trying to learn ASL. I have a question about grammar: how do you do the imperative tense in ASL? As in asking someone to do something. For instance, how would you say something like "Take the child to the doctor" as opposed to "The child is being taken to the doctor". Or "Put the book on the table" as opposed to "I'm putting the book on the table". I've asked a couple people this question already, and I've only gotten vague answers, so I'm still curious. Thanks so much for all your help.

[@brandonmusgrove6294]

Is she still putting out content? Just found this page and really like what I have learned so far.

[@nelsonjeftevidalmorel]

this was veeeeery helpful , thanks classifiers would cool for a future video

[@kspain9231]

Rochelle, I love your videos! I am learning so much!! I would like to see more with sentence structures! I love how you keep it simple and take time to really explain. The examples are great as well as the worksheets! I saw another post mentioning classifiers, that would be great too!

[@tessaw8644]

For the sentence Johnny bought Grandma a desk on Sunday. Could we have worded it as SUNDAY DESK JOHNNY HE BUY, GRANDMA SHE GET?

[@sshelget]

This confirms it. I will never be able to sign ASL. Just way too confusing. Even when you explain it like this, when I watch you sign it properly, if I I didn’t know the sentence originally, I would never understand what you’re saying cuz the words are all mixed up. I’m just too engrained in proper English I guess. :(

[@skylerallen9780]

I NEVER know when to put referent in front or behind the comment help!

[@juliemccollum2781]

Love that you love the library (kiss fist LOL) I am a librarian!

[@rachelk.9729]

Haha:) The end ish favorite part! I love how you teach us, but are so funny as well!

[@ananda0607028287]

finally got to hear your voice 😂

[@ronin6158]

vid kiss-fisted, thanks.

[@vonniehart4787]

Why are you speaking when talking about ASL? Are you telling us, Deaf people, that we are worthless as teachers because we don’t?

[@kspivey88]

Ugh.. I hated that book.

[@anyaharjung3643]

Why don't you sign if these videos are supposed to teach ASL?

[@bugnutsrunnels]

With all your knowledge and experience, it's disturbing to see you consistently prefer to crowd the camera so most of your signing space is cut off. It's like listening to the radio that keeps losing it's signal. You of all people should be smarter than that.
