Normalize learning sign language

[@LearnHowtoSign]

YES!

[@mythiliwarrier1927]

It should be like a subject at skl

[@nathanmendieta9747]

@@mythiliwarrier1927 Tru couldn't agree more

[@bradentheman1373]

AGREEEED

[@dannuman6510]

Was it ever stigmatized?

[@serenityrichardson5893]

I’m learning sign for my deaf sister , she really likes that I’m learning for her!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

YES!!!! Love that you have someone you are learning for.

[@macinspace101]

One time an Amazon driver came and said that my parents have a beautiful house so my mom signed thank you. He got so happy to find a hearing person who knows some asl. I want to learn myself so I can have a conversation with another deaf person ♥️

[@LearnHowtoSign]

It truly means so much by those small gestures. It's awesome you are think of others.

[@redbeardtrucker6162]

People are always so excited when you learn a language that’s not your spoken language growing up my oldest daughter works at smoothie king as a cashier,and a deaf person came in she said hello how are you in sign,and the deaf person was so excited and impressed

[@plushqueen504]

Honestly, I've been in situations where I've found myself physically unable to speak which is what caused me to want to learn sign language. This channel was a really helpful thing to find and the way it explains/shows the words/phrases makes it easier to learn. :D

[@Realkelpy]

This is why i wanted to learn to. for me it's anxiety of physical health/pain makes it hard to do brain to mouth sometimes

[@michaelwalling8281]

Thanks for sharing your motivation for learning ASL. Many of my friends through life have been nearly deaf, I wondered why they didn't learn ASL. The answer , of course, is that nobody they know does ASL. That was my motivation. (and it's easier to learn than Spanish)

[@ZOZObeepboop]

That’s awesome! I’ve started learning ASL for like the reverse reason; I was specifically learning abt autism and how some people can become nonverbal (at times or all the time) from overstimulation and I wanted to still be able to communicate w/ them

[@afuadouglas3900]

​@@Realkelpyp

[@neptunegalaxy9030]

When I told my friends I was learning sign, they asked why. Oh, I don't know, maybe because we need to NORMALIZE MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE???

[@LearnHowtoSign]

I love that you just want to learn just to be a good person!

[@adjustlearner5474]

People are always so quick to judge someone for wanting to be creative and learn more. At the end of the day you’ll be the one able to communicate with others while your friend will be lost. Good job in learning I’m learning as well

[@toffeefeathers]

I’m not hearing impaired or mute, but I think nonverbal communication like this will help me convey my emotions better when I’m overwhelmed, I’m a good or bad way. I’ve never gone completely nonverbal, but I’ve also never tried to go into a comfortable safe state like that, because I know to others it might seem like I’m overreacting. Trying this might make it easier for me to handle strong emotions

[@nightviperone]

I've been an EMT for going on 12 years, now, and have dealt with many deaf patients, family members and bystanders. I decided to learn ASL because I believe it will help relieve already stressful situations in those instances. Your video series has been so helpful and makes me feel confident using what I learn.

[@apoet9144]

can we get an update on your progress

[@nightviperone]

@@apoet9144 not much, I'm afraid. We lost 2 people at work, another EMT and a Medic, so we're down to bare bones crew, which doesn't leave alot of extra time. I need to try and get back on it, though, so thanks for bringing my attention back to it!

[@hoseokmadness8140]

No problem! Hope everything gets better at work :/

[@gamerraccoon2812]

im learning this because im doing a game and one of the characters talk in sign language lol

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Sooo cool.

[@yesilovebtsbutsowillyou9575]

I don’t know why but there’s something beautiful about sign language 💜

[@Anya-yd2fi]

Thank you for creating this video! I am on the autism spectrum. When I view these videos, I am gradually learning how to read expressions! I have shared this video with some of my other ASD friends, and they love them too. Thank you so very much.

[@DC2Marcus]

My job just hired a guy who is deaf, and its really inspired me to learn ASL. I showed him im learning sign language and the biggest smile on his face appeared. I wish i learned this earlier

[@niemataylor6863]

I love the way you teach and I've always been interested in learning. Others I watched have signed in silence which works for the hearing impaired but Im not and could never catch up. Thank you for these videos

[@ash_alk_fan1]

Thank you for these videos! I applied for a job as a middle school teacher at an international school, and there's an ASL club there. I don't expect to become fluent or anything, but I just want to be able to relate to my students. Thank you!

[@ottomendez2404]

Thanks so much for all your professional videos, you make them so enjoyable, thanks to you, I am not quitting this language.

[@pankayte860]

Thanks for the tips! I didn’t even think about slowing the video. You do a great job of repeating, but I don’t know some words in the sentence signs so it will help a lot!!

[@Rbekah...]

The tips she gives while explaining the movement of the finger really helps to remember. Greetings from Curaçao🇨🇼

[@talk2alex]

Bonus caption caption is a huge help. Visuals on how to sow video down also a big help! Tgank you. !😊

[@user-we6jr3oo6h]

I have a grandson, who is nonverbal and he is being taught ASL . So I decided I would learn in order to communicate with him.❤❤😊

[@HonC-ve7vk]

Thank you for all your video Fun and easy . I love all tips you are giving to easily memorizing I have facial nerve damage. Talking hurts . So I started learning ASL . So far I memorized about 100 words in 2 days from your channel. Thanks again

[@mbiraside]

Just wanted to say thanks for your video's. It's obvious your coming from the right place and the videos are technically well done, which is important.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you so much! It's rewarding to know our efforts are appreciated.

[@URangryX]

Excellent video! I learned a few new signs from this! Thank you, so much.

[@shresthachowdhury1770]

Glad that you are enjoying them and learning something new at the same time!

[@dranamarie]

You are beautiful! Signing along with your videos makes me smile! 💕

[@urmother2090]

Thank you! I get anxiety and panic attacks often when I can’t verbalize how I’m feeling or what I need, so I’ve been trying to learn asl. It’ll definitely take a while to learn how to really explain what I need, but emotions are a good start.

[@yarelis7777]

EL LENGUAJE DE SEÑAS DEBERÍA INCLUIRSE EN EL CURRÍCULO ESCOLAR. ME ENCANTAN TUS VIDEOS, LO EXPLICAS DE MANERA SENCILLA Y DIVERTIDA Y MUCHO MAS FÁCIL DE ENTENDER.☺️

i no no understand

[@ERIKHEADS]

Este es American Sign Language, es diferente a las señas para hispanos. However, you’re right she is so good.

[@patrum]

This is probably the best video I've ever seen to learn a language. . . and I know 4 already

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you! That means a lot from someone who knows 4 languages. I wish I could be that cool.

[@patrum]

@@LearnHowtoSign Actually you are! waaaay cooler. I'm starting to realize that ASL could have made my life much easier when being abroad. Keep up these amazing videos please! The format is really clear, professional and without a doubt they're the best ones.

My 8 year old and I will be starting your videos to learn more about sign language. I really appreciate having your videos available for us. Thank you.

Love that you are learning together.

I have a cousin and she has down syndrome she couldn't speak for about a year and I couldn't find anywhere to learn any sign language I was looking on KZbin and I found this channel this channel is great and I finally can communicate with her❤❤❤

[@infinitycryptid]

i struggle a lot with communicating with my partner when i'm nonverbal and getting frustrated with trying to get my emotions across in front of him. signing has helped significantly and, thanks to this video, i now know how to convey my feelings to him properly. thank you endlessly

[@boredom4677]

Maybe this could help me if my friends also knew some signs and could help me. Because Im pretty insecure about my talking sometimes.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

You should totally get them on board and learn ASL together.

[@boredom4677]

@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON Im insecure about talking for whatever reason, more about my voice because I sound like a squeaky chipmunk.

[@Em_Cee669]

Bro same here!! Sometimes I stutter if I start talking too fast. Or if I get frustrated while I'm speaking I stop talking all together. So when things like that happen, I want to be able to express how I feel without actually talking

[@cbennett3917]

Does anyone know of an ASL practice group in the Peekskill/Yorktown/ Cortlandt Manor area? Possibly in a Library ?

[@namrataraul]

Very interesting. I'm inspired to learn after watching a couple of your videos.

im learning sign because im antisocial sometimes lol

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Sign language is for everyone! So glad you are learning.

[@MA-ev3sn]

Wow!! How did you conclude that SL could help you manage what you consider as an antisocial behaviour of yourself? I’m really curious to know...

[@firesoul5277]

@@MA-ev3sn I get selective mute when I am overwelmed sometimes or when I am like not ready to use my voice. Which is why I started to learn some with the possibility to learn a few easy to use signs to maybe use with my parents. Like I could use them when I am frustrated and use the sign so I don't have to say I am frustrated but sign it so my mum knows I am. Also bc its cool to be able to talk/sign to my sister or someone eighter to the other side of the room or maybe in like family gatherings or bday parties. And ofcourse to make it easier on people who use sign day to day. Would be nice to be able to understand some of it and to show I care and possibly help someone out who may not speak (at times) Hope this may awnser your question or give you an idea

[@IamAWSOME879]

learning all has bean fun experience i especially love the religious 1 cause i am Christian i want to learn all so i can communicate and share the Gospel to deaf people i ting its very kind that she is doing this

[@lamechick82]

I am learning because I am hard of hearing. Plus, I tend to get sick and lose my voice a lot so this is another way to communicate

Hii! I’m learning ASL because I like a boy who is deaf and i like him and i want to communicate with with him.

I love this bec it shows step by step of signing. I wanted to learn ASL. "Beautuful Boy by John Lennon" is what im practicing; but its confusing. Theres a few videos doing it in utube so I guess diff way of hand gesture per word is broad? 🤔...And the way they were doing it is so fast 😢 ; it so frustrating...

[@susanjordan8333]

I signed as a kid because I didn't want to talk. As I got older my friends and partners didn't like that I signed and found it annoying that I would sign. My current partner is losing their hearing and I have a child who isn't really talking so while they learn I still have the tools to communicate with them. My partner even pointed out I still subconsciously sign even while talking, especially when I'm upset or frustrated.

[@masha_alpha]

Woow. This was amazing. I was wondering, could you make a video of how to sign something like, "I know how you feel" or "I feel ya".

[@LearnHowtoSign]

For this you would nod and sign "SAME".

[@iksde1401]

Im learning sign language for my friend. They're having a really bad time, and talking is really overvelming, so im learning signs for them
