Bill Vicars “DR” and you still want us to donate $$? I work hard as welder and I’m Deaf. I earn only 28k and bet you earn over 50k and still want our money?

[@sign-language]

​@@blazeroranger Hello, please know that I have great respect for welders and others who do hands-on work. My uncle was a welder. He has passed away and I miss him greatly. Here in California an average welder earns around $42,760. (A welder at the top end of the scale here earns around $68,590. (That's according to: www.careerexplorer.com/careers/welder/salary/california/ ) Welding is such a useful skill! It makes me wonder if you might want to consider becoming an entrepreneur (if you are not already), opening your own welding business, and (possibly) increasing your earnings. I don't know if you would want to move here though since of course the flip side of that is the cost of living in California is much higher than many other places. The average rent for a 2-bedroom home in California is around $1,440 per month (or $2,197 a month if you live near or in San Francisco and similar places). Anyway for what it is worth -- donations go toward the following and other expenses: * dedicated IP address fee for Lifeprint.com. * domain hosting fee (for lifeprint.com, asluniversity.com, aslpah.com, asl.ms, asl.bz, asl.tc, ... * domain name registration fee * cloud storage fee (Dropbox) * internet / data fee * secure socket layer (ssl) certificate fee * equipment purchase, maintenance, and replacement costs * hard drives / usb drives / SD cards / cameras / tripods / monitors * software (for editing the videos) * stipends and snacks for the interns * electricity (for the home studio / office) I certainly do not want anyone to donate who is not in a position to do so. However -- those who are in a position to do so -- sure, I would very much appreciate help with operating expenses. An alternate good (free) way for viewers to express their support or thanks is to simply subscribe and/or click on the "like" button each time you watch an instructional video.

Both of my hands have been paralized for 15 months due some medication I took for 2 weeks. I always wanted to learn ASL. I found you on here and now you and all the students are my therapy. You really have a great bunch of learners! Thank you for the education and entertainment. Just finished with lesson 33 even though I still can't make the letters s, r, and t properly all of the time, I'm memorizing and learning. How wonderful you are to teach the world the art of signing. God bless you all. I humbly thank you again from the bottom of my heart. RESPECT.

[@annabelle746]

Thanks for teaching us ASL for free! I'm using what I learn to teach my autistic daughter to communicate. It is also nice to be able to sign with Deaf customers at my place of work. Have a nice day!

Your videos are wonderful and I sincerely appreciate the endless resources you provide for FREE! Your humor, wit and vivid expressions are quite entertaining which makes it fun to learn.

Hi Doctor Bill! I have really been enjoying your videos! I have been using them in conjunction with the on-line classes that I have been taking with one of our local universities (University of British Columbia). You make learning ASL fun and immediately applicable to every day life. Thank you for the work that you do.

[@airama.9966]

Thank you for this lesson! I always enjoy when you tell us the story of a sign such as the one for tomato. It makes it easier to remember them. PS: I love fried bologna; it is delicious! I know it sounds weird XD Happy New Year Dr. Vicars! May you and your loved ones have a healthy and blessed year!

[@sign-language]

Yah! High five on the fried bologna! Bologna is a form of sausage so it only makes sense that it would be delicious fried! Fried ramen noodles are good too! (Ha!) Ah the memories!

Onion powder is really good on popcorn. Depending on how I'm feeling I'll choose from a lot of different things like onion powder, cheese powder, garlic powder, Tony Chachere's, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne powder, turmeric, achiote powder, Tajin, basil, etc. No bland popcorn for me.

[@katie7719]

33:36 You're going over the origin of the sign "Coke". You use an A handshape, and tap your thumb on your chin. What's that sign? I thought maybe a version of "brave" but I don't know. You do it another time in the video but I can't find it.

[@sign-language]

While in most circumstances that sign would not be considered to mean "brave" but rather it is more along the lines of "long suffering" -- you are right in your interpretation in this particular context. The inflection used with that sign along with the situational context combines to mean bravely patient and willing to suffer through something. The sign is based on the sign PATIENT. Also compare the chin-based version of SUFFER.

I like this video. Interesting one. The Horny part got me laughing 🤣🤣Dr. Bill, can you please help me with the signs for pawpaw, pineapple, Guava, blueberries and others?

[@sign-language]

Nana, Pineapple has many different versions. See: kzbin.info/door/Zy9xs6Tn9vWqN_5l0EEIZAsearch?query=pineapple Or just use this cute version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6madmiIltCKmsk Blueberry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJiXn3mYecRneLM Guava is generally spelled in ASL. To find a sign for it you would likely need to check with Deaf signers in India or Thailand. I'll see what I can do. I actually used to know a sign for Guava many years ago (borrowed from South America) but have long since forgotten it. (Use it or lose it. Dang.) "Pawpaw" Is also typically spelled in ASL -- or rather it isn't discussed much at all. Best bet for a sign would be Canadian signers. Again, I'll see what I can do.

[@silvialopez4993]

Yoon Needs to smile more!!!! and have more fun!!! thats life is all about!!! xoxoxo

[@sign-language]

While it is a fact that in the American Deaf Community we tend to use lots of facial expressions -- perhaps something to consider is that different cultures use and emphasize different levels and types of facial expressions. A student's cultural background or home life can sometimes strongly influence their tendency to use (or not use) lots of facial expressions.

[@barbt4812]

I think Yoon did a fantastic job. Also keep in mind that he is on the spot, in front of the class, and being video taped. If a person is not used to that, it can be a bit nerve-wracking. So thanks, Yoon, for being willing do this and help us all learn! Kudos and thanks to Dr. Bill and all his volunteer students!

Dr Vicars, the fruit you had in Singapore is called durian.

Thanks Logan! Eating it was a very new experience! Even better though was doing it while surrounded by Deaf Singaporeans all having a great time.

[@RayOnRae95]

40:45 could you be talking about durians?

[@sign-language]

Yes! At around the 40:33 mark of the Lesson 33 Video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIargHxvapaah5Y ) I start discussing a type of fruit and then use a process I refer to as "indeterminate spelling" (or indeterminate fingerspelling). You see me start to spell "durian" D-U-R... at which point I realize I'm not going to be able to finish spelling it with any level of confidence in the accuracy of the spelling so I just add the general sign for "SPELL." The resulting meaning is as if I'm stating "D, U, R, ... something." So bravo to you for figuring out that I was referring to a "durian" (and/or durians) and even bigger bravo for catching an authentic example of indeterminate fingerspelling! See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIfEc2WBebZsY8U

[@RayOnRae95]

@@sign-language that's great! thanks dr bill... I'm Malaysian (situated next to singapore) so that's how I guessed lol. I'm not quick at interpreting fingerspelling yet, I actually guessed it from the shape and your gesturing about the smell, the fact that you were saying some people like it and some people hate it (if I understood correctly lol)

[@kevinjudd6025]

Do you have your students use goreact? I thought I saw you signed it at the end of the video My ASL teacher has us use it a LOT

[@sign-language]

GoReact is used by a significant number of ASL teachers. It has positives and negatives. The negative (from my perspective) is that grading of videos (even if done efficiently) is a huge time drain. It is so much faster just to meet one on one with students during a set time each semester and give them immediate in-person feedback. Of course with the COVID pandemic going on that is not going to happen at my day job university (or most other universities) for the rest of the semester. The other thing that concerns me is that some implementations of GoReact pass the cost onto the students. I'm very much against passing unnecessary costs onto students because it inappropriately harms those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged. (1 out of 5 college students in California are "food insecure." 1 out of 10 are "housing insecure.")
