Mac 'n Cheese & tater tots in ASL (066 American Sign Language Vocabulary Expansion Series)

[@sign-language]

Hello ASL Heroes!!! Hey, I could really use your help. If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you. A small monthly donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com. Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!” www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G Thanks! - Dr. Bill p.s. Want to have your very own USB drive with four semesters worth of ASL instruction (that’s the equivalent of two years of colleges classes) for just $79.95? See "SuperUSB" in the ASLUniversity bookstore at: lifeprint.com/bookstore/bookstore.htm Take care and love to you all. :)

[@Anastacia8]

Bill, thank you so much for what you do with this channel. I trust your instruction implicitly. I enjoy it. I work outside the United States and have had evacuation and emergency support roles in addition to human rights. Thank you for helping me help everyone.

[@sign-language]

My pleasure -- and I'm very pleased regarding any benefit my instruction has provided you in your important work.

Bill, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so deeply from the bottom of my heart. My wife and I and our entire family are hearing, but my son was born deaf. With both of us working full time, we were quickly being outpaced by our son, who goes to an all-deaf school. Thanks to you, I can have full conversations with my son and I can continue to learn when I get home from work without the stress of a class schedule. You are an amazing person, and we love you.

[@sign-language]

Letting you know your comment means a lot to me. I kept it in my (KZbin review) "in-box" for quite a while just so I'd see it each day as I went through other incoming comments. Best wishes to you and your family!

[@elizabethdeyoung9484]

As a big Doctor Who fan, I'm excited to learn the sign for the name of the show! I'm glad to see you're enjoying it.

[@anyaflowerofsummer4320]

So happy to see more videos from you!! Have a fantastic (early) Christmas and New Year, Bill!! Love ya

[@sign-language]

Thanks! Likewise to you regarding having a fantastic Christmas and New Year.

[@mozedition3339]

Dr. Vicars, you are the absolute best!! I've been so hoping for a class in which to enroll here in Rohnert Park. But I will take what I can get and following you had taught me so very much! Thank you!!

[@IMLovelydove23]

I like this. I am learning ASL. And this helps me a lot to continue to learn and study🎉⭐

[@NovasYouTubeName]

Great video - I really had to pay attention to not miss anything during the part about how to bake the tater tots as the speed was faster 👍🏼

[@supernanostuff]

I would do just about anything to be in a live class with Dr. Bill. I took ASL at Mendocino College but there isn't another in-person class until next spring (2025) so I am studying online. I don't have any Deaf friends yet but maybe someday. I live in a rural area so there aren't many Deaf events, sadly. I just finished ASL 1 with Lifeprint and am starting ASL 2. I'm wondering how many words I know out of 10,000 or if I would be able to have a somewhat normal conversation. Thank you for all your videos and all the sharing. One of my favorite videos is the idiom one. I know how to sign "standing ovation" now and a bunch of other sayings. I love ASL and this online school.

[@graceherbertz4072]

Hooray for Doctor Who! I just watched the new David Tennent ones and am so excited for the new Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa!!!!!!)

[@JordyAstroApple]

Amazing work! I'm so thankful to have this resource. Can we pretty please have a video on space and astronomy signs? ❤🌠👨‍🚀🚀

Break a bamboo skewer into three pieces, make a tripod for the potato, cook in microwave for three minutes over a pile of onions, then mash, mix in sour cream, perfect~

[@thrivinginamber2642]

Bacon~shrimp tacos, that's genius~ Dr Who, with their theatrical orchestra music, is where I noticed it had extremely terrible sound balance that wiped out the dialog for me, and it took me a long time to understand that it was my ears.

[@elibrown153]

Great ASL video That’s a weird sign for lettuce Hitting your head 😂

Thank You !!!!

[@richtaub]

Great videos as always thanks for it. Also if there is a Habit burger around you, let Marly know she can get raw and fried onions on her burger there 😂🤓

[@sign-language]

Maybe one of these days when you are in town we can go to "Habit" (burger place) and invite Marly (and of course Bee) to join us. (However I don't know if they serve the type of food you prefer to eat these days.) Also, I received your donation, THANKS!

[@richtaub]

That would be awesome, I would love to meet her and of course see the both of you again. Actually I go to "The Habit" all the time here. They have great salads w/grilled chicken or if mom wants an impossible burger we'll go there, but the hamburgers are also really good.

[@paullambert7840]

From Ohio originally, we use dom hand (cupped with fingers together) rub along the bent nondom elbow (palm of dom hand makes contact) for (obvious) macaroni + cheese.

[@sign-language]

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Does the contact occur on the inner crook of the elbow or is it on the outer side of the elbow?

[@paullambert7840]

@@sign-language Yes, sorry, outside of the elbow.

[@armandobecerra4712]

Love you videos. It is hard to see words you finger spelling sideways to the other speaker. It maybe me that I am not fluent in finger spelling 😊

[@TheNerferNextDoor]

forklift VS Spiderman xD I'd love to see that in a movie. NEWS FLASH: EVIL FORKLIFT FIGHTS SPIDERMAN!

[@sign-language]

Or maybe "Forkliftman" (or woman or person, etc.) fights Spider-Man.

[@TheNerferNextDoor]

@@sign-language xD I don't know but it would be funny!

[@marnikapuscinski1134]

Hello. I do not know the answer to the type of food Dr. Bill prefers. I understand recently you/he tried the bacon wrapped shrimp...But before that what was the answer to the type of food? Thank you so much. * Updated: It took me to stop thinking and I understand it was Mexican food.

[@sign-language]

Hello :) A good approach to getting answers to questions about the videos is to join the official Lifeprint/ASLU Facebook group and ask your question there by posting a link to the video and including a time code of the specific point in the video where you have a question about. (That way people can easily see the exact information to which you are referring). See item number six below for the address of that group.

[@sign-language]

Additionally, if you ask questions in the video comments section, it helps to include a time code in the format of 00:00 which tends to automatically become a link.

[@marnikapuscinski1134]

@@sign-language Thank you so much! I can not express effectively just how much I appreciate all of what you do. You are truly the epitome of a phenomenal teacher. I wish I could say more about how great I appreciative I am and have been through these years but as I said I simply can express my immense gratification.

[@TheMahlyenkidyavol]

I saw a sign the other day that looked like the sign 'important' but with y hands. Does anyone know what it means?

[@sign-language]

What was the context? Other signs in the sentence?

[@TheMahlyenkidyavol]

@@sign-language it is in a cooking video. She signs 'leftover chicken drumsticks'. Then I'm not sure what she signs after that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2a9qJilorV8l80feature=shared This is the video. She signs it at 0:08.

[@sign-language]

That is a sign that means "same old, same old" -- or so routine as to be boring. It is based on the Y-hand version of "same" done with two hands and a circular inflection to add the repetitive time component. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqXJdH9trKeCraM In the future, a good place to ask such questions is in the Lifeprint-ASLU Facebook group. See item 6 below for the link. When asking questions there use the same procedure: Give lots of context, provide links, provide a time code, give your best guess, etc. The people there love to help but crave context. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ How to use ASL University to learn sign language for free: 1.
