[@hallow33nluv4]

💜 this. my daughter is deaf, she's about your age now. but when she was identified I was terrified and confused. ASL is a beautiful language-not pidgin language like some people think.

[@viic8417]

Hallow33n Luv! what do you mean "not pidgin language"? I sign pidgin (I'm hearing, I just took classes) and I'm confused as to what you're trying to say. I believe all forms of signing are beautiful as they're a form of expression.

[@HeroPrinny]

Right, she's saying that Pidgin Sign Language is not a language like ASL is. PSE is an abomination on the Deaf community.

[@RobertDMoore]

Preference of their choice, please respect each other's wishes for their Deaf children to have the best education as possible as they can provide. All sign languages even foreign ones such as Iranian, Singapore, Japanese and British, etc. are beautiful, existing form of each demographic where Deaf people live. It is fun when it comes to traveling out of USA and try experience meet Deaf people out there and you will be amazed how similar yours and theirs, sure easily understand each other also included face expression and body language. Great human interaction right there, enough to enrich your understanding on how important sign languages to them and you'll overcome stigma of some kind toward Deaf culture, just be supportive and encourage all to use their mothers' sign language teach the Deaf infants as first language before speaking language.

[@Nehmi]

@@viic8417 ASL is a full-blown language with native speakers. A pidgin is a mish-mash of words/signs that has no native speakers and is very unstable in terms of grammar and vocabulary. It's not a language per se but rather an artificial method of communication between two groups who don't speak the same language. However, the human brain can take a pidgin, make it regular and give it a set grammar in one generation if enough children learn the pidgin as a native language. Once this happens, the pidgin becomes a creole, which is a mix of languages, that has a set grammar and vocabulary. ASL is a full-on language like English, Arabic, Mandarin or Swahili.

[@chriswixtrom6514]

@@Nehmi Great descriptions!

[@hopkinsa37]

I moved to a school where one child in our grade was deaf. Everyone knew sign language but me when I first got there. I ended up learning ASL in just a few months, just naturally. We all learned to communicate with one awesome lovely student. Our teachers would say "no talking ... And no signing!" I still secretly sign some words discreetly when I'm displeased still. LMAO. I also taught my kids.:)

[@ninnilator09]

I work with students with autism. ASL is a great way to help them communicate without using their voice. I keep learning from them. Eventually they know two languages and it helps us understand them clearly when they sign and use their voices. ASL is amazing for all people. Everyone needs to learn.

[@user-vl1gl6cs3j]

I've never seen a reality show contestant which has a good heart like you... you always advocate love and hope which is so inspiring :) keep up the good work man! happy new year!

[@lorettasal]

I have 2 amazing successful adult children who happen to be profoundly deaf. Nothing stops them from reaching their goals I could not be more proud to be their mother. Sometimes it was not easy but they were stronger for the challenges.

[@Ixxxxx7]

Oh my Nyle! This is such a beautiful message of hope and love to hearing parents with deaf angels. You are a great Angel Advocate! I'm a proud supporter of this charity, just like I am of al the disabled communities. God Bless you all!!

[@WkohbFggeOp]

Thank you for the video. I almost lose hope when I found out that my son is deaf. Yes, he is the first deaf person I've ever met. But now, I am more positive and believe that he can achieve more because we will try our best to support him in whatever he wanna do in the future. Thanks nyle dimarco and all the best for you future undertaking.

[@codename9824]

Who are the 25 heartless jerks that disliked this? I hope they find a kinder personality someday.

[@marquamfurniture]

They are miserable people who lack compassion or self-esteem. Leaving thumbs- down is the only power they feel. Jealous of others' achievements.

[@mahaskagirl]

Such a positive, supportive video! I wish my parents would have had support like this when my brother lost his hearing so many years ago. Thank you, Nyle. You're doing good work.

[@wesleyjake1509]

I am always also encouraging my speaking friends about teaching sign to their hearing children especially as babies as they can learn this as their first language faster than Learning the spoken word. It will help them to understand and communicate better with themselves and many different cultures that use sign language

Sorry about my English I'm from Brazil but I had to at least try to communicate with you to share what joy seeing you brings me everytime!!!

[@sammyjocatlady7551]

Teaching all babies ASL helps them so much before they can talk... they can get have their needs known and cuts down on frustration

Hi

[@davidmehnert6206]

Many hearing people are not aware that for infants identified as deaf - living in a supportive environment - responsive signing often begins much earlier than typical spoken speech. It is not unusual to see deaf children under one year old articulating specific requests for food and other things.

[@peterbynoe9457]

Nyle love postive message.

[@lcrread]

Great inspiration from Nyle to parents with deaf child/children. Many helpful tips to help you and your child regarding their hearing loss/deafness. What you can do to help them develop their language, emotional skills, and more. There will be some challenging and hard work ahead, but help is right here! Great message, Nyle!

I'm really curious what his voice sounds like

[@yilinlee1456]

“colorful” ❤️

[@MiniStarNY]

It's a nice video! But I feel like this option you gave out is very stereotypical for every deaf person with hearing parents. I was born with bilateral profound hearing loss to hearing parents, and I received my first cochlear implant at age 3 1/2 in 1997. My parents decided not to teach me ASL because my parents knew I want to speak (or to imitate their mouths) with everyone and not feel isolated from them. Growing up in NYC, I rarely see ASL in public. Now as a graduated student with bilateral cochlear implants, I am able to verbally communicate with everyone without hassle! I HATE when someone assumes that I sign because of my hearing loss. It's exactly like a stranger asking my Korean-American friend if he speaks Chinese. I didn't realize that this video was from 2016....somehow it popped in my feeds!

[@louiscouture9139]

The voice you have is changing

[@taliamartin6343]

I only clicked on it cause I thought he had a child or something 😂😂😂

[@AnnMarie-od4ho]

I have single side deafness and a Cochlea Implant

[@ellenreza7207]

Of course!!😊❤️

[@dj8350]

Nyle I’m curious as to what your take is on Andrew Solomon’s prediction in his book, Far From the Tree, that ASL snd Deaf culture will become extinct due to medical advances eradicating deafness in the future?

[@perrybeason8389]

y 10 year old daughter is hard of hearing (deaf in one ear and hearing aid in other one but she will lose all her hearing. I'm struggling to learn asl and I don't spell good I'm scared that I'm going to wake up one day and not be able to communicate with my daughter...... I'm really in a bad place with this

[@femylafi]

I could not even watch the whole video... I started to feel dizzy when I tried to concentrate on the sign language. Its good your giving deaf children a role model though.

[@shuffflerr]

I LOVE THIS!!!

Even if you disagree with ... hell, I don't even know what you would disagree with. Please transfer those 64 to my comment and remove from @nyleDiMarco video. I'm in the business, I can take it. Lol

[@wtrskr59]

Nyle I was listening to dimensional music and how the sound was going from left to right, then I thought ,whoa.. Deaf people cant really enjoy music unless they are holding a Balloon to feel the vibration coming from the balloon. But another good question that I have: can deaf people pick up on voice vibrations from a balloon also that they can sing along.

[@breathless_siren]

Is this his same voice from ANTM? I also read this as him having a child. I wonder how his app is going I wanted to pick it up.

[@rhjerbi8595]

[@TimBell818]

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

My big question is, how does one teach their d/Deaf child to read?

[@RobertDMoore]

Deaf child will be able to read however this child is not blind, if blind there is braille for Deaf and Blind to read with their fingers. There are ways to get information processed into Deaf child's mind of acquisition which is no problem.

How can I slow down his videos? Where do I click? He signs way way way to fast for me to notice, see, recognize, and remember/learn. Probably won't learn sign language having only one arm top to fingertips that's fully capable but at least I would like to know by seeing. Anyways, anybody knows how to turn on slow motion?

[@sidereus7]

Click on the gear/settings icon at the bottom right of the screen. There is an option called "Speed". You can then set it to anything less than 1 for slow motion. So helpful for ASL!
