Quick Q+A | About Me

[@DeafinitelyWanderlust]

[A light-skinned Mexican-American, named Stacey, is wearing colorful cactus-shaped gemstone earrings, black eyeliners, and a black graphic t-shirt. On her shirt, it shows “arriba las mujeres!” in multicolor text. Three hands raised into fists with three different skin tones. She is sitting center on the brown leather couch. Her laptop and notepad are shown on the bottom of the screen on a wooden table. On the top left, 3 social media logo icons are shown: Facebook, Instagram, and KZbin. Followed by “@deafinitelywanderlust”] hii! What this video will be about? It is a Q and A video This means that you've asked me questions and I answer your questions! Some of you guys have same questions, so I have thought of answering your common questions and make a video and share it with you all This is a short video. It's just a simple one. So, the question: where are you from? [an animated black message bubble appeared close by the laptop: “where are you from?”] I see that sometimes, okay, so I was born in the USA but my family is from Mexico they were born and raised in Mexico [On the top right side of the screen, an icon of the Mexican flag is shown. “Mexico” is shown below the flag.] and then moved here [an animated black message bubble appeared close by the laptop: “how old are you?”] Okay. A lot of people think that I'm really young like really young Actually, I'm not. I'm not that young as you think. My age is 30. I'm sharing that I am 30 years old I'm okay with telling you this, because I'm 30 and I'm proud of it. I feel like I just have more knowledge (wisdom) I have many experiences. I went through a lot in my life. 30 is great! The second question! [an animated black message bubble appeared close by the laptop: “Aren’t you American? Why can you just sign ASL?”] "Why aren't you signing in ASL?" "Why?" The reason why I'm doing International Sign [On the top right of the screen, “Although I do mixed up a bit with ASL sometimes (oops), IS does include a lot of ASL signs”] is because I have a worldwide Deaf audience there are many from different countries. I want to respect you all so that you can have accessible information There are also English captions included. And sometimes I do have ASL videos once in a while. I will still post ASL videos once in a while. If you don't like that, well. sorry. Third question: why do I love traveling? [an animated black message bubble appeared close by the laptop: “Why do you love traveling?”] Well, that's really hard for me to say everything briefly and put into words (signs) It's hard to explain the feelings but it's the people. PEOPLE. exploring the world. LIFE. I feel like I have one life in the USA but.... in other countries, I feel like I have new lives new experiences, new people, everything just became part of my heart 4th question: how many languages do I know? [an animated black message bubble appeared close by the laptop: “How many languages do you know?”] I know Spoken Spanish [On the right center of the screen, “Spanish” appeared in a white text.] Because my parents moved to the USA from Mexico and then they taught me Spanish. but I'm not fluent in speaking Spanish It's so-so Because of the Deaf accent and communicate barrier so I've been teaching myself to read and write by myself It's so-so, so I'm getting there. I'm still practicing The second language I know is English [On the right center of the screen, “English” appeared in a white text.] because well, I'm in the USA I learned to read, write and speak English And then ASL, well SEE at first [On the right center of the screen, “ASL (SEE first)” appeared in a white text.] SEE is where you signed everything per word and eventually, I learned ASL the 4th language is Chinese (Mandarin) [On the right center of the screen, “Mandarin Chinese” appeared in a white text.] Reading, writing, and speaking Somewhat able to speak Chinese. Reading and writing is better but I'm not fluent in Chinese I only can do basic now because I haven't really practiced it lately I have no one to interact with to practice Chinese 5th: International Sign. [On the right center of the screen, “International Sign” appeared in a white text.] I can do it but I need to learn and practice more 5th language is LSM. [On the right center of the screen, “Lengua de Señas Mexicana (LSM) - also known as Mexican Sign Language” appeared in a white text.] Mexican sign language I'm not fluent at this yet but right now I'm learning I think that's it. right, yeah, that's it! I do want to learn more languages! Question: What the countries that I want to see badly? [an animated black message bubble appeared close by the laptop: “Where do you want to travel the most? / what’s your dream destinations?”] The countries that I've been dreaming to see are PNG. [On the top right side of the screen, an icon of the PNG flag is shown. “Papua New Guinea” is shown below the flag.] Bhutan. [then Bhutan flag is shown] Tibet. [then Tibetan flag, “(in China)” is shown below the flag. ] Australia. [then Austalian flag] Why? It's about the people, the culture animals! nature, like mountains They all seem amazing! I want something different I like places that not many people know about it I like unique places that seem intimidating to others where they think it is hard to get by and some people aren't interested to try and doesn't like these kinds but for me personally, I don't mind that but I'll go for it! so, I really want these! so, that is all! I will share some Q+A videos in the future! thank you for your support! bye! [cut to a mauve pink and white frame with a centered video of Stacey who is sitting on one of the ruins and looking at the ruins of Teotihuacán. In the navy blue frame, a white text appeared on the top center: “follow or subscribe for more stories!” The logo of Facebook, Instagram, KZbin, and Twitter are also shown on the top left of the video screen with “@deafinitelywanderlust.” On the bottom center of the white frame, it says “www.deafinitelywanderlust.com”]

Great video. Enjoyed learning about you and enjoy watching your other videos while teaching myself sign language through several videos :)

[@DeafinitelyWanderlust]

thank you! Just in case if you didn't know, this video isn't in American Sign Language (ASL)

[@zpskk]

oh wow! I've been learning ASL for a few years now but am not fluent, so I didn't realize until now that you mostly sign in IS! makes sense now that I know, but I just figured the signs that were different were just regional variations of ASL 😅

[@DeafinitelyWanderlust]

yeah, sorry about that! I think I should've mentioned in the description that this is in IS. 😅😅😅

[@mathiasguldberg4887]

Hello! I'm the fan ^^ I love that you use English Subtitles! But I have thought if you have visit Europe before, especially Denmark. But I love asia as well ^^ And I'm deaf too ^^ I think that you could learn more languages, but I, as myself, it's maybe not the best to learn too much langauges in a time, I think that (I feel, but it's jmaybe myself) but it's beauty to learn a language in a time and while looking to next language. Because language is like a crateship, it's more motivating if I learn a thing at a time :) But remember that people is different from people to people :)

haha, I'm used to that! :) From my experiences, having a babyface is both nice and challenging >.

[@TheJoheunLife]

I'd love to connect with you sometime, especially if we're ever close enough to cross paths. I would like to continue my studies in Korean sign, ASL, IS and I am also proficient in Span, Mandarin, Korean and am always learning more about other stuff. I'd love to help you in your journey in whatever way I can! Send me a message if you'd like to get connected. Keep being awesome :)

[@DeafinitelyWanderlust]

Hi! That would be great! And Wow, so many languages! That's awesome!! Learning languages is challenging but fun! What are some of the best methods do you personally find it best to learn? Socializing is one of them, I believe.
