WORKING TOGETHER AS A DEAF AND HEARING COUPLE: OUR EXPERIENCE

[@ariellesiordia7655]

I'm hooked... this channel is quite addicting! I'm excited as well, and I can't wait to see what you do! :D

[@ariellesiordia7655]

Sign Duo No, thank you! I'm attempting to obtain a minor in ASL (I'm in my 4th semester,) and this is the best Deaf/Hearing/ASL channel I've found yet.

[@chantellejohnston3008]

So interesting to hear how people change their initial prejudice and open their minds! "Don't be scared to talk about it because that's what causes the problem." 100%, good advice

[@jennieharefa8455]

thanks for both of you guys ... I like your channel ... Love it so much ❤️❤️... I hope I can learn about ASL but for now I’m just learn English (with your subtitle youtube) so I hope I can learn ASL after fluency english.. BTW I’m from INDONESIA 🇮🇩 (Asia) Love You .... ❤️❤️

[@sariyaelizabeth]

I just ADORE you both. I somehow stumbled on your page today and cannot get enough of your love, your energy, and how much awareness you bring to the deaf and hard of hearing community. I can't wait to follow you on your vlogging journey and I'm looking forward to more videos!

[@anamurii]

You guys are so cute! I work at Starbucks and my co-worker is deaf and when she first started I could tell a lot of people were nervous/scared to even ask her a simple question lol because they didn't want to say/sign anything wrong. She encouraged my co-workers( I know ASL) to not be afraid and even taught them some signs! ... BTW I'm soo excited your going to be working on the channel more!

[@lyktahlyktah8528]

Wish you would make videos more often.

[@Omack002]

I remember when you only had two videos up! Your channel has come so far since then- I'm really looking forward to all seeing all the new videos you make. Honestly the best channel out there x

[@YesseniaMartinezpage]

Hi! Mexican squad! 😊✌🏽 We love using hand gestures part of natural conversation. I love learning from your perspective. Thank you 😊

[@galgreen3749]

This channel is really so interesting every single video is amazing ❤️ 😍

[@annaroland5269]

I totally agree that you don’t need hearing to be a good chef. I actually lost my hearing just for 3 days and kept working, orders come in written down, there’s a lot of flow and routine. Fact that I couldn’t hear actually didn’t seem to matter 🤷‍♀️

[@kareneide]

I like this vlog. It looked like the sign for practice and training are similar. Or are they the same?

[@DejahMonae]

That is so cool that you guys got to work together! Also it's so nice that his coworkers love him because some people will just try to give up on you because you're different but don't even know that you're actually really intelligent.

[@cristinab1111]

I'm so excited for what your channel has become and what is in store for future vids! You two are the best!

[@TheOrganicMatter]

Ryan and Ellen if you're seeing this comment please make more videos you're channel is sooo addictive and I have literally watched all of your videos. Please keep them coming😘😍🌸🤗

[@mrsseasea]

You guys are absolutely right.....you both are wonderful people that are just like me and other people....just communicate differently.....I think it looks beautiful when sone one signs.....and this can be used in other situations where speaking is out of the question! Awesome that Ryan showed them he can do this and any job!

[@Ladyleigh86]

I love the vision you have for your channel!! can't wait to see it !

[@trishandthecity]

I just discovered your channel and I’m obsessed! I’ve never met a Deaf person before and your channel has opened my eyes to a whole new world. Both of you are so inspiring. I love your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@Mishy82193]

the captions drop at some points & i panic for a split second but then realize its good practice to see what Ryan's saying & using my receptive skills xD!

[@zinirivera455]

deaf song

[@evalette7107]

Same!

[@timhollinger9225]

Yay! We definitely appreciate you guys and I'm excited for new stuff and more stuff!

[@10OF9OFBORG]

HI guys! Don't worry you both doing fine. Just one person need to work on signing is Ellie I think that's your name because I am hard of hearing and my wife Chinese hearing and both of us don't signs to each other but we speaks other languages in either English and Chinese. I however I do use sign language when I meet other deaf and hard of hearing. It'll be a little hard but you both will get use to it. Good luck both of you. I enjoy all your videos and I will keep watching your videos.

[@Crystal-oy6go]

I think it's amazing that you guys are going to put more time on your channel. I want to become an interpreter and just watching Ryan and You sign and communicate is extremely helpful. I learn new signs everyday😊

[@kemageorge2194]

OMG I am thrilled that there will be more Sign Duo! I love you guys! I am an ASL major and although I want to become a Physician, my next passion is Deaf culture and sign language. Don't judge (lol) but I wish sometimes I could date someone who is Deaf because I just love the culture and people so much. They are so warm, welcoming and non-judgemental. I hope to find more people in the deaf community to get to know and communicate with. Thank you guys for ALL that you do, it is truly appreciated!

[@mic2275]

Wow! Can't begin to explain who excited I am to see more new content! I learn so much through your videos. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. Keep doing what you are doing!!! :)

[@RK-qs8ul]

love these vlogs, you guys pure cute together

[@RK-qs8ul]

Sign Duo your welcome, and thank you for sharing. Good luck with the channel in the future too 💜👐

[@claudiaxosmile]

Wow story time is always the best time! Now I want to see you working Ryan and see how you interact!! i really don't want January to end... going to miss videos everyday!

[@dorit33]

Can't wait for your Q&A tonight! I'll be watching after the livestream is done. :) Awesome you'll be able to focus on the channel and growing it! You guys deserve so many subs and views! ❤

[@Tatiana-ef4tq]

You two deserve to be known more cause your relationship is extraordinary. So adorable and unique in every way❤❤

[@j__2511]

I just discovered your guys channel. You guys are great! Also I'm learning sign language so I think watching the videos is helping me! (:

[@petercrowe5904]

Ryan and Ellen----your videos / vlogs have been so helpful and amazing...really look forward to seeing more---I'm serious ...!

[@candicedavid4653]

Awesome vlog! :) looking forward to watch more vlogs. :) Wish you, Ellen all the best! :)

[@michelleleduc6753]

I love watching you guys, I actually took asl in high school and college I believe it's a beautiful language and I love watching you guys talk about it! Please keep it up! 🙌🏻

[@tismejackieg]

You guys are great!!! I love the part about bridging the gap b/w deaf and hearing. I'm hoh and that is my life lol

[@agent9429]

Wow this is so amazing!! You being a server and Ryan as a prep cook, lol you do know the struggle of working in the hospitality service. 😅😂😩 I'm a culinarian and in my school we're put into teams every quarter and doing service for two weeks, I can't handle too much stress because after I'll cry. It was hard for me to handle 3 tables with 12 people total, I cried because I was stressed and had gotten food mixed up.

[@shyknee]

Sorry, the captions are in front of a white/grey background, is there any way to change the colour to make it more easy to read?

[@clamorous9658]

I just figured this out myself after my captions popped up in bright green. Go into the settings next to the CC button and click subtitles/CC. In the upper right hand corner of the grey box click options and there are TONS of ways to customize the captions. You can change the font and background color and opacity in there.

[@shyknee]

Thank you!

[@shyknee]

P.s, I love your vlogs!!

[@iulianasolopa2122]

How old are you both

[@agent9429]

There is an old Filipino guy who is the samw kitchen as me and he can't speak because he's had a car accident, he can however hear and I notice other people are saying why is he even here but I think, it shouldn't matter your age, your here to learn and still have so much despite your age. He is slow at working but I can tell he's doing his hardest despite at times feeling frustrated that people take him for granted which when I read that was like wow, there's more to him! 😂

[@agent9429]

Sign Duo Thank you for replying and I agree fully! So excited for the new videos! :)

[@rachellep.1133]

I love your videos. Please please please keep making them. You guys are so beautiful I can't even stand it.

[@naeviastark]

Great video! You guys are so lovely

[@joshserrano554]

It is a very interesting thought I know that me being Puerto Rican and Italian and my family always uses hand, facial, and body gestures all of time. Never thought of it in that way concerning someone who is hard of hearing.

[@toner37]

Using my peripheral vision to read the captioning and watching Ryan sign. Something I am sure most are not use to doing. But that's life. I do try and pick up on things.

[@ethanlaplante117]

Great vdeo! Can't wait for more!!!

[@markm691950]

That what Hearing always do trying to talk in your ear than face you to talk sometimes chasing your ears makes me laugh sometimes.have to explain to eye contact to communicate.lol

[@nevaehhope6044]

I hope I don't offend you so I'm going into asl and psycology so I love ASL vids but what if a deaf person was to cook how would they be alerted that the foods done so it don't burn or over cook

[@gummybearsloveme123]

nevaeh hope usually there are things that alert deaf/hoh people with flashing lights! :)

[@nevaehhope6044]

caroline ty

[@aracely1528]

I come from a Mexican family and i know we move our hands a lot, gestures too. haha so i agree on that part!

[@hityouinthenuts]

I'm starting to write a short film with deaf characters and your videos are very helpful for understanding communication between deaf or hard of hearing people and hearing people who've never interacted with a deaf person before. Do you have any other anecdotes about people doing/saying the wrong thing to/around you? Funny ones?

[@mariamoore2182]

I would love to see you guys maybe do a series of videos where you teach us some asl. My boyfriend is deaf with hearing aids, his son is deaf with cochlear implants, and his 2 daughters are different levels of HOH with hearing aids, my son and I are both hearing. ive been teaching my son asl from birth (hes only 2) as i learn new signs so he can communicate better with his brother and sisters, but since my bf uses ha and speaks he doesnt sign much and has forgotten much it, his son speaks very well and signs but when hes home he doesnt sign all that often he signs more at school hes only 8. At home they rely more on lip reading which im trying to get past, As sometimes its not always easy. i try to get his son to teach me asl by signing more at home so i can be signing to him more and communicating with him better because im the type of person to watch and learn but not having much help from him with it. cant blame him tho he is only a kid. But i would love to become fluent in asl as i know and feel it would make communication in our house much easier. im a new subscriber and have watched a couple past videos and have already picked up a few new signs just from watching you two talk and sign to each other but would definitely love to see videos geared towards teaching asl specifically. I love learning new languages right now im only fluent in english and spanish but would really like to add asl to my list. Cant wait to watch more of your videos and learn from you two all that i can.

[@tinymayo9614]

Love seeing couples 😛 makes me happy that others are happy.

[@BaileyCarpenter7]

Hi love watching you guys! It helps me practice my sign. I was wondering if you could talk about your career paths and how it is sometimes stereotyped that deaf people will not succeed in life. Also if Ryan ever thought about going to the Riverside school for the deaf. I have a brother who goes to the Fremont school for the deaf.

[@nicoley9926]

Do you guys work at the Cheesecake Factory at this video?

[@Ojekay10]

I used to work with my now husband a few years ba k and it was the best. We picked each other up had breakfast afterward. I miss working with him!

[@Sarshie]

it would be hard for me to look a deaf male in the eyes when talking because thats against my culture to look men in the eyes. I hope a whoever im talking to doesnt get offended by that :)

[@Serene80]

Desert Rivers It's more about keeping your mouth and face where they can be seen clearly than anything else. Just don't duck your head or cover your mouth.

[@anthonyramirez3769]

So does that mean that Ryan bought the laptop and won't be using it as much for editing ?

[@kaylahorton7083]

Love this channel! I’m australian and planning to take Auslan classes once i finish school. Does anyone know if Auslan and ASL are similar? I know the signs for the alphabet are very different, thats the only part if Auslan I know

[@kaylahorton7083]

Sign Duo OMG!! Love you guys x I am looking forward to them thank you ❤️

[@caseypearce2497]

Kayla Horton I'm also planning on learning auslan, so far I have the alphabet down, now I have to learn other things. Asl and auslan are different from what I heard, I know they use one handed while doing the alphabet but with auslan it's two hands.

[@donnaensman3089]

Yes I agree with both deaf and hearing together wonderful good job God is good to them also we are too .. Praise The Lord Amen 🙏

[@maiyoukai7719]

I was wondering if in the next vlog if you could teach how to sign "Do you read lips?" that way it's helpful well for me if I ever do come across some one who is deaf/hard of hearing and yes being Mexican we do use our hands a lot xD

[@maiyoukai7719]

Sign Duo thank you so much and I always do. I have learned so much from watching your vlogs

[@abbyvlogs9049]

[@najmashaikh3589]

Sign Duo sorry

[@Lilacmarier]

Nice comments, I thought you look like to use video that look like you work at home? if it is ok with you if I share comment with you about business?

[@alishacleaves4446]

I wish I knew how to read sign language
