Wow. This actually explained a lot to me. I always wondered why deaf people who couldn’t hear generally didn’t talk either. But now when I think about it. You can’t exactly learn a language you can’t hear. And without being able to hear yourself volume becomes an issue, and you cannot tell if you are saying the words correctly. Awesome video.

It seems weird to think, but what if a deaf person steps on a Lego or stubs their toe. Would they make similar sounds as non deaf people. Like a ahhhhhh, or ooooo, or breath in closed teeth. Because I feel like we make these sound based on when we heard from others, so what would the default sound of stepping on a Lego be? Is that weird to think about? Idk... Thinking about it maybe they would mimic others faces in moments of pain and make whatever sound they can while making the face? Or maybe just the face with no sound? I have never seen a deaf person get hurt like stubbing their toe or stepping on a lego before but I'm a little curious. Am I thinking too far into it....

Дай ты мне собраться с силой И до вешних только дней Прокорми и обогрей!» - «Кумушка, мне странно это: Да работала ль ты в лето?» - Говорит ей Муравей. «До того ль, голубчик, было?

Anyway, if I were teaching her (and I’m in grad school for speech-language pathology), I would show her a diagram that would show where to place the tongue. I would also tell her that it’s very similar to /t/, just pronounced in that back part of the mouth.

She is so amazing. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. She has a beautiful smile and is just amazing.

[@jn8922]

Thanks for this video. It was very educational. Its actually amazing that she can say those words without being able to hear herself. That level of intelligence amazes me. I also learned how we take for granted so much when we learned to speak as children - we mimiced tone, volume, inflection... So many things go into speaking to another person that I never realized. Even being drunk affects our volume control and ability to articulate - this video made me think of so many aspects related to speech and hearing.

Hello I have a deaf daughter too and this was kinda inspires me

[@stormychai]

That's actually really impressive that while being born deaf, you are able to pronounce words pretty well. When I first started watching some of your videos and hearing you speak, I couldn't understand the words very well. But now I can understand better just after listening for a little bit! Totally awesome, and by the way, you have the sweetest laugh ever, it made me laugh too!!❤💎 Thank you for sharing your videos!

[@dawn8293]

Such a fun family moment! It had me laughing, enjoying almost being there with you guys. Your dad seems so sweet!!

[@maribelsalazar6058]

The love and care is evident. It warms my heart, thank you for showing us.

So cool. Her positivity just kinda had me smiling the whole video. Thanks for posting.

Many years ago, I worked for the federal government. At my office, we had a large number of deaf employees. During lunch time, many of them sat together in the cafeteria. It was the loudest, most fun table of all! My assistant was deaf, and I learned a lot of sign language from her, so it would be easier for us to work together.

[@juliarunn5009]

Deaf people are surprisingly loud 😂. Even for me, with hearing aids, I am very loud when I don’t have them on bc I don’t know how much noise I’m making.

[@Smitology]

@@juliarunn5009 I'd say it's for a similar reason why a person with normal hearing talks louder when wearing headphones, and they cannot hear their own voice.

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

@@Smitology my wife is deaf, and she talks louder when she's listening to music through her cochlear. I guess it's universal 😂

[@Trollika_Devi]

She has such a beautiful smile. Seems like a fun person to hang out with as well :)

I always look forward to your videos. I was able to understand 6 out of 10 the first time, and see this was from a couple years ago. Thanks for posting this and glad you shared it, along with having your favorite guest star :D Enjoy the rest of the weekend and looking forward to the next one Regards Rich :)

Cool! Thanks, Rich! 😄 And you too, have a great weekend!!

[@carmelinabridges4143]

Thank you so much for this video! We just watched Bluey episode Turtleboy which had a deaf child in it, prompting a conversation with my kids! They commended the child couldn't speak, so we talked about how he may but it might sound different. We talked about varying degrees of hearing impairment and how that might impact. I wanted them to hear how a deaf person may speak so they can have understanding if/when they hear someone speaking in this way but I didn't want to attempt to mimic! Im so glad you made this video! It really helped my kids understand and appreciate how much more work someone who cannot hear has to work!

[@edladd212]

It’s beautiful watching you both interact. Lots of love there.

[@lxix_lxix]

Thank you for sharing your voice! I know you cannot hear it, but you sound beautiful! The collective sounds in "pumpkin" are really hard to pronounce altogether, so don't feel badly for not getting it right away. You're doing great so far! And thank you for helping me and others like me learn ASL!

That was awesome, with love! I have mispronounced words thousand times over the years. I did work hard correcting myself, with help, of course.

[@signedwithheart]

Right, it's hard work!! 😄 Sometimes I have to really think about some words... like I often forget to say the N in the Thank You... sometimes I would exaggerate the N... thannnkyou, haha.

[@Soy_Preinaugural]

My stepsister is deaf, and I grew up with her using a “Deaf accent" through childhood. I didn’t know until I was older that some deaf folks choose not to fully use their voice when interacting with the hearing world! I love her musical voice 🤟 *if I was insensitive in any way, please feel free to educate me; and, please be respectful 🙏

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

My wife is deaf and she generally only likes to voice when around people she is comfortable with.

[@patricioungaro3382]

I was born hearing impaired, but didn’t start wearing hearing aids until I went to the university. Before that I never understood why I needed to sit right on the first row of the class to understand something. And I always struggled with the volume of my voice, everyone was always saying that I was too loud, while I could just barely hear myself.

[@Mujahid009]

This was adorable, and the idea of trying to teach a deaf person how to sound words brought tears to my eyes. I had to idea how difficult the journey is for both people

[@parys4uapp306]

I had to cry at how beautiful her smile and voice sounds...

Geez, I don't even know how she learned how to do that. That's pretty good and it seems pretty impossible to learn to memorize mouth shapes as you talk but you can't hear it would be so so hard! 😮

[@megaxind16]

Exactly must be rly hard. Some people even struggling learning new language, now imagine learning a language but you can't hear it.

That’s great Ashley I think I need a teacher like you to get more out of signing I enjoyed your voice too

I met a guy like that and he sounded like he was a vocalist in a death metal band. Cool dude.

[@pwnmeisterage]

I suppose being part of a death metal band would explain hearing loss, lol

I have a deaf friend and her voice sounds exactly like the lady, after sometime i learn how to lip read to converse with her. The funny thing is i've always talk to her without making any sound 😅

This is pretty cool. I have some friends and a cousin with a hearing impairment. I’m currently learning sign language. However I’m legally blind in both eyes so it’s kinda hard but It’s worth it in the end. ❤
