I am a bartender and one of my regulars is deaf. I’m ashamed it took me so long to start learning my asl for him, but you can’t imagine how happy his smile made me the first time I asked him how he was doing. Thank you for these videos!
@@natbvm1880 this is awesome that you are doing this for him! Although you're specifically doing this for one customer it will transfer to other customers in time provided you keep up with them. ASL or even just sign language is a skill that if you don't use it you lose it. As an ASL teacher and Interpreter (well technically I've not done either professionally for awhile, but you never truly stop doing those things) you rarely even see parents bothering to learn for their children. In fact, it's extremely rare to see the parents or family members bother. So it's amazing to hear that you're doing this for a customer.
You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos. I'm taking ASL 1 and it's hard to see these signs, but the way you do you it is so helpful because you show it sideways. If you notice other RUclips videos, they don't really do that. The way we see it could be really different from the way you actually do it. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words!! I appreciate the positive feedback and support. I remember how difficult it can be in the beginning but keep at it and it will get easier. 👍🏼
I'm a preschool teacher and one of my student is non-verbal, so he has no way of comunicating with us and i decided to teach him ASL and With your videos within the passed 3 days has helped me learn a lot for him and he's gotten the word please down so far.. I'm so grateful I found your page😊 thank you!
Hello Dana! I love your videos. Very informative and concise. I am practicing basic asl with my son for us to learn together. He can talk but this is our alternative language communication because sometimes kids have a hard time articulating themselves. Thank you very much!!
Thank you for the positive feedback Donna! It is much appreciated. I am happy to know that you are learning ASL with your son. It's a great way to express your feelings (for all of us!).
Greetings, I really enjoy how you teach, the videos aren’t long where it can become overwhelming and one forget half or most of what is being taught. You explain hand shape, direction, position and motion, this is extremely helpful. I am learning way better with your method. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback. I do try to be mindful of keeping the videos short and to the point. Occasionally I will have a longer one but I think a little at a time works best.
Thank you Dana for these helpful videos. Your directions are clear and I appreciate the repetition of each gesture. I am starting to use ASL with my 8 month old so that she can communicate with us before she masters verbal speech. I also have always wanted to learn ASL to communicate with friends and colleagues, so I appreciate your videos.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I love that you are teaching your little one ASL. You will be able to communicate with them comfortably when they are not yet able to express what they need by using their voice. It's amazing. I'm happy to know that my style of teaching is beneficial as well.
Does it matter if a person moves their hand either counterclockwise or clockwise with these signs? I notice you tend to use a counterclockwise motion for your movement signs. I need to think of a fun ASL question for my urban legends and trivia channel. My Uncle Ronnie used to work at the well-respected American School For the Deaf located in Hartford, Connecticut for many years.
Ive just noticed ive been teaching my 2 year old ASL since she was 6 months and its suddenly dawned on me that the british sign language (we're british) is completely different to what ive taught her, will this matter long term?
Hello and thanks for watching! Do you live in GB? If so, you will need to focus on BSL. I’ve visited a few times and have experienced the language. It is completely different from ASL. If you are British but live in the States, ASL will be necessary.
If you are teaching your child so that you can communicate with her, it shouldn’t matter which option you choose but in the long term, if you live in GB, BSL will prove more useful for your child.
Thank for your videos. I am about to start serving and I have been learn esl and asl. This video has helped with that. I am also trying to figure out how to ask if you are ready to order and would you like a dessert or a refill? Any help would be awesome.
That's great to know that you are studying multiple languages. You will be able to communicate with so many people. Thank you for checking out my page. Here is a link to the sign for "more" (which could be used for the word refill) at min 5:48 ruclips.net/video/viycYJ6z4oY/видео.html Also the signs for want and don't want will be useful .ruclips.net/video/S__TNol3TeM/видео.html
Hello was wondering if you accept requests for signing certain topics if so could you please do signs about marine animals like pufferfishes, sharks, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, etc?
Hello and yes, I do try to make requested videos. I can make a video for marine animals. There is not a specific sign for pufferfish though. You would spell "pufferfish" and then describe it. In the meantime, I do have a video for farm animals and pets. Thank you for watching and requesting! ruclips.net/video/-RFGEw7N8aE/видео.html
@@ASLLOVE Couldn’t you fingerspell it and then describe it’s perfectly fine if you can’t. Could you also do a video on body types like fat, skinny, pregnant, overweight, muscular, etc thanks!
Hi and thanks for watching. You are right. The sign I use is for FROZEN. While I do mention that you can spell I-C-E or I-C-E-D I also commonly see (and use) the sign for FROZEN in conjunction with COFFEE or TEA. I would not use the sign for FROZEN when requesting ice with my water. In hindsight I should have mentioned that.
@@ASLLOVE when I initially learned sign language at the age of seven I learned SEE sign from two sisters who were Deaf. Unfortunately back when I was a kid, SEE sign was heavily used for teaching English. But I was down by these girls to use frozen. It never made sense to me. Later as I learned about ASL when I had to attend CSDF in Fremont, CA I learned a little more ASL but even there they used more SEE than ASL. Now as an adult and ASL teacher/Interpreter, I don't use frozen depending on the context. I use ice. I have a 16 year old grandson with Down Syndrome who also is non verbal that I'm teaching to read so he's learning the difference between I-C-E and FROZEN and when to use each. In doing so, it's helping him to learn to spell simple words. He sees them as a "sign" in his mind vs spelling.
@@MusicInMotion_67 Thank you for sharing your story. I have also experienced the intertwining of SEE and PSE in my education and work experiences. I can understand why you would choose to sign I-C-E and FROZEN accordingly. There are a few slang/regional signs that have made their way into my vernacular. As a result of this, I do like to show options that I am aware of.
I’m starting to get traction using asl for my autistic boy. Luckily he likes mostly water but chocolate milk too (who doesn’t?). He can recognize songs and things I say. But I’m sure of his receptive language is not as discerning as a neurotypical and his vocal language isn’t really there at all. This seems like the path foreword to building his active language. Thank you!
That's great that you are using ASL to further communicate with your son. It is such a useful language for a variety of reasons. 👍🏼for Sign Language (and chocolate milk).

Ultimately, it wouldn't change the meaning of the sign. It should feel like a natural movement when signing it.
@@ASLLOVE And they sign the opposite way in Australia though (ha ha).
