Hello ASL Heroes!!! Hey, I could really use your help. If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you. A donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com. Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!” www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G Thanks! - Dr. Bill p.s. Want to have your very own USB drive with four semesters worth of ASL instruction (that’s the equivalent of two years of colleges classes) for just $79.95? See "SuperUSB" in the ASLUniversity bookstore at: lifeprint.com/bookstore/bookstore.htm Take care and love to you all. :)
I have followed you on RUclips for over a year now and I have learned so so so much. Haven't been able to actually sign with anyone yet. But I'll be ready when I am able to. You keep doing what your doing sir because every night I watch a lesson of yours before bed. Thank you sir for posting your videos so we can all learn daily. Very much appreciated!!
This video is so helpful for not just turning English sentences into sign, but how to SHOW them in ASL in several ways. Exactly what I’m trying to work on currently. LOVE it, thanks a million Dr. Vicars. Also on “worse” - my one mentor explained how it’s similar to how people say “sick!” In English to sometimes mean awesome or awful ;) helped frame how to use “worse” without thinking literally
This was very (super CHA) helpful. I have often found myself searching to sign a sentence with a comparative or superlative and not knowing how. I also hope Super CHA becomes a meme!
Ha Ha Ha, or Ho Ho Ho, because it is now so close to Christmas 2020. I started watching this video and was confused because it began with "CC". Then, of course, your hilarious sense of humor kicked in!!!! :))) Thus my Ha Ha Ha.........
Hello Mr. Bill Vicars my name is Thomas I had written you before about starting ASL and becoming an interpreter, and now im in the middle of my second year and this is where they seem to be separating the serious from casual students. do you by any chance have any courses other than what is on you tube or teach an online class.
Technically "-est" moves higher than "-er." In practice however it is never really an issue. We might list off our children and/or brothers / sisters -- and the youngest is at the bottom of the list. Thus we wouldn't even use "-est" or "-er."
Also, if you sign: "MY YOUNG BROTHER" it is almost always understood to mean "My younger brother." You do not need to add a separate sign in that case for "-er" since it is generally obvious to your conversation partner. If you wanted to state, "My brother is young" -- you could sign: MY BROTHER HIMSELF YOUNG. or MY BROTHER HE YOUNG.
for the format, "peter, jane, old-er": ruclips.net/video/7T_pxoNWs3o/видео.html does this syntax typically mean that the latter is older than the former? thanks
You need to take into account when I lean to one side or when I point toward one of the referents. It isn't so much about the syntax as who I'm actually referring to via pointing or leaning.
I'll look into that. Thanks. Are you seeing changes in the white balance and/or exposure when I switch to type on the white background and then back to the black background on the monitor? What specifically are your eyes seeing that clue you in to those two specific camera settings? This particular video (superlatives and comparatives) (and several others) I've been attempting to do in my home-office. The lighting is not ideal and there is a strong light coming in from a window just off to Rach's left. I'll probably end up just doing the instructional type videos in my "studio" (back room with gobs of extra lights). Decent camera settings would be easier if my sight were better. I've got red-green tint-blindness . Plus I can't tell the focus (from the tiny screen or viewfinder) half the time to set manual focus. I'm going to look for the setting that puts a yellow outline around the in-focus object (to help with setting manual focus). Often I just ask my (very nice) assistants to take a look in the viewfinder to make sure we aren't "green blobs."

I learn so much from watching these videos.. Thank you so much for being an Awesome teacher !!
This was very (super CHA) helpful. I have often found myself searching to sign a sentence with a comparative or superlative and not knowing how. I also hope Super CHA becomes a meme!
The closed captions at the beginning are great.
I have requested this for so long. I'm so happy you finally did a lesson.
Great and very helpful lesson. Thank you!
Love watching your channel

High five Shirley!
Great to have someone watching who can appreciate a joke.
Bill Vicars is the best-est ASL teacher! 😀🌺

Great video! Great-est! 👍🏻
Great lesson!
Good lesson. Is there a difference between "younger" and "youngest" in ASL?
Technically "-est" moves higher than "-er."
In practice however it is never really an issue.
We might list off our children and/or brothers / sisters -- and the youngest is at the bottom of the list. Thus we wouldn't even use "-est" or "-er."
Also, if you sign: "MY YOUNG BROTHER" it is almost always understood to mean "My younger brother."

MY BROTHER HIMSELF YOUNG.
or
MY BROTHER HE YOUNG.
Excellent.
Awesome !!

You need to take into account when I lean to one side or when I point toward one of the referents.
It isn't so much about the syntax as who I'm actually referring to via pointing or leaning.
If you can disable the auto white balance and auto exposure, it would improve the overall video.
I'll look into that. Thanks. Are you seeing changes in the white balance and/or exposure when I switch to type on the white background and then back to the black background on the monitor?
