Hello Lily! As best I can tell, from what I've read -- you can use Venmo through Paypal. Would you believe that Venmo is actually owned by PayPal!? Apparently Paypal now accepts Venmo payments (according to Wikipedia's entry regarding Venmo.) For more information on the process, see: help.venmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/217042888-How-It-Works Or I believe you can sidestep the issue totally by using an an approach that doesn't require you to log-in nor set up a Paypal account. Go to this link: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G and there is an option that says "or donate with a credit or debit card." Using that option means you won't have to set up a Paypal account. You just input your credit info and "Shazam!" -- all done.
This is way better than some of the ASL classes Ive been in where they just give you a video to reciprocate from. The best I found is from the deaf community that works with schools.
You can really see how important non-verbal communication is (even more important for people who are deaf or hard of hearing). I'm studying psychology and for some classes you fail if you don't have the right expressions (no joke, points get deducted when you use the wrong expression or don't express yourself enough). Expressions are important wether its with sign language or spoken words! Thank you for the lesson! 😁👍
Hello Splash! Indeed. In ASL we have something we refer to as "facial grammar" wherein eyebrow movements function as a form of punctuation.

I hear the words internally when I sign or there is a slight delay when I will say the word "internally" then sign after. I can't imagine how I could do it without an internal dialogue. I guess it takes a lot of practice if you've been able to hear and talk all your life.
My commitment to my craft knows no bounds. ;-) I think your comment helps point out the value of learning ASL from multiple angles rather than only being exposed to it head-on.

The terp was there that first day in case I needed to communicate with the the video technician in the back. That class was being live streamed to three different cable outlets in the Sacramento area (about 5,000 households). After the camera started rolling (and I started teaching) the terp just relaxed and enjoyed the down time (while picking up a $55 an hour paycheck to be split with the terp agency).
Did you get so excited about catching someone's mistake that you immediately popped into the comments to point out her mistake and missed the part less than two minutes later in the video at 27:53 when I specifically instructed her to not use the non-dominant hand and at 27:54 when she fixed her sign and got it right? That that back and forth feedback process is one of the reasons why the channel has so many subscribers -- many viewers love to learn from the mistakes of the on-screen student because the learners in the audience often make the same mistake without realizing it. Then when they see me fix the issue on camera they realize they had the same issue and can improve their signing. ruclips.net/video/9LtDXSw3e6Y/видео.html
@sign-language ah sorry, hard to set tone in text. Me and my wife have been going through your playlist try learning ASL And thought it would be funny to have a "erm actually " nerd moment🤓 No offense intended
Ah, got it! "𝙚𝙧𝙢 𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔" is a meme!! (That meme hasn't quite spread as much in the Deaf community -- at least not to the few threads in my feed.) I had noticed the CAPS and wondered at your use of them. After you pointed out to me that "erm actually" is a thing -- I asked "AI" to explain to me the "erm actually" meme. Answer: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 "𝙚𝙧𝙢 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮" 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙩 𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧.

I actually knew most of this, but I like to practice. thanks for helping!!
Learning sign is making me so happy. I'm proud that I'm learning some.
OMG! It was so productive for me!! Thanks!
Thanks for all the teaching vids, have a blessed new year 😊 (John 3:16)
I hear the words internally when I sign or there is a slight delay when I will say the word "internally" then sign after. I can't imagine how I could do it without an internal dialogue. I guess it takes a lot of practice if you've been able to hear and talk all your life.
at 45:00 i was convinced you were signing "whore" and i was shocked at the commitment to repeat it so many times 🤦🏻♀

Did you hear the one about the helicopter?
Never mind, it would go over your head.
@@sign-language I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you may not get it.

"Do you know her?" -> know *her ?
and
"Is she a student?" -> learn+person *her ?
Ref: "*" is like a C++ pointer
-----
I don't know why I'm not registering the "person" suffix and confusing the signs for "know" with "learn." Would you not use the phrase "Do you know her?" using "know" as in "Do you know ASL?"

IX-(she) STUDENT (is)-IX-(she)?
IX = index or point at. This can be used as a present referent to state he, she, they-(singular), it, that specific item.
The meaning of "is" is created by context and raising of the eyebrows while repeating the indexing (pointing) movement at the end.
I'm assuming it was a female but could have been a male or nonbinary by glossing as:

Thanks!
Will do and thank you! Honestly surprised to see a response so quick to a video from 4 years ago. Incredible :)
just out of curiosity, is there a version WITH audio?
There is no version of any of my videos (on the "billvicars" channel with voiced interpretation of what is being signed.
If you are struggling to understand the video you might wish to pre-study the lesson at the Lifeprint.com website and then come back and watch the video after you have reviewed the individual vocabulary links.

Sou brasil , vou aprender parte asl com voce
Thanks you....
30:32 i've been called out, oh dear
Good thing you were paying attention.
What sign are you signing at 11:40? ____ person?
The sign at 11:40 is "interpret." When paired with the "person" sign it means "interpreter."

@@sign-language If this is a total immersion class, how come there was an interpreter? Just curious.
The terp was there that first day in case I needed to communicate with the the video technician in the back. That class was being live streamed to three different cable outlets in the Sacramento area (about 5,000 households). After the camera started rolling (and I started teaching) the terp just relaxed and enjoyed the down time (while picking up a $55 an hour paycheck to be split with the terp agency).
@@sign-language Oh, ok. That's cool.
UH ACUTALTYY AT 26:06 she signed good instead of thanks
Did you get so excited about catching someone's mistake that you immediately popped into the comments to point out her mistake and missed the part less than two minutes later in the video at 27:53 when I specifically instructed her to not use the non-dominant hand and at 27:54 when she fixed her sign and got it right?
That that back and forth feedback process is one of the reasons why the channel has so many subscribers -- many viewers love to learn from the mistakes of the on-screen student because the learners in the audience often make the same mistake without realizing it. Then when they see me fix the issue on camera they realize they had the same issue and can improve their signing.

@sign-language ah sorry, hard to set tone in text. Me and my wife have been going through your playlist try learning ASL And thought it would be funny to have a "erm actually " nerd moment🤓
No offense intended
Ah, got it!
"𝙚𝙧𝙢 𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔" is a meme!!
(That meme hasn't quite spread as much in the Deaf community -- at least not to the few threads in my feed.)
I had noticed the CAPS and wondered at your use of them.
After you pointed out to me that "erm actually" is a thing -- I asked "AI" to explain to me the "erm actually" meme.
Answer:
𝙏𝙝𝙚 "𝙚𝙧𝙢 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮" 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙩 𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧. 𝙄𝙩 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 "𝙀𝙧𝙢, 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮..." 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙙.
Thus I see now that you were trying to be nerd funny pedantic not ... 𝙚𝙧𝙢, 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 ... pedantic.
@@sign-language yea sorry for not making it more clear 😅
Oh hey, if I can dish it out -- I can eat my share.
Nom, nom, nom.
Thanks for learning ASL! Makes the world a better place.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
