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 small monthly 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 For more donation options, see: Lifeprint.com/donate Thanks! - Dr. Bill
Dr. Bill please know you are appreciated. Your lessons your dedication and your commitment. I tell EVERYONE about this service and sacrifice and ask them to donate to your curriculum. This is literally like goin to a university for free. THANK YOU FROM A SMALL TOWN IN NC.
Fun fact: I was learning from Bill Vicars in the summer and it turned out (I didn't even know) that deaf students went to my school. I would watch these videos for hours and have a little notebook to say all of the words I learned. After a while I became fluent enough to learn as I went along. And then when I went to asl club, my teacher (who's deaf) used the bill Vicars papers and many little gifs from Bill Vicars. I recognized them immediately and it was a cool full circle moment

Build-on, so nice~ Oh, once I saw an exercise, random choose fast, format: "two-digit-Number Noun Pronoun Verb", repeat different. 57 tacos he eat. 23 cats I have. 84 city they go, etc. My signing improve, now communicate can, also new class in two weeks, excited sooooo-much~
When learning about the kitchen signs I noticed you have high context version and low context version. Could go into more detail on explaining the difference?
If there is a lot of context, foreknowledge, or environmental cues -- ASL can become more efficient and use versions of signs that rely less on English initials. However if there is not much context it becomes harder to decipher some signs and thus we find ourselves switching to versions of signs that include more information. For example, t he sign for SHOW in context can be interpreted as "example." Out of context though you can't make that decision. However if you use an "E" handshape instead of an index finger handshape in the sign "EXAMPLE" it becomes obvious that you mean the concept of "example." Some Deaf are really into de-initialization of their signing -- but it often only works in high context situations. For example you can sign COLD and in context it can mean "winter" but out of context you can't say with certainty that it means winter. So out of context (or a low context situation) you could do the sign with "W" handshapes and there would be no question that you are referring to "winter." Skilled ASL interpreters need to know both versions of signs because they may see either.
Dr. Vicars… the zoom lessons you did with Ceasar… were those private lessons? And if so how do I apply for lessons with you ;)😊? I know someone who came for your immersion weekend and says it was great! I’ve been taking lessons with the wonderful Tammy Carpenter (my other hero!), but she’s taking a break right now. I have a local Deaf teacher as well but if you ever offer any lessons over zoom I’d love to learn directly from the Sign Language King!
Hello, I'm fairly set for now as far as one-on-one video work (and have an existing queue of individuals ahead of you who have requested one-on-one opportunities). I also have specific project tasks (as far as curriculum development) that I'm working on for the foreseeable future. At some point I might develop an actual application process for individuals to apply to be an at-a-distance student-assistant. If so I'll advertise it via the online group at: facebook.com/groups/Lifeprint.ASLU/
@@sign-language thanks Dr. Vicars for the reply. I should have been more clear that don’t actually want to be in the videos but I do but the one on one 😆. I was pretty sure you had quite enough obligations that you wouldn’t offer other lessons but I thought I’d try thanks. The Signing Room apparently has higher levels for lessons so I will check there for now and of course continue to work with my local teacher. Thanks a bunch for all of your work!!!

Letting you know I've seen your message. Thanks for the nice feedback! I appreciate it!
She is shy but doing great. Also, her facial expressions along with her signing is getting better. Love her eagerness!!
I love Dr. Bill, and I love this girl! ADORABLE. Both so fun to watch. -Erin
