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 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. :)
When I was learning off your website, I got so upset that it said that you had to pay for the rest of the lessons. Now I am happy that I can learn from youtube, and still learn from you! Also I'm glad I didn't ditch sign language and went with french. I would have missed out on a lot
Hi Bill! Thank you! I really appreciate the no-cost, high-quality ASL lessons on youtube and on your website. Say, in case you're interested, it appears to me that Lesson #27 on youtube is missing most of Practice 27.C and all of Practice 27.D, including practice for sentences #12-20 of lesson 27. Thanks again for helping so many people learn ASL and about the Deaf/hh community.
Cynthia, Thanks for the heads up. As a result of your comment I went ahead and recorded the second part of Lesson 27 and have posted it here: ruclips.net/video/MEaYkcPywrQ/видео.html
Dr . Bill I have enjoyed trying to learn ASL it seems to me I reach a certain level then my learning seems to come to a halt...I have no one to sign with ... just thought it would be nice to know anyway .. I decided you well deserve a donation from me.. so I stepped up to the plate and donated. And I truly hope all who are watching and learning also donate you more than deserve it.. You are enjoyable and keep things moving along .I often return here to see what I have for got I forgot the SIGN for bathroom a very important sign if you need one...anyway thanks again..
These days I tend to spell it or do the downward claw double jabbed onto the non-dominant hand palm -- but yah, still a lot of variety out there on "cake." I'm always interested in learning regional variations though so feel free to describe any versions you have seen that you think I'd find interesting or might benefit future students.
@@sign-language The one my baker friend who's deaf uses is the one I see on "Baby Sign" that looks like claw hand on palm going up. Also seen the "pie" version with the initialized version with C-hand with the thumb dragging on the palm or on the back of the hand. For "cupcake" will just sign cup and cake "muffin" (claw hand over palm).
I didn't specify any particular type of food other than the bread and butter. I used a classifier to depict a plate (ostensibly with food on it) and then showed the process of eating the food along with the bread and butter and mentioned that it made me fat (back then). Sure, we occasionally had spaghetti but in that particular clip (from 3:12 to 3:30 it could have been a wide number of different types of food.
I've seen SB used to abbreviate "son of a bitch" given that sign drops the "of" and "a". I've never seen it used to abbreviate "strawberry" and I'm guessing it probably shouldn't given that it already has enough signs.
That is a very good observation! Thanks for commenting on that. I need to add a discussion about that concept (SB) to my website. Particularly the version that uses a throwing-type motion changing the S to the B in the direction of the person at whom you are swearing. -- Such a great vocabulary item that doesn't come up much in "polite" conversation at the college but sure does come up at Deaf sporting events!!! Again, thanks!

Hello Stephen!
I sincerely appreciate your support!

There's like 5 different versions of cake and yet I never seen these versions he presented.
Always learning...

Bill, what did your parents feed you for dinner at 3:14? Was it spaghetti with bread and butter?
I didn't specify any particular type of food other than the bread and butter. I used a classifier to depict a plate (ostensibly with food on it) and then showed the process of eating the food along with the bread and butter and mentioned that it made me fat (back then).

@@sign-language Thank you!
I would love to know what he said about salt after the video cut out.
Wonderful .
Did the camera stop before finishing Practice Sheet 27.C?
Ya feel like this video gets cut short. But thanks Dr. Bill for everything! These videos are amazing. On to the next I guess :)

Hmmmm, what kind of cake did the person like? I didn't quite get what you finger spelled
confetti cake.
