Jessica Flores i live in France, is there any difference between ASL and FSL ?
And if you're capable of binge watching a Netflix show, you're more than capable of watching one Bill Vicars video per week! Also, for those who are interested, I have a section towards the bottom of my channel of Deaf RUclipsrs, over 50 of them!
And that's not even close to all of them... Someone emailed me their list they'd made and oh good lord so many.
YESSSS!!! I am putting that video in the description box!
Rogan Shannon You don't even need to watch all at once you have 5 minutes you can watch part of it. At the doctors, time to watch.
Bill is a godsend
So many people are amazed when they find out that I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to ASL. Everyone always wonders how I did it...I just got online and started learning! My cousin is Deaf, so I started learning for her and I completely fell in love with the language and the culture! 7 years later I'm still learning more every day!
I was homeschooled and took sign language for my foreign language, I absolutely love it
I'm lucky enough to live within about an hour's drive of Gallaudet and I started ASL 1 in January. It's an evening class so my husband comes home early from work one day a week to be with the kids so I can go to class and I drive the kids 40 minutes to my parent's house one day a week so they can keep the kids while I'm at class and my husband works late to make up for the early day and then I collect sleeping children from my parent's house after class to take them home to bed. It's a lot of hoops to jump through but it's worth it. My hearing loss is progressive, I *need* to learn ASL. (Class is great and I've been getting dinner on campus so I have to order in sign and gesture or writing..it's only been a few weeks and I'm definitely getting better at it!)
That is so awesome!! I am happy for you! You have an awesome family. Teamwork makes the dream work :) Keep me updated on your progress!
I love this!!!! Taking ASL 3 at my university right now and I fingerspell EVERYTHING all the time everywhere. I love it, and it helps so much. Hoping to be an interpreter someday! thanks for encouraging people to take the steps to learn ASL, it truly is an amazing language!
I didn't know there were free online classes and videos. Yes!!!! This is perfect and so helpful.
I love watching your videos. I went to my first sign and dine tonight; after getting over my nerves of being new signer I really had a great time. Get out there people it is the best way to learn.
I started weekly ASL lessons in November of last year, so I can talk to a deaf friend of mine. I'm really loving it and I can't wait until I carry on a long conversation with her! Thank you for these tips, I'm sure they will help.
I'm 70 years old. Does that mean I'm too old to learn something new? No way!! I'm determined!
I have plenty of time too.
I have a few favorite RUclips channels for lessons. Yours is one of them.
I watch 2 a DAY. The best time is morning and before bed. It sticks in my brain while I sleep!!
Oh! I have a black cat too. I sign to her. Especially the words, NO and STOP. LOL
I recently started watching Rochelle Barlow's videos on how to learn ASL called Learn ASL in 31 Days :) She even has a website with lessons, and more tips and tricks to remember certain signs. It's really been helpful to expand my vocabulary and even put sentences in the correct grammar structure for ASL. I'd suggest using hers, but also supplement with other sources of learning the language!!
I'm just about to start my second ASL class and I love it! We found a Deaf tutor to help us practice a couple of times a month and I've been watching the Lifeprint (Bill Vicars) videos as well.. they are so helpful!
I busted out laughing at the “I’m gonna end up cutting off my finger” part. When you first cut the BS I was thinking “this is the perfect set up for a cut my finger gag.” Then when you did it I busted out laughing. Made my night lol
Bill Vicars is my favorite teacher too! I absolutely love this video and I will be sure to share with my family & friends who have all #123 excuses 😂
Even though I'm not hard of hearing or deaf I am trying to lean ASL. Watching your videos are a blast, I can't get enough of them.
I finger spell everything I see when running, walking, sitting at long stop lights. Be it street signs, building signs, car make and models, I even describe things when I learned some colors.
I started learning sign language when I was 6 by myself i am now in high school I am really GOOD at it and I love it .I am really glad I started learning because I am now hard of hearing so I am glad.😀😀
I was watching a video at facebook about you and come to support your work
Getting started next Monday, signed the Wife and I up for ASL class. Two of our friends are taking the class also. I have been a subscriber for while. Love your videos, so helpful.
I just stumbled upon your videos. I love you already! I've been teaching myself asl for about 2 years now. Beautiful language, and I look forward to watching more of your content and progressing more. :)
My daughters and I love watching you.
Melissa White glad you guys like the videos ❤️😊
Thank you so much for making me laugh and getting me excited about learning ASL!!!
I just started ASL classes over Zoom a few weeks ago, and it is by far the coolest language I've ever tried to learn.
Just stopped in for the cute cat! LOL. Awesome to the point video and great links. 👊
I found her like 10 min ago and I LOVE HER OMGMGMGMMG. I started learning asl with my sister a week ago and now I know what else to learn ugh !! Thank you my queen !!!💖💖
Hey Jessica, I LOVE your videos :) You are so "real" and natural, fun & funny. I teach ASL at the college level and am going to introduce your videos to my classes tomorrow.
Hey , these tips are AMAZING I have only been learning for a couple of months on and off , but when I read books I sign my way through it and have been trying to integrate it into my everyday life. Thanks lots!!
Wow..came from asl anissa and I'm glad she recommended you in one of her youtube videos...I really enjoy your funny content😂🙌
Hahahah I'd love xD I'm deaf from Venezuela - South America. Your all video is AMAZING! (I love reading subtitles in english)
Love your vids, Jessica!
Jessica this is awesome! I’m a writer and I’m hearing. One of my characters is deaf and I’m really trying to learn as much as I can.
Needed this!!!
Ask Jeeves 😂 Thank you for the tips!! I can't wait to start 😊
I absolutely love your videos.
I'm currently taking two ASL 1 Courses simultaneously to see how it's taught differently. This is after I learned the alphabet and watched Bill Vicers (Great suggestion by the way, great minds think alike) We have a deaf couple in our church and a sign language interpreter each service. I have a plan in place to hopefully, if all goes well, to become a sign language interpreter in 4-6 years. Fingers crossed. Love your videos, keep them coming!
You're my favorite youtuber 😂 you're the funniest
Loooooove this! Perfect timing. I know the alphabet, but spelling everything around me is brilliant. I've been watching various videos and practicing words. Your approach is exactly how I learned German. Don't know why I didn't think to apply it here. It's the last part that scares the crap out of me. I get super embarrassed, plus I'm pretty agoraphobic, but I'm working on it. One step at a time, right? Thanks for the tips and encouragement! I always look forward to your videos. 🤗
Thanks for providing some tips :D
I love Bill Vicars!! I need to pick back up with his vids.
Omg I love your videos, just subscribed on my third account. Love you so much, I wanna meet you so badly you’re just such an awesome person
Your cat looks like my cat!
Also, I started learning ASL in college as my foreign language. I have the ABC's and numbers down, but I have forgotten a lot of signs and the grammar always eluded me. I'm going to take your suggestion of watching videos and looking for Deaf Meet-Ups or events and practice, practice practice.
Ashley Clarke Fry's vocabulary lessons are really good for those with no appreciable attention span.
I love her stuff!!
Ask Jeeves!!! I haven't heard or seen that in a LONG time! Wow. Google really had taken over! Anyway, other than that, great video!
I'm learning ASL and it is challenging but loving every moment
I’m currently working toward my AA in Deaf Studies. I too watch Bill Vicars. He’s awesome!
Don’t just learn ASL, Learn also about the Deaf community.
PS: Jessica, I have an all black cat too. So cute.
I love this! I found your channel through Rikki's videos. I been what I like to say as "1/2 deaf" (I really dont like the term HOH. People in my community just take it has you are choosing not to listen to them) Im deaf in my right ear but have hearing in my left ear but it also has mild to moderate hearing loss.
I decided a while back that I'm tired of the hearing community... not being able to understand them. I was mainstreamed. I'm 25 and I'm trying to find my deaf community now. I wish I had realized that this is what I wanted a need a long time ago.
It's never too late! :)
I do love your videos. I’ve been trying to learn asl for a while now I can follow when someone signs. But still having a hard time doing asl myself lol my hands don’t alway work well
Hi Jessica
I would love for you to do a video about how your remember some basic signs like you did with the ABC's.
My goal this summer is to learn the asl alphabet and teach it my children as well. I'm very excited to learn it. This video was awesome to watch!!
YAYYY!!!!!!
@@JessicaFloresLimeMoney I've actually ended up learning more than the alphabet this summer and found buddies to practice with. Along with reconnect with a childhood friend, who is deaf. I've really enjoyed learning about the culture and learning some signs. I can carry on simple convos now. You're videos have really been helping a lot. Thank you so much :)
I'm hard of hearing and I've been watching Bill Vicars the past couple of months. He's so funny. I love your cat. I used to have a black cat, he was so sweet.
First n hello Jessica love your viedos
i am going to minor in asl in college! i love it
I've been learning ASL since 2012. Teaching myself through the internet.
Thank you! I was learning it at my old school but I had to move and this school doesn't have it!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Hope you find some online videos!
I am learning American Sign Language at college!!!
Cool!
I have been using the app, Memrise. Memrise has numerous languages and ASL happening to be a language that there is 4 courses of varying difficulty. I think it's a total of 700 words. I try to practice and learn a few times thru out the day in short bursts and then review it again in the evening. The most difficult part for me is sentence structure. But as I practice my brain is slowly adapting to create simple sentences right now, correctly. I need to find a meet up because I have no one to converse with and get feedback from. And to also learn any parts of the language that may be specific to my region. Anyway, I love your videos! Keep putting out great content!!
Thank you for this! I am going to check the app out :)
Will you remind me? Is meetup an app?
Good job. Be sure that we remind anyone who learn ASL that requires facial expressions, mouth morphs and body movements (60 to 70%). ASL only comes from English (30%). SEE (Sign Exact English) is only Sign Language u can sign in st
Full English :)
YESS!!! It's like 10000x harder to understand someone who signs without facial expressions and body movements! Thanks for pointing this out!
I love Bill vicars 💖💞💕😊☺😀
I like your cat. I have one same as yours 15 years old female named Blackie
I’m leaving ASL!! I’m severe to profound in one ear and moderate to severe in the other ear. I have hearing aids now which are wonderful but I’m still struggling with a lot of noise or certain words, tones. It’s frustrating as u know. So I’m feeling like this would definitely help me out!!! ❤❤cute 🐈⬛
Question,
How can you help with severe tinnitus at night?
Bill Vicars is awesome!! And so are you! Still trying to find that book tho 😖 fail lol
No worries Caitie! :)
I know some signs & the alphabet. My issue is when those who are fluent in ASL finger spell names or other words. Because they go so fast finger spelling, I can’t keep & don’t know what the name or word is. I would also recommend watching Signed with Heart. She’s the only deaf person in a hearing family & is fluent in ASL. All her RUclips videos are captioned.
Awesome video, as usual 😊😊 I’m gotten to the point that I have to get really serious. I have a question, I thought I remember you saying that you’re dyslexic, I’m dyslexic too, any tips or tricks that helped you? Thank you ! I really hope that I didn’t get you mixed up with someone else. I’m really sorry if I did.
I am! I don't really have any tips or that yet! I want to make a video about it one day though :)
Jessica Flores thank you
Quick question... When I start practicing vocab I learned while I speak, I follow more exact English rather than ASL sentence structure. What would you recommend for grammar practice?
How do u edit when u can’t hear urself talk?? Btw love u
I been lazy and making excuses. Like I am broke. I suck at comprehension. I was like hell with it I am going to take asl 2 this semester, last week. And the next two days is my monthly asl meet up weekend. I need to find 2 more. Also you need more signing in your videos. How are you ever going to get that practice in. Miss Flores.
Also sign as much as you can, whenever you can. I sign to myself constantly. Like talking to yourself but you look crazier.
I am always signing to myself! Fun fact of the day: I sign in the video because I am practicing and making the words stick. I have only been learning ASL for 2 years so one day I will sign as fast as I speak :)
Funny thing is I learned the alphabet as a kid, looonnngg ago, and I am terrible at spelling...lol
Hey Jessica, when you mentioned others correcting a sign or grammar mistake, it made me realize that some (OK everyone who has never been exposed to ASL) may not realize that ASL has it's own grammar. I think when people see and hear someone like you talk and sign, they just think ASL is Signed English. What do you think about doing a video on this subject??
YESSS I want to cover this for sure! Thanks for bringing this up :)
Jessica Flores Don't forget to mention how ASL had no written language. This is why deaf children who grew up 'speaking' ASL have such problems with English in school. Hopefully educators are more knowledgeable now, but when I was young...(many many moons ago) many deaf students were thought to be stupid or have learning disabilities because they attempt to write ASL and the grammar is so different.
What do I do when I can’t find any deaf meet ups in my area.
You remind me of Liza Koshy. She's amazing. You also are amazing
Hi, I just started learning. My grandbaby is deaf. I want to be able to teach her
Do it!! 😊
I like PSE

Hi Jessica, I do want to learn sign language and right now my hearing is not the best. ( I went deaf, with no sound at all,for a month in 8th grade. Luckily it came back a little, though I do miss lots in the hearing world) do you have any tips for helping a whole family learn ASL together?
Hi!
So when it comes to family that is hard because some family members are open to learning and others are not. My family didn't really start learning until I started making these videos. They never knew lip reading was really hard until I shared my video on lipreading with them.
Sharing your experiences with them and advocating for yourself will help put them in your shoes. If you are having trouble figuring out what to say, you can show them a video of someone you can relate to. personally, I made my videos so other deaf/hoh people can share them with co-workers, family members, friends, so they can start to understand what we are going through.
Another thing that helps get people interested in learning ASL is by just start signing around them yourself. You can speak and sign some words at the same time like I do, whatever makes you comfortable. But when people see you sign they slowly become curious.
Hope some of this helps! Feel free to keep me updated! :)
Jess
Jessica Flores thank you for replying. I think I will definitely try signing while talking to them to hopefully get them interested. :)
Jessica Flores, this is my 1st video of yours to watch. I don’t know if this has already been addressed. Are you deaf or hard of hearing? Do you consider yourself to be part of the deaf or hearing community?

Thank you!!!!
I have been signing for a few years, and I find myself getting very insecure about my signing. I can carry on a conversation with my teacher, but I feel like I am not fluent enough to converse with deaf or hard of hearing people. Do you have any advice for hearing people learning to sign? I feel like I am close to fluency, but I lose all my confidence when I am out of the classroom. I am not a quiet person, but I feel like I lose my voice when I try to sign out of my comfort zone. How can I get past this block?
It just takes practice! But this is easier said than done! I talk a lot faster than I can actually sign. Personally, I still find myself forgetting how to sign things when I actually am signing with people. But you have to keep in mind that those who sign fast are fluent or have been doing it for years. You and I only have a few years while others have years of experience. So with time, we'll get better as long as we keep practicing :)
Thank you!
Una pequeña acotación: Te refieres al lenguaje de señas de TODA AMERICA ó a NORTEAMERICA?
Norte America!
Idk why,,, but she reminds me of Dory from finding Nemo xD
Has anyone watched "The Shape of Water?" If so what form of sign language is she using? I thought maybe asl but then she would use a sign for a word that was different than what I learned and my brain was like "wait, what?" LoL.
Cokey I watched the trailer and it looks like ASL
Caitlin B LoL I probably just got some signs mixed up, thanks :)
I haven't seen it yet but the trailer looks like ASL but not like legit ASL because the actress just started learning it. Also, there is regional signs so signs can be different depending on where you live in the USA.
Jessica Flores ah okay thank you.
Is there deaf 🧏♂️ apps where people can chat?
Anyone have good AUSLAN (Australian sign language) content? i cant seem to find much
Tamazing T try British Sign Language. They are almost both similarly
Australian Sign Language is the sign language used in Australia and is related to British Sign Language (BSL) and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL). These three signed languages descended from the same parent language and are part of the BANZSL language family.
Here is the link as mentioned
www.startasl.com/auslan_html
you should add ASL Anissa she makes ASL covers on youtube!
Like omgsh sooooooooo yh😂😂😂😂😂
How do you feel about people in the deaf community saying that ASL is a language reserved for the deaf community only and hearing people shouldn't learn it? I've been learning but in the deaf community I've had a lot of push back from deaf people. I want to learn so I can be inclusive and because in my area there are a lot of deaf and HOH people.
Nope and anyone Hearing Americans or foreigners can learn ASL smile. But I believe that the ASL teachers must be deaf to teach hearing students how to sign properly
Ignore that, Donald's right anyone can learn. I even have deaf people giving me a hard time about learning ASL. Don't let them stop you.
Does Jeeves sign the answer back to you?
You know, he only seems to sign one thing every time I try to sign with him :[ Maybe you and penny can teach him something?
Jessica Flores I have my own butler to train I don't have time to put jeeves on game . Sorry. Not sorry.
Daym it! I was really hoping to get him enrolled in "urban"... can you at least write him a letter of recommendation?
It would be best not to shake your head so much so that we can understand the lip reading. I get dizzy trying to keep up with his mouth. jajaja
Omg! Don't try lipreading that crazy woman she's too animated to be tamed. Just use the captions she made :D
-The crazy woman in the video
pfft, I can do the alphabet just fine I don't need your tips. watch me A, B, C, ... umm uhh.. whats the link to the video again? LOL
