As a deaf/HOH person I want to thank you for emphasizing how important the facial expressions are when signing. I may understand what a new signer is trying to say but it’s much easier with the correct facial expressions used.
Thank you for your videos. Im a nurse with my first deaf patient. I've binge watched for 2 days now and I can communicate with him. I work the COVID ward so even that video was useful
Thank you from Columbus Ohio! I started my ASL journey 3 weeks ago. I've watched all of your videos 2-3 times; they are awesome. I've scheduled the Wednesday Practice Session on my calendar for next week! I'll keep practicing for the upcoming practice session.
Dude I started learning sign because of corona virus. I'm glad I did it, now I can actually interact with the deaf community. Also a tip I picked up for all the other learners, watch videos where deaf people only use sign. It helps a lot.
I really appreciate these lessons. I started work at a warehouse and was surprised by the number of deaf people working there. I love all the people I work with and I have really wanted to get into their silent world a little.
Hi Chris, I love your videos! I started May 1 learning ASL. I spend about an hour a day watching videos and trying to learn 5 words a day. Your videos are so easy to follow! Thank you.
I love your videos! They are so easy to follow and the pace is great. I have always wanted to learn just because. I’ve met several people who are deaf in my life time and I (being a social butterfly) hated not being able to connect with them. Thanks to your videos I am gaining confidence with every one that I can at least hold a decent conversation. I’ve been teaching my kids with these videos too!
There has been a lot of ups and downs during this time but I have personally experienced a lot of personal growth and I’m happy and grateful to be in the position I am in. Knowing there is always someone in a harder circumstance.
oh no! you spoiled us with the quick review on the comments but this one does not have it!! i love that option as when we are reviewing for the second time is easier to practice clicking in the sign we want to review!!! This was very help full, thank you. For feelings/ emotions, I would like to learn angry/upset, annoyed, surprised, disappointing, anxious, hopeful, grief (oops may be ideas for part 2 of this video!!)
The time stamps unfortunately take quite a long time to do, but I do still include them on a few of the videos. Thanks for the feedback. It's great that you are reviewing the videos to reinforce what you're learning. Keep up the great work! (I'll add those words to my list of to do videos)
Hi Chris, I'm fairly new to ASL I've been learning it on my own for about two months off and on from watching your videos. The hardest part for me is the receptive part of it. It's very difficult to read what others are signing because they sign fast. Whats a good way to learn how to read sign language? Thank you
I'm glad that you are taking it upon yourself to learn sign language, that's great! In regard to reading others signing, the biggest thing is exposure, so try to expose yourself to as much sign language as possible, watching videos, lessons, vlogs, etc. Second, be patient with yourself, it will take time and it may seem like progress is slow, but be persistent and stick to it and you'll get more and more comfortable with the language. In the meantime, if it is a video, feel free to back it up or slow it down. If it's in person, simply ask the person the either slow down or sign what you didn't understand again
The covid hasn't affeced me much or my job im still working same o same o nothing changed , except more work and same pay..shmk😕. I keep my hands clean. # 1 trasmition of any virus picking it up on surfaces and sharing/spreading what's on your hands.
Thank you for these great classes. i have a question, I am sure that you have heard about LSQ sign language in Quebec Canada. is it very different from ASL? I mean, can a ASL signer understand a LSQ signer and vice versa ?
That's a great question! One of my students is from Canada and shared with me this video which does a really good job of explaining the various sign languages used in Canada ruclips.net/video/TEpXugRwgYI/видео.html From what I hear, they share a lot of similarities, however I don't have much experience with it myself.
Would you say "I am feeling sacred" or would you say " feeling sacred I" because I have seen other youtube videos that put it in a diffrent word order. Thanks!
Hi! So I saw a few other videos of other ASL and I saw them sign nervous differently. I saw it sign with your hands out, palm down and shaking your dominant hand like you’d shake “So-so”. Is that incorrect or just another way to sign nervous?
Great question, just another variation, although with a slightly more nuanced meaning. It's like you are shaking with nervousness. You can actually see three different variations shown on Signing Savvy, the one you described is the first one while the one I showed is the third
Usually, countries have a local sign language that is used by Deaf ones from the region (ie. German Sign Language, French Sign Language, etc) however, with that said, ASL is also widely used around the globe as well. In some areas, like Dubai, there are several sign languages used in the community at the same time (Pakistan, India, Arabic, ASL, and others)
Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) is the native sign language recognised and accepted by the Deaf community in Singapore. SgSL comprises a combination of Shanghainese Sign Language (SSL), American Sign Language (ASL), Signing Exact English (SEE) and locally developed signs. You should have no problem if you sign with ASL.
This is an interpreting question. Do you need to know how to simcom to be an amazing ASL interpreter because I can't sign in ASL and speak in English at the same time.
@@tessaw8644 Interpreting is a tricky subject because you'll be interpreting for a very wide array of people with different signing styles and preferences, but yes, I wouldn't worry too much about simcom when you are just getting started
@@ChrisGorges Okay, thanks. I worry that I just won't be able to do simcom and I really want to do ASL interpreting. It's a passion of mine, same for the language of ASL.
You talk forever, 2 mins before a single sign. Very over explained. Also there's hundreds of beginner signing videos, cant find any intermediate. At least sign while u promote yourself so we can pick up on whatever we dont already know

Review signs for connection and relationship

he needs more subs i learn so easily from his videos and remember his tips and practice everyday after school with his videos!
That's great, I'm glad youre getting a lot out of the videos
Same here!
@@Whit0087 👍
What other emotions or feelings would you like to learn how to sign?
Freemason sign language?? Or Illuminati type sign language? I see it everywhere on RUclips and cant decipher
Is there verb tense in sign ASL? For example, instead of staying im scared, if I said, " that time, I was sacred " ???? Thank you.
Anxiety/ Anxious
Thank you for your videos. Im a nurse with my first deaf patient. I've binge watched for 2 days now and I can communicate with him. I work the COVID ward so even that video was useful
Wow, that is amazing!
That’s a beautiful thing!

Yep. Feeling isolated is an understatement. Thanks for another great video. 👍

You can ask us to sign slower. Most of us won’t give you an attitude . I’m always appreciative when people are trying to sign/ communicate with me. ❤️
This is good to know because I am taking sign language this year!
That's awesome!
@@ChrisGorges Your channel is awesome!! Its really fun learning sign language to be honest
thank u
You're welcome 🙂
Thanks

Hi. Thanks for your ASL lessons
Welcome 🙂
Txs sir. Very easy to follow.i feel I could learn quickly .
Thats great, keep it up 😃
How have you been feeling during the coronavirus outbreak?
I would love to use some of the free lessons
I am interested to take the free ASL practice session. I understand if, it is on hold next year.
We are still holding weekly practice sessions, you can learn more about them here aslbasics.com/asl-group-practice-sessions/
The sign for "bored" reminds me of kids that pick their nose because they're "bored"
Lol, yeah 😂

Great videos. Are you able to post material on sentence structure?
Thanks, here are a couple videos where I touch on grammar ruclips.net/video/ghQr2hzdx8k/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/qa9qSPsj840/видео.html
Very interesting! I would think that I'm more anxious. Would that be the same sign as nervous?
Depending on contextual meaning, sometimes yes, however, anxiety does have it's own sign as well
Thank you for these great classes. i have a question, I am sure that you have heard about LSQ sign language in Quebec Canada. is it very different from ASL? I mean, can a ASL signer understand a LSQ signer and vice versa ?

Excuse me is there a sign for “weird“?🤔 i’m learning isl by videos but i can’t find it
There are two versions for weird. Feel free to DM me on Instagram and I'll send you a couple examples
Would you say "I am feeling sacred" or would you say " feeling sacred I" because I have seen other youtube videos that put it in a diffrent word order. Thanks!
Either way is fine, although most people will typically sign "I feel scared" even though it is a little more "English". Keep up the great work
sir, can you please make video on such topic .
how to convert singular thing into plural one in sign language
thanks
Sure, I'll add it to the list :)

I will like to have one and one coach to help me vertual
Can ASL used in singapore? Is there any difference at different country?

Great question, it really depends on the client or student and what the situation is, but typically you wouldn't simcom
@@ChrisGorges Very good to know! So you don't have to know how to simcom to be a great interpreter? It's just an extra thing to be able to do?
@@tessaw8644 Interpreting is a tricky subject because you'll be interpreting for a very wide array of people with different signing styles and preferences, but yes, I wouldn't worry too much about simcom when you are just getting started
@@ChrisGorges Okay, thanks. I worry that I just won't be able to do simcom and I really want to do ASL interpreting. It's a passion of mine, same for the language of ASL.
@@tessaw8644 Dont worry, it all comes in time
I'm getting nervous confused with cold
Don't worry, you'll get it! Just think of shivering in the cold, hands close to the heart to stay warm
i,m learn how to do sign language
That's great
You talk forever, 2 mins before a single sign. Very over explained. Also there's hundreds of beginner signing videos, cant find any intermediate. At least sign while u promote yourself so we can pick up on whatever we dont already know
