    Your video's have helped my wife and I so much! I am hard hearing and losing a little bit more hearing every year and even with hearing aids we get into areas that they do not help. Some small amount of ASL has helped us bridge those gaps and build a stronger relationship. Besides, ASL is a beautiful form of communication!

    I have 2 new co-workers who are deaf. I am really slow at texting and don't like to pull my phone out every time I want to talk to them. Learning a little bit of sign has really helped and they seem to appreciate that I'm trying to communicate using their language.

    are you able to put CC on the video's? It would be extremely helpful for the deaf community to know what you are saying, as some of them are learning themselves because of lack of education martial.

Ive watch your video series religiously every night for an hour and am finding your lessons so simple and fun to follow! Just finished and mastered the 150 essential, now on to this series! I'm inspired to go beyond the basics and really dive into the language. Thanks for these videos :D

    Your videos have helped me soooo much to use signing as my eardrums were cut to drain fluid from cancer treatments that have left me very hard of hearing, and now try to get store clerks to learn so they can communicate with us in public. The deaf community have been shunned by society because of lazyness to learn signing. It should be a class in schools as mandatory.

    I love this. I occasionally visit my friend's church where she is their ASL interpreter for the small deaf ministry. I would LOVE to be able to talk to one of the sweet older ladies there. I know my alphabet and some words, but not enough to have a conversation. I would imagine it is so frustrating for a deaf person when a hearing person tries to sign and isn't competent. This is a good video for me to work on, especially words like "confused" or phrases like "please sign slowly" would help me so much
