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!”

How wonderful that Dr. Bill made these lessons public, and for free! 💕

I love how animated he is. I'm teaching my family as I learn and when they don't make the right facial expressions, there can be miscommunication....Especially when the only difference between the question form and statement form of a word/phrase, IS the furrowed brow.
Thank you Bill for your wonderful lessons. I've learned so much watching them. I've been watching them since I found out my son became deaf from meningitis at 7 months old. So about 6 months ago. These have been fundamental for me learning signs to help communicate with them . Just wanted to say thank you
I appreciate you sharing that information. It helps me to feel useful.
Thanks for all the new versions of "Chat" I didn't know. We generally used a different version of [converse with] for chat with C-hands instead of pointers. Love your lessons. They really help a lot.
For those of us that learn so much from Bill. How about a donation to help support this wonderful learning tool. You can also purchase his lessons from his website

Hello Dr. Bill how are you doing ? Your method of teaching is great , awesome. I am learning a lot even I started a few days ago. Plus your charisma is beautiful.
Sidnei Barboza i totally agree with you..
As always LOVE your videos !! I literally laugh out loud so often. Thank you Dr. Bill!
I just found your ASL thumb drive info - I plan to homeschool and am teaching my kids ASL for sure !
Thanks for taking the time to answer me. You are a great instructor. Keep up the good work
I am so excited that I am almost finished with ASL 1! I am leaving for a vacation next week, and there is a Deaf family where we are going. I'm looking forward to communicating with them, as I will have finished by then! Dr. Bill, your videos are so helpful. I am so grateful for you and your FREE instructional videos! I am still a teenager, so I can't really donate to you, but someday I will as a small thank-you for teaching me a whole new language! It has also been so much fun learning this; I never thought I would laugh so much in a class.
Naomi,
Letting you know I've seen your comment and I hope your vacation was wonderful and that you had the opportunity to make use of your developing signing skills.
Best wishes and warm regards!
I like the lessons.Thank you Dr. Bill
"Doctor earn more-than nurse, why?" Bill: "Because more doctors are male/men." I had to laugh XD Hilarious, fun, and informative course as always! Thanks!
Good lesson! Very necessary words!:)
Good lesson! Like wonderful

Sorry if that sounded harsh. Didn’t mean it to. I’ve loved learning this beautiful language here. Thank you!
It is a real concern, and I am sure that a LOT of people watching this video, since they are watching it to learn, have had at least a moment's thought like that.
You know you need to work on your coordination when you didn't quite catch a spelling and you turn the sound up on your computer........
I’m wondering if I’m the only one who has to pause, start, pause, start several times to figure out what is being spelled? The angle of looking directly at the left side of the hand means I can’t distinguish for example A from S or T. I wish there was another camera facing him and showing in a corner. Also, would love a slow motion button.
In later videos I tend to sit on the other side. A couple of thoughts though:
On Desktop computers RUclips generally provides the option to "slow down" a video via the configuration settings.
Also, in real life situations we Deaf often read fingerspelling from a variety of angles. It just takes practice and you'll get better over time. I've actually thought about doing a whole lesson of reading fingerspelling from behind.
I didn't realize I could slow down the speed. I needed that when you gave the story of fishing. Thanks!
I have had the same problem, so I slow down the speed sometimes.When signing with deaf people, I am not always right in front of them, so this is quite realistic to watch from different angles. For example, once I was seated at a table next to a deaf person and he was signing to me, so I had to look sideways.
I just consider it a trade off: when a D/HH is around me and my world, they have to get people who are chewing or talking to several people, or mumble their words... but that is part of learning to understand that language (spoken, vs ASL) I also think of my own listening to people who speak 'standard English', then they use some regional term, or otherwise say things in strange ways (Eye-talian, vs It-alian). We just go with it.
I used asl . Ok ✅ thanks.
Thanks for these great lessons, Dr. Bill! A quick question - what's the sign at 34:08? With the two F handshapes, one at the forehead and one at the chest?
Hello Gabriel,
The non-dominant hand near the chest is not important in this sign. It is just mirroring the dominant hand as a form of emphasis.
The important part here is the fact that the "F" handshape is forming a "zero" or a hole. That hole is in the head. Thus it creates an idiomatic concept of something missing in the head.
To be specific -- what is missing is a clue. Or in other words that sign means: "clueless."

@@sign-language Thanks for the explanation - and the quick reply!
At around the 13:00 mark, the sign ALL moves from your right to your left, while if one were fingerspelling A-L-L the letters, if they move at all, would go to your right. Are there any generalizations that can be made about movement in lexicalized signs?
That is a great question and would be fun to dig into.
In brief though I'll suggest that you take a look at:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/lexicalized_fingerspelling.htm
and www.lifeprint.com/asl101/fingerspelling/fingerspellinglexicalized.htm (the same article appears on both but there is a bit of different additional information.)

Hi Bill!
I was wondering what the best way to learn about deaf culture and history as well as getting more involved with the deaf community! i’m a beginner signer and i do not want to offend anyone either! What do you recommend?
Thank you so much,
Grace
The "best" way depends on many factors that vary from person to person and from location to location. If you are RICH you can hire a personal expert to tutor you privately and guide you into the Deaf Community. If not have plenty of money you can order a dozen books on Deaf Culture and History from Amazon and read them all. If you have less money you can go to the library and see what they have or ask your librarian about using inter-library loan to borrow books from other libraries.
You could to to wikipedia and look at the Deaf Culture section. You could to to Lifeprint.com (my website) and find the "Lifeprint Library" and look in the Deaf Culture listings. You can google "Deaf Events near me."
Bill Vicars
I am not rich ahaha! I will definitely be going to check out lifeprint and look in the Deaf Culture listings and maybe Amazon! I just found out In DE we have Delaware School of Deaf. I think i’m going to take classes there and get involved with the events they host! Thank you for all the suggestions, i really appreciate it :)
My way is to expose myself to D/HH people. Since I'm locked in (Covid-19), I am watching a TV Show on Freeform TV called 'Switched at Birth'. It has really opened my eyes to Deaf Culture. It helps that many of the characters are speaking, but also, they are learning ASL and about Deaf Culture. In the early seasons, the kids go to a Deaf School - and we get to see the hearing characters learn about a world that many never see.
I think it's been invaluable to me in 'getting it', but I won't really know if I got it until I am around more people who live in the culture of D/HH, and not just being a fringe bystander.
Just wondering, what would be the difference between asking about the strange cousin using or not using HIMSELF? Like, if someone just signed, COUSIN STRANGE, YOU HAVE? how would that change the meaning? I haven't yet wrapped my head around all the uses of YOUR/HIM/ETC-SELF.
The addition of the HIMSELF/HERSELF/THEMSELF sign to a sentence such as that helps avoid misinterpretations such as:
"It is strange that you have a cousin."
Remember though (as with any language) that the more context you have -- the fewer signs (or words) you can use.
higher context = fewer signs
lower context = more signs
@@sign-language Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! This makes perfect sense =)
17:20
What is the story he tells at about 6:02? I get that he went fishing and tried to eat something but.... what was the C hand that went beyond his right ear? He was with an -in-Law...... then there were the crossed U-hands (was that a lobster?)..... I want to know!!!
Apryl, There is a Facebook group I set up to answer such questions (so I can focus on curriculum development). To apply to join the group go to: facebook.com/groups/Lifeprint.ASLU/
However, you "must" read a few rules and answer two questions relatively soon after applying or the moderators will delete your application (because it is a highly moderated group to keep the quality high).
In brief though, the sign that went past my ear was "wolf down" (as in consume food quickly).
The crossed U hands sign is one of the (many) versions of "crab."
Another sign to look for in the story is "soft."
Can I know what it means when you sign a letter behind your non-dominant hand? Is it a grade?
When you bring the letter to your non-dominent hand? yes. You can think of it like gett the letter on a piece of paper
can i know,what is the L sign on the chest?
if you're talking about around 34:21 I believe it's Lazy...he spells it (but the angle's weird)
Aloyo he signed "lazy"
