In this video Sarah uses SimCom (Simultaneous Communication): A communication method where signing and speaking happen at the same time. Although the signing uses ASL signs, they are in English word order. This leads to an incomplete expression of both English and ASL. It is used because it is a great bridge between communicating with both hearing and Deaf. Although a student can learn signs from watching someone SimCom, it's not the best method to observe to learn ASL grammar.
