Ever "Hear" of the term... 'its never too late?" well, I am 54 and I am NOW learning ASL. Mainly because my daughter is studying it 4yrs now and I am so interested in learning so I can communicate with her as well as locals. Because of your Videos Dr. Bill I am able to enjoy learning, and practicing. My daughter is very good at ASL but not good at teaching me. hahaha. I do hope to purchase some from your lifeprint site to help you during these trying times. I may even buy the 4 semesters instruction! I will check it out now. Thank you for what you do! Do not stop. You are by far the most interesting teacher as well as funniest ! I love watching you teach. Thank YOU. Stay well.
Yay, it's Katelyn! 🖐️ 🖐️ I mean, all of the students have been great, but she just seems like such a genuinely good person; from what we see in the videos anyway. ☺
I'll tell ya, when I came across this previously unpublished video in my archives it was like running into an old friend. (Due to the pandemic I've been going through old hard drives and seeing what gems I could dig up).
I've watched and re-watched so many of the Katelyn and Sarah ones over the last couple years as a beginner, it always makes me smile when they pop back up! Thank you for continuing to upload when I'm sure the pandemic threw a huge wrench into your semester!
Hi! I've been following you off and on for a few years now! I am not fluent in ASL I am self-taught I'm thinking about going to school for it. I love the way how you actually show how to do the signs multiple times over. I don't have the speed of the video slowed down at all and I can still understand some signs that I'm not familiar with. Thank you so much you don't know how appreciative we are to have such a fortunate professor of your caliber to be teaching on RUclips.
I am so grateful to you @billvicars. My neighbor is deaf and I realized I couldn't properly greet them or connect with them when I passed them recently on a walk. Your videos are helping me to get started to communicate better with this family and are a huge comfort in a stressful time. You are so good humored and thoughtful in your teaching...it's the highlight of my day to learn with you and have a product, peaceful and connective thing to partake in every day. *Thank you*

Hi Dr. Bill - not sure if you are still monitoring, but super appreciate these videos and loving learning from your channel! Can I ask a quick question? How would you sign 'lost' as in "I am lost in the woods". Also - is there a sign for "I am training for a triathlon" or is it the same sign as practice? Much thanks!
I prefer this method: ruclips.net/video/HTCpKYCGS-M/видео.html But you will also see people do it this way: ruclips.net/video/SMifZWJv3ws/видео.html Also see: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/l/lost.htm If telling a story about being lost in the woods you might see someone use a "Classifier-1" hand to represent someone wandering aimlessly in the woods (with an accompanying confused / lost facial expression).
To sign "training" just establish context and then use the sign "practice" to mean training. Some people might use a "T" hand for the dominant hand when signing "practice" to turn it into "training" but I recommend just relying on context without initializing the sign. See: ruclips.net/video/-Jp--G6K7wA/видео.html
Dr Bill Vicars, you've been a wonderful teacher of ASL but you could be of even greater help if you could arrange your lessons in orderly manner. For example, your Lesson 5 is followed by Lesson 16 and then comes Lesson 19. Can you? I will pray for your long life and prosperity.

Thank you. Katelyn is funny. Sho she has been learning for 6 years? Or the "3 years" videos were taken around the same time as the "8-9 years"? I'm almost to lesson 20 now.
Er...well...actually that is an "old" video rescued from my archives from quite a few years back. So the reverse is the case: I've gained "a lot of weight." Thus, in effect, you have pointed out that I'm fat. Fetch. Time to diet.
@@sign-language I'm sorry. I had no intention of saying you're fat! I don't call anyone that because I'm not thin! But I love your videos! Thank you for them and for your humor!
Heh, just messing with you Jen. Having a few extra pounds is a positive feature as we enter the upcoming pandemic-caused famine, apocalypse, and dystopian future. Yesiree all those thin folks are going to be wishing they had the foresight to pack on a few pounds. . . . ____________________________ Um...joking aside, I hope you and everyone reading this remain well and safe.

I agree, it's funny how it feels like we get to know them over time too! All the regulars have seemed like such genuine, sweet people.

Also a fan of Katelyn. I was actually thinking how i like her in these vids.
@@sign-language did Katelyn and Sarah pass your class? why did the people you are with change after lesson 30?
Hi! I've been following you off and on for a few years now! I am not fluent in ASL I am self-taught I'm thinking about going to school for it.

17:25 I love how you're so perfectly able to convey having to crawl into the house through a window after being locked out.

What does it mean when he pinches his index finger and thumb together next to his temple? He does it right after fingerspelling kettlebell
He's asking, "Understand?"
You want to build house? and you want to build person? they are very similar but very different questions.

23:32 what is the jaw 'wipe' when saying she rides fine?
That is the sign for "experience." I signed it with a bit of emphasis meaning she has a lot of experience.
Thank you. Katelyn is funny. Sho she has been learning for 6 years? Or the "3 years" videos were taken around the same time as the "8-9 years"? I'm almost to lesson 20 now.
Mashallah ASL ❤
