I know, I was laughing so so hard at the Deaf Challenge, you and Jenna are so much fun to watch and I have learned a lot from you both. Thank you so much for your videos.
A deaf friend of mine says that many deaf that can lip read, can only read 20% of what is said. Her daughter of course who is profoundly deaf can read 40% of what is read on the lips and that is amazing. She is a really good student and is just as smart as her hearing peers.
I’m so late to find you as I’m just learning and immersing myself into deaf culture and finding your channel. However, Jenna’s laugh makes me so happy. You both are so adorable!
Im loving your channel. My roommate is deaf and he is the most interesting person I have ever known. Im trying to lear ASL just so i can sit down with him and have a flawless chat and see how bright of a mind he has. Thanks a lot for your help.
I have a question that I hope you or your wife can answer. My daughter is having a baby this May. (It's a girl!) and I wanted to know how early should I try to teach the baby to sign? I bought a baby signing book and I'm getting ready to buy a whole kit from babysignlanguage.com, that's has flash card and DVDs, etc. so, is it ever too early to teach a baby to sign? Thanks for the time you and your wife take to post y'all's videos. I wish you guys lived in Tennessee, so we could hang out. You both seem like such nice people!
Becki Green Well we are not experts but agree that it is never too early to expose the baby to sign language. Obviously it will take a while for the baby to respond, but the earlier you start exposing her to sign language, the more natural it will be for her to pick it up. I would say that just exposing her, like signing in front of her is best until she starts responding back. Then as she becomes age appropriate you can actually start "formally" teaching her sign. Hope that makes sense. :) If we ever come to Tenn we will let you know!
I know i am late in this but i found you guys while searching through youtube and enjoyed watching you guys! I am hearinf impaired and i can hear well with my hearing aid and married to a hearing man. Its frustrating sometimes when i dont understand him but i make the best of it. Keep up the good work and have Jenna in your videos more often. I watch your beauty channel too. ~Mary
beadyarngal83 Haha I will try to do that... might have to bribe her. Thank you for watching. PS today on my beauty channel will have a video with Jenna! :)
love your guy.s video! I was exposed to ASL at a young age, due to my dad working with the deaf as a care taker/interpreter, so he taught me a lot of the foundation or basics of ASL. I am trying to become fluent, but unfortunetly I don't know anybody who is deaf... so I feel like it is taking me a lot longer to learn due to not using it daily. Do you have any advice on how to learn and "make is stick" without having someone there to sign to? Thanks Jill!
Yes, I would love to have it as part of a job. I am working on getting my degree in Psychology and thought since I already know a lot of signs that I should get better so that I can sign and help deaf people. I will have to look up and see about some deaf events in my area along with classes!
This was older video and I was using SIM COM. So meaning my signing style would be more English order. I use to talk on my videos and not voice-over. Long story, but things have changed.
I am terrible at lip reading. I mostly follow the facial expressions and body language to piece together what someone is saying if they speak too softly or too low. I am 70% deaf in my right ear and 80% deaf in my left and I wear hearing aides but it does not pick up whispering voices. LOL. I use ASL and I can speak English because my deafness was gradual in my childhood.
Religion-of-logic Well short answer, not long if you can write back and forth or gesture lol. Serious answer is it depends. Learning sign language is just like learning any other language. It takes time and depends on how much time and effort you put into the learning process. Also, it will depend how much socializing you do with Deaf people (this will help sign language to become more natural feeling to you).
I am full deaf, I lipread they lips always, I know very well ASL but my hands born with one each finger... But sometimes look almost same words I get wrong oh well..... (biggest smiles)

I love hearing her voice it's sooooooo cuteeee
lol :)
I don't think I've ever heard Jenna's voice before. She has such a nice laugh!
[Jenna] Thank you!
I know, I was laughing so so hard at the Deaf Challenge, you and Jenna are so much fun to watch and I have learned a lot from you both. Thank you so much for your videos.
+Megan Luck Aww thank you! Love having you here. So happy to hear you have learned a lot. Means a lot to us. :)
This is great! Also a way to get people to understand you cannot fully rely on lipreading to communicate to the Deaf, it's just not fair.
A deaf friend of mine says that many deaf that can lip read, can only read 20% of what is said. Her daughter of course who is profoundly deaf can read 40% of what is read on the lips and that is amazing. She is a really good student and is just as smart as her hearing peers.
+Megan Luck Yes reading lips is sooooooo hard. Try doing the "whisper challenge" and you will see that. I suck at it lol.
I lipread the last one as "My favorite color is cheese"
I’m so late to find you as I’m just learning and immersing myself into deaf culture and finding your channel. However, Jenna’s laugh makes me so happy. You both are so adorable!
Aww thanks so much! Glad you found us... no matter how late lol.
Im loving your channel.
My roommate is deaf and he is the most interesting person I have ever known.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Anwar Alsulami Thank you for watching. Hope you learn a lot from your roommate. :)
You two are so cute together!
Kimberly Cox Thanks!
@AbandonedDriveways Ryo, they are hard lol. I always knew lipreading was hard, but this just cements it for me.

You can teach as soon as you like. But I've heard the best is 6-9 months.
You two are the cutest!!!
+Vicki Boedges Thank you!
You two are adorableee

That was amazing I bless you
+Ajay Singh Thank you

[Jenna] Thank you!

I have to ask, when you mentioned Running Man were you talking about the Korean show, because it my favorite . Sorry if I was totally off
Rachel Mueller YES you are correct! Love that show!
this is so cute!
***** Thanks :)
I have deaf grandparents so I know lots of sign language so this was very refreshing to see sign language
[Jill] That's cool. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Jill, in this video, there were times you reminded me of Patricia Heaton! :)
Amazing...!! Btw What were you wearing in your ears in the video....?!
You guys are so cute!
I love the way you inserted those earplugs😍!
awe this is adorableeee c:
Jessica Nguyen Thanks. :)
I tried to play along and for the last one i got "my favorite animal is horses"
This was so awesome
TinyTots101 Thanks
love your guy.s video!

Hey Jill, how come you're signing SEE here? You sign in ASL in your later videos - did you learn it from Jenna as time went on?
This was older video and I was using SIM COM. So meaning my signing style would be more English order. I use to talk on my videos and not voice-over. Long story, but things have changed.
@@TheStews Oh that makes sense, thank you! :)
Try "Olive Juice" ;)
Sherrie Lynn Willey I tried that and Jenna thought I said "I love shoes" lol.
Wow this looks hard! I'm going to try this with my deaf friends. LOL
ever thought of doing a blind folded "whisper" signed challenge?
[Jill] That would be challenging!
I am terrible at lip reading. I mostly follow the facial expressions and body language to piece together what someone is saying if they speak too softly or too low. I am 70% deaf in my right ear and 80% deaf in my left and I wear hearing aides but it does not pick up whispering voices. LOL. I use ASL and I can speak English because my deafness was gradual in my childhood.
+Megan Luck I suck at lipreading too. It is super hard, so anyone that is good at it must have a lot of practice.
you guys are so cute! ❤
+Lara Etzen Thanks!
you guys r so cute together
+Emmy Jonhson Thanks!
About how long does it take someone from 0 experience to being able to communicate with a someone who is deaf?
Religion-of-logic Well short answer, not long if you can write back and forth or gesture lol. Serious answer is it depends. Learning sign language is just like learning any other language. It takes time and depends on how much time and effort you put into the learning process. Also, it will depend how much socializing you do with Deaf people (this will help sign language to become more natural feeling to you).
Yea my question was kinda put wrong way .
Religion-of-logic No worries. I understood.
Jill mouthed with a smile (which means I would have failed hard lol)
[Jill] LOL
I am full deaf, I lipread they lips always, I know very well ASL but my hands born with one each finger... But sometimes look almost same words I get wrong oh well..... (biggest smiles)
+Darlene Foster However you sign is fine. Doesn't matter if sometimes it gets confusing. I wish I could lipread well, but I'm lousy.
Sorry if this is offensive, but r u guys friends orr....
You guys are a cute couple! How did u guys meet?
Lilia Garcia We met at work. Here is our "How We Met" video. ruclips.net/video/GogSaaX2JUs/видео.html

miller lena Haha we originally were gonna make them harder. Thankfully we didn't!
my best friends birthday is easy to read ~ lol
+Behind You Ahh cool.
Notice with lady i. Scarf shake head too much when do sentence..and jenna keep full smile but later she stop smile got better speak.
You're a bit silly. I might use this idea with my kid. They like silly. We might have a good laugh at least :-)
[Jill] It was a lot of fun. :) Hope you have fun.
Well i really don't know what she says cause she does not sign. I can read some signing and do some but i'm not deaf.
+Dark Nite Ranger oh nvm
subbed :)
It just show you how difficult it is! Also, the word 'Muslim' looks like 'bosom' if you are not careful!
[Jenna] Yes, some words can easily be misunderstood as something entirely different!
They both are bad at lip moving
I wanna see y'all kiss...BTW I'm 10 and I love sign language
+Adrianna Moloch Check out... Vegan Taste Test on my vegan channel (ruclips.net/user/jstewardson2) at end I think we kiss. :) Yay sign language
