I think it was less “overestimating” and more just trying his best at signing, something that he does not have a lot of practice of. I’d love to learn ASL but would have no clue where to even start!
Find a beginner class taught by people that are deaf & hard of hearing! There may be some classes in person near you and there are definitely classes online.
The alphabet. I learned BSL by learning the alphabet first and going from there. You can say anything if you can spell it! Our alphabet is entirely different to the ASL alphabet but you pick them up quicker than you’d think!
this happens so much when learning any language, not just sign. imo not getting very far when signing but still trying and failing is way more respectful than not trying at all. i don't think too many people in the real world outside of tiktok make up their own signs in overconfidence
Can you imagine telling someone learning or attempting to speak any language that they are overestimating their ability. I know from experience how discouraging it is. Communication is the greatest tool we have in this world. It can tear apart relationships or it can build nations. Use it wisely.
This was just recently told to me, but the Oklahoma School for the Deaf is literally accepting people for free online classes of ASL 1 and ASL 2 for their spring semester! The lessons are be self-paced, too, so you don't have a strict schedule to keep up with.
I would be like the man in video. I know very little but I’m trying to learn. Not in an actual class makes it difficult to really learn. You can be watching classes online but that is not the same as a classroom where you interact with others. ASL is a beautiful language and not simple to learn as a second language. I want to learn correct ASL.
Look up Bill Vicars here on youtube. I found his videos the best way to not only learn signs but also grammar. He's a deaf professor that records his class and is super easy to follow.
Don't feel too bad, I took classes to learn ASL, which helps but not as much as you'd think bc all of you are new to signing and classes are not that long. It's hard to remember and use any language when you don't get to practice it regularly, but just keep at it!
OH MY GD I love that actress sosososo much! I first saw her in my all time favorite show Jericho (2008) and was so sad when the show was canceled after the first season. I also love her in supernstural and am so excited for a new role to watch her in!!!!!
@@colettej2504 and a short run comic for season 3. Its pretty good too, but not the same. And, in fairness, Jericho WAS canceled after the first season. But some many people wrote letters and sent nuts to the studio, that they brought it back for a second season.
@@colettej2504 apparently, we all get to learn today. Ya, IDW made 6 comics into "Jericho season 3: Civil War" that picks up right after season 2 ends, not the unaired version of the ending. If you know, you know. But, there's also a "season 4" collection of 5 more books that I didn't know about! So everyone here gets to have a bit more new stuff! Thanks for making me go look.
She's a joy in everything she's in. Easily my favorite character in Jericho, and I love that show big time. At least an attempt was made to communicate. Partial credit for that. But signing can be super useful even for fulling hearing folks. I work around jet engines and high noise areas, and it's incredibly useful to tell someone that you need a specific tool at a distance or during high noise. At the very least, learn your ABCs and counting. If you don't know the sign, you can spell the word.
Something I'd like to know is if you overestimate your skill: are deaf people similar to Spanish speakers where they love when people try to talk with them and just laugh and encourage, or do they hate it?
Unpopular opinion: Deaf ppl can be rude, too. My BIL is Deaf, and rude. “Overestimating” one’s abilities is very rude and you shouldn’t discourage people from trying whilst simultaneously trying to raise awareness. Thanks.
Question. you say people overestimate their ability to sign. does that mean you don't think we should even try what little we have as we're learning? I'm very shy and this has always been my excuse to not use a new language I'm learning until I'm fluent, but I can't get fluent unless I practice, however imperfectly.
That is how you learn. It's just something that happens. As long as you are actually trying to communicate and not doing vocab practice, it's fine. She wasn't saying you shouldn't do it, it's just a fact.
My ASL skills are probably pretty close to the guy in this video, but one thing I do feel confident in saying, from learning *other* languages, is that the sooner you can start producing speech - with mistakes - along with someone who is able (and **willing**) to help you correct them - then you will learn very quickly. You can't be afraid of getting it wrong or you will literally never learn. Just make sure the context is appropriate and welcome to learners who will make mistakes - once you know that, go for it!
@@GavinBisesi Agreed. Also, you should definitely know how to explain your level of fluency in whatever language you are learning, in ASL you should definitely know how to say "I'm learning ASL" and "I know _some_ ASL" because certain common mistakes can be perceived as insults. The most famous one (and honestly, I blame the language itself because who decided this?) is "shy" vs "prostitute." There is no etymological reason for those two words to be so similar. And learn to read the person you're talking to, I once had a friend who was coming out to me, and we were talking about his abusive upbringing, and it was interrupted by a hearing student wanting to practice. I'm not saying you should never try, but there is absolutely a right and wrong time to do it.
Hi Christy darling I am curious So you write English Speak English Sign American What else? In school I was in several lessons of Israeli sign language, based on the French I remember almost nothing
Im not sorry! Poster 😡Over estimate their abilities??? That was a human who was trying to communicate! 😡geez according to you, he shouldn’t even bothered😡😡😡
@@moosedougexactly. My family is Peruvian but never taught me Spanish because my mother didn’t want my sister or me to learn. As a result, what little I’ve learned by myself is spoken with a gringa tongue and I stop speaking around my family because they make fun of me for it
Overestimate isn't a bad word you guys, it's just hat happens when you are learning a language. You start to say something and realize you don't quite know how. It wasn't meant to be an insult or discouragement, just the way it is when you're still learning.
She did an amazing job in Supernatural. I was so plesed when she turned out to be a recurring character.
Who did she play in supernatural???
@@drivingmissmolly Aileen
i remember her!! i knew she was familiar
I thought that was her! Loved her character
Lmao was struggling to figure out who she played but I stopped watching after 11 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I loved her in supernatural an important and wonderful role which ended to soon
Agreed
She and Sam made such a cute couple. I would've loved to see more of Aileen.

That scene where she's a bad ass in the house and she does that thing? I wanted to rampage too.
Jericho got 2 seasons 🎉

I adore Shoshannah Stern. She was one of my faves as Eileen in SPN.
While everyone is recognizing her from various shows. I’m sitting here screaming oh my god that’s Julian from One Tree Hill.
Oh! I remember her from supernatural shes such a amazing actor ill have to check that out lol
She's a joy in everything she's in.

I’ve only ever seen her in Weeds, so glad to see her in other stuff ❤
I loved her in Supernatural 🥰
I've been learning so much sign with my coworker at work, and fingerspelling really really helps when you're stuck.
She was great in Jericho and Supernatural!
I remember him from agents of shield where he played a hacker and Daisy’s bf
Love Shoshannah! I am a fan of Austin too. Definitely need to check this out.
so pretty o_o
She was awesome in Supernatural!❤
ASL is something I always wished I knew
Thats Eileen from Supernatural!!!!🎉❤
Something I'd like to know is if you overestimate your skill: are deaf people similar to Spanish speakers where they love when people try to talk with them and just laugh and encourage, or do they hate it?
I know exactly my signing ability: "I can sign this".
I really liked the silent episode of "Only murders in the building". Never seen this one. Maybe I'll check it out.
Awww its Sam's wife!!!😊
I remember she had a cameo in "Another Period" as Helen Keller. She did a whole episode and they drank cocaine wine.
Unpopular opinion: Deaf ppl can be rude, too. My BIL is Deaf, and rude.
“Overestimating” one’s abilities is very rude and you shouldn’t discourage people from trying whilst simultaneously trying to raise awareness. Thanks.
The most frustrating part (for me) while learning is being able to sign bits of what you want to express, but not the other half 🙃
Do you impression of Azealia Banks 🙏🏽. I think your voice would sound really cool
where can we download or stream this?
❤
What show is the?
Pardon my ignorance, but what show is this?
My right ear hearing this audio o_o
I am curious to know if asl translation to English and say asl translation to Spanish are same? Or does every language has its own version.

yeah dont expect to communicate everything in sign after you learn a little bit. it takes years. the only way to become fluent is by signing everyday.
My ASL skills are probably pretty close to the guy in this video, but one thing I do feel confident in saying, from learning *other* languages, is that the sooner you can start producing speech - with mistakes - along with someone who is able (and **willing**) to help you correct them - then you will learn very quickly.

@@blueturtle3623 yeah that ties into what I was saying about making sure the place you're at is one that's welcome to learning questions.
I can sign the alphabet but that's about the best of my abilities 😆
I liked her in supernatural. I wish they hadn't ended her story like that. It felt.... thrown away
Ayyyy it’s Aileen!!
I’m learning sign language and it’s quite difficult.
I saw her in greys anatomy 🥰
I think I’ve actually seen this movie. Been a long time though.
Is that a hallmark movie 🎥?
Ohhh it’s the girl from Jericho
Is Nathan a young Nick from Grimm? It cannot be, doubleganger maybe?
I don’t think so, but I’m not 100% sure. But I do know with 100% certainty that he was Julian on One Tree Hill.
“Heard about your mom” 😅
Can someone explain why she did that face when he said “she’s with her boyfriend” ???? Plsss
That's the girl from weeds.
Hi Christy darling
I am curious
So you write English
Speak English
Sign American
What else?
In school I was in several lessons of Israeli sign language, based on the French
I remember almost nothing
The blond chick is so beautiful 😊
I thought Candace was a setup
Im not sorry! Poster 😡Over estimate their abilities??? That was a human who was trying to communicate! 😡geez according to you, he shouldn’t even bothered😡😡😡
Can we go on a date
You are so Beautiful 😍
"Overestimate".. at least he tried..
Agree. That was kinda rude and is exactly what put people off learning and trying.

So is what you’re saying that we shouldn’t try to sign? Because you’re lowkey shaming the dude for not knowing how to sign fluently
