    I work at Amazon, I have 3 deaf coworkers and once I pulled up with the “I’m learning sign” and “my name is B-E-T-O” y’all shoulda seen the smile on their faces it was heartwarming! I need to learn to sign “let’s go hit the stizzy in the restroom!”

      one fall, a bunch of kids in my school's marching band learned a handful of signs (i still have no clue whether or not they were correct for what we were saying) and just signed the dumbest phrases to each other during classes and band rehearsals to make each other laugh. we'd just be sitting across classrooms signing things like "platypus beans" or "you are not my first boyfriend" for absolutely no reason. it drove our teachers nuts and i wish i had people to do that with in college.

    Thank you for this. All of the kids are in masks at school and my son just met one of the boys who is deaf. He can no longer read lips because all the kids are in masks. We ordered my son masks with a window, but he's using your videos to learn how to communicate with him better. I appreciate these easy to follow videos. They're great for an 8 year old because you go nice and slow and tell why each sign is the way it is. Thank you :)

I have a hand held sign signifying that I am deaf and most people will hold their mask down so I can read their lips. I am just starting to learn ASL as I have found many non deaf people can speak to me via signing. This is as real blessing for me. Thank you Victoria for helping me get started.

      It's not a bad skill to learn. When I was a volunteer at a Museum, two people came up to the exhibit I was at. One was deaf. I thought they were friends, but he told me he was a Translator. I didn't realize I had started signing with him, until The Translator told me what had happened and that I was the only person who was able to sign back and forth with him. I asked if I had signed everything correctly, and he said yes.
      I started learning it because of where I worked. Because I hadn't learned it, straight off, I was told to just give them a Pen and Paper. No, I wanted to be able to communicate better than that.

      I'm learning ASL for a similar reason. I have anxiety and autism, and after panic attacks it's becoming more and more common for me to go completely nonverbal. I want to learn and have my friends learn so I can communicate with them. It's also just a good idea to learn it. I may eventually be friends with or know someone who is mute or deaf or even occasionally nonverbal like me, and I want to be able to communicate. It's lonely when you can't communicate with those around you.

    I always wanted to learn sign language, and sure enough I met a guy on the streets the other day and was the only one who knew some words to communicate with him. It’s a beautiful thing to learn ASL because there are many people out there who need us. Be in their shoes for one day and you will understand how hard it is for them to communicate, find a job, or even make friends when no one understands them. I am looking forward for more lessons 😊🙋🏽‍♀️ Thank you

    My cousin is deaf and it would bring the greatest joy to him to show him I actually can greet him properly now and be able to at least show him something I learned just for him... All of my life growing up and going yearly to 4th of July events I never knew what to do or what to say and now I finally can do something at least, that he can appreciate.

      Same. Very slowly, but ten years of harp playing (it goes right against your right ear because of how you sit) has messed up my hearing enough that I have to ask people to repeat things all the time. Plus I don't like to talk all that much because of a problem with my throat so sign language is just a good bet all around. I hope you don't have to rely on sign language for a long time though. Sounds are beautiful :)
