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!”
awww thats so nice of u! i sometimes feel sorry for the janitors because they have no one to talk to so sometimes when they look friendly me and my friend would talk. Anyway good luck!
i decided to learn asl for my deaf aunt so we could get to know each other better. unfortunately she passed away last week but i’m still gonna learn for her, i know she would be proud of me :)
My friend just found out she's going deaf.. I'm trying to learn sign language so her and I can talk. She already knows some though because her parents made her learn when she was younger.
You had the same thing in common as myself, I'm slowly losing my hearing and teaching myself, I learn to learn 5 words and stay on them for the week. Like in grade school spelling words..we wrote, use it in a sentence, had a spelling test...its how I been doing it..
Me rn: learn asl. Me again: you aren’t deaf, you don’t know anyone who is deaf and there isn’t anyone in you school who is deaf. Me anyway: learn asl rn.

There are some kids at my school that are bullied for being deaf, and no one ever works with them. It makes me feel horrible so I want to learn sign language so I can communicate with them and become their friend, please keep in mind that even learning a few phrases and making someone else feel included can mean so much to people and give sign language a try!
You are so sweet for looking out! I am glad there are people like you, and you are right! even learning a few phrases can make someone feel included. I work in healthcare and I learned to say Hi my name is... and I can see how happy my patients get when I say that! It changes the whole thing.
I was able to use it at the store with this deaf lady, she was so sweet I didn't know she was deaf and I went to ask her what the time was and she responded in ASl, "I'm deaf, sorry" luckily i was able to remember how to point at my wrist hoping that would help and thank you, bye. we were taught ASL in primary school but they stopped teaching it for some they stopped :(
Everyone in the comments: I wanna learn ASL Bc....*something super emotional and touching* Me: I watched a TV show and randomly thought it would be fun...
I am a combat veteran with severe hearing loss. Now that we are required to wear masks in public I am essentially isolated when people speak to me as I cannot understand what they are saying. 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.
Me: learning asl I‘m not deaf Nobody in my family is deaf...non of my friends are deaf No one in my school is deaf I don‘t know anyone who is deaf I‘m not living in America and don‘t speak the English language... And I still learn ASL 😂 I would love to meet someone who is deaf to talk to.
That’s so wholesome 🥺🥺 I’m learning ASL bc I wanna communicate better with people at my school and I cosplay on Tiktok and I want to be able to use asl as well as closed captioning so hard of hearing and deaf people can still enjoy my videos ::)
I started using it as baby sign language with my son 7 years ago, and now we’re teaching it to my 12 month baby girl! We’re not deaf or anything but it’s always good to learn it. It comes in handy!
It helped my babies and I communicate when they weren’t speaking well yet! It breaks a lot of barriers for sure! And it’s fun to your kids as they get older that you have a “code” or “secret language” 💜
There are 2 deaf kids in my grade and my friend who isn’t deaf sits with them and she said she can teach me some sign, and I can sit with her on Friday , but this video definitely made me more confident
I'm learning sign language for one of my new best friends. She is a really energetic funny person! And I can't wait to surprise her when she finally realizes I speak sign language.
I have a deaf best friend and I feel bad that I can’t sign to her, I can only text her or write her notes which makes me feel bad so I’m here to learn for her.
Awww, that's so sweet, I'm with ya. I also have a deaf best friend, she's energetic, and funny. This is the main reason I am watching this video right now. Good Luck with the sign language! I believe in you!!!
They work well together. Practice it - when you watch a korean for beginners video - annyeonghaseyo (but sign hello) you can practice your ASL and remember korean better
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 work as a security guard at a courthouse and we had a hard of hearing gentlemen come in the other day and I needed to scan his belt but he couldn't hear us, so I took off my mask (6ft away) so he could read my lips, but this encounter made me want to learn sign language, in just 1 day I learned the alphabet and how to spell my name. Every time I learn a new phrase it makes me so happy and I can't wait to be able to use it one day :) we should definitely be teaching this in schools, and i cant wait to teach my kids one day :)
Its 6 feet with a mask. If you are without one it should be 30 feet. Not trying to be an annoying asshole I just think its important that people know the basic safety regulations and of course its your choice to follow them or not.
So I recently watched a movie called “ A Silent Voice” and it was really touching and it has made me want to learn sign language and I really appreciate this video because it helps a lot. Thanks!
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.
We just got a new kid at school and i have classes with him. He is deaf and i really wanna learn how to talk to him so thank you for making this video.
@@cristianadarau5774 you are not asking me but i am learning ASL for the same reason. It is going pretty good so far. I learned all the basics and now i am able to talk to him. He cried tears of joy. Best school day i have ever had.
I just met my first deaf person and I really like her. She’s good at lip reading and following conversations but I don’t want to make her do all the work to communicate. Thank you so much!!
I'm learning this so I can communicate with a deaf and mute student in my class. Since no one knows sign language he is pretty lonely. So imma learn a few phrases and communicate with him :)
In my elementary school there was a deaf girl, and like she is the reason I wanted to learn sign language (i learned Mexican sign language, and now i want to learn american sign language)
A lot of customers who are hard of hearing come through my line (I’m a cashier) and I’m learning ASL to communicate with them better. Thank you for this video!
Me too and also seeing videos of def people being mistreated in the retail industry. Like I never had a problem with them (I’m a cashier too) ugh people are so stupid..

i don’t have a certain person that i want to talk to i just want to be able to communicate to different kinds of people so i’m learning asl ! i truly believe that this should be taught in schools. thank you Victoria for teaching me some basics!
A student in my class just found out he's going deaf, and I'm realizing I should have learned this a long time ago. Thanks so much, this is super helpful!
I'm a dental student and one of my new patients is deaf, so these videos are great especially with lip reading out of the question because of our PPE. Patient absolutely lit up when I first met them and signed "Nice to meet you" and "I'm learning sign language". Made my week.
0:32 - hello 0:51 - hey (getting attention) 1:02 - what's up 1:17 - my name is... 2:00 - nice to meet you 2:46, 3:04 - I am learning sign 3:52 - what's your name 4:21 - where are you from 5:05, 5:17 - how are you 5:53 - I'm from... 6:21 - I'm fine 6:48 - please 7:00 - thank you 7:16 - excuse me 7:54 - what's your favorite... 8:37 - what do you like to do? 9:15 - where do you work? 9:40 - what time is it? 10:05 - where is the bathroom? 10:33 - how do I sign...? 11:11 - what a sign means 12:05 - good bye 12:17 - see you later 12:38 - take care
this is weird, but im doing this to talk to a staff at my school who is deaf (I'm pretty far along just seeing comments) And to talk to my teacher and friends because we want nobody to know what we're saying xD
Just a quick thing: The sign ‘thank you’ starts at the chin and then moves away. However, be careful you don’t start underneath the chin and flick outward. You will be telling the other person to f’ off. Just a thing to keep in mind. 😅
I recently made a deaf friend who hate talking because of her voice and always wanted to talk to me in sign so her birthday is coming up in 3 months and I have decided for her gift will be me being able to talk to her in sign. I hope she is happy with her surprise!!
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.
Thank you soo much for your help i have been trying to learn sign for my best friend who has been deaf at birth we started by writing notes and i have so far learned the sign alphabet and how to say good morning good night and good afternoon we have been best friends for two years now and its amazing to be able to have conversations with her in class and not get yelled at for talking the teacher just thinks im explaining class work/ translating it we have every class together and most teachers just write down instructions and give them to her but now i can tell her what we are doing for the day
This is sooo helpful. I like that she explained what the actions are representing, like "learn" is picking up knowledge and putting it into your head! It really helps me remember it a lot better. I'm learning ASL just for fun so this is great! :)
We can’t learn sign language in my school, and I don’t have time or many ways to go to some place to learn, so your videos are really useful! I don’t have a deaf friend, but I really think that it can be useful in the future and it’s a good way to spend my free time, so thank you for teaching us! ^^
Hi Carla! We're happy to hear Victoria's videos are helping you learn ASL. Did you know you can take free, facetime ASL classes with her here? Check it out! bit.ly/2ZPGkSr we hope to see you in class!
I’m so glad a lot of people started taking interest in ASL recently Those who are Deaf and HoH are some of the coolest people you will ever meet and the least we can do is take that extra step to learn how to communicate with them
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 :)
Hi! I'm a student of ASL and I've been studying for a couple years now. I really love how you teach the correct sentence structure like SVO and Topic Comment. You don't feel the need to make it easier because it's a language like any other, you have to work at it. Thank you and keep it up!
Just recently found out that due to sound damage, I am losing my hearing. I'm going to need hearing aids soon. Knowing sign will give me some confidence in the years ahead. Looking forward to taking the lessons and even teaching my husband. Thank you, Victoria. I feel very comfortable that I can learn sign from you. You have a gift of teaching.
Just recently lost my hearing, after 30 years of hearing, waking up to no sound was a Heartbreakers. Started learning sign to teach my kids so we can still communicate.
I am learning sign to talk with a deaf cashier I met yesterday....he inspired me❤️.......also I am learning this to communicate in future with anyone and everyone in need
@@katscratchfever3506 start with palm up with dominant hand in a fist with thumb up resting on the other hand and lift up with dominant hand to sign "help" :) (Kinda like a 👍 lifting from flat palm)
the sign for help is putting your non-dominant hand out flat with your palm up and your dominant hand on top with your thumb up then bring the sign toward you and do you need help is the same but put the sign away from you with your eyebrows furrowed, hope this helps!
i made a google docs and wrote down my practice words(words i learned from this video) im gonna practice the basics. i set it up like a little quiz where i go through the points and try and sign them all. it works pretty good. i also inserted a picture of the alphabet just in case
I've known some things in sign for awhile, but I just recently started working at a store and there's a few deaf customers who visit often and I wanted to learn more. This is very helpful, thank you :D
I'm new to the field of special education at my local school district and I'm seeing a lot of hearing/non verbal children that don't have resources for learning ASL or learning simple sign. My goal is to implement a program someday so we can have those services for children that fall into this category and they may feel more freedom in expressing themselves. I took ASL 1 and 2 when I was in college, but I am still kicking myself that I didn't change my field of study to ASL. It's now 10 years later I had a recent desire to be an interpreter and I'm very rusty. And my confidence in my skills has diminished, but I'm working on that by learning more. This has been a nice intro back into ASL. :) Also, I highly recommend reading "Deaf Like Me." It's a true story about a family and the process they went through when they found out their daughter was born deaf. It's really lovely and gives you an intimate understanding of the deaf community and culture.
I'm learning this bc of my fav customer so that i can surprise her when she comes back to the shop after this corona thing is over 🙄 plus yesterday I helped this deaf couple and i said thank you in sign language and they looked so happy and thanked me alot 😭 i really want to communicate with them stay blessed❤️❤️
I'm learning ASL because I am starting to lose my hearing. I've been putting it off for so long because it's hard to process that you will be disabled pretty soon but also good to know that I can still overcome the fear with communicating by ASL. Baby steps!
You never know when deafness will hit you even temporarily, even when its due to some sickness like Ramsey Hunt Shingles, as it did to me. I was deaf for 3 months ! It left me with tinnitus badly when sound came back. You really need to have some kind of communication on the go, and sign language is great to use. You'd be surprised how many know how to sign ! Its' also a universal language and works almost everywhere ! Like the word dog for example, is spoken as a different sound in many language and be all different, but in sign language dog is good for all of them ! Like perro, dog = same sign in sign language. Father ,mother, are different words in different languages, but is the same sign in sign language for all of them. So sign language is really a universal language. I think that's great !
I have only met one person who was deaf and it was a girl at a grocery store. I had came up to her to ask her a question and as if she had done it hundreds of times before she pointed me to someone else. I felt extremely guilty that I couldn't converse with her and I had no way of doing so. (paper/pencil or even a phone at the time) It was only for a brief moment but as someone with health issues and accommodations that go along with that I appreciate people understanding me and knowing things/relating to me. So, I want to be able to do that. I seriously appreciate this video and I probably will watch it 20x over. Seriously wish this was taught in schools as a requirement or at the very least offered.
I am also seeing a few people say that they are learning so that they can also "pretend to be deaf if they don't want to talk to someone." As someone who is not deaf/I don't know anyone who is deaf personally so I cannot speak on anyone's behalf, so please correct me if I am wrong. Is that phrase, in face, rude to deaf people? I had a SD and often found people who would say that they wish they could bring their dog everywhere and that never sat right with me because I bring her places because I have to if I want to be safe it's not a "want" as sometimes it is nice and sometimes it's a struggle. Sorry I type a lot if you can't tell haha
One time a said thank you for letting me pass the street in sign language they thought a blew a kiss so they blew a kiss back 😂😂😂 that’s one of my favorite memories
Giving a high five to everyone learning sign language so they can speak with the hearing impaired. This gives me faith that there is good in the world. My brother shared this YT with me because I mentioned I have a deaf coworker and would like to be able to converse with him in ASL.
as a disabled person, thank you. i'm not deaf, but any accommodation you can give to deaf, blind, or disabled people means more than you might realize. even if it seems small, it makes a huge difference for us, especially with doctors. so many medical workers know very little about us and they don't care to learn, so thank you.
Im learning sign language because of a group they put sign language in their dancing and inspired me to learn, appreciate, and be friends for those who use sign language
I loved that it was slower since she explained the logic behind a lot of the signs, and explained to use the dominant hand which I haven't gotten from any other videos. It made everything a lot easier to remember.
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
0:54 if ur trying to get somebody’s attention and there not getting it.. Me:Yeets chair across classroom and says oh hi I just wanted to say hi (I have done it before)

I'm sorry for your loss.

I’m learning sign language bc I work in a restaurant and sometimes we have deaf people come in and I just wanna talk to them so they aren’t lonely 🥺
You deserve a raise and promotion
As someone who only knows very basic ASL and learned in gr6 I would suggest you learn how to do the alphabet and just basic phrases.
Awww that's nice! Imma wanna learn too cause why not
you're an angel
Good luck! UwU

I’m trying to learn ASL not because i’m deaf but because I just want to know for my future life, just incase, ya know ?
Good idea. I am a CODA and am loosing hearing as I approach 50. It is always good to know. Best of luck.
hai gabi, im learning asl as well for a few friends with speech impediments in my art class. have you gotten any progress?
yeah
I'm like you
Same here. I remember a few signs, but I couldn't remember much. So I decided to learn some more sign language.
Learning ASL for that one life saving moment in my life where I'll probably need it
Saaame
I was able to use it at the store with this deaf lady, she was so sweet I didn't know she was deaf and I went to ask her what the time was and she responded in ASl, "I'm deaf, sorry" luckily i was able to remember how to point at my wrist hoping that would help and thank you, bye. we were taught ASL in primary school but they stopped teaching it for some they stopped :(

@@nikithamadithapu1279 sign language is not to make you look cool kid, it's to communicate with deaf ppl
I am a combat veteran with severe hearing loss. Now that we are required to wear masks in public I am essentially isolated when people speak to me as I cannot understand what they are saying. 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.
Be encouraged Barry! I wish this was taught in schools like every other language.
Thanks for your service!
I wish you luck on your journey. Thank you for your service.
I remember I was in a store once and I saw I guy who was also a veteran and he had a mask saying I'm not rude just deaf
I cannot wait til the day everyone understands that we all need see-through masks
Me: learning asl
I‘m not deaf
Nobody in my family is deaf...non of my friends are deaf
No one in my school is deaf
I don‘t know anyone who is deaf
I‘m not living in America and don‘t speak the English language...
And I still learn ASL 😂 I would love to meet someone who is deaf to talk to.
And the signs are so interesting 💖 .She does a awesome work dont you think 😊 ?
Everybody her has a great reason to learn sign language while I’m here doing this so I can “talk” in class
not all heroes wear cape!
I wonder how it would be "used" in class? 😂😂😂😂

That’s so wholesome 🥺🥺 I’m learning ASL bc I wanna communicate better with people at my school and I cosplay on Tiktok and I want to be able to use asl as well as closed captioning so hard of hearing and deaf people can still enjoy my videos ::)
Awe that’s so sweet I wish you luck

I’m honestly learning this in case I meet someone who is deaf or in case someone I know goes deaf
Same

I started using it as baby sign language with my son 7 years ago, and now we’re teaching it to my 12 month baby girl! We’re not deaf or anything but it’s always good to learn it. It comes in handy!
It helped my babies and I communicate when they weren’t speaking well yet! It breaks a lot of barriers for sure! And it’s fun to your kids as they get older that you have a “code” or “secret language” 💜
Absolutely!!!
There are 2 deaf kids in my grade and my friend who isn’t deaf sits with them and she said she can teach me some sign, and I can sit with her on Friday , but this video definitely made me more confident
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
I'm learning sign language for one of my new best friends. She is a really energetic funny person! And I can't wait to surprise her when she finally realizes I speak sign language.
That's so sweet 🥺🥺💕💕
I am not learning this because I'm bored or in quarantine, I just want to help someone I see struggling. I love helping people :)
I am learning because of boredom but its also something I've always wanted to learn and just never got around to it
I just wanted to learn because if i ever ran into a deaf person I would be able to talk to them and because I think ASL would be fun to learn.
I have a deaf best friend and I feel bad that I can’t sign to her, I can only text her or write her notes which makes me feel bad so I’m here to learn for her.
that’s so sweet
How’s it going??
Awww, that's so sweet, I'm with ya. I also have a deaf best friend, she's energetic, and funny. This is the main reason I am watching this video right now. Good Luck with the sign language! I believe in you!!!
She will love that! Keep it up
can we have an update?
Me who has been debating on if I should learn Korean, Chinese or Japanese and decided to learn ASL instead:😊
They work well together. Practice it - when you watch a korean for beginners video - annyeonghaseyo (but sign hello) you can practice your ASL and remember korean better
Chinese is a bit easier from what I understand.
Same, but Japanese, chinese, spanish, or english xD
@Alanah Marie me to I wanna learn the same exact
i already know 5 languages and now learning ASL!
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 work as a security guard at a courthouse and we had a hard of hearing gentlemen come in the other day and I needed to scan his belt but he couldn't hear us, so I took off my mask (6ft away) so he could read my lips, but this encounter made me want to learn sign language, in just 1 day I learned the alphabet and how to spell my name. Every time I learn a new phrase it makes me so happy and I can't wait to be able to use it one day :) we should definitely be teaching this in schools, and i cant wait to teach my kids one day :)
Its 6 feet with a mask. If you are without one it should be 30 feet. Not trying to be an annoying asshole I just think its important that people know the basic safety regulations and of course its your choice to follow them or not.
agreed!
So I recently watched a movie called “ A Silent Voice” and it was really touching and it has made me want to learn sign language and I really appreciate this video because it helps a lot. Thanks!
The ending of that was fckin brutal 😑
Pfft you too huh?
I’m guilty of that-
I feel that too
Ahhh, I love a silent voice!!
That was the reason I came here
I learning this because.... i dont know. I just did this cause im really interested in it. ♥️😂
Yeah,same💫
Me too
Same
Me to
I learn this because it's for my imaginary girlfriend
I can’t be the only one learning so I can communicate with friends across the classroom silently right💀
lmaooo
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.
tnx for the idia (sorry for bad englich)
me and my classmate thought the same!
Lmaoo
We just got a new kid at school and i have classes with him. He is deaf and i really wanna learn how to talk to him so thank you for making this video.
Who's it going??
@@cristianadarau5774 you are not asking me but i am learning ASL for the same reason. It is going pretty good so far. I learned all the basics and now i am able to talk to him. He cried tears of joy. Best school day i have ever had.
I’m learning ASL because of “ A Silent Voice”
Great movie btw
FunkyLando CFA oh yeah that’s a great movie! I’ve been learning ASL for about a year XD also I started learning because of switched at birth
Same, i cried while watching it
FunckyLando CFA omg I love that movie lmao, but I'm learning sign just for fun. You know, in case I meet a deaf person :)
FunkyLando CFA YEEESSSS
Holy Otaku sammmeeee
I just met my first deaf person and I really like her. She’s good at lip reading and following conversations but I don’t want to make her do all the work to communicate. Thank you so much!!
That’s great that you care for her not to do all the work!🥺
I'm learning this so I can communicate with a deaf and mute student in my class. Since no one knows sign language he is pretty lonely. So imma learn a few phrases and communicate with him :)
Imagine being the only person who can talk to the knew kid😌✨
I’m the new kid who’s learning to sign lmao
LOL THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN SEARCHING UP SL
Wrong *new*
In my elementary school there was a deaf girl, and like she is the reason I wanted to learn sign language (i learned Mexican sign language, and now i want to learn american sign language)
that's exactly why i am trying how to learn asl
there’s this girl in my class who is deaf, and i really wanna be friends with her, so thanks for this!
Aw that's really sweet tho I hope you become great friends
Did yall become friends?
A lot of customers who are hard of hearing come through my line (I’m a cashier) and I’m learning ASL to communicate with them better. Thank you for this video!
Patchley that’s pretty cool. I just thought about learning the basics so I can communicate a bit better.
same here!!
Me too and also seeing videos of def people being mistreated in the retail industry. Like I never had a problem with them (I’m a cashier too) ugh people are so stupid..
Thats exactly why I'm here. Great way to be able to build a rapport with customers who are hearing impaired.

i don’t have a certain person that i want to talk to i just want to be able to communicate to different kinds of people so i’m learning asl ! i truly believe that this should be taught in schools. thank you Victoria for teaching me some basics!
true it should b taught in school
I totally agree!
some good to show are “I love you” “I’ll be back” and “are you hungry”.... living with a deaf person these are used often.
i love you is 🤟🏾 it’s i L and Y mixed together or at least that’s what i learned
@@madisonrobinson8994 bruhhhh, I know the asl alphabet, but I never linked that together!!
You know how people are like, "I could listen to Italian all day long?" I could watch ASL all day long. Beautiful.
I’m learning this just in case “The Quiet Place” becomes real.
hahaha
😅😅🥺🥺😅🥺
Your name fits this comment perfectly. (XD)
Lolll
THE PROFILE PICTURE JUST ADDS THE ZEST TO THE LEMON
A student in my class just found out he's going deaf, and I'm realizing I should have learned this a long time ago. Thanks so much, this is super helpful!
Im learning Sign language just for the kid at my school so he doesn't feel left out.
Ur a good person 🥰
I cant tell you how happy this makes me reading this.
you’re so sweet
That’s so nice of you
Omg your so sweet
I'm a dental student and one of my new patients is deaf, so these videos are great especially with lip reading out of the question because of our PPE. Patient absolutely lit up when I first met them and signed "Nice to meet you" and "I'm learning sign language". Made my week.

Me and my sis learning sign language so we can talk about anything and anyone without them knowing lol
Lol but u never know people might know sign language
this is weird, but im doing this to talk to a staff at my school who is deaf (I'm pretty far along just seeing comments) And to talk to my teacher and friends because we want nobody to know what we're saying xD
Same here bro
Goals
omg me too!!
Just a quick thing:
The sign ‘thank you’ starts at the chin and then moves away. However, be careful you don’t start underneath the chin and flick outward. You will be telling the other person to f’ off. Just a thing to keep in mind. 😅
It's so stupid that that's the only sign language I've known most of my life
I know how to spell my name and flick people off, even though, I never used it
But the rest of your fingers should be up so youre only waving backwards
Ah, so that's why I got slapped.
@@GlitchedRed lol do we get a backstory ?
I recently made a deaf friend who hate talking because of her voice and always wanted to talk to me in sign so her birthday is coming up in 3 months and I have decided for her gift will be me being able to talk to her in sign. I hope she is happy with her surprise!!
There is this new girl in our class she’s deaf I told her to be my friend so now we are friends but I don’t know said language 🥺🤟🏻🥰but I’m learning
Dang that's sweet of u
That’s so nice!
That's so sweet! :) I'm learning just in case I befriend a deaf or mute person
Hope u can communicate with her
Have you watched "A Silent Voice" ? Its a very emotional anime movie featuring a deaf character using Japanese sign language
im learning ASL because i have an anxiety disorder and talking makes me panic and ASL comforts me
Same man.
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 have an anxiety disorder also and was learning ASL for a different reason but now that you mention this I might try it also.
@@sketchingingreen wish you the best of luck man.
Same applies on too
Thank you soo much for your help i have been trying to learn sign for my best friend who has been deaf at birth we started by writing notes and i have so far learned the sign alphabet and how to say good morning good night and good afternoon we have been best friends for two years now and its amazing to be able to have conversations with her in class and not get yelled at for talking the teacher just thinks im explaining class work/ translating it we have every class together and most teachers just write down instructions and give them to her but now i can tell her what we are doing for the day
Alaina S. That’s great of you!
I’m so proud
Of you for learning the sighn
This is sooo helpful. I like that she explained what the actions are representing, like "learn" is picking up knowledge and putting it into your head! It really helps me remember it a lot better. I'm learning ASL just for fun so this is great! :)
i’m learning ASL just in case bird box or The quiet place actually happens
Why bird box?
Did you watch bird box? You know, the one with the blindfolded people?
@@niklas_freitas2077 pft because you hear sign language
same
that's a mood honestly. fear drives me to do the unexpected... like learning ASL.
We can’t learn sign language in my school, and I don’t have time or many ways to go to some place to learn, so your videos are really useful! I don’t have a deaf friend, but I really think that it can be useful in the future and it’s a good way to spend my free time, so thank you for teaching us! ^^
Hi Carla! We're happy to hear Victoria's videos are helping you learn ASL. Did you know you can take free, facetime ASL classes with her here? Check it out! bit.ly/2ZPGkSr we hope to see you in class!
@@TakeLessons THank you so much for all your help ^^
@@c9384 This chat seem very professional . Therefore I shall also be quite ze fancy type.
I got inspired to learn sign by watching anime XD
It was called "A Silent Voice"
SAME
Same here!!
you're the man dude
Same
ME TOO!!! 🥺✌️❤️
I’m so glad a lot of people started taking interest in ASL recently
Those who are Deaf and HoH are some of the coolest people you will ever meet and the least we can do is take that extra step to learn how to communicate with them
I'm a peer mentor for an incoming freshman who's deaf, so I"m learning ASL to talk with her. (: This will be fun!
How Did it goo!
good luck! :)
Who else is doing this during quarantine? It’s week 10 for me 😭😭
Week 13
Iqra Faisal week one
Day1 lol
Week 14 :)
This is week two for me and i learned a song already and the ABC's
“…Finger spell your name”
My name is Estephania…I’m a little screwed
Nah, just practice slowly. You'll speed up :)
😂
My name is ava I got lucky
You will get fast at it once you know the alphabet trust me lol
You could do Este or Nia for short?
I trying to learn ASL because I love communication. This language is the way to reach this wonderful people.
"you're not deaf yourself"
little do you know, i'm losing my hearing soOooOoOO..
lmao
i love ur pfp
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 :)
Me too, since I was 4.
Hi! I'm a student of ASL and I've been studying for a couple years now. I really love how you teach the correct sentence structure like SVO and Topic Comment. You don't feel the need to make it easier because it's a language like any other, you have to work at it. Thank you and keep it up!
I’m learning so I can speak to this girl at work. She’s the only deaf person and no one else speaks to her
Thats so nice of youu
im learning sign language so i can be wholesome with deaf kids on omegle and let them know that there are ppl out there that understand their pain
Just recently found out that due to sound damage, I am losing my hearing. I'm going to need hearing aids soon. Knowing sign will give me some confidence in the years ahead. Looking forward to taking the lessons and even teaching my husband. Thank you, Victoria. I feel very comfortable that I can learn sign from you. You have a gift of teaching.
Just recently lost my hearing, after 30 years of hearing, waking up to no sound was a Heartbreakers. Started learning sign to teach my kids so we can still communicate.
Me and my cousin use this for a “secret” code 😂
Anayeli Morales Lol me and my friend use this in class
When I sign I feel like Germany giving messages to mexico
Oh my god that's a brilliant idea lol
Should be: My cousin and I . . .
Melody Nguyen the Zimmerman telegram 2.0
I am learning sign to talk with a deaf cashier I met yesterday....he inspired me❤️.......also I am learning this to communicate in future with anyone and everyone in need
" do you need help" or "help" would be helpful too
Looking for this!!
@@katscratchfever3506 start with palm up with dominant hand in a fist with thumb up resting on the other hand and lift up with dominant hand to sign "help" :)
(Kinda like a 👍 lifting from flat palm)
the sign for help is putting your non-dominant hand out flat with your palm up and your dominant hand on top with your thumb up then bring the sign toward you and do you need help is the same but put the sign away from you with your eyebrows furrowed, hope this helps!
Me trying to take note wishing I could draw hands: ;-;
lol
i made a google docs and wrote down my practice words(words i learned from this video) im gonna practice the basics. i set it up like a little quiz where i go through the points and try and sign them all. it works pretty good. i also inserted a picture of the alphabet just in case
😂😂😂
Frrr😭
ikr-
How can I get more lessons from Victoria? She is easy to watch and learn from.
If you search "Victoria L TakeLessons" on Google, her profile will be the first search result. You can purchase lessons from her TakeLessons profile!
And very pretty :)))
Trying to learn ASL for this deaf couple that occasionally comes through my drive thru. Oh I hope I do good😅💜
I wanna learn sign because of a silent voice lol
Also cause you might need to use it in the future 🤷🏻♀️
OMG SAME- But yeah i might need it in the future :p
WAIT ME TOO!! I WATCHED IT YESTERDAY!
That anime is Japanese sign language though. Completely different signs
@@lulu_TheWitchBoy yes jsl we are learning asl American sign language
Same
I've known some things in sign for awhile, but I just recently started working at a store and there's a few deaf customers who visit often and I wanted to learn more. This is very helpful, thank you :D
bruh my name is literally victoria. This is perfect
my little sister's name is Victoria :p
everyone learning here, without knowing any deaf person, are the purest people and i love you for that❤️
I'm new to the field of special education at my local school district and I'm seeing a lot of hearing/non verbal children that don't have resources for learning ASL or learning simple sign. My goal is to implement a program someday so we can have those services for children that fall into this category and they may feel more freedom in expressing themselves. I took ASL 1 and 2 when I was in college, but I am still kicking myself that I didn't change my field of study to ASL. It's now 10 years later I had a recent desire to be an interpreter and I'm very rusty. And my confidence in my skills has diminished, but I'm working on that by learning more. This has been a nice intro back into ASL. :) Also, I highly recommend reading "Deaf Like Me." It's a true story about a family and the process they went through when they found out their daughter was born deaf. It's really lovely and gives you an intimate understanding of the deaf community and culture.
I'm learning this bc of my fav customer so that i can surprise her when she comes back to the shop after this corona thing is over 🙄 plus yesterday I helped this deaf couple and i said thank you in sign language and they looked so happy and thanked me alot 😭 i really want to communicate with them stay blessed❤️❤️
There’s this lady in my neighbour hood she seems really nice so I wanna learn so I can talk to her, she’s about 60 years old
You’re such a good person 🥺🥺💔💔
I'm learning ASL because I am starting to lose my hearing. I've been putting it off for so long because it's hard to process that you will be disabled pretty soon but also good to know that I can still overcome the fear with communicating by ASL. Baby steps!
You never know when deafness will hit you even temporarily, even when its due to some sickness like Ramsey Hunt Shingles, as it did to me. I was deaf for 3 months ! It left me with tinnitus badly when sound came back. You really need to have some kind of communication on the go, and sign language is great to use. You'd be surprised how many know how to sign ! Its' also a universal language and works almost everywhere !
Like the word dog for example, is spoken as a different sound in many language and be all different, but in sign language dog is good for all of them ! Like perro, dog = same sign in sign language. Father ,mother, are different words in different languages, but is the same sign in sign language for all of them. So sign language is really a universal language. I think that's great !
About to go on a date with someone who only speaks in ASL in about 4 hours, this is my first ASL video ever. Wish me luck
How’d it go?
Wow. Sign language actually makes more sense than I thought 🤨
I have only met one person who was deaf and it was a girl at a grocery store. I had came up to her to ask her a question and as if she had done it hundreds of times before she pointed me to someone else. I felt extremely guilty that I couldn't converse with her and I had no way of doing so. (paper/pencil or even a phone at the time) It was only for a brief moment but as someone with health issues and accommodations that go along with that I appreciate people understanding me and knowing things/relating to me. So, I want to be able to do that. I seriously appreciate this video and I probably will watch it 20x over. Seriously wish this was taught in schools as a requirement or at the very least offered.
I am also seeing a few people say that they are learning so that they can also "pretend to be deaf if they don't want to talk to someone." As someone who is not deaf/I don't know anyone who is deaf personally so I cannot speak on anyone's behalf, so please correct me if I am wrong. Is that phrase, in face, rude to deaf people? I had a SD and often found people who would say that they wish they could bring their dog everywhere and that never sat right with me because I bring her places because I have to if I want to be safe it's not a "want" as sometimes it is nice and sometimes it's a struggle. Sorry I type a lot if you can't tell haha
i'm learning asl because i just got a new job and one of my coworkers is deaf! i'm so excited to say hi to him tomorrow :)
I’m learning ASL because I work in EMS and want to be able to communicate efficiently with deaf patients.
One time a said thank you for letting me pass the street in sign language they thought a blew a kiss so they blew a kiss back 😂😂😂 that’s one of my favorite memories
Giving a high five to everyone learning sign language so they can speak with the hearing impaired. This gives me faith that there is good in the world. My brother shared this YT with me because I mentioned I have a deaf coworker and would like to be able to converse with him in ASL.
I’m learning this because of the movie Feel the Beat it inspired me to learn such a beautiful language
omg that is the exact reason why i am here too!!
Okay, imma not a deaf but when I will become doctor I would be able to talk and help those people who r deaf ❤
as a disabled person, thank you. i'm not deaf, but any accommodation you can give to deaf, blind, or disabled people means more than you might realize. even if it seems small, it makes a huge difference for us, especially with doctors. so many medical workers know very little about us and they don't care to learn, so thank you.
Good luck on that! The occupation you desire is truly amazing!
I find it really cool and hope I can learn it and use it when I meet a deaf person
Im learning sign language because of a group they put sign language in their dancing and inspired me to learn, appreciate, and be friends for those who use sign language
Me and my friend are learning asl and we have been just spelling every word out letter by letter! This helps a lot!
I appreciate you’re time ❤️ for me the signing was painfully slow
You can speed up the video if you want it faster
I loved that it was slower since she explained the logic behind a lot of the signs, and explained to use the dominant hand which I haven't gotten from any other videos. It made everything a lot easier to remember.
It's for beginners.
Who would even post this on a learning video?
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
I appreciate this alot because a new girl at my school. She is deaf. No one understands her sign language. I hope to help her. Thank you
