As a hearing person who was entering a hearing and deaf relationship I have to say that I definitely used your ASL covers as my main way of learning ASL whenever my deaf partner wasnt around. I find it easier to memorize signs when I connect them to my favorite music, like how people memorize song lyrics quickly. Even my deaf partner enjoys watching your covers occasionally. So thanks, I dont think we would be able to communicate like we can now if I hadnt had your videos to get me started.
(:
Same here. I frequently look up ASL covers of songs because not only are you learning the words but you also get some grammar structure as well. One of my favorite ways to practice is to sign along to songs in church.
I know you’re not a teacher but you Inspired me to learn asl and I absolutely love learning
I’m really happy to hear that!
I miss "The Daily Sign"! So much of the Deaf and HoH community supported you! You helped so many people feel courage to be themselves. You helped parents with deaf/HoH children and so many others. What that small group of people did to you was wrong. They are free to feel what they feel, but you are free to express yourself on here. They took something kind and pure and destroyed it by bullying you into stopping. You may not have been using ASL (American Sign Language), but your Stylized "dance-signing" made for fun videos with great music and sometimes an awesome cosplay. True it was more PSE (Pidgin Sign English) or SEE (Signed Exact English), but that doesn't invalidate your videos! Those are legitimate methods of communication that MANY people use for various reasons. Some people in the Deaf/HoH community think that if you aren't Deaf/HoH, then you have no right to teach others the language, or use it in a manner that people may use as a tool of learning. This is something that is pretty split in the community. Some think it is a language belonging to the Deaf/HoH and should only be taught by those within that category. Others feel we should let as many people as possible use and teach this language so it's more accessible and widely known. It feels like hindered progress when someone like you is censored because you aren't Deaf/HoH. You should share sign with the world in song and dance if you enjoy it. I'm not, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, but I have a different disability and need ASL to communicate and I have to say it feels isolating to be in a store or anywhere outside my home without my husband (he learned ASL to communicate with me). Your videos were little rays of light and those people attacking you snuffed out that light. It's horrible. I'm sorry for the rant, I just miss the videos and feel terribly for how you were treated. You didn't deserve it, but I have to say, thank you for being strong and helping so many with your videos! *BIG HUGS*
I was watching your asl covers a few years ago and I'm now a beginner in asl, glad your still here(:
Ah that’s awesome (:
I really wanna learn sign language
There are website's you can use to learn sign language, I can send you the website's I use if you want
@@twilaslease5741 send it to me too please!?🥺
@@aniahfountain9973 the website I use is called handspeak it has a whole bunch of lists of signs you can learn and I use youtube every once in awhile, and spread the sign
Take a class at your local community college. 😃 I did!
It’s great you wanna learn! This video is for you!
Hey Lib! Keep up the great work Kiddo!
You speak the Language of Love!
How many Languages do we need for this expression?!
Hi Libby! The first time I ever saw asl to a song was your cover to Fight Song a few years ago and I’ve watched your channel ever since. I have been working on learning and I just wanted to say thank you for being such an inspiration in my life💙💙
I just wanted to say thank you for talking to me and helping me pass out them daily smiles but I unfortunately have to say goodbye because I'm dying of cancer, please 🙏 keep passing out them daily smiles, they WILL come back to you, I promise
❤
You helped me when I was struggling to communicate and struggling to learn ASL after losing my hearing! Bless you!
Hey Libbey! Your videos introduced me to my favourite bands such as PATD and TOP and to sign language as well, you kinda inspired me to learn sign language of my own country :) Thank you so much for all your work and what you're doing is amazing

Her name is Libbey 👁👄👁
Another ASL teacher is Mr. Wheeler. His channel is ASL That and he teaches across Indiana in high schools all grade levels. He is deaf and ASL is his first language. So if you need help and none of the sources she gave helped than try him.
Thanks for sharing!
I've actually been using Bill Vicars videos as well as his website to learn ASL! But I haven't taken a deaf culture class so thx for suggesting that!
Awesome!(:
Everything you said is legit . That's how I did it as well : Bill Vicars , HandSpeak and signing songs . One thing I add tho with every language I've ever learned is changing the language of your thoughts and with ASL signing my thought is helpful to get closer to fluency .
i'd also recommend the channel Sign Duo to know a little bit about deaf culture and get familiar with everyday signing .
(:
RUclips: Celebrates *international* sign language day
Also RUclips: Made a playlist of mostly American sign language
Bill Vicars channel is amazing!
Yes!
I seem your dollhouse video in middle school, made me learn some ...years later now I'm back to learning and remembered you! so hi. I'm back
on an urelated topic: your nails are gorgoeus!
I was waiting for this video! :D
(:
The Throne room is really cool..
Libbey, I know you've gotten a lot of negative criticism from the Deaf community so I want to share a little of my story with you because it's all because of you. I saw your "Heathens" PSE cover when I was a junior in high school, and thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I became obsessed with watching your videos and trying to mimic them to learn vocab too. I watched really carefully and actually tried to figure out what all of the signs were and how they fit together. Turns out, I had a real, undiscovered talent for ASL. I ended up majoring in Speech and Hearing Sciences and Linguistics at IU because I fell in love with sign language and knew these majors would allow me to continue using it. Now, I'm about to graduate and am starting grad school for audiology in the fall, and was offered a full scholarship to be a Sign Language Graduate Assistant. Because I have a full scholarship, I'll be able to afford going back to school after I get my doctorate so that I can get my interpreting license. You fully set me on this path, because I had no idea of the Deaf world before I saw your videos. So- there was a lot of good that came from you doing your videos. And I owe you a million thank you's. So much love for you and your channel.
Thank you for sharing with me
Thank you so much for the reccommendation n headsup for those you don’t recommend! The latter is always avoided on YT so I like how you presented it 🤩
I want to learn ASL but I‘m not in any contact with any current ASL users or any deaf people.
i am just curious about learning ASL and think it would be fun (possibly good for the world too) and I was wondering how to get started.
N ur vid pop up on yt search 👍🏻
Your organised pts are a great intro or 101 on methods to learn ASL for the hearing ❤! Thanks again! I will go check out Bill n deaf culture courses now～
Thank you for being you and doing what you do!
(:
I like Bill's videos. Sarah Tubert has a podcast called "What the Deaf" which is cool. My favorite books to learn from are by Mickey Flodin. They use signs in sentences which helps to immerse the reader in the language. There are also several channels that make PSE covers of songs. I find them helpful in recognizing signs and fingerspelling. You are my inspiration to learn signs as well as the patron saint of my mental health! You rock on many levels!
Oh awesome!
Excellent for this video Libbey!
(:
I've been trying for years, almost decades, and still need to learn A LOT!!!!
Always a learner to a second language!
@@thedailysmile Yeah, I tested out of ASL-1 at Columbus State Community College then took ASL2, ASL3 and Conversational-ASL. You'd think I'd be better, ha. But, that was probably 20 years ago ish. Sadly, where I live now(NE Ohio) I don't have conversations with my Deaf friends(Mostly Central Ohio) I made back then.
I took two sign language classes back in 1989 and 1990 and I had the book Signing How To Speak With Your Hands but I gave it away when I moved to Maine 25 years ago.
Aside from watching your videos for a couple years I would learn sign language by using the American Sign Language dictionary, although it was a little harder trying to learn from just a picture in a book
Ah I gotcha!
@@thedailysmile but I do agree with u, learning from a person whose a professional is way more effective
Thank you for your suggestion to look up deaf storytellers. I hope that will help me become more fluent; I sign with a young boy who attend my preschool but often he would just rather play😊
BTW as an interesting tidbit, did you know that the same part of the brain is activated when learning ASL as any spoken language? Cool!
(:
libby can you recommend any story telling youtubers who are deaf?? i only know one deaf youtuber who is Cheyenna Clearbrook.
who are your fav dead youtubers to watch?? who were helpful for you. thank you in advance! ❤
You motivated me to get back into it so thx 🙏
(:
I follow SignDuo and I recommend your fans to follow them because they do have a sponsor called skillshare and you can get a GREAT DISCOUNT thru them, Skillshare is college classes online, to clarify Signduo is a hearing/deaf relationship and Ellen is stillll learning through skillshare so GOOOOOO CHECK THEM OUT! You will be glad you did 😊
Oh nice
There’s not a lot of asl channels for asl learning/motivating I get it deaf people are the only ones that should have channels but good for you asl students lovers should still have channels like yours just like there is for all languages!
I gotcha
earlyyyyyyyyyyyyy love youy videos and love asl
Thanks!
Libby, I’m non verbal since birth and I show my aide one of your videos. My childhood friend and I created a ASL club at our high school so yeah
So glad to hear you’ve taken an interest in ASL!
@@thedailysmile yep
All children matter. All kids count. Make a dog happy fix a cat donate to a local not for profit animal or children's charity nearest you.
If it were not for you I never would have even thought to learn ASL. Thank you.
I am very impressed by your growth and openness in interacting with the death community/ASL. You have came a long way.
Thank you
Thanks for the tips. See you next. Love you
I learned a few signs here and there as a kid in elementary school because my best friend had an adult older brother who was HOH and autistic, I really liked him and learning how to communicate with him to make him smile and laugh because my like thing in life is that I like to take care of people and make them happy, especially the elderly/children and disabled people. As I got older I found out that I'm also autistic and have trouble expressing myself at times and signing helps a lot. I have found places online and friends and their family membersbers who are HOH and deaf. I still can't sign very well but I've been able to help a few individuals in public so I guess I'm not the worst ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(:
Hi Libbey! Been watching you for years and you inspire me so much to learn BSL (ik you sign ASL). I really want to create videos signing to songs but don’t know how to get there.. How did you start signing songs?
I just worked on how to interpret sentences and ideas and stuff. Takes a lot of practice, it’s a learning process
I would love to see you react your video from 5 years ago. I would be interested to know your current opinions about what you shared back then!
Not a bad idea!
Nails on fleek
@narmaK ngl? I don't know what you mean. Also interpreters can't have fancy long nails.
Haha thanks
Such an inspiration!!!
I appreciate that!
Yep
I think the method of signing to a song is fun. I think it’s only way I could memorise the movements. To have a native/teacher to do that and we can emulate probably is hard to find such so you are our best bet. What I don’t understand is that why in a song, you don’t sign word for word and that it would change the meaning? I am still new in this so thank you if you could explain. I would love to sign a song, so I wish to learn as much and not offending the community.
Hello you are so good at ASL
I take ASL in school
I’m in ASL 2
ASL is my first favorite class in School
thank u
Hi I started taking an online course called Start ASL, and I wanted to know if that was a good course for me to learn
For some reason my comment disappeared lol. Signing naturally books are really good and I got my first one used on Amazon for quite a bit less than the official website but I bought my second book there and used the online videos. Gallaudet does free ASL courses I’ve heard but I’m not sure, I took my courses online through Gallaudet but I paid and had them transferred to my college for my foreign language. The teachers I had provided feedback on video signs and they linked mostly to lifeprint and hand speak for examples/corrections for signs I got wrong. One of them specifically warned against signing savvy because they aren’t always accurate.
Oh awesome!
Ur my inspiration for learning to sign
It’s great you’re learning
Signing lunches have been the best way for me to learn... Of course that was affected by COVID but it was nice :D
(:
I do want learn signs. I like the brunette and blonde look very nice.
thank you for this
Glad it helped!
Thank you for my new shrt for my birthday cuple days
(: happy birthday!
@@thedailysmile thank u you should join me
What is your opinion on LearnWithAdrienne? would you say she'd be a good one to learn from?
BTW have you seen the netflix DeafU and what's your opinion on that show. I enjoyed it 😉
I don’t know anything about LearnWithAdrienne, and I also haven’t seen that show
YOU LOOK LIKE DEBBY RYAN
Hahah thanks
I am hard of hearing and I’m going back to learning Sign language. cx I grew up orally in the Hearing world and I’m learning ASL. :) I love learning Sign language. :3 because I never gotten the chance to learn Sign language when I was little because I grew up
wearing Hearing aids and I got by a lot with speaking.
It’s great you’re learning now
It’s great you’re learning now
@@thedailysmile Thank you! I don’t know wether to learn ASL or PSE. But I worry if I learn PSE I worry an ASL signer won’t understand me. :(
@@kikithedisneyfan5607 it's greast that you want to learn ASL. most Deasf people will still understand you when you are learning. I started with SEE, then PSE and transitioned into ASL. My best friend is Deaf and understands that sometimes I still struggle and we've known each other for over 30 years LOL. Just when you meet a Deaf or Hard of Hearing person who uses sign language, let them know that you are learning and normally they'll be patient and understanding.
@@TheWheelingDragon4013 thank you!! :)
What was the channel of the deaf professor called?
Bill Vicars, just linked it
@@thedailysmile thank you!
Hey Libby I had been following you for a while, I am in school for interpreting but not sure if I want to continue. I want to know what your doing now or if your still in interpreting courses.
I’m not doing interpreter. I’m in a masters program for social work
@@thedailysmile nice, I’m planning to move to Japan and become a translator and interpreter for that. Sign is cool but I’m more into Asian culture. Keep up in your social work pursuits🤟🏾
💓
(:
Hey! I wasn’t sure if you already answered but were you still wanting to be an ASL interpreter??
Nope! Social worker now(:
Signing naturally student workbook unit 1-6 the right one???? As I was just looking for one on Amazon to see if there’s any on there?
Yep!
hi hi :) may i ask what you studied in college? i'm not studying currently, bc i'm unsure of what i wanna do, but i still wanna go to college someday.
I started off studying ASL interpreting, then switched my major to Deaf Studies. Now I’m in grad school for social work!
What if you are from another country like me, I am from Denmark, and would love to learn sign language, but do not know quite where and how, can you help?
I don’t know much about other sign languages, sorry about that
Could you put the link to that Bill person in youre description?
ruclips.net/user/billvicars
You didn’t link the things at the bottom :((( @thedailysmile
My bad! I just added bill vicars’ link
I use handspeak and spread the sign and some RUclips like ASL rochelle and Bill Vicars
Solid solid
@@thedailysmile 👍🙂🤟
Oh great
(:
How are you
Are you very much good luck see you
You from
We have two clubhouses and two HOA's yet kids stand on streets not safe enough for me. Selfish adults
is sign language universal all over the world or is it different country to country?
Pretty sure each country has its own, but the most common one is ASL (american sign language)
@@loren9275 cool thanks for letting me know. I always wondered about that.
Not every spoken language has a signed language, however there are over 200 signed languages, more than one within certain countries.
@@redmoon6208 very interesting! Thank you for this information! I always love learning new things! ^^
I also agree with them too.
Anyway i'm from Indonesia, I just want u to know in Indonesia using many sign languages, different region,district or place also different sign languages! And FYI in Indonesia have many islands can u imagine that 😄
But I really appreciated to those who trying to learn sign languages 😁
#sorryformybadgrammar✌🏽
Where's his link
Just added!
Subtítulos en español plis
Your nails are beautifulllll
Thanks!
I r member when you used to actually sign everything you said
But now you don't. 😟
I don’t sign at all anymore. It’s not a secret
@@thedailysmile I know. 💛
You are beautiful Libby love your videos awesome video ĺove you Libby
Thank you
I know that many people do not know proper English, yet, they still open their mouth and make auditory noise based upon their best, but limited idea of their vocabulary. 2:00 if you point out a better way to say something, it helps further our collective communication. Perhaps the biggest tragedy is the loss of your choreography to do sign lyrics, demonstrating to the world that sign is not exclusive for the deaf, but the hearing also, can use the silent language ... perhaps because it covert and cool and fools the ever present, always active ear of big brother ... or maybe we could all get along and somebody then would offer you a better, more accurate, choreographed musical interpretation of a song like "Heathens" ... school you and all of us, if we can all be one of us too LOL ... you should not be silenced, and your fingers, your body, all part of your expression, like your voice ...
I think I like you better thoe just cuz that's just haw I am iam ues to you
Lol
Hi
Hi
Hi
@@thedailysmile I want to say something to you
Vote it's a right of responsibility. Foster kids need help now and when they age out too.

Safe bus stops for all children. Everywhere. Especially where I live.
I didn’t know you were going to talk throughout the whole video I actually shared this on Twitter but all you did was talk and you didn’t show any thing so I’m gonna delete the one I shared on Twitter
I spent 4 minutes listening to you not teaching anyone sign language and I don't know why this video exists.
Ur doing alot of talking, i want to see sign language
Hi dear honestly we are not interested unless you come back in doing sign language you had a major impact on my daughter as well as myself just had to express myself you allowed bullies keep from what you do best which was very encouraging so no not interested
Then unsub
You still crying.... to confirm I had to browse through u previous video . It feels so. Get back to ur old vibe.
Nah
This video is so tone deaf. You should be signing while speaking
