Great lesson! I still can't get them until you do the slow spell but I get them!

[fisheycrackers]

Im such a newbie at this im practicing everyday but I only started a month ago so I still have to watch at a slower speed 😂 I got aqua and bronze though!

Number 9 was the hardest to read. Number 10 was the trickiest to fingerspell.

[nadinefoltynowicz]

thanks for the practice 😄 the longer the word gets the harder for me 🙈 mostly because English is not my native language I'm not familiar with the fancy colours 😂 the easiest was bronze (same word in German 😝)

[shannonnielsen]

I got 5 out of 10. This set seemed hard!

[gabbydiaz]

This was hard bc i didn’t know majority of these colors so i just felt like i was sounding out a bunch of Mumbo jumbo with no meaning 😭

The fingerspelling in this video in particular was super cramped! Often you were signing off to the side a bit, letters like 'L' were barely open and looked more like you were pinching, and the speed was rather irregular. The speed changes a lot throughout words when you sign slower, because some letter combos are easier to move through I think (or rather, harder to slow down through?), and it seems like sometimes you start a word thinking "slowly..." and hold a letter for a while, then suddenly flash through the rest (like the 2nd to last time you sign 'aqua').
What would really make these videos better is practicing the word and the speed a few times before hand to get it even and get the spelling down mentally, and then making sure as you video that you have a nice pause between each clip you might edit. Like, sign "4th word" and then pause, adjust in your seat for a second so you're ready, prepare the word mentally, and then slowly lift your hand into place. There's no harm in having a little more breath between each time you sign the word. Either that or the editing process you are using doesn't allow you to get finite enough, because sometimes the clip jumps and suddenly you are already signing with your hand up and I missed half the word (like with 'aqua' again, the first time)!
