I’m glad you started again. I’m going to pick up from lesson 1 and refresh my ASL!

[emmiem]

This is massively helpful! Thank you so much for what you do!

[beautybysyddd]

I like these. Can you do more of these short reviews?

[anlewi]

I really like this it was short enough it would hold my attention span which is a big problem for me. I've been using the yes and no with my service dog so that way I don't have to say anything if we're somewhere where we're supposed to be quiet. I also taught her good girl. Please keep this up.

[suzannehedderly]

I always find it interesting how some words are signed differently from what I learned *decades* ago. Of course that could be due to regional differences and/or language evolution. I learned "student" as "study + person." Words were initialized more often back then (I learned "ketchup" as shaking the K hand) but I understand the move away from that. Always good practice. Thank you!

[cenlamommyandme]

I love the format of this short review! Can we get these for each lesson? This is easier for review than the longer video. Thanks!

[sism]

Love this! Thank you! You are the best ASL teacher, and handsome too

[raymondlin]

Great review of the fundamentals. I really needed this. Thank u

[KikiDRose]

This is a very helpful video lesson! 😊

[LiterarySerenity]

Hello! I really love learning ASL from you, since you make everything so nice and clear.

Question: When you do the sign for "meaning, " could you use it in a sentence such as, "This sign 'means' stop?"

[paradox]

Dr. Vicars, I have a question. When you're signing questions, when exactly do you lower/raise your eyebrows? Only at the last word, or during the entire sentence?
