I'm mute, i can hear people, i just cant talk, would love for this to get upvoted because i feel like the mute community needs love in the ASL community

[jennashirk]

yall learning asl for someone you know like at school or something and im just over here learning it bc my brain said “learn it do it right now. good good now get hyperfixated on it”

[sophasourasyeet]

People:pointing is rude!
The deaf community:👁👄👁

[rizzpro]

I'm just learning ASL so if I ever interact with a deaf person I'm not gonna be the dude that just talks louder

[babygum-covers]

Im watching these. With my boyfriend because we both have speech impediments, and I use sign to talk to people when I’m uncomfortable and burnt out and he wants to learn it too so he can understand me.

Me: Practicing my sign language with a kid from school
My grandma: *wondering why I’m trying to join a gang* (she doesn’t know sign language)

[maydayduckie]

Me growing up: “Don’t point it’s rude”
Me now learning ASL: **casually throws that out the window**

(This is meant to be a joke please don’t be offended!!)

So glad I found this channel. 35, had hearing problems since I was a child but honestly no one took it seriously so I didn't either. Last year my kids started to get so frustrated with me saying what like 4-5 times in row, no joke. Went to a hearing doctor, long story short I'm basically on the edge of being deaf. I got hearing aids EXPENSIVE but they help SO much. I still read lips, I still use CC on everything and then I realized my hearing isn't gonna get better. There's a great chance I will be completely deaf in my old age. So I'm gonna get a jump on it now and get my teenagers to learn so I can actually communicate with my family in 20 years! Thank you SO MUCH!

[sophasourasyeet]

I said thank you to my friend in sign language and she thought i was blowing her a kiss😂😂😂😂

[CG-wrwb]

Out of the five people that I looked at their videos for learning ASL she is definitely the easiest one for me to understand and funny too

[KaiaKayak]

The serotonin i get from learning something new is literally why im alive

[andrewcepeda]

[roxy_sexygoddess]

my favorite teacher is deaf and i love using sign to communicate with him. such a beautiful language

[bethtaylor]

You are a natural teacher! Thank you so much for this video

[drebonez]

As a first responder wanting to learn all I can, I have found myself here. I love the way you go into detail. It helps me so much. I was wondering if you haven’t made a video for first responders and medical professionals like nurses that would be superb! I’m going to look to see if you have after this video. :)

I love reading the comments from people learning ASL. Remember to just keep trying to learn, keep practicing. It's best to stay with it and get involved in a group or immerse yourself into it. The old phrase "if you don't use it, you lose it" is so true. There are plenty of videos on YouTube and groups on Facebook that can keep you engaged. Love it!

This is very helpful. I like that you show the signs from different angles, and break them down into step by step pieces. I have a very hard time with facial expression in general, and most people find my blank expression confusing even when I am speaking. When you tell how to raise eyebrows with a certain sign, I can learn it as part of the sign, and helps me remember to do it. So many ASL videos say something like, "make a face like you are asking a question", but if I don't make any face to ask a question then that is not very helpful. I really appreciate the instruction on that. Thank you.
