How in sign language Videos

+TachiUk Deaf people sign and drive all the time. I think they must be more coordinated than us hearing people. :)

+Brandon Hyland Paul and Tina. Brandon was using my computer and I didn't know he was logged into Google. lol He never studied ASL but I did.

Yeah....what he said !!

it means improve

+Billie Durham oh I'm sorry to hear that

Thanks. I've been doing that. Now I'm trying to get my daughter to learn it. We use to know alittle and we'd sign to each other so people wouldn't know what we was talking about. But since she moved in with her father, she's rusty.

I know ASL and I learned by watching YouTube videos. Just watch short videos every day and I'm sure you'll learn to be fluent in a ASL like me

its because many signs are similar. so when they add facial expressions people understand the meaning behind the sign

Also, look up Amber Galloway here on youtube for some of her videos to get more expression inspiration. She was a professor of mine.

Yes... Not just Good job,Great job

That's amazing ! God is with you and whatever obstacle comes your way, don't lose hope. You can do anything through Christ. God bless you

awesome! Great news! ☕️❤️

+Kayla Eastman I couldn't have said it any better myself. Thanks for helping and understanding! :)

Oh, I thought that it might be a form of the sign for "conversation". Thank you, Kayla, I appreciate your help.

It is a form of the sign for "speaking" which uses the index finger to make circular motions away from the mouth. He uses both hands, presumably to indicate there to be more than one voice, therefore "voices"

My advise is to find someone deaf. You will know he/she is deaf because he/she won't be speaking but will have closed captions for the video. I always recommend Rob Nielson and you can also try Byron Bridges. There are so many, really. If you search long enough, you can tell who knows their stuff and who is doing this without the proper training and education. This is the language of the Deaf. Let the Deaf educators be your teachers on youtube. Hope that helps.

I hate that most people on here want to learn ASL because of a T.V. show. I mean it's great so you can interact with more Deaf people ( or deaf they don't have to be in the Deaf community) but you should want to learn for the people not for the T.V. show. And if you don't like this comment, keep on scrolling down and don't pay attention to it.

i dont know sign but my son is learning it due to hearing loss, so i am trying to find classes that will accommodate me does anyone know if there is an online class to take........and why are there so many people saying that she is wrong, but no one has vids to show the right way, i mean make your own vids people if you dont like what you see!

@simbafreak I didn't say I don't the show but I came here first THEN watched it. I mean REALLY it's the same crap " thumbs up if your here because of switched at birth" ITS FUCKING retarded SAB ruined everything. and yeppers I WAS I didn't like help I didn't want to give help for my own personal reasons.

Thanks. I'll be checking those out and searching more for native speakers. I'll still you nonprofessional like Sign Language 101 as they offer vast amounts of learning to get started. If you ever find a native speaker who posts regular lessons on youtube or anywhere, post about it.

She is great at what? Looking pretty and being hearing. Those two things she is great at. Teaching ASL? Nope, not great at that. Reason is, she actually has no qualification to teach ASL and makes constant mistakes. I suggest go finding a Deaf ASL teacher to learn from.

I don't know if you've ever tried lip reading a language you're not fluent in, but it is very very hard. When you lipread your native language, you figure out the words based on if they're moving their mouth the same way as you do yours for that particular word.

Great videos. I don't care if the titles are wrong, I'm watching all of them anyway. They are extremely helpful. I'm trying to learn sign language with my girlfriend and this is the first place I thought to look :) expert village. Much thanks for making these!

Yes, there is a right or wrong way. Regional differences are regional differences, but she is not qualified to teach ASL and that is why she makes mistakes. It is not a regional "accent." It is a faker trying to pass herself off as an expert. Don't be fooled.

bluestar123100, yes, anyone who takes real ASL classes knows more than she knows. She probably learned from a book. She has no qualifications to teach ASL. For some reason, expertvillage hired her or allowed her to post using their name. I don't get it.

cpachinojones1, just go look for a real ASL teacher, like BYUFanatic, who has posted lessons on YouTube and has his own website too. Unless what you really want is to just look at Melissa, in which case, go ahead, but you won't learn ASL that way.

can you recommend any free links or sites, etc? These youtube uploaders are all that is available for some non-native speakers who don't have the financial means (nor are lucky enough to live among native signers). Where else can we go?

The reason there are so many problems in these videos is she is neither Deaf nor an ASL teacher. She is a broadcast personality "acting the part." Please seek out alternative sources of information if you want to learn ASL.

OMG:D I love Switched at birth!! Me and my sister only got to watch 10 episodes though because we just use Netflix on the Wii:( but yeah I was in tears when Emmet ( IDK how to spell his name ) Spoke to Bay:D

I just wanna sign I know a lot but if the videos I'm watching aren't accurate then I'll have to start all over again I won't be able to know what signs are correct if people don't know what their doing.

I'm learning ASL in school and these are great because I like signing it to people who don't understand and them explaining to their faces what each meant

damn my cousin been cursing us out all this time well i know now

I laughed hard as hell when you signed "cock" and "jizz" lol.

Nice ! Now I know what not to say in my asl class haha

me and my friends fav is basterd

THE SIGN FOR BITCH OH MY GOD

I shall use all of these.

Uhh...

lol

+Spiorad I agree, I have been working on a translation of this song with my tutor, who has been signing for 16 years. I have been signing for a mere 2 years, so if I did it on my own, I would probably have done what this girl did, English as Sign. I can just see my ASL teacher telling me to sit down, if I went up in front of the class and did an English version. A more interpretive version can be seen by tiffany.T.hill. ALI....you sign beautifully. I have a feeling you are new, or maybe teaching yourself. Keep at it, and in a year or two, you will see why people are critiquing your video. Your signs are clear, you sign well. You just learn to get out of the English mode, and sign pure ASL. It's not easy, I am still learning too!! Keep going and bravo to your courage to put this out there for good or bad.

+Spiorad You're right. This isn't a translation, it's a transcription. It kinda sucks because there are deaf people out there trying to make a living doing this. :/

I didn't know that! Awesome!!!:) I've been subbed to you for a while
