Thanks! This is really helpful. I know some of the alphabet letters but I just started them today so hopefully I won’t get frustrated. My problem is that I have not-so-good hand coordination.
For “chair”, should you always use your left hand to make the “C” and then use your right fingers to sit in the chair? It seems like order would be important. Anyway, great video! 🙂 I’ve met people who used sign language but I didn’t know any. I felt sad about that and it would help if I knew some.
but melissa plz let me know how can i see your signs? the written instructions do not alow me to see you
Meddling in Deaf language and represent as ASL teacher, tsk tsk. This is NOT even American Sign Language, none of them whatsoever.
@gerriecl not very good “signed English” from Canada or ENGLAND!!! or somewhere……now, thats FUNNY!
what is “bandana” and “not cool” in sign language? :p
I full deaf. Pretty different. Dance different. No ASL … Video confuse …..Thankyou gerriecl below..
@gerriecl They seem to be Canadian variations; but even still she bounces too much; and she is not relaxed.
I am not a very good interpreter but I can see she learned from some ghetto place I know thise signs and not 1 is right!!!! I would not reccomend, I would rather go to aslpro.com
Epic fail! All of signs that you do wronggg.. that’s incorrect sign language. You should take thr best asl class, not that crap signs.
It’s suppose to say “SIGNING”,
toolazytocomeupwith1.
WRONG.. only one right.. “dance” She is sick. Where did she come from? Who let her teach? This is outrageous. People inventing signs is hurting the deaf. I will thus invent different ways to pronounce words orally/ vocally for hearing people and see how they like it.
She did pretty wrong. I learned it different. And chair too! So um yeah. Nt to be mean but it’s
Not how I learned…
THIS IS NOT AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE.
THIS IS manually coded english.
Thsi person demonstrating these signs is clearly not certified to teach ASL (ASLTA); and clearly not a certified interpreter (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf).
IF ANYONE WISHES TO LEARN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE< THEY NEED TO ATTEND ACCREDITED COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES THAT OFFER ASL.
@broadwaymelody33, actually, ASL is what is used in Canada too. Or LSQ.
this isn’t american. its canadian and its different.
She’s from Canada, she’s a news reporter. They actually do have a mix of British and American Sign. It’s like a mish mash of different accents, if you will.
Expert village will let anyone on here, so don’t bash her too much. there’s another signer on the website who is better, as she is actually deaf.
Sneezy1996, don’t judge ASL based on this video. This is not ASL. SHE is the problem, not American Sign Language. She is probably signing SEE or some other junk, that she learned from a book and then decided she was an “expert.”
American sign is soo stupid!!!! It’s very, very different from irish sign
it says signing, not singing…
@Kerihilson7 She might be using a form of the British signing
um…did I miss sing?
I have learned alot. thank you
She does her P’s wrong soooo stupid and she changes constantly
it says signing……. lol
@MrBuTtErMiLkBiScUiT it isn’t singing it’s SIGNING. =p It is not hard to mistake the two, though. So it’s ok.
