  1. I’m not an ASL teacher or a sign language expert myself, so I will not be making any videos teaching ASL. However, there are authentic sources of accurate information on ASL online, including a Deaf ASL teacher who posts videos on YouTube, “BYUFanatic.”

  2. iSeenthatB4, people complain when the information presented is misleading or incorrect. If you went to videos where the information was correct, you wouldn’t see complaints.

  3. I rated this video one star, “poor” because this person is not qualified to be teaching ASL. If anyone watching this really wants to learn ASL, find a real ASL teacher to learn from. On YouTube, there is a Deaf teacher of ASL named Rob Nielson (BYUFanatic) who posts excellent videos for beginning to learn ASL. I highly recommend him. He is slow, clear, and 100% correct.

  4. In every sign language video I see people are complaining, so fuck it I dont wanna communicate with the deaf… I’ll just give them the finger. You people are assholes !!!

  5. ThePridePanda, look elsewhere for instruction on sign language, perhaps look for a real ASL teacher instead of a person masquerading as one. Melissa has no qualifications to teach sign language and makes mistakes in almost every video.

  6. None of the signs are wrong!
    the subtitles are!! LOOK!!! as you watch the video! they are NOT Right.

  7. are the people at expert village on
    Drugs or just Dumb?
    the captions are WRONG on alot of their videos

  8. while that is true for all languages, it is also true that many languages have “standard” dialects . This is not such a big deal when dealing with variation among native speakers but it *is* a useful concept when people are learning a language, because we can judge how well someone is learning. I don’t know about the person in this clip, but I don’t get the impression she is a native speaker of ASL, so her wrong signs are the mistakes of a learner, not the legitimate differences of a dialect.

  9. I work with people who are mentally/physically challenged. Many of them are being taught Sign when it is hard or impossible for them to speak or hear.

    Although I usually just use the “sign” for quiet that most people use with just the one finger to the lips.

  10. Deaf and mute aren’t the same thing. Deaf kids can make all the noise in the world talking, they may not say things properly but unless they are mute they can make sound, and some noise is made with the body, bashing on pots and pans etc. Silly silly fucking question.

  11. It’s not wrong. Do you study ASL at FSDB? There is also different ways to say things. Even in speaking ‘yes’ for example can be; yup, yeah, uh huh, etc. And yes I took classes in college in ASL and I have a friend that is deaf and is presently attending Gallaudet. And we communicate fine.

  12. wow this is horrible wrong
    i go to FSDB wich is a deaf school she got anger wrong mad is the wrong way and quiet
    you can just shush them lol

  13. Learn from someone Deaf or an ASL teacher (or someone who is both), not from a random broadcast journalist who is just faking it.
