  1. She signed red correctly. I just looked it up in my sign language book. We need to remember there are several different version of signing. Yes she singed green differntly, but i do remember that green has a couple ways of signing. It all depends on who you talk and learn from. The main point is to learn sign language so you are able to pick up words that the other person is signing even if they are signing a little differntly. Some sings are the same; others have differnt signings

  2. 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.

  3. people learn in all different ways but yes she was wrong in some of her videos though it differs from person to person everyone does it differently.

  4. sign launguage differs in different places just because the books say one thing sometimes deafs do another

  5. iihtt is not wrong my cusin is sittn right here and tell me its right some people do different ways that all different wayz for signing

  6. omfg. really. come on i barely know sign langueage and i already know this is wrong. my 2 year old knows this is wrong. im not een kidding. he told me it was wrong. i was laughing so hard.
    he knows sign language he wasnt just guessing. what does that tell you about her?…

  7. Yes, she is all wrong. See BYUFanatic on YouTube for colors, numbers, letters, signs for weather, and a whole bunch of other stuff. He is Deaf, an ASL teacher, and most importantly of all, he is accurate. He slows down his videos to help people who are learning, as well, and is in the process of building an ASL site for people who want to learn ASL online.

  8. ok does that mean that her alphabet ones r wrong too? so the “G” she made was actually a “D”
    wow that makes this sooo hard to learn lol!

  9. Well, no way to sign “blonde” if “yellow” made so far from head. “Blue” looks like “hi” with ‘B’ hand. Huh? Orange: squeeze juice into mouth, not onto chin! “Red” is way too long. Are we indicating the redness of the lips or the neck? If she signed “pink” like that she’d end pointing at her cleavage :O My friends would immediately correct her, as they do me, if she signed that way. Like saying “blark” to hearing. “Green” initialized with ‘g’, not ‘1’! ExpertVillage, pls get a real signer!

  10. i learned the way she did orange was for fruit and it was different for orange the color.
    DDD: im so confused now.

    can someone point me towards videos or someplace i can learn that is correct?

  11. Yeah…her G is wrong… very misleading.. why did Expert village not take down her videos?

  12. Why do I keep commenting on her? I see so many views and I worry that she is misleading thousands of people into mistakes.

  13. haha yeah i was gunna say she doesnt do her G right…because she made a D.
    i know because my boyfriend is deaf…lol i was just watching bc i try to learn more…but yeah thats not how u make a G….
