www.talkwithyourhands.com Learning how to Introduce yourself in American Sign Language Part 3 of 4. In this video I teach basic phrases and questions to sign when initiating a conversation. Such phrases include “My name is…”, “Whats your name?” “How are you”, basic emotions or feeling to respond with and “Nice to meet you!”.

@TheASLFire Very welcome! 🙂
@BYUFanatic, bought yours! Thanks!!!
@TheASLFire I can understand your anger, but let’s educate them about the truth rather than “bulldoze” them. The ASL student who made these videos is no longer making any more videos. She probably doesn’t even check the comments anymore since she rarely logs in. If she does come back, once she’s seen the “educational comments” then perhaps she’ll realize that she should not have made these videos and will remove them and say she’s a “victim.” But “bulldozing” will only create bad feelings.
@jazzayfashion This is part of the problem. Hearing people thinking that we Deaf people are incapable of teaching our own language. Who would you rather learn English from – those who are fluent in English and grew up with it, or from someone who is from another country and speaks very little English themselves? The ASL student who made these videos is NOT fluent in ASL and is only teaching bits and pieces of the language (inaccurately too). This is NOT the correct way to learn ASL.
@jazzayfashion, you have GOT to be joking. That is insane. Please do not talk for all hearing people. The best way to learn ASL is the “gold standard” of language immersion. That means no voice. That means pure ASL, preferably taught by a Deaf person who is fluent and culturally Deaf. Signs represent concepts or ideas, they have nothing to do with spoken English words.
@jazzayfashion, ASL is a culture value of Language. It is not her business to teach. She is doing is a language abusive within culture abusive.
@TheASLFire honestly a deaf person cant really teac a hearing person to sign as easily. we, being hearing people need to hear the word to learn.

What a FUCK are you talking about? Is it your job to do this,…? FUCK OFF from ASL World,… It is deaf people’s JOB. Get lose!!! Remove the vlogs or I will horn deaf people to come and bulldoze you out and make your reputation bad due your oppressor! Trust me,… Removed all the vlogs and respect. Thanks, JC
@BYUFanatic, oh my gosh, you are right. Scary.
@Banerika Out of morbid curiosity I decided to take a moment to look at Tim’s channel and comments he’s made on other videos. Looks like his favorite word is “nutjob.” (That’s what he likes to call others.) It also seems that he’s an equal-opportunity bigot. (He discriminates against a variety of groups/cultures.) Being that he claims to work in “law enforcement” that’s pretty scary. Make sure he doesn’t pull you over for speeding. He’s liable to pull out his gun and shoot you. Nutjob indeed.
@TiminPhoenix, again and again, you prove you can’t think. Stereotyping is the issue. You are stereotyping Deaf people. That’s wrong.
Is that simple enough to penetrate into your brain? I hope so.
@TiminPhoenix Yep, I really do pity you. Unfortunately you’re short a few synapses so I can see that any “discussion” with you has, and will continue to be, pointless. I’ll let you continue to harbor your bigotry towards the Deaf since I’m done with this “conversation.” You might consider my deafness to be a “handicap.” But I view your unfounded prejudice against the Deaf to be an even bigger handicap. Perhaps someday you might be able to overcome that handicap. I wish you luck.
@BYUFanatic Again and again, you prove you can’t read. I never said all. But there is a large percentage that are loony types like you, who hate any person that can hear. And all you can do is to drag up a southern stereotype and somehow, for some goofy reason attach it to me? Your thinking seems more handicapped than your hearing.
@BYUFanatic, you did present an eloquent and intelligent argument, and you also reassured other people that Tim’s prejudices are unfounded. Thanks for doing that. I also want to thank you for being an ASL teacher, and working every day to educate people about your language and culture. You are the opposite of hateful, and you really are making the world a better place. So again, thanks.
@TiminPhoenix, you haven’t proven any point. On the contrary, you have embarrassed yourself. There is nothing hateful about any of the posts here, except perhaps yours. It seems you have a chip on your shoulder about Deaf people, since you think they’re all “militant,” “manic,” “angry,” and irrationally attack hearing people. That’s a prejudice that you have. Obviously it’s a deeply rooted prejudice, since the clear, rational arguments presented here do not seem to have any impact on you.
@TiminPhoenix I actually pity you. I’ve presented a very eloquent argument regarding your unsubstantiated accusation that Deaf people are “militant” and the best you can come up with is repeated name-calling. Being that I’m an ASL teacher, I spend every day in my classroom educating my hearing students about my world and my culture. I also interact almost daily with hearing ASL teachers to help them do an effective job. Yep, we are truly “hateful” indeed…
@BYUFanatic I find you funny. With each manic post, you show just how angry a person you are.
Come on, admit it. You can’t stand a hearing person moving in on what you think is your little slice of the world.
She is doing a find intro to a subject and all you can do is whine and cry about it. And the fact that you have other little hateful people backing you up, just goes to proving my point.
@TiminPhoenix, you’re completely wrong. I’m not Deaf, and I don’t think this student should be pretending to be an expert. She is not an excellent instructor, and I can say that with only a year of signing experience under my belt.
There is no “automatic hatred” being expressed toward her because she is hearing and “approaching the subject of ASL.” If a qualified ASL teacher who was hearing made videos with good content, no one would object. She is neither a qualified teacher nor skilled in signing, and the content she presents is misleading. The fact that she doesn’t caption is rude and disrespectful to Deaf people. All of that combined makes her videos leave a sour taste in my mouth.
@TiminPhoenix “Generalizations” eh? So you ARE a redneck then? You SPECIFICALLY stated “some of the most militant” (meaning militants in general) as being “the Deaf” (meaning all individuals who consider themselves part of the Deaf culture. I, unlike you apparently, understand and use English just fine. I also understand and use ASL just fine too. Which makes me qualified to tell you that your biased opinion that she is an “excellent teacher” is also untrue. You’re batting a thousand here.
@Banerika Another whiner. She is giving an introduction. She isn’t claiming to be the world’s best ASL teacher. She simply exposes to people the concept of ASL and does so in a fun way.
There are many deaf people, who are that great at ASL. They have their own “accent.” It just happens. I think the problem again, is that the poster of the video is from the hearing world and that drives many in the Deaf Community to automatically hate her for even approaching the subject.
@BYUFanatic Just because you say you are Deaf, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t also be incable of reading.
I never said ALL, I wrote “some” “many” and readily admitted it’s simply a “generalization.” But it is a generalization that you with your posts, did a fine job in actually butteressing. Thanks…
As to “speaking down to us…” It seems you mean actually, “having an opinion that doesn’t go along with your own.
