  1. be aggressive, find deaf people to meet and talk to, u will learn about deaf culture alot (:

  2. im sure all the guys are like “ooh ooh I’ll talk with you!” lol

    is there a website or book you use to learn signs from?

  3. @bakaotaku you’re not stupid, a lot of people are under the impression that all signed languages are universal but what they don’t know is that signed languages, just like spoken languages, are highly influenced by the culture and history of the people so if Japanese people are different from American people in every other way like culture and spoken language, why shouldn’t their signed languages be different too?

  4. your are beautiful ji-ji, my goal is to learn japanese fluently, but i also want to learn the alphjabets in diffierent lanauges, spanish, english, and japanese, so i could at least spell things out lol.

  5. @mvoir33 So Japanese and Chinese sign languages share vocabulary, even with their different grammar? If so, then cool!

  6. I can hear eddie vedder’s Into The Wild Soundtrack playing in the background, nice!

  7. Wow, I find JSL amazing. I wasn’t sure how it would look but it’s really cool. I’m learning ASL to be an interpreter, and though I go to a class once a week, I have the same problem with not having anyone to talk to. From the looks of it you do it really well, and I noticed a few similarities between JSL and ASL. Have a nice day 🙂

  8. JSL must be very hard to learn alone. You can see some cultural aspects in the expressions. In both languages, showing emotion in the face is important.

  9. I’ve stumbled onto your videos because I now have to teach at a Japanese deaf school and it’s hard for me not to be able to communicate with the students well… I understand how hard it is to learn a language by yourself with no one to talk to so I hope that by now you’ve found someone that you can converse easily with! Good luck!

  10. Are you really trying to learn sign language by yourself? Thats great! I mean .. Its not difficult when your mom and dad is deaf but. Anyone im trying to learn it to. Just trying to make weird handmotions. I never seen anyone like talk so good sign language all by learning it themself. (without being deaf or having deaf parents) go CODAS!!

  11. some JSL looks similar to ASL, so i could understand some without the subs! ^_^ i feel proud of myself!

  12. it’s cool to see the differences and similarities with JSL and ASL 😀 you sign very nicely, keep it up!

    これからも頑張って下さい。

  14. what a beautiful girl you are. Your japanese sign language looks very interesting. Unfortunately, I can’t speak Japanese at all.

  15. woah!!! it is great!! it is pretty different from spanish sign language too!! but it is cool !! ^_^ i’d love to learn it, but by the moment i’ll learn the international system. please, continue learning JSL and making videos like this one!! =D

  16. I’m in ASL one at my high school, and a sub came in today and showed us the Japanese sign for Konnichiwa.. I was like OMFG , because I’m also learning Japanese at home. So I want to learn Japanese Sign Language now!

  17. I´m surprisend. It seems so different as our german sign language =)
