  1. 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.

  2. That’s how Canadians say sorry. If you think about it Americans are the one saying it wrong: “s-are-ee”, there’s no A in sorry.

  3. dogil – yeah on several of these, But after typing that ive recieve 7 responces, of huh? what? where? what do i mean?
    what captions / what subtitles?
    wich makes it More Annoying.

  4. Yes, you’re right. Some I think she copied wrong from a book. She has no qualifications to teach ASL. She is a Canadian broadcaster. Not one thing qualifies her to teach ASL. Find a qualified instructor of ASL, preferably someone Deaf.

  5. She is over-emphasizing words for the benefit of those learning! NOT because she is Canadian. I am Canadian and no one I know speaks this way- she is teaching. Teaching the hearing and the those who also learn from her expressions and from reading her lips. It’s a cadence that’s not used in everyday conversation: she is teaching.

  6. Thank you very much i picked up very quickly. Dont mind what everyone else says about your accent i think its really pretty. it makes me pay attention to!! 🙂

  7. She is signing, but not ASL. In her videos I notice a lot of SEE, and some signs she does I’ve never seen from English, SEE or ASL signers.

    It’s always best to learn from the deaf in your area.

  8. she says sorry with an “accent” cuz she’s canadian! and yes she is doing the signs right… anyways it helped me out 🙂

  9. Everyone who is critizising this person, STOP. She is too doing it right, at least the ASL part. She’s only slightly messed up on one word; and that was clean in an earlier episode. While what she did WAS clean; it meant the sort of clean like that TV show is clean, not like you clean the house. My friend is in college for ASL sign language. Yes there are other versions of some words….but she’s covering the basics well.
