  1. This is one of my pet peeves… “Let’s learn Sign Language” and not specifying which one you are teaching is a lot like saying “Let’s learn Language” and then teaching French. Maybe the person wanted to learn Spanish. Maybe the person wanted to learn FSL and not ASL nor NZSL… There are thousands of Sign Languages… so please whether you are interpretor or just someone trying to help people, specify which form of Sign Language you are teaching; it’ll help reduce confusion.

  2. @Chadoacdc hi i like village expert videos, and am thinking of learning the nzsl but i dont see any videos that are helpful. Maybe expert village are using signs that may become a univesal sign language that everyone can understand. They have had heaps of views and its something i may consider using in the classroom as an exercise. So if your a nzsl interpreter i would like to learn the correct way, but there doesn’t appear to be a nzsl video that gives clear instructions.

  4. i’m watching these videos and some don’t seem right. the sign for owl seems odd and the sign she says in this vid for banana seems like it would take too long. i’ve seen people sign and they go extremely fast if they’ve been doing it for a long time. the banana sign she shows here takes a while to do which is why i’m now questioning everything she does now :/

  5. She bounces around like a bunny, lol. And she’s as tense as a verb. You should be more relaxed when signing.

  6. @beth4chris1 yes, she did if she was using ASL. It’s the right initial, wrong motion for ASL; it may be a regional variant (I think she uses Canadian variations.) However, the correct ASL sign is the initial W, with the forefinger touching the lips and moving the w in a small dowward arc from the lips (for anyone who needed to know.)

  7. @curbchallenged GRACIAS 🙂 …..yea ima just go ahead and go to a dictionary since this bitch doesnt wanna show me.

  8. @yoshy713 Absolutely better I’m Glad you clarified. by the way i would just go to an online dictionary to find what you are looking for.

  9. @yoshy713 holy shit you’re dumb as hell!
    “theres this girl that cannot speak, so the only way to communicate with her would be sign language”? wtf… people that can’t speak can still hear you dumbass.

  10. when signing does it matter which hands your using when doing the sign? im alot more comfrotable using my left hand i feel a tightness on my right so its harder for me to do certain sings like W’s. Will it make a huge diffrence?

  11. Sign language can be signed dfferently, just like English can be pronounced differently. No right or wrong.

  12. Hi Melissa…i had a quick question…theres this girl that cannot speak, so the only way to communicate with her would be sign language. Can u make a video on how would i tell her to suck my dick? Thankx…

  13. 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.

  14. Um, the captions on all these videos are for the wrong videos … WTF?

    Also, the Auslan (Australian Sign Language) signs for “eat” and “drink” are almost exactly the same (you generally tap twice for eat) … hardly surprising I guess.
