  1. What’s annoying is that people think she’s an “expert” in sign language when she has no qualifications whatsoever. Her qualifications are that she is hearing and “pretty” (ugh). Those two things have nothing to do with actual knowledge of the language or capability or skill in teaching. Her palm orientation for the concept “wait” is wrong. Making it not “wait” but potentially “flirt” if her face actually expressed anything. However, her face just looks blank or dead.

  2. yea i’m real deaf person myself, she’s signing we and look wrong.. and this kinda annoying too, thats not how you teach peoples sign like that.. I teach a lot of hearing folks how to sign but not the way she does lol.

  3. She signs the last few completely wrong. The word “wait” is palms up NOT down. With the word “we” it is smaller circle. With the word you it should not be forceful. The wrong impression may be taken if it was used as she uses it. With the word “Look” neither of the v fingers should not be bent

  4. Hehe, if any of you are pissed because of the descriptions, then just a quick reminder, don’t care about it! Here, we’ll never know what we’ll learn a surprise(:

  5. You are supposed to sign with the dominant hand. Also known as the one that you usually write with. As far as I know there isn’t a problem signing with your left hand.

  6. Does anyone know if there is a difference for left handed and right handed people? beacuse i am left handed and it is a lot easier for me to sign with my left hand. But i dont know if that is wrong or not. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

  7. i’m waiting for the ‘everyone else who want to lean ASL’ section of the site to come up, i think it’s suppose to be up in…august?

  8. Thanks. I started learning on my own (from books and videos), but then started taking classes at DEAF Inc. in Allston, MA. In the Fall I’m going to register to be a Westwood ASL student–learning ASL online using Rob Nielson’s website. He is a great teacher, and he teaches the language using the language, which I think is the best way to learn. It’s sort of like “instant” immersion.

  9. good luck. what do you take lessons from? a type of class? someone who personly knows the language? a book?

  10. That depends on what you mean by a lot. I feel like I know very little compared to what I want to know and hope to know after several years of study.
