1. Course Introduction: This course is a collection of tips, thoughts, ideas, pondering, reflections, all designed to help you enrich your American Sign Language journey. So I urge you jump in there, soak up the information and let it help you improve and have some fun along the way. Okay, here we go. 3. Tip #1 | Use Your Dominant Hand: Here is an ASL tip. Let's talk about using your dominant hand. E.g. I'm right-handed, That's my dominant hand. I write with it, I throw with it. I scratched my ear with it. It's just my dominant hand when I use all the time. So I signed with it, I fingerspell with it. This is my dominant hand. I would call this one my non-dominant hand because it's like in a supporting role for my dominant hand is comfortable. It's how I do it. Now if you're a lefty, your left hand would be your dominant hand and your right hand would be your non-dominant hand, right? So you can fingerspell, sign using your left hand as the dominant one, the one who leads the charge, right? I'm right handed. I'll be using this one throughout the course. You're going to hear me say, I'm right-handed. This is my dominant hand with the non-dominant hand mic, right? I will direct you what hand does, what does what, and I'll say dominant hand. I'll say non-dominant hand right now I'll do it from a right-handed person's perspective because that's what I am. But when I hear, when you hear dominant and non-dominant and you're, if you're a lefty, well, it's easy. Dominant hand for Lefty, non-dominant hand. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay. If you're one of those incredibly fortunate people who's ambidextrous. You can do things equally well with both hands. Well, first off, I say my hats off to you, I'm jealous. It's such a wonderful, it would be a wonderful skill to have. I would love to be ambidextrous. But keep in mind for sign language, you're going to have to pick one hand, alright, pick one and stick with it. Alright? The idea is, even though you have the ability to do both equally well, you stick with one hand for clear communication. Alright? Now if you're signing with so many of our history, you're just reading whatever with this person and suddenly you switch hands. Now it's not impossible to understand, but it just throws a possible kink in the chain, right? It's just not quite the same as it was before. There could be a communication barrier is possible. Now, are there situations where me as a right-handed signer, I might sign with my left hand. I might even fingerspell with my left hand. Yes, language is flexible. Asl is flexible. The general idea is to choose one hand and stick with it. But let's say life happens. Alright? Let's say I'm walking around, I'm holding my daughter. I'm holding my daughter with my right arm and I need to sign something. Well, should I just toss her over? I just I need to sign with my right hand. No. Just use your right hand for wherever you're doing. Hold on your kid, holding your groceries, whatever, and then just sign with your left hand. There's no rules. There's no hard and fast rule that said you have to do things in life only one way. Same thing if you're left-handed, you use in your left hand to catch something or hold something and it's kinda indisposed at the moment. Well, why not sign with your right hand? If we didn't do it would be like wasting our resources. Okay. So yes, there are situations where it's just fine to sign with the opposite hand, even if you want to practice. Why not? Once you get out and communicating with people, the general idea, with exceptions that may happen, but the general idea is to choose one hand as the dominant hand for signing for finger spelling, it just sets a great foundation for more clear communication. Okay, So we just talked about how to use your dominant hand and y. So this was an ASL to Wonderful. 4. Tip #2 | Mistakes Are Necessary: Asl tip. The tip is Mistakes are necessary. Okay, let's take a little mental journey here for a moment. Imagine a beautiful world where we didn't freak out when something went wrong, when we made a mistake, we made an error. Instead, we didn't see it as a mistake. We saw it as a learning experience. Right? Now this is a journey I am still working on, improving on. But just to have a piece of that mindset to see mistakes as something that are necessary part of the journey. Wow, that can push us, pushes the head room, we need the boost. Okay? I urge you as you embrace mistakes to be more like a child. Now there's a pretty good chance you were once a child. Now, when you are just kids, they find something new there into something holy cow, their imagination, their curiosity, their wildness factor, whatever is incredible, It's intoxicating. Just wanted to be rounded and just soak it up. Now, when they're doing something, when kids into learning something, whatever it is in something doesn't work or breaks down, or There's a mistake, what do they do? Well, it depends on the kid more often than not when especially when they're this age. Well, they look at it and they just find a way to keep going. They replace it, they fix it, they move forward. Their energy is just in their curiosity is so strong that they wanted so bad that mistakes are, or what's the mistake? It's like a bump in the road. I'll find my way. I will find my way a half. Now. Why did we lose that as adults? I don't think we lose it completely. We just kinda turn down the volume. Now if we embrace the curiosity of a child as an adult with our life experience. Now the possibilities are just incredible, absolutely incredible. Now the mind, the mind gap that we've got to cross and get to is that mistakes are a part of learning into, if we stop looking at them as mistakes and look at them as learning opportunities, right? What's the quote? Either I win or I learned? Doesn't say anything about failure. It doesn't say anything about mistakes. It says, I learn. Haha, yes. Okay. Another thing to keep in mind is you embrace your mistakes, right? Remember why you started? Alright, so here this is ASL could be for anything in life That's your, your journey is, is part of your journey. This course, ASL, ASL journey. I would urge you when things get tough and they will, when things get boring and they will be boring, it's just part of the process. The end goal is what we're trying to achieve, right? Improving skills, all that stuff. Remember why you started? Wow, there could be 1,000,001 reasons why you started. I want to know their language. I think sign language is cool. I saw it on TV. They're doing on their TV show. You mean, I can learn that, well, cool. There's a deaf guy. He comes in where I work and I'd like to have more conversation, a bill to speak with, communicate with them more than just writing on a piece of paper. A coworker sits right next to me. I'm kinda I'm reluctant to engage in communication with her because I just don't have any skills and sign language yet. Wow, whatever is your driving force, whatever sparked your interest in ASL. I mean, you're here, you're taking this course. This is a huge course. Well done. You're here, you're putting in the effort to get things done. Now, whatever started you on the journey, sometimes it's very useful to go back and take a break and remember why we started. It might just be the spark that pushes us to get through whatever difficult challenge we're facing in the moment. It's boring is difficult. I don't want to practice, but it's necessary if I want to get where I'm going, embracing the mistakes. Alright, so takeaways. Wow, admire kids. We got the ability to be curious and just move forward no matter no matter what we can do it as adults, embrace the curiosity and just that wonderful force of this learning that kids have. All right. You got this, this was an ASL tip. Hopefully it boosted you a little bit and you didn't take a break. Clear your mind, go get a drink of water, stretch your fingers, stretch, whatever. Come back. Let's hit it. Let's kick some butt. Okay. 5. Tip #3 | Don't Sign Small Words: Here's an ASL tip. The tip is don't sign small words. Let's be more clear. When I say small words, we're talking about small English words, am, are, was, were, AND there's probably some other ones, but those small ones which basically make it grammatically correct in English, but they just link stuff together in ASL. We're not going to sign them, throw them out. Okay, so here's an example. In English, the woman is happy. Alright, we have the, we have is because those are words that make your grammatically correct in ASL. Woman happy. Now, look at it this way. Asl is very efficient. It's effective, it just goes for meat. It just goes for what's most important to convey the concept. Alright, so you just go, woman, happy. Write in English the woman is happy in English. If you say woman, happy, woman, harpy, you sound kinda like caveman is like a caveman right? In ASL when you sign woman, happy, it's completely irregular, it's completely normal. Alright, so think of it just going for the meat, the small words down there and english, their amount ASL, not going to use them. Here's another example. In English. How are you? Alright, in ASL, right? Go straight for how you, That's it for the eyebrows to make sure it's a question. We WH question. That's it. The r. Throw it out, just go for the meat. The most important, which is going to communicate the concept. Okay, so we just talked about don't sign small words. Now, once again, these small words or this small English words, am are, was, were in the end. The words in English, which is Megan, grammatically correct, but in ASL or unnecessary and not signed. Okay. Don't sign the small English words like that. This was in ASL tip. 6. Tip #4 | Your Learning Style: Here is an ASL tip. Let's talk about your learning style. Now. Obviously, I'm not there with you. We're not doing this one-on-one in the same physical location. So I don't know your specific learning style or your history. However, I've been teaching long enough in classrooms one-on-one to know that each individual student has their own specific learning style. And it's wonderful, especially when you can tailor it to them and it just, wow, they blossom like a flower. Okay, so in this course there's a lot of material. It's a wonderful opportunity to just blast or skills through the roof. Now, it's on you. It depends how you want to approach it. Do you wanna do all lessons, each individual lesson, all of the parts, all the way through and watch everything. Do you want to speed it up? You want to slow it down. Change the video speed to adapt with your format of learning how you best absorb things. You want to just do a few parts and then move to the next one that's going to be on you. And I urge you to experiment with what works, what I've tried in the past and what I've learned while teaching students is that once we get to review and testing, well, suddenly all of these parts become very important. And if a student has worked their way through all of these parts, it's much, much greater chance that they'll have a successful experience on the review and even more on the testing. The thing about learning is you get out of it, what you put into it, right? It depends on you, which is sometimes frustrating, but at the exact same time, it is an opportunity, alright, so I get out of it. What I put into it. Well, wow, seems like tough. I going to have to put a lot of work into it or you mean So it depends on me. So I don't have to go through someone else to get my success. I can do it myself. Who while now that's empowering. That's an opportunity by golly, I can jump in and get stuff done. Just kick some butt. Okay. So, you know your learning style. You can work with it. I do urge you my own learning style. I need to push myself, right? I don't know if it's human nature, call it what you want, but we get lazy, we get tired, or we choose to study at times in the day when we have low energy or schedules. All just right. It's on us and it's a wonderful opportunity because it depends how bad do we want it and if we wanted bad, holy cow are learning. Could you just take off like crazy? Right? Depends on us and we often we have to push ourselves, but pushing ourselves, wow, the payoff is phenomenal. It's absolutely phenomenal. I urge you to take a look at your learning style. How do you do it? How do you best retain information? Is it with practices it with repeating, is with slowing down the videos, is it speeding up the videos? What works with you? Either way more likely than not, you're going to have to push yourself. And that's awesome because then you can explore new levels in life. I pushed myself a little bit harder. Things look different from up here. Much more possibility? Yes. Okay. So we just explored your learning style. Obviously, I'm not there with you, but everybody has their own learning style. And I urge you to embrace your learning style and push. You can do it pushed herself, need to take breaks. That's fine. You come back while you got another since renewed energy to jump in and kick some butt. Okay. Enough of me rambling. This was an ASL tip. Awesome. 7. Tip #5 | Left Handed Signers: Asl tip. This tip is directed specifically for left-handed signers. Or if you're right-handed and you know, someone whose sines left hand and they have a question, somebody like that. Okay, so I'm right-handed, That's my dominant hand. This is the hand that I used to write with throw with them just comfortable signing and finger spelling with my right hand. So I use my right hand. All right. Now if you're a lefty, your dominant hand is your left hand. Well, use it. Yes, embrace it. Okay, the idea here is that it's like a reflection. Like a mirror. Alright, so e.g. if I sign leave or like go out leave. Now I'm right-handed, I'm going to use my right hand is my dominant hand. I go like this. Now you're lefty. You'll just mirror, like reflection of what I did. Alright, so I go over here. Your left knee go over there. Same handshape, same motion, just in the other way because your left ear. Alright. Another one might be we, the pronoun, we are good like this. We, since I'm right-handed, I start over here on my right side and I go over here, your left d, like that and go from the other side, right? Throughout this course, you'll hear me often say, I'm right-handed, this is my dominant hand. I'll start with this one of the dominant hand, put it here. Non-dominant hand put it here. So if your left knee dominant hand for you would be this one non-dominant hand here is kind of the supporting one. Just follow the instructions even though I'm doing it from a right-handed person's point of view. I'm still seeing dominant and non-dominant hand, which makes it easy. Okay. So this was an ASL tips specifically for left-handed signers. Idea is that it's like a reflection. Just sign the other side using your left hand. Alright. This was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 8. Tip #6 | Adjust Video Speed: Here is an ASL tip. Let's talk about an incredible adjusting the video speed for the lessons in this course. Alright, now we all have our own learning style. And the objective is for you to get the most out of this course that you can write. That's the whole idea for you to learn like crazy, Have fun, and just absorb this stuff. Now because you have your own learning style, perhaps you find that I'm signing a bit quickly. There's something that you didn't quite get and you want to have me go repeat it and have it a little bit slowed down. Hi, adjust the Video Speed, right? Just use the video controls. Pause the video, lower the speed, rewind a little bit and do what you need. Let's say in another part, man, he's signing so slowly, I think we could go a little bit quicker. Adjust the video speed. It's your world, That's your experience. Like I said before, the goal here is for you to get as much as you can out of this course is for you. You're here, enjoy it, absorb it, tweak things as necessary to enhance your experience. Yes, it's an opportunity. Adjust the video speed. Okay. So we just talked about adjusting the video speed if you need to feel free, I won't be offended. I'm just digital, I'm just the video. Go faster, slower or whatever you need to help you get the stuff, get the signs, learn them, and improve your skills. This was an ASL dip, fabulous. 9. Tip #7 | Facial Expressions Are Key: Okay, Here's an ASL tip about facial expressions. Emphasis on the exclamation mark facial expressions. Yes, so important, essential key. Wonderful. Okay, let's take an example so you can see it in practice. So we have nice simple sentence here. I bored or an English, I'm bored or I'm bored in ASL would just go, I board. Okay, so let me show you robot mode. Like neutral, no emotion. Okay, not too bad, right? You can understand the signs, but what if I go like this? Okay, the signs are the same. The body movement I embellished becomes different. Now the signs are the same, but I suddenly conveyed, communicated more information that I'm bored out of my skull, right? Okay, now in English, we might use inflection in our voice plus some body signals that as well, I'm bored or I'm bored. Uh-huh. Well, in ASL it's very similar. Just use facial expressions to enhance or not, depending on the situation. It was not a big deal. If it's something you just got to communicate that this situation, socks and your soul. It's so boring. Right? I urge you use facial expressions. Get the signs down. Once you have the signs, the facial expressions will follow. And I urge you as well to observe, just watch, watch people in the deaf community, advanced signers, people who've been signing and around the deaf community for their whole life for a really long time. It just is natural when you're learning it. It might feel kinda awkward to embellish too much. It's like I'm trying to act or something. Well in the deaf community, it's such a visual language that not doing that and not put an extra facial expressions and stuff is actually lowering the level of communication. Now we want to raise the level of communication. Sign language is all about visual movement, making actions, making it happen, It's alive and to not do it, lower communication. Add those facial expressions, body movements enhance the situation and the communication. Okay? So facial expressions, essential, key, fundamental, very useful. Sharing the information and just describing the situation. This was an ASL tip. 10. Tip #8 | Clear Communication Not Speed: Here is an ASL tip. That's right. Let's talk about clear communication, not speed as in the goal. The goal is clear communication not speed. So you've been learning, you're around other people that learn and you might be thinking, well, I need to sign fast, I need to assign faster. Well, what happens? Well, let's see. I sign like so freaking fast as my, my hands are a blur. And people were like, wow, he's signing fast, but I have absolutely no idea what he's signing. So the goal is not speed. The goal is ultimately clear communication right? Now, a wonderful thing about this is when you start signing and you improve in your skills or boosting and you're making progress, your speed by default will increase. Wonderful, wonderful. So because there's a greater goal, clear communication as a byproduct, your speed and cruise increases as well because you just get used to it. You're signing because more fluid and yeah. Uh-huh. Okay. So you may feel pressure that you need to sign quicker. I would urge you to try to check yourself for a moment and be like, Okay, okay. The goal is clear communication, which means I need to learn these signs well, not just kind of low-quality, just doing them and trying to get them quick is going to suffer. The quality is going to suffer if you put in the time and the effort to get out high-quality signs, guess what? You'll have high-quality communication. If you do low quality work, you get low quality communicates with more frustration. Alright? Clear communication. Clear communication is the goal, not speed. Alright, This was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 11. Tip #9 | Verb Tenses: Asl tip. Here we go. Let's explore and talk about for a moment verb tenses in ASL. Okay, Now if your native language is English, well, you grew up doing tenses, English tenses, verb tenses, past tense, boots or whatever, and it just feels natural. If you've studied romance language, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, you're like, yeah, verb tenses. If you're a non-native speaker, let's say you're from China or from Russia or a different language that does not use verb tenses by Indonesian. Uh-huh. Well, you're like English, alright? Verb tenses. Alright. Okay. Point is, in English, we're going to conjugate the verbs in ASL. We're not going to conjugate the verbs. If you think about it, it makes sense you're not going to conjugate a sign. So if you have leave, You're not going to conjugate that sign to mean left. No, the sign is gonna be the same, the movement, the handshape gonna be the same, alright? But what you will do to show timeframe, past, present, future, stuff like that is you're going to add a word, right? A time indicator, another sign which is going to transport us wherever we need to go and we're going to the past, we go into the present, we're going in the future. So e.g. before already yesterday, last week, now later tomorrow, next week, next year. Alright, so you see where I'm going here. These are time indicators. There are even used in English, right? So it's not like a brand new thing that we're exploring. But these time indicators added two sentences in ASL will put us wherever we want to be in the past, present, future. So let's take a couple, Let's take a look at an example. Simple, simple sentence. English, he drinks. Great. Asl he drink. Now in English, the infinitive or the base form of the verb is to drink. Right? Now in ASL, the base form, the sign is drink, drink. Alright, so no matter what tents were in, doesn't matter where in the future, present, past. We're still going to sign drink. Alright, let me show it to you. Well, first let's sign this. He, he drink. Alright. And we're going to assume before we move forward, whenever you do a sign. So in this case, drink, he'd drink. It's automatically assumed you're in the present, simple present, present tense. Alright, so it's happening now. He drink. If you really need to emphasize that it's happening right now, you can add in now or sign like that now. Like he's drinking now. Let's take a look. Yes. Right now. He drink, right? So he's drinking even English. You could even say now he's drinking his drinking now, right? So we look at drink, the sign. It's not magically conjugated exactly the same. Drink. Drink, right? Don't conjugate verbs in ASL, conjugate verbs in English, Romance language, languages in other languages around the world. Okay, So let's sign this. Here we go. Now he drink, maybe he's over there. Alright, now he drink. Alright, so it's, it's happening now he's drinking. Let's do, he drank. So an ASL past tense, we had to conjugate the verb, ASL, the verbs the same drink over adding in a time indicator. So before he drink, uh-huh. It's in the past. He already drank. It's over before he drink. Okay. So when you see sentences like this and we're looking at, okay, That's how it's Signing ASL. But I know in English we were to conjugate the verb. Well, we don't conjugate the sign, so I'm just going to put it up here in present tense because the sign is the same. Drink. If it's in the future, it's still drink. Past is still drink a half. We need other time indicators. Alright, let's move forward. Okay. He drank yesterday, right? Conjugated put it past tense yesterday. Yesterday. Where's he always up there? He drink yesterday. She drink or whoever. Right. Time indicators, same sign, Same verb sign. He will drink. Let's go to the future. In English, he'll drink or he will drink. He will drink. Uh-huh. Base sign drink is still the same. He'll drink tomorrow. Alright. So tomorrow he drink. We don't have to sign will if we stick in tomorrow. So already assumed it's tomorrow, It's in the future. We don't need will be wanted. You could, you could say tomorrow, he will drink a little bit redundant, but it's definitely a possibility because language is flexible. Uh-huh. Alright. Let's see. There. Tomorrow, he will drink. Uh-huh, uh-huh. So time indicators, but that verbs sign is staying the same. Drink, drink. Right? Let's try this one. Alright. Next week, he drink. You must be very thirsty right now and he's got to wait until next week, an English he'll drink next week in ASL, next week he'd drink. Okay, so to sum up, verb tenses in ASL, don't conjugate the verbs. Leave the sign as it is. The sign is the sign is assigned whether it's drink, whether it's run, whether it's eat, just leave that base sign all by itself. We're not going to conjugate it. We're going to add more information to the situation before already yesterday, last week and on down the list. And that gives clarity to the tenths future, present, past, whatever. Okay, Wonderful. This wasn't ASL tip. 12. Tip #10 | Hyphens & Concepts: Here is an ASL tip and we're gonna talk about hyphens in concepts. Let's go straight to an example right here we have the sign for. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Now when I write it here, I'm using English words, English letters, but I put a hyphen in between. Why do you think I put a hyphen in between? Well, in English it takes to spoken words to communicate this concept in ASL. How many signs does it take? Just one. Thank you. Thank you. So by putting the hyphen in there, combining the words together, it indicates that it's just one sign. Right. So thank you. If there wasn't a hyphen there, we would assume that it's two separate signs to communicate this concept. All right, let's take a look at another one. Excuse me, alright, in English, once again, two separate words to communicate the concept in ASL. Just one sign. Excuse me. How about I love you? The IL, why? I love you? Write in English three separate words in ASL. One sign, join them together with hyphens. That indicates a half. We're just gonna be doing one son. I love you. Okay? So we just talked about hyphens en concepts. The whole idea here is that hyphens indicate one sign when you have two words in a hyphen connecting them, it's just gonna be one sign, even though in English it takes multiple words to convey or communicate that concept. Okay, this was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 13. Tip #11 | The Rest Position: This ASL tip is about the rest position. Okay, so first off, what is the rest position? This is the rest position. Just hands loose, ready to waste, kinda just chilling right? Now if you've ever watched sign language interpreters when they're not signing, when they're just waiting for whatever it needs to come next. Often their hands are right here, the rest position, because quickly, haha, they can jump in action, starts signing whenever they need to, right? So the rest position. Okay, so throughout this course, you're going to hear me a lot scene starting from the rest position, the rest position, sign with me. You're going to hear it over and over. And I urge you to do it as well. It's just a nice starting point before we jump into this sign. Or when we get to review and testing, you're going to see me go like this. It's ignites cue, a cue for you to know that I'm going to start signing. So I'll do the signing and then I also come back down to the rest position. It's another cue for you to know that I'm finished signing, right? When we get into the dialogues and we have complete sentences, a question-and-answer. When I'm finished signing, I'll come back down here before I start signing, I'll be here as well. It's a great way for you to know. Okay. He's handling the rest position. Something's going to happen. Path he started signing. Okay. So we just talked about the rest position which is just going like this and then being ready to sign. Okay. This was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 14. Tip #12 | Staring At Hands: Okay, This ASL tip is all about staring at hands in the beginning. Now what do I mean? Well, when you're starting out on your ASL journey, people are signing your scene hands move around and while no one's talking and they're communicating, well, it's very common to stare at the hands because you're trying to figure out what the hands are doing. You don't know the signs yet. You're learning the signs and you're still making that connection in your brain with what the movements are and what it means. So it's very common, it's okay to stare at the hands, is part of the process. As you improve. Now, the goal is to improve and you become more fluent in ASL. Or if you just step back for a moment and watch deaf pupils sign or advanced signers sign. They're making eye contact. They're signing at the same time. They're making eye contact with whoever they're signing with. Alright. Just like in spoken English, if you and I are having a conversation, I look at you in the eyes. I might look around your facial expressions, your shirt, whatever we're talking about, something around. It's respectful to make eye contact, right? So people that are advanced in sign language, they're gonna be making eye contact because they've learned they're able to take in the whole picture. And when I see the full picture, the whole picture we're talking about eye movements, facial expressions, signs, finger spelling, body movements, and all of the above. Right? Now in the beginning, if you're staring at the hands, don't sweat. It's part of the process. You got to know the signs before you can add those into the facial expressions, the body movements and all of that stuff. If you're staring at the hands when someone's sign-in to you or I'm signing on here and you're staring at my hands. It's okay. It's part of the process. Alright, so keep in mind the goal is to make eye contact. You can even try and try to push yourself out of your comfort zone after you've learned some signs and I'm signing, tried to make eye contact with me and see if you can still understand. Right? Okay. So it's a journey, it's a process in the beginning, most likely it will be staring at the hands. It's completely normal. You got to make the connection, you know, what does it mean when the person's moving around their hands? Okay. This was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 15. Tip #13 | Regional Signs: Asl tip. Alright, let's talk about regional ASL sign. In other words, different parts of the country, US, Canada, signing the same thing in different ways. Okay, first off, before we jump into the ASL part, I'm going to show you a picture and you tell me what it is in English, spoken English. Right? What kind of beverages this how would you refer to it? Not the brand, but the kind of beverage? Would you say soda? Would you say pump? Would you say Coke? Now, if someone said soda, does that mean whoever says popcorn Coke, or wrong? Whoever says pop, does that mean soda and coke is wrong? It's kinda silly, right? The US and Canada is such a huge geographical area. So we described the exact same thing using different words depending on our history, how we grew up, the people we hung around with soda, pop, coke. It's all the same thing. Just depends where you're from. And more likely than not, you understand all of these three words, right? So you are able to talk with people who are around the US and Canada. You're able to travel around and know exactly what they're referring to. Right? Let's try another one. What would you call these in spoken English? Alright, the person is wearing, what would you say? Sneakers, maybe tennis shoes. Alright, so if you said tennis shoes and I said sneakers, am I wrong? Are you wrong? Should we get an, a big debate about who they actually are? They sneakers, are they tennis shoes? Or maybe we'll accept that. You're from that part of the country and you guys say sneakers. I'm from this part of the country and we say tennis shoes. But by golly, we're talking about the same thing. Ah, you see where we're headed here? So once we get to regional ASL signs, like I said before, the US and Canada, they're just a huge geographical area. So there are people spread out, different deaf community spread out. This often sign the exact same thing in different ways. So let's take a look here at a few examples. Pizza, pizza has many different ways to sign it. I'll give you a few. So pizza, you could go pizza. You could go pizza. You could go pizza. If you learn pizza one way. And then you saw someone's signed it a different way. One reaction might be, now, that's wrong. That's wrong. They're doing it wrong, they're doing it wrong. You gotta do it. How I do it. That's one reaction. Another reaction is, I wonder where they're from. They learned it a different way. Maybe I can learn how to cite and how they do. So if I come across a deaf person from that area or who signs it like that, I'll understand. And then I'll be able to sign it like that as well. See where we're headed here. Okay. How about birthday? Couple of different ways that I've seen to sign it. They're probably more right. Birthday. I've also seen birthday. I just gave you two different ways to sign birthday, but I'm referring to the same thing. Alright, now, same thing, we have the option, we see someone sign Birthday like this. It's wrong. It's wrong. It's gotta be like this. It's gotta be like that there are wrong, I'm right. That's how I learned it. That's how I'm right. It's a little bit absurd and it's kinda arrogant to be, to be honest, if we think that the way we did it is the only way to do it and everybody has to do and how we did it. That's a way of looking at things. That's one way of doing it. It kind of creates a frustrating experience as you go through life because you're going to find out quickly, especially if you travel around, see different deaf communities, interact with deaf people even within the same city. They have different histories. They've been signing things a different way. So if we go around saying, nope, no, everybody's got it and how I do it. We're going to have a very frustrating experience. Perhaps we could go around and be like, I've never seen a sign that way before. Well, this is how I sign it. What is your history? Well, where did you learn that? So why why do you think you guys do it that way? I'll cool, this is how I do it and learn this side. Alright, let's do another one, surgery. A couple of different ways. I've seen just a subtle difference on this one. Surgery. Surgery. Alright, so we just take out the pinky and another one, or we put the pinky in surgery. Surgery. Just a slight variation for this same sign. Now, is there a right way or wrong way, or have both ways already been established in that deaf community. And more likely than not, people who had traveled around and involved in many deaf communities probably know both sides, right? Right. Here's a very common one, right? E. How do you sign E? Well, I grew up in and around the deaf community signing E like this. Alright, I've seen many people who sign E like this. I've seen other people who signed it like this, like really stretched out. Alright, now, some of them must be wrong, right? There's no way they could be right if I do it this way. That's one that's a possibility, possible lines that you can have or we can try to be more understanding. Oh, that person grew up saying E like that. Alright, well, now I know, now I understand it. They grew up like this. Now I know. Now I understand it. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Expanding our ability. Okay. So basically, when you see a different sign that you haven't seen before and you've learned that sign, but it's different. We have a couple of possibilities. You can go nuts and it's not how it should be, it's not how it should be. I learned it this way. It's got to be that way. That's an option. That's your choice. Maybe not the preferable and effective option. Or we could be like now we don't have to get like Zen and Buddha leg, but we can at least be like, well that's a different way of doing it. There's an opportunity here. If I learned that way, if I learn how to sign it in that way, then perhaps I'll be able to communicate with more deaf people, more signers in the future and grow my vocabulary. Especially if you're looking to be like an interpreter or something who like moves around and deals with deaf communities. Because there are many oftentimes like pizza is worth many, many, many different signs which have huge variations or slight variations depending on the deaf community. And then an interpreter would need to be able to have more skills and be able to bounce around where necessary. Okay. So we just talked about regional ASL signs. If I sum up everything, the more you sign, the more you interact with signers, the deaf community, you're going to see different ways of signing, the exact same thing. Right? Now, I would urge you to look at it as an opportunity to learn different ways of signing the same thing and growing your skills. Instead of being like, No, they're doing it wrong. You've got to do and how I do it. Alright, it's a mind opening experience and opportunity, but it depends what we do. I find it sometimes surprising how quickly people want to attack because you're doing it wrong. That's not how you should do it. No, I learned it a different way. Alright? No, it's their life journey. They can do it that way, that's fine. It creates frustration for other people. But that's how it is. So regional ASL signs, I urge you to try to have an open mind about it and just absorb. It's wonderful. It's language. Language is just moving and moving in advance and in groin is vibrant. It's exciting, It's alive, right? Okay, so we talked about regional ASL signs. This was an ASL tip. Okay. 16. Tip #14 | Practice Makes Improvement: Okay, This ASL tip is about practice. And if you play an instrument, piano, if you do sports, if you ride a horse, whatever, something you want to improve in, well, it's obvious you got to practice. So ASL sign language is the same thing. We get out of it, what we put into it, which is possibly frustrating. But another view is really, I put my direct investment of time, energy, and resources into that and I get something in return directly. It doesn't have to go through other channels. No, we put in the time the energy of the resources, we get back out of it immediately. Sign language is just hands-on. I mean, literally hands on. The more you do it, the more you practice, it sticks in your brain and you can use it in the future. It becomes second nature and you flow become more fluid. Okay. I urge you practice, practice, practice. If you need a break, take a break. Take a break. Breaks are wonderful for recentering, recharging our batteries coming back and improvement in leveling up even more. Okay. Asl tip, Wonderful. 17. Tip #15 | Switch Pronouns With Names: Okay, it's time for an ASL tip, and the tip is switch pronouns with names. Now this might seem kind of obvious, but as you're learning, you know, there's lot of stuff coming at you when you're creating your own sentences you're signing. Remember you have the option to switch pronouns with names. So let's take a look at an example. We have she delighted, right? So maybe she's over there and we go. She delighted. Uh-huh. Well, if we know her name or we just want to practice making a sentence, why not put in a name? Lisa. Lisa delighted. Lisa delighted. Let's see another one. Alright. He dislike his coat. So an English Something like he doesn't like his coat or he dislikes his coat. Right. So how about we put he over there? We're going to have two guys in this case. We have one guy and one guy will go, he dislike his coat. Alright, again, he disliked his coat. Now let's say we want to put in names or we know the names. Well, we have Hugo and Seth. So now we're just going to finger spell and see how I just took the pronouns and just replace them with names, same sentence format. So here we go. Hugo, dislike Seth. Seth in English, we would do sets. We put an apostrophe S to show possession. Well, in ASL, don't worry about that because we have the name and then we have the object, or in this case we have the code, the noun, the proximity Seth code, that's going to show us possession, whose quote? Well, it sets. Alright, here we go. Let's sign, sign with me. Hugo. Dislike seth. Code. Now, maybe Hugo doesn't even like Seth. You can leave out coat and just go, Hugo, dislike Seth. Lots of options here. Okay, So the point of this ASL tip is as you're making sentences and you're learning all those signs, remember that you can switch pronouns with names and vice versa, right? Okay, So this was an ASL tip. I hope you found it useful. 18. Tip #16 | Sign With Me: This ASL tip is about sign with me, literally sign with me. That's why I put it in capital letters because it's the same as will be signing sign with me. You'll be hearing that a lot. Alright, you may get tired of my voice, but it's a great reminder to get hands on, right? No pun intended, but sign language is just so hands-on. You gotta get in there and get your hands dirty if you want to improve, right? I'm gonna be over and over sine with me, sign with me, and I urge you wherever you are. You're sitting at home on your coat, your standing in your living room, you're on the bus, wherever you are watching this, sign with me. If you want to improve, you gotta get your hands dirty and just do it and have fun. It's fun, right? It's just a visual language. You make that mind-body connection when you're doing all the motions. And if you do sign with me, if there's a greater possibility that you will remember the sign in the future. Now if we just watch and we absorb, all right, perhaps we will remember, but what we're actually doing it, it just add something extra to that mind-body connection to remember in the future. So I urge you to sign with me, just do it, get hands-on practice and have fun. It's just a wonderful time. Sign language is incredible. Alright, we just talked about signed with me. Alright. This was an ASL tip. Fabulous. 19. Tip #17 | The Power Of Can: This ASL tip is all about the power of can. Alright, Now think about kin in spoken English. Can help, can fly, can do whatever, can as a helping verb. Well, guess what? We can also use it in ASL. So here's the sign for can. Alright, so think of able to do something, ability uh-huh. Can, alright, the hand shapes are the same. When you use S is from the alphabet. I'm right-handed as my dominant hand, non-dominant hand, same hand shapes. We're going to put them about here, palms facing down and just drop down. Kin sides. Can. And if you need to, you can nod if you really want to make sure that you're communicating, that whoever it is, they're able to do something can. Okay, so let's get some practice actually using it. Put it in front of verbs. So how about can eat? How would we sign it? That's right. Can eat. How about we do can remember go ahead. Ken. Remember. You need to you can nod like the affirmative to make sure that it's understood. Let's do can try. How do we do It? Can try. You can try. How about we do a full sentence, nice, short, sweet little sentence. We can try sine with me. We can try. How bout they can complain. Let's say it's a group of people over there. We use day over there. Let's do it. They can complain. And how about ROS can learn ASL? What do you think? Alright, here we go. Let's do it first with the name. Rose. Can learn ASL. All right, how about you? You can learn ASL. You can learn ASL. You're already doing it. Yes. Okay. So we just talked about the power of Qin, this simple sign right here, kin, which in English, you know, we'd call it a helping verb, but just stick it in front of a verb, pretty much any verb, and you can describe the situation better, better. Can try, can eat, can remember, can study, you can learn, can grow, can, whatever. Okay. This was an ASL tip. 20. Tip #18 | The Power Of CAN'T: This ASL tip is about the power of Kant. So first off the sign for Kant. Alright, we're going to use index fingers, both hands. I'm right handed. So my non-dominant hand, I'm going to put it right down there, palm facing down, dominant hand, tip of the index finger and just flick down, making contact, flicking down and shaking my head to show negative. Cannot write Kent from the sides. Can't. Right now this is very useful in front of what? Yes, other verbs. So can't eat, Go ahead. How would you sign it? Can't eat. Now you might shake your head through the whole expression. Now this is just a little phrase. It could be a complete sentence maybe by itself, but if you're shaking your head the whole time, It's really making it clear that whoever or whatever they can eat. Alright, let's go to, can't remember how would you sign it? Can't remember how vote. Can't try. Go ahead. Shaking their head. Negative. Uh-huh. Let's do nice short sentence. We can try. We can't try. Alright, let's try another one. They can't complain. Let's say they over there, go ahead and sign it. How would you do it? They can't complain. How boat Rose can't learn karate. Go ahead. How would you sign it? Rose? Can't learn karate. Rows. Can't learn karate. Right now. Whatever the situation is, you can't learn it. So if you're shaking your head through the whole sentence while you're signing, it just reinforces the inability for rows to do whatever we're talking about, in this case, karate. So okay, good, good. We just talked about the power of can't. Put it in front of a verb and you have more complex, complex expression. Alright. This was an ASL tip, Wonderful. 21. Tip #19 | The Power Of NOT: Asl tip. Here we go. The power, the power of not. Alright, not, there's the sign for not, not. Shake their head, not use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. Not okay. Now what do you think? I mean, when I say the power of not something pretty straightforward, but if we don't think about it once in a while, we might miss out on something. Okay? So let's take an example. Fine. Alright, here's the sine. Fine, fine. Okay, so we might say, Oh, she fine. English, She's fine or she is fine. C, fine. Well, that's one situation. What if we just doubled our ability to sign by signing she not fine. Okay. So when I was saying The Power of Not literally in this situation, we signed about one situation. Now always sign about two situations. One times two is two. We just doubled. The power of naught is basically it's simple. It's just one little sign that you can put in front of many signs to get the opposite. I know it's not rocket science, but it will make your vocabulary grow. Not only that, it increases your ability to sign about different situations, That's important, being able to communicate. Let's try another one. Tired, tired. So maybe they, they tired. Right? See where I'm headed here. Well, let's do the opposite with the power of not, right. Let's do they. Not tired. Maybe we don't know the sign for awake. Right? Or we forget it or we don't want to finger spell it. Why don't you just go they not tired. It's as simple as that. It's wonderful. Short little tweaks like this in the language. Even in spoken English. I used to teach English to a student, wonderful students from around the world. And I would give them the same advice, Alright? If you learn happy, but you don't know the words for displeased, unpleasant is whatever, whatever. Why don't you just say not happy. Now we can't say it's like super advanced language level, but it's communicating and the other person for sure knows what you're seeing in this case. They know what you're signing by, just going not small little thing. I think it's pretty cool. You might be like, Yeah. But either way, uses the power of not use the power of nought. Nought, and you get a completely different situation you can sign about. Okay. This was an ASL tip. Let's move forward. 22. Tip #20 | Showing Intensity: Okay, It's an ASL tip. Let's take a look. Let's talk about showing intensity. I think it's better, more effective to show you, Hey, instead of explaining it. So here we go. There's sign for a lot is like this. A lot. Lot. Okay. Let me sign it in a few different ways and you see if you can understand the extra information that I'm communicating. Alright, here we go. Okay, So I did three different levels of intensity. We can say first I did a lot. It's substantial. It's not huge, but it's a lot than I did. Oh, it's a lot, but like a bit more than allowed. Zach, why? And then I dislike why? It says a huge freaking a month. Okay. So basically it's just embellish. Seen your face reactions, your body movements. So just like act, It's like actin right? To show the situation. But if the situation is real, then it's not acting. Here. It says, we're given an example. But if it's real life, it's like, alright, all that extra information. It's cuz they're accused to explain the situation, communicate what's happening, and just be more efficient when communicating, right? Let's take a look at another one. Lazy. We can also use intensity with this sign to describe how lazy. So here we go. Okay, Same sign throughout. Lazy, lazy, lazy, but I embellished, use facial expressions, body movements is the full package, total package to describe the situation. Now if this is someone that are just drives me up the wall, how lazy it is. Put it on your face, put it on your body, you put it in your body movements? Yes. Okay. So the idea here is when we show intensity, when we just have one sign, wow, there's so much more information we can add using our facial expressions, body movements, all this stuff, eyes opening, I intensity. Yes, it's wonderful. And there are so many possibilities because there are so many signs and an infinite number of combinations of situations. Alright, exciting. Okay, this was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 23. Tip #21 | Fingerspelling Insurance: Here is an ASL tip. I call it Fingers spelling insurance. Okay. So the idea is that once you know the alphabet, you're able to do the letters. If you forget a sign, what can you do? Well, you could start crying, go into a corner and be like, oh, woe is me, life is over. I forgot to sign. Or you could fingerspell it? Yes. And just be like, I forgot that sign up. I'll go review it, look it up later, but right now I need to communicate so I'm just going to finger spell. Ah, what an opportunity. Fingers spelling insurance. It just adds a whole layer of security, maybe even competence as we're moving forward, you know, the signs are coming. Oh snap that assigned income. Even in spoken English, we had tongue-tied were like, We don't remember the word in English. It'd be weird if you could spell it because that means, well, I guess that wouldn't work because that means you're remembering the Word. But in ASL is unique that you probably know the word or the concept you're trying to communicate. But in that moment, for whatever reason is flipped your mind. You don't remember the sign, but I bet you know how to make the letters. You could fingerspell. Alright, for an example, let's say we forgot to sign for wife. Hang it. This conversation is over. I cannot continue because I don't remember the sign for wife. Well, that's one way of pursuing your journey. Another way is to be like wife. Just spell it, w, f, e, and then the other person, possibly the oh, yeah. Wife. You'd be like, yeah, that's the sign I was trying to remember. Or maybe you'll learn this sign brand new. Maybe you don't know the sign in the first place, right? There is so many signs out there. Maybe you don't know the sign for wife and you fingerspell wife. And you're able to sign maybe the rest of the sentence, then you fingerspell the wife and maybe the other person will be like, Oh yeah, why? Then you learn a sign. So many possibilities. When we move forward, we make progress. We push to get through whatever situation. Not just get through the situation, but get from the situation. So when we're communicating in a new language, whatever language it is, you're communicating with someone else who is, at the very least, they speak better than you do or sine better than you do. It's like, Oh, I need to put on a higher skills and I need to show all this stuff. Well, if we just be like, it's gonna be bumpy. But by golly, I'm going to come out the other end with some skills. Hello. Alright, wow, what a mindset. It's going to be bumpy. It's gonna be awkward. I'm not going to remember stuff, but I'm going to move forward. I'm going to learn stuff more than I can imagine just by moving forward. Now they say, think outside the box. What if we acted and took action outside the box? If the box is like our own little comfort zone. What if we actually took action out of the box? Thinking, but taking action, taking action might be, well, I'm gonna go talk, I'm gonna go sign. I'm just going to jump in and we'll see what happens. And I will soak it all up, reflect on it later. But right now, I might just need to finger spell a word that either I forgot the signer. I don't know the sign anyway and I'll fingers, Bill. Ah, okay. So this was all about Fingers spelling insurance. Use it as your backup plan. If you forget a sign, you don't know the sign or you're just trying to communicate something right now and you just got to fingerspell. Why not? Okay. This was an ASL tip. I hope you found it useful. 24. Tip #22 | Two Question Types: Asl tip. That's right. Let's talk about the two question types that we're going to have in this course. As you're gonna see in this course. They are, yes, no questions and WH questions. Now, the difference, the main difference has to do with our eyebrows, yes, where we want to communicate. We're gonna be working the eyebrows now specifically for yes-no questions. Eyebrows up. Raise those eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. Pretend you're peeking over your neighbor's fence. Something's happening. Yes, no questions. Eyebrows up. Wh questions, eyebrows down. For those eyebrows have a wow. They kinda look. And yes-no questions to be clear, there are questions that you can answer. Yes, no, maybe pretty straightforward. Wh questions include how, what, when, why, where, which, WHO, stuff like that, furloughs eyebrows. So keep in mind, eyebrows are essential. Yes-no questions. I rose up. Wh questions, eyebrows down. Gonna get an eyebrow workout. It's just part of it because that's what we want to communicate, right? We're asking questions. Alright, so we just talked about the two question types that will be in this course. Wh and yes-no questions. Wonderful. 25. Tip #23 | Don't Conjugate Verbs: Asl tip, Let's do it. Okay, don't conjugate verbs in ASL. So in English, we conjugate verbs, right? If you've studied any of the romance languages, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, You know a lot about verb tenses. Growing up as an English speaker, you know a lot about verb tenses. You kinda take it for granted. But if you didn't speak English, if your native language was Chinese or something and you started studying English, you're like tenses. Okay, so let's talk about verb tenses for ASL. Let's do it through examples. Alright, so an English, he leaves the infinitive, the base form of the verb is to leave. But here we conjugate it to be the present simple. He leaves half. Alright, makes sense. Asl, he leave. Alright, so he leave. Alright, we're not going to conjugate the verb. Think of it this way. Would I conjugate this movement somehow? Maybe in some dimension, but not in ASL where we are in this planet, on this, in this world. Okay? So we're not going to conjugate the sign, leave, leave. We're just going to leave it as it is. Alright? Now when you sign, you make the sign all by itself or in a short sentence like this, it's assumed it's the present, simple present tense. Alright? So he leaves, right? So we're going to understand that as he leaves. Alright, let's take a look at write in English. We might say he's leaving, he's leaving or he is living in ASL. An option is now he leave. Okay. Did you see what we did there? So he leave. Alright. The signs and the base form. Right now he leave. The sign for leave is still in that base form. You don't conjugate the sign, you leave the sign the same and you add a half. Here it was. Now we add extra words to this sentence to make it clear what the timeframe is, where you are a future, past, present. In English, he's leaving. You could even say in English, he's leaving now, right? Either way. Asl now he leave. Oh, it's happening. No. Great. All right. Let's try another one. So English, he left yesterday or yesterday he left. Asl yesterday. He leave. I leave is staying the same. Everything we've looked at, leave the sign is the same. Leave, leave, leave. Do not conjugate verbs in ASL. So yesterday, he leave, leave, it's going to stay the same. We're not changing the sign, it's just the sign. Alright, let's try 0 and the time indicator here yesterday. So now we know it was in the past tense. In English, we had a couple, we had left conjugated in the past tense for the verb, but also yesterday, ASL, who, yesterday that timestamp. We know it's in the past. Okay. English, he'll leave or he will leave. Wow, ASL, he will leave. Wow, the sign for leave looks magically like it was in the past when we were talking about the past or in the present, right? Don't conjugate verbs signs in ASL. So we're just adding will in this case to put it into the present. Will. He will leave. I think I have another one. Yes, I do English. He'll leave later or he will leave later or later on he'll take off for later on he'll leave ASL we have later. Alright, So that later signs going to put it into the future, then we just go back to the regular he leave. So later he leave. Use those time indicators. Then that's in place of conjugating verbs, right? So leave the base signs as they are because you don't conjugate signs. All right, so we talked about don't conjugate verbs in ASL, just sign them and then add an extra sign, like a time indicator later, now before future or whatever to establish the timeframe, the present tense, what's happening? When it's happening? Okay, don't conjugate verbs. This was an ASL tip. Wonderful. 26. Tip #24 | Reuse ASL sentence structures: This ASL tip is all about reusing sentence structures. Okay, So let's jump in right away. For an example, we have Amy happy. How would you sign it? Finger spell the name. Amy. Happy. Amy, happy. Right? Now this is just a nice short, sweet sentence written English. Amy's happier, Amy is happy. Well, this sentence structure, we can change something round about Amy crazy. There we go. Amy crazy. Alright, same sentence structure, just with a different adjective, right? Let's try another one. She think she happy. Alright, so what does Point Enter there? She is, she think she happy? Right now using that sentence structure, how about we change it to we think she crazy. There we go. We think she crazy. All right, let's see. Hi, will change a little bit. We think Amy lonely. So before we think she crazy, now, we think Amy lonely. Here we go. Remember the sign for Lonely. Let's figure out, see if you do. We think Amy lonely? Alright, so same sentence structure here. We started with she thinks she happy. We think she crazy, and we think Amy lonely. Just switching out, adding different vocabulary words to describe the situation. Right here we go. Amy, No, she sensitive. Amy. No, she sensitive. Alright, let's rearrange their old switch out some of the words. We know she lonely. Alright, here's another one. Amy believes she needs sweetheart. Alright, let's sign it. Here we go. Amy, believe she need sweetheart. Alright, now using that same sentence structure, Let's switch out and change some of the words. We believe Amy need therapist. It was Amy believe she needs sweetheart. But we believe ME need therapists. We just switched some of the signs. That's it seems sentence structure. Right. Let's do it with me. We believe Amy need therapist. Okay. So let's just review quickly what we did. We started with a nice short, sweet sentence. We went to, from Amy, happy to Amy crazy. Alright, same sentence structure. Another sentence. She thinks she happy. And we changed it to, we think she crazy. And we change it again too. We think Amy lonely. Same sentence structure. This change in all the signs. Alright, we had Amy, No, she's sensitive. And we changed around a few things too. We know she lonely. And then Amy believe she needs sweetheart. We believe Amy need therapist. Okay. So I urge you as you progress in your learning signs, vocabulary is growing. Switch out the signs even if it's just for practice. And once you learn more, you'll be able to sign and talk about, sign about it even more situations as your vocabulary grows. So remember, reuse sentence structures and just flip all the vocabulary. A name for a pronoun or pronoun for a name but different verb, a different adjective. Okay, So this was an ASL tip. Fabulous. 27. Tip #25 | Embracing Mistakes: Hi, important ASL tip. Okay, let's talk about making mistakes. Now. First off, I think we just need to embrace the mindset that mistakes are gonna happen, right? It's just part of the process. There's a really famous quote, I forgot by who is basically very short and sweet. Either I win or I learned. Alright, doesn't say anything about failure, just says I learned. So if we look at mistakes as part of the process, not a failure, just a stepping stone to get where we want it to go. Oh, the possibilities end up being incredible. So when we're making mistakes, we kinda have two choices. One, oh goodness, It's horrible. I got to stop it. Or we can be like, Yeah, they sucked. It was uncomfortable. That was embarrassing. I mean, it just was achy. But guess what? I'm going to embrace my mistakes because I know I've already convinced myself that mistakes will happen. Alright? It's part of the process. That's how I improve. Actually. It's actually wonderful if we take a moment to think about it. Once we're making low-level mistakes, we do it really sucks. It sucks. But eventually we've fixed those that we make higher-level mistakes and we don't make the lower level ones anymore. There we make even higher-level mistakes and we don't make those anymore. That's improvement, yes. Improvement like crazy. Okay. I urge you embrace your mistakes. You don't have to be like, Oh, I'm so happy I feel awkward. Know, you're going to feel what you feel, but just try to keep in mind that it's useful. It's building you up. Keep going. You got this. You can do it. You're doing it already. Here. You are taking steps forward. Take a break if necessary, clear your mind, come back, kick some blood. Okay, Wonderful. This was an ASL tip. You got this. 28. Tip #26 | Use A Mirror: Asl tip. This tip is specifically about you signing, right? Getting feedback from yourself, about yourself. You're like, what the heck do you mean? Okay. Well, e.g. when I learned a new sign, I see it sign somewhere and I'm like doing it. I'm like, okay. Yeah, I think in my mind that I'm doing the motions correctly, but when I go look at my cell phone camera or something, it's like that's not exactly not exactly what I thought I was doing. And it definitely doesn't look like what they were doing and they're the ones that have the correct signs so I better tweak something there, right? So my advice here, the tip is, use a mirror. Alright, go stand in front of the mirror and do this signs. So you've learned it from someone. You saw how they've done it in this course, I explain the details how to do it. Now go do it in front of a mirror. Or possibly even when, let's say you have your computer monitor or your phone, you're watching this course right now. If you have the ability to set up a mirror beside it, you can get instant feedback. If what you're doing, It looks like what I'm doing or whatever course or whatever you're studying, whoever you've learned sign language from, you get instant feedback to see what you're doing if it matches up with what they're doing and you can correct accordingly. That's the important part. We're going to make mistakes. So if we get feedback, well, we have the opportunity to fix, improve, level up. Another option is to record yourself or you could go in-between on her phone. Just put on you don't even have to be recording. Just go to the camera app or whatever it is and you can just see what you're doing at that moment. Now being recorded, It's just whatever you get feedback right away. Alright, so these are a couple of ways you can improve your skills and get to where you're going a little bit quicker. If we constantly are signing something that feels right, it feels right, but we're not doing it right. It's just heading for a frustrating communication experience. Okay, so use the mirror. You record yourself. If you're studying with the group or have a partner or something, you could try to get feedback that way. Okay. So this was an ASL tip. Fabulous. 29. Tip #27 | Practice, More Practice: Asl tip. This one is about practice, practice, practice. Alright, learning something, new language, whatever it is, you get out of it, what you put into it. Right now, it sounds very obvious and simple, but let's repeat. You get out of it what you put into it. If you put in just a little bit of effort and expect these incredible results. Not so much. If you pour your soul and just walk into it, wow, incredible things are going to happen. Okay, so I urge you, sometimes it's gonna be boring, sometimes it's gonna be frustrating, is going to be f, take a break. Take a break. Practicing like crazy doesn't mean you don't get to take breaks. You need to take breaks to generate to reboot your energy, like your cell phone, you plug it in when it needs to be recharged, recharge your body, take a break, get back to it more often than not, if we strategically take breaks when we come back, wow, we see the situation from a different expected or different perspective. I wasn't thinking about that right now. It's easy. No, I got it off. I'm leveling up. Alright, practice, practice, practice. Just do it and do it and do it. Sign language is very useful once you to sign and you just do it and you do it and you do it, it becomes second nature. There are many things. Driving, reading something, riding a horse, something you've done so many times. It's just second nature in one thing. Once things become second nature, holy cow, you can level up to other things. More embellished facial expressions, more advanced signs, putting the signs together into complete sentences, right? So I urge you put in the practice, put in the work, and you'll get something out of it. This is wonderful because you don't need like Bob or Sarah or Henry to be involved to do it for you. You can do it yourself and you get a direct return on your investment. Wonderful. Okay, so this ASL tip, practice, practice, practice, have fun, have fun the more you absorb and it'll be a wonderful experience. 30. Tip #28 | Facial Expressions Are Essential: This ASL tip is a reminder about facial expressions. Yes, yes. Use them, embrace them, embellish, communicate what's going on in this situation. Alright, let's take a look. Alright. In ASL, he scared in English, he is scared or he's scared, somebody like that. So how do we do it? Well, let's just point here and let's say he's not here. So we'll refer to him off to the side like an imaginary person. He, and he's scared. Scared, right? Let me show you robot mode. I'll try to suck emotion out of it. Alright, now let me show you something a bit more embellished to show you what's going on in the situation. Alright? Alright. Now you just got extra information that something, something's going on in this kid's not a right or this person. He's scared, he's anxious, nervous, something's going on. Just by, you know, see my face did that but I just went up like that. I move my body around. You get so much more information, right? Facial expressions are key archi and just embrace them is wonderful. You might feel like you're overacting. But once you get in the deaf community started signing with people is no longer overacting is just how it is. Such a visual language. It's fabulous, It's wonderful. Have fun with it. Alright, use those facial expressions. They are a key, fundamental key declared communication. This was an ASL tip. 31. Tip #29 | When All Else Fails: Here is an ASL tip. Okay. When all else fails. Fingerspell? Yes. Fingerspell. Now we're talking about when the sign you remember the sign before, but now it's slipped. You mine. You're trying to assign a sentence or whatever and you're like, yeah, what was that sign, right. Well, I urge you you could delay and delay and delay, but if you got to communicate, you just gotta get the message across. Just fingerspell it, whatever it is. Let's say this sign for baby. You're like, I'm talking about the baby, but I don't remember the sign for baby. Dang it. Do we just pause and stop moving forward or do we just go baby? Then the person is at all. Yeah, baby, you're like, oh, now I remember the sign. Or if you didn't even you never knew the sign, right? But you want to communicate through like baby. Alright, so a couple of things here. It's important to know the alphabet because it's like an insurance tool. As you can revert to if you forget a sign or if you don't know the sign, but you want to learn assign you can finger spell it, right? How sign? And then you finger spell whatever. Lots of opportunities here. In English, it's a bit more of a challenge when you forget a word because you can't just spell the word because obviously you don't know the word at the moment. But in ASL you probably know the concept that you're trying to communicate. Well, just figured spell it if you forget the sign or if you don't know the sign. Okay. When all else fails fingerspell, I suppose we could go one level deeper. When absolutely all fails. Your fingers and hands are not doing what you told them to. And then it's like, I forgot absolutely everything. Well, when all else fails, when truly all else fails. Use a pen and paper. Use your phone, use a texting app and just texted costs. Show it something like that, right? Human beings, we are resourceful, look to where we are right now. Simple stuff like this. If we don't freak out or maybe we put the first time we do freak out and later on you're like, how could I have approached that situation a little bit different. Maybe I could have got some paper and a pen have in my pocket. I know I'm gonna be rounded area with some deaf people. Or I got my phone with me all the time. Well, by golly, I can just text and we can communicate and it'll be alright. That's important. It will be, all right. Because it's live, life has ups and downs. It won't always be alright. We push through, things, will work out. Things have a way of working out. Okay? Okay. I'm rambling. Alright, so this was an ASL tip. When all else fails, fingerspell, use the skills, use the alphabet and that you've learned already. Yeah, just put it to use. Okay. 32. Conclusion + Extra Tip: All right, so as you move forward in your American Sign Language journey, if things get a little bit tough for you having a headache and it's just not working out.

Excuse me. What's going on over there? Looking into something that's interesting. So eyebrows up, lean forward just a little bit. That's the expression for a yes, no question. Now you don't have to go like this through the whole time or signing, but makes sure once you get to the end of the sentence, that you show that facial expression. So here we might just sign it. Once we get to worry. Quick note about worry. The sign all by itself, you might have a perplexed look on your face, worry. But once we're here, we're in a sentence when it's a yes, no question.

Now keep in mind that this situation is kind of a unique one where we're not trying to really praise her, were actually kinda being gossipy. It'd been dramatic that we don't really think her rings that great. So here we go. Edna ring gold. Wow. Again, sign with me. Edna ring gold. Wow. Okay, now let's sign it as if we really appreciate it. We admire, Wow, It's a gold ring. Let's sign it like that. So put it in your face, use your body expressions. In English, we use inflection in their voice a lot. We even use facial expressions, not as much as sign language, but we still do. So if I said to you like this, entering Edna's ring is gold. Wow. Or if I said to you, Edna's ring is gold. Wow. It's easy to see the difference. Now as sign language is just all in the face, you can just read what they're trying to say.

Okay, so here's our lesson plan. First, you're going to sign sentences. You might be thinking, well, how does it work? Well, we're going to have a sentence that is talking about the picture and we're gonna go sign by sign. Alright, I'm gonna teach you handshape pan position, hand motion for each individual sine and we'll also do practice. Now after you've learned each individual sign in each part of the sentence, Well, we'll put it altogether and we'll sign the whole sentence. After we make it through all of the sentences, we're going to do review, right, for all signs because you've learned a lot of signs by this time. I'm going to show you the complete list. Something will light up and you sign it. You try to sign it before I do. And we'll keep going like that through the whole list, something lights up, you try to sign it before I do. Okay. So that's review for all the signs. Then we're going to move to signing all of the sentences now before we broke each sentence apart, but this time it's going to be just like one long narrative, back to back to back. Okay, After we sign all sentences, we'll do it together. You're going to see an inspiring quote. This is the format, but the quote is much longer. Your job is to translate the cipher, figure out what is the message and put your answer in the comments. Okay, we've got a lot to do. Let's jump in and booster ASL skills. 55. Learn - YOUNG LADY AFRAID.: In English, you might say, the young lady is afraid, well, in sign language will go like this. Alright, let's learn how to sign this. Here's the sign for young. Okay, we're going to use both hands. Start like this fingers together. We just have flat hands. Now. Take the fingers and bend them down, right? Like that. Take the tips of the fingers, turn them in, put them at the sides of your chest and just rub up twice. Just lightly rub up twice. Young. Young. Now I'm not in my armpits. I'm just at this side. Sides of my chest. Young. From the side. Other side. Front again. Young. Alright, so make sure you're doing an upward motion. There's another sign which is similar, which is animal. Alright, here's a sign for animal. Alright, here's a sign for young. See the difference. Alright, young, we're using upward motions. Animal. We're just kinda pivoting in twice. Alright, so here we are going to be signing young, young. Here's the sign for Lady. Alright, so same sign as woman. So use your dominant hand. I'm right handed, just going to have a flat hand there. We could say the number five, turnaround like that. Uh-huh. So all fingers sticking out, use the tip of the thumb, tap once on your chin and then once on your chest. Lady. Lady, or you could say woman from the sign. Lady. Lady. Other side. Front again. Lady. Alright. Here's the sign for afraid. Okay, hand shapes. First we're going to start out here, kinda fingers altogether, but we're going to shoot them out. So the ending hand shapes are flat open hands like this. Alright? Afraid, afraid. At the same time, put it on your face. You wouldn't be like you need to put in the emotion, especially in this situation if she's freakin falling off the cliff, put it on your face. Afraid. Afraid. From the side. Other side. Run again. Alright, so this sign also works for the concepts of scared, maybe even freaked out. Right here. We're going to use it for afraid. Okay. Now we've talked about all of the signs, so let's put them together and sign this sentence first. Let's go nice and slow. Sign with me. Here we go. Young lady afraid. Young lady, afraid. Alright, let's speed up. Alright, so before I was talking about facial expressions for Afraid, watch. If I sign it like a robot, the signs will be the same, but watch as I do it as a robot and CPU can feel the difference. Alright, now compare and contrast that with this. Alright, just light up your face. Use it as a way to communicate the seriousness of the situation. Okay. We just talked about how to sign this. 56. Learn - SHE HOPE NOT FALL-OFF.: In English we might say she hopes she doesn't fall off. Well in ASL, we can go like this. Let's learn how to sign this. She very straightforward. Take your index finger there she is. Zero point editor. That's it. We're just going to point out or we're going to indicate her in her direction, we're referencing her. Now she's not here, but we're still talking about it. There's point off to the side like there's an imaginary lady right here. But if she's here, I would just point at her. She she okay. Here is a sign for hope. Okay. We're gonna use both hands. The hand shapes motions are all the same. Now I'm right handed. So with my dominant hand, I'm going to go like this. Glad hand there, put that on a boat here. Non-dominant hand, same handshape when I put it here a little bit higher. Now watch my fingers. Alright, so we have hope for them up there and put the fingers swivel down just a bit. Hope from the side. Other side. Hope. From the front again. Hope. Okay. Now there is another sign that I've seen for hope its variation is to use R handshape. So we could say like you cross your fingers behind your back, that handshape and you put them right here and you shake them when you have a hopeful look on your face. Although I hope it happens, hope, hope you may see that version as well. Hope to be consistent throughout this lesson, I will be signing hope like this. Hope. Hope. Here is assigned port, not use your dominant hand. I'm right-handed. I'm just going to make the a handshape. We'd say the thumbs-up like that. Use a tip of the thumb, put it underneath your chin and just flick out once. Not not probably noticing them also shaking my head because at this point we're trying to make the sentences negative, right? Shake that head, not from the side. Other side. Front again, not. Alright. Here is the sign for fall off. I love it when the ASL signs are so obviously descriptive that you can just see what's happening. Alright, so we have two hands, I'm right-handed, right? So that's gonna be my person. We could say the number three, that's the handshape right there. We now have a platform with the non-dominant hand in this person, the legs, right? We're gonna be standing, maybe it's a cliff or platform, whatever it is, and then write fall off. From this side. Other side. Run again. Alright, now you can go faster or slower as you want to put the effective. I'm going slower and I opened my eyes up to try to make it more dramatic. Right. She's just appalling down there. If you want to go quick. That's fine. Now notice here we're doing fall off. We're not doing fall down. If you're doing like fall down, you might go like this. Still on the platform. You didn't fall off the cliff, you just fell down. Or if you slipped and fell. That's how it works. Okay. So we're gonna be going after fall off. So very visual. Alright, so we have all of the signs is put it together. Sign with me. Nice and slow. She hope not. Fall off. Again. Here we go. Here's the sign for again. She hope not fall off. You can be as dramatic or straightforward as you want. If you want to do is slow motion. Just write embellish it. That's up to you. Have some fun. All right. Let's do one more time. Okay. We just talked about how to sign this. 57. Learn - IF SHE FALL-OFF YOU THINK WILL DIE?: In English we might say, if she falls off, do you think she'll die? Well, in ASL, we can go like this. Okay, Let's learn how to sign this. Starting with if. Here's the sign for if. Okay. Now, I'm right-handed going to use my right hand, that's my dominant hand. We're just going to make the letter I or we can say is stick up the pinky. We can take the tip of the pinky palm facing in and just tap twice underneath your eye. If from the side. Other side. Front again. Alright, if you're left D, same handshape, just do it on the other. I double-tap. Alright, so I'm right-handed. I'll go like this. If she how do we sign she? That's right. Index finger there. She is. Pointing out at one time point. Right now you wouldn't get up in their face and point the point, the reason for pointing is just to indicate to reference the point is not to be rude, right? She okay. Fall off. How do we sign it? I know you remember it's very visual. Yes, that's right. Platform with your non-dominant hand? Dominant hand. That number three, handshape. These are the legs like they're gonna be walking in. Fall off. Fall off. Right? You how do we assign you? Very straightforward. Yes. Index finger, it's a personal pronoun, I'm signing with you, so I'll just point it at you once. You yes. Think here is a sign for think. Going to use that index finger again, right? You just pointed. You now use the same index finger and tap once on the side of your forehead because there's your brain and hopefully use your brain for thinking. Think. Think. From the side. Other side. Run again. Think. Yes, and I know that you're signing with me right? Here's the sign for will. Okay. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed, hand-shaped, just a flat hand there. We're going to put it here closer to this side of her face, not touching just off to the side here. Fingertips pointing up, palm facing across. And we're just going to shoot out. Will from the side. Other side. Run again. We'll hear is assigned for dy. We're going to use both hands, same hand shapes like that, flat hands. Now I'm right handed, so I'm going to put my first one there, palm facing down with my right hand, dominant and non-dominant hand. I'm going to put it here, palm facing up like that. Now we're just going to roll them over. Dy, dy. Now if you need some way to remember this, think of like rolling over in your grave because you're already dead. Die from the side. Other side. From the front again. Dye. Alright, so this sentence, how lucky are we? It's a question. And what kind of question is it? It's a yes, no questions. So that means the answer could be yes, it could be no, or could be maybe. Alright, now, I lit up the question mark, because once we get to the end of the sentence, you need to do a few things with your facial expression and body language. Alright, we're going to raise our eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. Have this look on your face like to pretend that there's a fence and you're trying to look in into your neighbor's backyard, but it's just a little bit too high so you have to reach up and look over. And that's the look you're going to use when you sign die or when you're getting into the end of the sentence to communicate a yes, no question. Okay. So we know all the signs. Let's go nice and slow step-by-step. And we'll talk about at the end to make sure we're communicating it as a yes-no question. Alright. Sign with me. Let's do it nice and slow. If she fall off, you think will die. Alright, so I signed die and I look at my eyebrows and leaning forward a little bit because this is a yes, no facial expression for yes-no question. Die. Alright, let's do it again. If she fall off, you think will die? I don't know. Yes, no. Maybe. Uh-huh. Okay. Let's do it. Speed up a little bit. A question. I rose up. Alright, again, here we go. Okay. We just talked about how does sign this. 58. Learn - OTHER PERSON PLAN HELP-HER OR KILL HER?: In English we might say, is the other person planning to help her or kill her? Well, in ASL, we can go like this. Alright, let's learn how to sign this. Here's the sign for other. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. Just use a thumb up or we could say even a handshape, right? Put it right there, palm facing off to the side tip pointing up and we're just going to lay it off to the side. Other, we could say swivel, twist. Other from the side. Other side. Run again, other. Okay. Here's a sign for a person. Hand shapes are the same, wonderful flat hands. Now pretend we have this box here. We're gonna take our flat hands, put it out on the sides of the top part of the box and just slide straight down. Person. From the side. Other side. From the front again. Person. Okay. Plan. Here's the sign for plan. Okay. Now we just learned person with those handshakes and that kind of box thing. Pretty close for plan, except we're gonna be going like this. Alright, plan. You're getting things moving in action. Plan from the side. Other side. Run again. Plan. Okay. Help, okay, now this is an interesting one. The base sign for help all by itself as something like this. Alright? Non-dominant hand, make that platform dominant hand. Just have your a handshape, put it on top. We're just going to raise up help, help, other side, help. Alright, so later on when we're doing the quiz, when I have help, just go like this. Alright, now the interesting thing about this sign is that help is what we call a directional sign. So let's see. If I wanted to sign, I help you. I would go like this. Alright. It's like I bring the help to you. In this situation. We have basically this person helping her, right? So we'll start at that person and will go towards her, help her. I'm not involved this time, I'm just an onlooker. Help her remember, help is a directional sign. Alright, the base sign, just like this, help in this situation, help herb. So start down by that person, the person offering, giving giving the aid or the help, and then just go towards her. Help her, help her. Alright? Or we have a couple of choices to be consistent throughout in this lesson, we're going to be doing or like this, OR just fingerspell is a nice short, sweet word. Very quick to go. Oh, our letters from the alphabet 0, r. Ok. Now First let me teach you the sign after or, and then I'll give you an alternate version, four or kill. Here's the sign for killer murder. Alright, Very straightforward. I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand is flat hand right there and put it about here. Palm facing in dominant hand. It's like your spear maybe in you're just gonna go kill, kill. You may want to have more of an intense look on your face because this is killing would be an intense situation. Kill from the side. Kill other side. Front again. Okay. Now let's back up. And I said I was going to give you an alternate version four or because we've already learned how to sign help her, right? And we've also learned the sign for kill. Alright, so if we're trying to sign help her or kill, it basically means we're given two options. One option is to go like this, help her, or just fingerspell or kill. Now another option is what we would call a body shift. Alright? So you have one option over here. You have another option over here, right? So you could go like this, help her. Or in the body shift represents or kill. Alright, so once again, or it could be just fingerspell in it and that's how we're gonna be doing it. Or you can body shift. So when you're signing, help her ego, help her kill. Alright, so the body shift gives the two options. Alright. Okay. Let's move to her. How do we sign her? Just pointed at her. It's basically the same sign as she because it's not a possessive pronoun. It's not like her house, her job, whatever. It's just referencing the person sheet. Okay. Personal pronoun. And this is yes, it's a yes, no question. So do you remember what do we do on a yes-no question? That's right. Raise those eyebrows, lean forward a little bit right? Now you don't have to hold this facial expression for the whole sentence, but makes sure you do it once you get to the end to indicate that it's a yes, no question. You're asking something you know, and they can answer yes, no, or maybe Right. Okay. A lot of stuff here. Let's go nice and slow sign everything. It once we sign or we're just gonna be using the 0 r. Alright, just fingerspell OR Okay, Nice and slow. Sign with me. Other person plan. Help her or kill her. Eyebrows up. Alright, again, here we go. Other person, plan. Help her or kill her. Right? You probably noticed that when I did help her, my eyebrows were up to just felt natural because at that part the question could end, right? It could be other person plan help her. It could be a question by itself. Here we are having two options, kinda opposite, polar opposites. You going to help her or whoever the person is, help her or kill her? Eyebrows up. More practice. Here we go. Sign with me. Other person plan help her or kill her. Okay. Good, good. We went step-by-step and we learned how to sign this sentence. It's a challenge, but by golly, we're improving. So this is what we saw in the drama, grows. 59. Learn - I BELIEVE SOMEONE TRY SAVE HER.: In English we might say, I believe someone's trying to save her. Well, in ASL we can go like this. Alright, let's learn how to sign this sentence. I, how do we sign it? Index finger or personal pronoun one time I write, I also works for me. Here's the sign for believe. Okay. Two-part sign here. Now I'm right handed, so I'm using my index finger and first just touch the side of my head because that's where my thoughts are coming from. And I'm gonna come down in class pins. Believe. Really, once you get down here, hand shapes are like that, kind of curved in a little bit, fingers together. Belief from the side. Your hands might make a clapping sound, that's fine. Believe. From the front again. Belief. Okay. Here's the sign for someone. Alright, use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. Same index finger, handshape, right? Put it about here. Palm facing in tip of the finger pointing straight up. We're just gonna do a couple of small little circles. Someone someone from the side, other side, front again, someone. Okay, Now this sign can work for multiple concepts depending on the context, the situation. Now in this situation we're using it for someone, right? The context is different. It could mean Alone. Alright, it could mean single, a single person without a partner. In this context, we're talking about another person, someone, someone. Alright, now makes sure you don't go too high like this with big open circles because that means always bonus sign. Always like you're always doing something always. For this lesson, we're not using that. We're using someone small circles down here. Someone here's a sign for a try. Alright, both hands. Can you use the a handshake from the alphabet a, B, C. Put them down here, palms facing down a little bit in. Now push them out and curve up. Try. Try. From the side. Other side, front again. Try. Alright. Now you may see the hand shapes as T's. Try, might even see them as Ss. Just depends on the deaf community, their background, how they grew up to be consistent. Throughout this lesson, we'll be using a hand shapes when we signed try, try. Okay. Here's the sign for save. Like you're a superhero. Why? We're going to use the hand shapes of the letter S, both hands, we can say fists. Put up your dukes. Hi, I'm holding two S's now I'm right-handed, That's my dominant hand. I'm going to turn it in, put it right in front of me so the palms facing in taped my other one put it on the outside so the risks are crossing. Now we're just going to go Save. And I hope it's obvious that we're not talking about saving money. We're talking about saving the person, right? Like salvation, save, which she could probably use some Save from the side. Other side. Save front again. Okay. And how do we sign her? The same signage sheet because we're just going to reference her, make it clear that we're talking about her. That's right. Just point her. Alright, we know all the signs. So sine with me, Let's go nice and slow. I believe someone try save her. Alright. Again, here we go. I believe someone try save her. Uh-huh. Now we're using believed here. You could just say, I think too, like we learned the sign for think before I think wanted to T2 and other signs. So this time around we're going to use belief, right? Let's speed up. Sign with me. Okay, wonderful. We went and step-by-step, and we signed this sentence. 60. Learn - MAYBE BEFORE SAME THIS. HAPPY LOVE.: In English we might say, well before maybe it was like this, you'll happy love vw. Well, in ASL we can go like this. Okay, Let's learn how to sign this. Here's a sign for maybe we're going to use both hands. Hand shapes are the same, just flat hands them alongside. Now we're gonna be putting them down here, palms facing up, and we're gonna be counterbalancing them kind of like the scales, scales of justice or whatever. Or you're bouncing suddenly back-and-forth. That is, maybe maybe if you want, you can have an unsure look on your face so it fits the situation. Somebody like that. From the side, maybe. Other side. Run again. Here is the sign for before. Okay, use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. This is gonna be the handshape. We're going to turn it around, put it about here, palm facing in. Alright, now we're just going to blow it pass like there's a current of air, something floating past, maybe a balloon floating. And we're just going to push it past before, before, from the side. Other side. Alright, before. Now this sign works for the concepts of previously, works for past. In here we're using it for before, before. Okay? Here is assigned for same. Alright, kinda like you have to separate things over here and you're connecting them with the y handshape, that's R handshape for the sign. Put it been down here, palm facing. That way forward. We're just going to move it back and forth. Alright, same. This can be a directional sign depending on the situation. If you have a situation and it happened to me, I might go like this. Alright, same mean, the same thing that happened to you. I did it too. I experienced it to seem right in this situation, just the base side, we're gonna go Same, same. Alright. This is very simple. Just point. This, we're gonna be referring to this situation now it's a different picture, but I think you can see how it's related or it could be related to the other picture that we've been using before. Alright, so just point index finger, this, alright. This did want to note, if we don't have a picture to point to where we are talking about this, this situation or this kind of abstract idea. We'd just go like this, this, this right here, we have a situation, this okay, Happy. Looks like this. Both hands, hand shapes like this. Flat hands. Now put your dominant hand. I'm right handed towards the top, non-dominant hand towards the bottom. Just rub up twice on your chest and have a happy face. Or at least a pleasant look on your face. Happy wouldn't make much sense if you're like, alright. From the side, other side, front again. Right? Now it's common to see this done with just one hand. Happy to be consistent throughout this lesson, I'll be using two hands. Happy. Okay. Here's the sign for love. Just give yourself a hug and have a warm look on your face. We're going to use S is for the handshape. So we would say fists. I'm right-handed. I'm going to put that first one in, cross my chest. Non-dominant hand crossing LinkedIn, squeeze just a little bit low from the side. Other side, love front again. Okay. So we have everything we've learned all the science was signed with me. Let's go nice and slow. Maybe before, same this happy love. Alright, again, here we go. Maybe before same this happy love. Alright, I'm with me will speed up. Okay, We went step-by-step and we signed these two sentences. Alright. 61. Learn - NOW OMG! DANGEROUS SITUATION.: In English we might say, now, oh my God, It's a dangerous situation. Well, in ASL we can go like this. Let's learn this. Here we go. Here's the sign for now. We're going to use y hand shapes from the alphabet, right? Take those y's turnaround so the palms are facing in poem about here. Drop them straight down. Now. From the side. Other side. Run again. Now. Here's a sign for a version of OMG. Oh my God. Okay. We have a couple of things going on here. First, we have the hand motion, what it's doing this sign, but the face is really going to be important on this one. Okay, first off was talking about we do, well, we do it the hand. Use your dominant hand and you're just gonna be flicking, alright, with your thumb and your middle finger and just going to flick. At the same time, have this look of like astonishment. Oh my God, that kind eyes open. Alright. Let me do it from this side. Here we go. Other side. The front again. Omg. Oh my God. Okay. Now this sign is flicking motion is a version of terrible. Alright, so if I go like this, terrible, terrible. What do you see my face, I'm kinda disgusted. I don't like it. So it's more clear that it's terrible. Here. We're gonna be using it OMG, oh my God. Look on your face is more astonishment. There's Wow, Shock. Can't believe it. Okay, now let's compare. I'm gonna do terrible, and then I'll do OMG. Alright, so the flicking motion is still happening in the facial expression is going to be key so important in ASL. Okay, another version of OMG, oh my God that I've seen is just to do the letters OMG and add an a facial expression. All have g. To be consistent throughout this lesson, we'll be doing it like this. Okay. Dangerous. Here's the sign for dangerous. Use both hands now I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand, flat hand shape. Turn it down here. Pompeii seen in fingers off to the side, right, kind of at an angle. Take your dominant hand. I'm going to use a hand shape. We're going to put it in front here and we're going to rub up twice. Gonna be using this part right here to touch. So we have dangerous dangerous from the side other side, front again, dangerous. Here is assigned for a situation. Okay. We're going to use both hands now. I'm right handed. That hand shape is going to be the letter S. Hold that for a moment. Non-dominant hand for me, my left hand. Just use that index finger. We're going to put it here. Palm facing off to the side tip of the finger pointing up. Now take your dominant hand that S handshape. Start in the back and just revolve around to the front. So we have situation from the side, other side. Front again. Alright, I have seen a version where the sign is same handshape, just a bit closer, Alright, to be consistent throughout, we are gonna be leaving a gap in-between as we're revolving around situation. Okay. We know all the signs. Let's do it nice and slow. Sign with me. Now. Oh my God. Dangerous situation. Now, OMG, dangerous situation. Facial expressions are key, show the intensity embellished to make it really clear what's happening. She's fallen off the cliff. So we probably wouldn't be like, Oh my God. No, it'd be more like this. Alright, let's speed up a little bit. Okay, we just sign this step-by-step. This is what we did. 63. Practice - Sign All Sentences: Okay. So you've learned all those signs, you did practice and you've reviewed all of the sciences. Well, now we're gonna go through all of the sentences back-to-back to back and basically sign a narrative. So the first time around we'll go nice and slow. I'll be talking as we sign it, we'll do it together. The second time around. I won't be talking a little bit quicker and we will sign it all. Alright, so let's jump in. Here we go. Young lady, afraid. She hope not fall off. If she fall off, you think will die. Other person, plan, help her or kill her. I believe someone try. Save her.

Slower changes, the speed of the video and just practice, practice, practice. Step-by-step. We're improving. Okay. 64. Lesson Conclusion: Okay, So what did you accomplish? Well, use sine sentences about a picture. We had review and you were tested on all signs. Then we came back and we signed everything back to back to back like a narrative, right? So next we have the inspiring quote. Now remember, here is the format, right? So you see the hands, they're all going to be an ASL letters the quotes much longer. Take your time, decipher the quote, figure out what is the message and put your answer in the comments. Okay, have fun. See you soon. 108. ASL Quiz #1 Full Explanation: Okay, So let me sign it one more time then also you the answer. The answer is B. Yes. Your eggs disgusting. Okay, so we had three answer choices, and we'll notice that they're all yes-no questions. Alright, so how do we communicate a yes-no question in ASL? Well, at the end of the sentence, raise those eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. Uh-huh. Kinda like you're trying to peek over a fence. Uh-huh. That's how we communicate. A yes, no question. Okay. We have three wonderful opportunities here. Let's learn how to sign everything. We're going to start with a herd, toast delicious. Well here's how it looks altogether. Okay, So let's break it into parts. Here we go. Her just take your opening open hand, dominant hand. I'm right handed and just push once in her direction. Her if she's not here, just do it off to the side. Her alright. Toast. Here's the sign for toast. Okay, use both hands. I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand, uses flat hand right here. Put it down here. Palm facing in dominant hand. Take that V, keep the fingers straight. We're going to use it as a fork to poke. And we're gonna go 12. Toast, toast from the side, other side, from the front again. Right? So you notice, take that V, which is a fork, stick it ones, stig it twice. Toast. Okay, so let's put this, well, let's get to delicious burst. Delicious. Looks like this. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. Take that middle finger, bend it down. So first you have this fingers spread apart is flat hand, middle finger put it down, use the tip of the middle finger, put it on your lips and just go out and have a pleasant look on your face because it's delicious. Okay. Alright, from the side. Other side. Delicious. From the front again. Okay, So let's sign everything in this sentence. Sentence, a choice, a, remember yes-no questions. Once we get to the end, looking like this. Here we go. Sign with me. Let's go nice and slow. Here we go. Her toast. Delicious, right? So when we're signing delicious, eyebrows up, lean forward a little bit. Let's do it again. Her toast. Delicious. Okay, Let's do B. Your eggs disgusting. Alright, your possessive pronoun, this is the hand shape. I'm talking with you. So I'll just do one single push your in your direction. Your simple enough eggs. Here's the sign for eggs. Okay, both hands, same handshape, the letter U. Alright, so I'm right handed my non-dominant hand first, I'm going to take that first. You put it down here. Tips of the fingers pointing that way palm facing in my dominant hand. I'm going to take it started about here, bring it down, crack the eggs and let them run out. Let them open eggs. Eggs from the side. From the other side. From the front again. Okay. So non-dominant hand put that you down their dominant hand right here, started about here, come down, knock them, let them open up. Eggs. Disgusting. The sign all by itself. So not in a statement, just the sign all by itself. Like this. Alright, disgusting. The handshape. Use your dominant hand. It's like this kind of a claw. You could say a loose hand. Take the tips of the fingers and the thumb, put it on your stomach and just do a couple of circles in your face, your facial expression, right? Disgusting. Disgusting. From the side. Other side. From front again. Okay, Now, disgusting here is part of a question.

That's like our ledger because we're talking about money cost prices, stuff like that. With my dominant hand, I'm going to make the letter x like in the alphabet or Captain Hook. Now we're going to use the top part of the x and we're just going to rub down our ledger over here. Uh-huh. Cost cost from the side, other side. From the front again. The sign also works for price. And here we use an S verb, cost. Okay? Alright, we have $7. This is going to be two separate signs. So we're going to have the number seven and then we're gonna do dollar, dollar. Okay? So we have three numbers in all of the choices. We have 67.8. So let's quick talk about numbers. So this is six, the thumb and the pinky, the tips coming together. Seven is the next finger over eight is the next finger, and you guessed it, nine is the next finger. We will just use the four fingers to go 67896789. So an answer. A.

X dominant hand, non-dominant hand over here platform the ledger cost, like you're running down all the prices. Cost. Right here we have $6. So how do we sign $6? Before we did $7, now we need $6.

Use your index fingers. Leave your thumb there in front. We're going to use the sides of the index fingers, but they're gonna be pointing down and now they're not going together. We're going to rub them alternating. Alright, so pointing down, I'm right-handed, That's my dominant hand. So I'm going to start with that one up a little bit. I'm going to slide down and pull the other one up and then go back down. So we have socks. Socks have seen sometimes people do it three times. I'll just do it two times, That's fine.

So I'm going to assign it one more time and then I'll show you the answer. And the answer is C, we need hot chocolate. Delicious. Okay, so we did the answer, but we're not going to stop there. No, we're going to learn this sign. You're going to learn to sign all of the answers. Yes. Okay. So before we jump into answer a, Let's take a look at all of them. There are statements we could say affirmative declarations, so don't worry about any question expressions, anything like that. We're just going to do regular statements. So after you sign them, you can add a little bit. You could have a neutral look on your face, but we're just sharing information. Okay? Answer a. You all try hot cider. Alright, here's what it looks like. Alright, let's break it down. We have you all as in you plural. So you might be talking to a group of people, give me his speech, whatever. You use that index finger. Personal pronouns. So you all, we're going to go like this. Just arc it in front of you. Can't go like this because that would be for one person, you uh-huh. We need the arc it now there's something very important here. And this is the difference between you all and they, they're, they're happy. Or they said, you all said, we need you all is off to the side. You all they are maybe even they, okay, so how do we remember? Pretend there's an imaginary line here, vertical, right, and runs right in front of you when you want to assign you all, makes sure to cross it. Okay. So a few cross it, that's you all you stay off to the side. You're not crossing that line. They are very important. They they you all. Okay. So you all once again index finger just cross in front. If they're over there you want to address them, you would go that way. Suddenly your lines over here, then you go you all back to you guys. I'm speaking to an audience. You all. Okay. Next one is try. Here's the sign for try. Alright, good news. The same hand shapes the letter a as in the alphabet. So we go like this, fingers together down, thumbs tight alongside. Start down here, palms facing down. And now we're just going to move forward and curve up. Try rye, from the side. Try. Other side. Right from the front again. Try. Okay. Now you may have seen this done with T hand shapes. T's same motion, just different hand shapes, right? I've seen it done with S's as well. S try to be consistent here. We're going to use the a handshape. Uh-huh. Okay. Hot. Here is the sign for hot. Good one to know because it's in all of the answers. Here's the sign for hot. Right? Maybe you could hear my book, my breath exhaling hot, right? Okay. The handshape, use your dominant hand. Go like this, bring them down. I don't know if it's a clock or it's more like you're going to catch a ball, something like this, but this is the handshape right there. Okay. Now you're going to turn it in towards your mouth. And as you breathe out, flicking around pot. And you could open your mouth a little bit and breathe out from the side. From the other side. Alright. Okay, once again from the front. Hot, Good, good cider. Alright, so we have hot cider, we know hot now cider, you're just going to finger spell C, I, D, E, R. So one thing you learned about sign language, some of these shorter words, they don't have their own sign, alright, they just are quickly fingerspell. So in this case, cider. Let's do the letters C, I, D, E, R. Just like that. Alright, let's do it a few times. It will speed up. Cider. Cider. Cider. Okay, So we know all of the signs for the full sentence. You all try hot cider. All right, let's do it. You all try hot cider. Yes, it would be more like a command here, but it's still a statement were given out the information there could be a command or it could just be sharing information. You all try hard cider, like it happens. So let's do it again. You all try hard, cider. It's kinda convenient. Once we do hot, we end up down here, which is almost in the C handshape. We just close it up, obey and we have a C for this cider, right? Okay, Good, Good. Let's go to answer b. Here's what it looks like. Alright? You imagine know how to sign you index finger just 0.1 time. Alright, something important to know. If you're seated, you're sitting in a row, movie theater, a long line of chairs, whatever you like this and you'd signing with someone at your side, do what you can. I know it's a little bit cramped. Sometimes. Do what you can to turn your body right now and you can go, you, it's not only more respectful, it just means they can see what you're signing your facial expressions and total package, right? You index finger, you taste. Okay, here's what it looks like for taste. Dominant hand. I'm right handed. Go like this. Open flat hand, bend down that middle finger. We're going to use the tip of the middle finger. Now you have an option here. Basically we're going to stick out our tongue a little bit. And just like, like your tasting something, right? You just dabbed in something, you have it on the tip of your finger in your tastes in it. Now if you want to touch your tongue, that's okay. If you don't want to touch your tongue, germs, dirt, whatever on your hands. Don't worry about it. Don't touch your tongue, just get close. So we have paste from the side. Other side. Paste from the front again. Okay. So we have you taste hot. You remember how to sign hot? Right? This handshape right here. Alright, put it right here. Hot water. How do we sign water? It looks like this. The handshape. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. W, we're going to make a W. Now we're going to use this side of the index finger here. Just tap twice on our mouth. Water. Water. Right? We know all the signs. Let's do it. Let's do the full sentence for B. You used hot water. You paste hot water. Okay, So sine with me, Let's do it a few times. I won't talk seen tastes and sign in at the same time. What's my tongue and weird positions? Let's do it. Okay? And depending on the situation, what's happening, the context, you could be telling someone to taste hot water. You could just be, you know, sharing information that it happened you taste hot water. But the context will decide here, we're just getting the signs and the sentence. Okay? One more time. Okay, Back to see. Alright, we need hot chocolate. Here's what it looks like. Okay, the sign for we, personal pronoun, lovely thing about personal pronouns in American Sign Language. They all have the index finger. Once you get to possessive pronouns like my, your, it's gonna be this one right here. But right now we just need personal pronouns, right? We, you mean stuff like that? I so we go like this. Tip of the finger go 12, just two taps on the chest. 12. Now I'm right-handed. If you're left-handed, just use your index finger. Go from the other side. We I'm right-handed. We from the side. We other side. We need. Here is the sign for need. Okay, use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. The hand shape is the letter x, or we can say like the Captain Hook or write like that. Now we're going to leave it so the palm is facing forward, put it about right here and just drop it down. Need from the side, need other side, knee, right? This also works for should must need. Okay, Chocolate. Here's a sign for chocolate. Okay. We're going to use both hands. I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand for me, my left hand, I'm going to make an S. We could say a fist. Put it down here. We've got a nice platform, dominant hand, make the letter C. Now we're going to take the outside part of the thumb, this part right here, place it on top and do a couple of circles. Chocolate from the side, dark lit. Other side. Chocolate from the front again. Okay. There is a similar sign, the same hand shapes, a different motion, which could be confusing if you don't know the difference. Alright, It's the sign for church. This is church. This is chocolate. Suppose you could have chocolate in church. But this focus in on church and chocolate. Once again, church to taps. Yet they're bouncing movement. Chocolate, just put it there and go around like you're maybe stirring whatever potted chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Okay. So we need hot chocolate. We know all the signs. Well, let's sign here we go. Sign with me. We need hot chocolate. Yes, we do. We need hot chocolate. Alright. Sign with me a little bit quicker. Right at the end of the sentence, you could add a little bit. You can have a neutral facial expression up to you. If you just like you really need it, you're not gonna make it through the day anymore. Put it on your face. Okay. So we did all of the answers which leaves us with another opportunity. Yes, let's sign them all together. We'll go a, b, and c. So I'm going to start here, sign a, go back down to the rest position sine B, back down C. Okay, let's do it. Rho sine with me. We'll go a little bit slower. Next round will speed up a little bit. You all try hot cider. You taste hot water. We need hot chocolate. Okay. This time I'm not going to talk. We'll just go through a little bit quicker speed. So sine with me. There we go, a, b, c in that order. Wow, we signed everything. Fabulous. Okay. I think that is good. The ozone. 114. ASL Quiz #4 Full Explanation: Okay, it's time for the answer to our quiz. So I'm going to sign it one more time and then I'll show you the answer. And the answer is a yes before Anna Smith, skinny. Okay, so we have the correct answer. Now we could stop there, but that's not how we do things. We have an opportunity here to sign all of the answers right? And talk about the different situations, what's happening, and get some more details. Okay. So I'll be honest with you, I tried to trick you because the signs for before, previously and passed those concepts, it's all the same sign. So this is the sign and I'll get into it in a moment, detailed how to do that sign. But just so you know, and as we go before, previously, past, in the past, it's all the same sign. Learning new things. Okay, So let's start with a. This was the actual answer, right? So this is how it's signed before Anna Smith. Skinny. Another quick thing about all of the answers is they are yes, no questions. Alright, so I'll get into details. But basically for all of these answers, when we're assigning them, we're going to raise our eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. Uh-huh. That's how we indicate a yes-no question. Alright. Back to answer a. So before Anna Smith, skinny, we already talked about the sign for before, which is the same as previously in which is the same as past. Just go like this. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. We're going to take this handshape right here, flat hand. I'm going to turn it around so the palms facing like over our shoulder there. And now we just go like this. There's a mosquito or trying to maybe push it past our head is flying. There's a flow of air or whatever. We're just trying to get it in the past. Past, from the side. From the other side. Okay. So that is passed it's also previously passed before I said that and in the past. Right. Okay. Now we have the name, we have Anna Smith. So now we're just going to fingerspell. Let's do it. First. We'll do the letters, then we'll speed it up. A N, N a S, M, I, T eight. Okay. You're going to notice a couple of things. I signed my fingers spelled ANOVA here, and I moved over four Smith. So here's what it looks like. Anna Smith. Alright, so moving over a little bit for the LastName makes it very clear that we're signing a first and last name. Now some people might stay right here and they won't move for either name. But it's more than likely. More likely than not, that they will at least pause on the last letter of the first word, or in this case the firstName, Anna. A, ending on the a and pausing for a moment and then go into the next name, Smith. Alright, to be consistent, the way I'm gonna do it throughout this whole lesson is I'm going to assign the firstName. Pause on that last letter, and then I'm gonna go to the last name, SMI, th, right. Okay, so let's practice a name a few times. Here we go. Anna Smith. Anna Smith. Okay, double n, double letter. What do we do with double letters? We move a little bit to this side, right? So a, first and second n, then a, in this case, ana. Okay? You might notice that I do the first a, then I do the n. I go over for the second end and I come back a little bit for the, a, just a natural way to do it because the point is I'm trying to sign an OH, right here because later I'm going to assign Smith over here. Alright, let's do the name a little bit faster. Anna Smith. Okay, Now we're on skinny. Here is the sign for skinny. Hand shapes or this scene. We're going to use the letters or letter from the alphabet. Alright, so we have those pinky sticking up there. I'm right-handed, That's my dominant hand, non-dominant hand. I'm going to put it right here. Top of the tip of the pinky toe pointed straight up my dominant hand. I'm going to put it down so the tips of the Pinky's are touching. Alright, so non-dominant hand is pointing up, dominant hands pointing down. Now we're just going to pull them apart. And at the same time have a facial expression like, you know, like you don't have any fat in your cheeks because you're really skinny, something like that. So we have skinny from the side, other side. And the front again. Skinny. Okay. So we know all the signs and as I mentioned before, this is a yes, no question. When we're signing skinny, our eyebrows go up, lean forward a little bit. Another option is you sign skinny, your eyebrow, eyebrows are up, put your hands down and leave that facial expression. S No facial expression basically means that I want to know what's happening. Another way to look at it is pretend there's a fence, right? And you're right here, you can't quite see over the fence. So you like and your eyebrows go up, you lean forward because you want to see what you're interested in or creepy neighbors doing. Uh-huh. That's the yes-no question face. And you don't have to hold that facial expression through the whole sentence. Just do it at the end. Okay, so let's go nice and slow and let's sign letter a the answer, the whole thing. Here we go. Before Anna Smith skinny. Alright, again, yes, before Anna Smith skinny. Before Anna Smith. Skinny. Alright. And you don't have to talk while you're signing is probably actually easier to not talk. Especially like when I'm going like this. I'm trying to stay skinny at the same time though, I'm always wanting to make that a little bit difficult. Let's sign the few times I won't talk at all and we'll just do the signs. Okay. Good, Good. Let's move on to answer B. Previously, Anna Smith Young. Okay, So first we know that previously it's the same sign as before and pass. So I'm going to start like that. Let me sign the whole sentence, the question, and then we'll get into it. Okay? Yes, no questions. So ended like this. I want to know, right? So previously we already know that sine just go like this, put it right here. Like you're blowing something past your shoulder, over your shoulder, past Anya Smith. Lastname is the same. We're just going to finger spell a little bit different. So let's do it. Anya Smith. Right? Same thing. I did. The first name on your eyes a little bit on the last letter, then went over to Smith. Anya Smith. We need to pause the video, practice finger spelling that name. But you get up to the more confidence and you feel like it blows. Nicer. Take your time. Feel free to pause the video. Think about finger spelling. Even for experienced signers. Sometimes what's happening up here just doesn't want to come out here. It's not working. I urge you to slow down. Alright, there's no need to sign super, super-fast or fingerspell super, super fast. It's kinda like maybe an eagle booster. I did it really fast, but it oftentimes ignores the purpose. The purpose is clear communication. If I can fingerspell 1 million mi a minute, but nobody understands anything. Well, I have a party of one for communication and that's not how it works. Okay. So we have Anya Smith. And the last word in that question, young, Here's a sign for a young. Okay. Both hands start like this, fingers together, thumbs alongside. We have the flat hands here. Now we're going to bend just two fingers down and we're going to use the tips of both tips of the fingers of both hands. What I'm about here, not in your armpits, just yet the side of your chest. And we're going to rub up twice. Young. Young. From the side. Other side. From the front again. Alright, so not in the armpit at the sides of the chest. Rub up twice. Just quick jerky movements. Okay. So we know all the signs. Let's put it together and sign the question. Here we go. Previously, Anya Smith Young. Previously Anya Smith Young. Alright, remember at the end, yes, no question. Raises eyebrows. Lean forward. Alright, let's do it again. Sign with me. Previously. Anya Smith. Young. Okay, Good, Good. Let's move to answers. See past and Smith pretty alright. You notice here in English, you might say, well, in the past was Ann Smith pretty or something like that in sign language? We don't sign the MR is was were those that to-be verb language is very efficient. It goes straight to the point. And it seems like it sounds simple, but I wouldn't look at it as being simple. It's just really efficient, right? It gets the idea across automatically. It's interesting when I reflect on spoken English, how you don't really need the, the, the A's the end. Mr. Is was where to get the meaning, right. I mean, I suppose past tense and stuff, it helps. But if you just had the chunk words like in sign language, you would most likely get the meaning, right? Okay, so for letter C past, we already know that sine right past. We have another name. So if finger spell the name, Here we go. Smith. Let's do it again. Ann Smith, little bit quicker. Ann Smith. Now, constantly repeating finger spelling, I think is a good idea, even if it's one word, you just want to keep doing it until it comes becomes smooth. It's very likely that the letters sequences in those words, you can use them. In other words, we get the muscle memory thing going on when we're practicing our finger spelling in our mind or body remembers for similar words in the future. Okay, So Anne Smith one more time, then we'll get to pretty. And Smith in pretty Here's the sign for pretty like a fan going in front of the face. Okay. This is also the sign for beautiful, beautiful, pretty works like this. Okay. So just take your hand, dominant hand, I'm right handed. Leave him fingers spread apart. Turn it so the palms facing towards you. We're going to start here at the side of the face and we're just going to go in front. Then we're going to come down and have all the fingers scrunch up. So when you end it's kinda like an a hand shape, a little bit scrunched up down there, right? Just let them go in front. Ready? 3d from the side. Grady, from the other side. Ready, from the front one more time. Ready? And just keep in mind that this also works for the concept of beautiful. Okay, So let's sign the full question, full answer of letters C. Past. Ann Smith. Pretty old English in the past was Ann Smith pretty. Let's do it again. Past Ann Smith. Ready? Okay, again. Alright, Good, good. So we did all of the answers. Now we have another opportunity. Yes. Why don't we do all of this, all of the answers back to, back to back, right? So this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna assign answer a. I'll start in the rest position. I'll sign it. Come back down to the rest position. Uh-huh. Do answer B. Come back down to the rest position, see if you're curious about what the heck is this rest position thing? Well, if you ever watch sign language interpreters, when they're not signing, they're kind of just waiting for things to happen that when they need to start interpreting, their hands are usually somewhere around their waist or in an area where it's just quick and easy to go and start signing, right? So because we're gonna be signing back to back to back, Let's just come back down to the rest position. Okay, too many words. Let's start assigning. Alright, let's do answer a. Before Anna Smith. Skinny. Previously, Anya Smith. Young. Past Ann Smith. Pretty. Okay. So I'm gonna go a little bit quicker this time. I won't talk to sign along with me and we'll get lots of practice. Okay. Same thing. I'm gonna go a, B, C. Each time we'll come down to the rest position. Okay. Good, good. Wonderful. We signed everything. All of the answers step-by-step. Okay. Alright. I'll see you soon. 116. ASL Quiz #5 Full Explanation: Okay, it's time for the answer to our quiz. I'm going to sign it one more time and then I'll show you the correct answer. And the answer is a, you want become engineer? You, Hey, we have the answer to the quiz, but why stop there? Why not learn how to sign all of the answers? That's what we're about to do. I want to make a few observations first, you're going to notice that all of the answers start with a pronoun, a personal pronoun, and they end with the same personal pronoun. I might be thinking, isn't that a little excessive visit redundant? Uh-huh. What's what's what's up with that? Well, it's very common in American Sign Language to repeat the same pronoun at the end, and it just adds extra emphasis to whoever we're referring to. So let's take English for a moment. I'm talking with you and I say to you, You took my money, didn't you? Now, to be understood, I could just say you took my money. But to add extra emphasis to really lay it in there, I said, didn't you? Or you want some pizza, don't you? Some adding extra emphasis at the end just to, I don't know, it's kinda natural sometimes they do it or just to re-emphasize that I'm talking to you. It was he or she. She wants to fly to the moon. Doesn't see. He's hiding in my basement, isn't he? So all these different situations where you don't have to add extra pronoun at the end, but you can. Alright, so for sign language that's safe for a, you, you won't become engineer. You you could just sign it. You won't become engineer and leave off that extra pronoun. That's an option. You'll still be understood. You want to add that extra emphasis at the end. Sign, repeat the pronoun at the end. Okay, I'm talking too much. Let's get to the sign-in. So let's start with answer eight. Here's what it looks like. Okay? So starting with the pronoun, personal pronoun, you pretty sure you know how to assign that index finger. You single motion you want. Here's a sign for want, want, want. Kind of think like you're going to open a drawer and you're pulling it towards you like a dresser. Want one other side? One, right? So flat hands, put them here, palms facing up as you pull in, curve your fingertips. Want become looks like this. Become right. So and shifts the same for both hands? Yes. Flat hands there. I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand. I'm going to put it right there. Palm facing in dominant hand, same handshape. We're going to lightly place it on top. So we have that right here. Now we're just going to rotate and switch hand positions. So we have become become from the side. From the other side. Become front again, become right. Alright. And engineer, this is a good one. Here's a sign for engineer. The hand shapes are the same. Wonderful. Why? Why hand shapes like that? Put them here, palms facing down. We're going to have the tips of the thumbs come together. The pinky is, the tips of the Pinky's are pointing forward or a little bit off to the side. That's fine. Now we're just going to use your dominant hand. I'm right handed and swivel down twice. We can see we're pointing at pinky down, straight down, straight. Engineer. Engineer from the side. Other side. Engineer from the front again, engineer. And ends with you. So you so in all the signs, Let's put it together and sign nice and slow. Here we go. You want become engineer? You you want to be an engineered, don't you? Something similar to that in English language. Once again, you want become engineer. You. Alright, so sine with me, Let's do it a few times. Math and I just kinda not a little bit. You can have a neutral facial expression is up to you. Alright, let's go to become nurse. She, she personal pronoun handshape, index finger, just pointed the person you're referring to. It's not impolite, it's communication. Now if you get up in their face and you're like she or you would ever use some common sense, alright, don't do that, but just pointing to, to indicate, to refer to someone. Totally fine in American Sign Language. Okay. So see, Sally. Barry, Georgiana, whoever I just pointed them one time. Okay. Now, since if the person is not here, the whoever you're indicating is not here, just go off to the side. She Ji want become, how do we assign one to become? Want to become want to become nurse? Here's the sign for nurse. Okay. Use both hands. I'm right-handed. That's my dominant hand. Non-dominant hand. We're going to make a flat hand. Put it down here, That's our platform. It's kinda tilted forward down a little bit. Now we're going to take this handshape. We do it like this. Fingers together, thumb alongside, get rid of the pinkie ring finger. We can use the inside of these two fingers and tap twice on a wrist or pulse area. Like you're a nurse taking the pulse right? Nurse from the side. Other side. Nurse from the front again. Nurse. I have also seen it where the thumbs not sticky notes like this. Then they just tap from the side right here. Nurse. That's fine. Too, be consistent throughout this lesson I'll be going like this. Nurse. Nurse. Okay, so, and then you end with sheet. So let's do the full sentence. We know all the signs here we go. Sign with me. She wasn't become nurse. She wants to become a nurse, doesn't she? Alright. Sign language once again. Okay. Couple of things. If you think nursing is the worst profession in the world, the signs will stay the same, but you can embellish your facial expressions and body language. So watch. So let's say, I really don't like the nursing profession, right? Alright, now let's say I just love it. I have so many nurse friends and I just loved the nursing profession. Profession. Okay. Good, Good. Let's move to answer C. He wanted become pilot. He he wants to be a pilot, doesn't mean more or less the English equivalent. Okay. So he is actually the same sign for she, index finger, just 0.1 time. He she in American Sign Language, it's a gender-neutral pronoun. Now what does that mean? It just means that he is the same sign for xi. They as a singular, that individual, that person that won between one individual. For here, I'm just going to go here right here because I don't have anybody here. So here we go. He won't become harder. We do want become, Do you remember? Want become, That's right. One to become islet. Here's the sign for pilot. Two parts sign literally were signing fly person. Right. So to sign fly, use the I love you. Handshape. How do you make it like that? Middle two fingers down. I love you right there. We're going to use that. Make an airplane, put it about here, tilted a little bit forward and just go forward once. Why? Why? Now the second part is person. So it's Fly person, hand shapes right here, flat hands, pre-tenure at the sides of a box right here and you're gripping the sides, just slide down the sides of the box. Person, person, person. Alright, so person. So together we have fly person and don't pause in between, don't be like fly person. Now, you've established two separate things, two separate concepts. Just go back-to-back. Fly person from the side, other side. Pilot. From the front again. Pilot. Pilot. So he won't become pilot. He, alright, another here at the end. So here we go. He want become pilot. He alright, again, sign with me. Right? He won become islet. He okay, fabulous. We've done all of the answers. Let's go through start the rest position will sign a rest, so NB rest and sine C and rest. Okay? First-time we go nice and slow. Second time we will speed up. Here we go. You want become engineer? You Shi want become nurse. G. E, I will put here over here. He want become islet pee. Okay, Let's go through this time back to back to back. I won't talk this time. I'll put a C over here and I'll put here over here. Why not? You want to flip them around up to you? Okay, here we go. Okay. You might notice sometimes when I did he, I looked over a little bit. It's up to you, whatever your personal preferences, you can look, reference that person or not looking at all so long as you're pointing away. Okay. We signed everything. Yes. Alright. See you soon. 118. ASL Quiz #6 Full Explanation: Okay. Let me sign it one more time and then I'll show you the answer. And after that, we'll go through and sign and learn how to sign all of the answers with lots of practice. Okay. One more time. Okay. And the answer is B, Friday, Paul Jones go to college. Okay. So that was the answer. That was what I was signing. Now, let's move forward and let's jump in and sign everything. Okay, before we break down individual answers, Let's take a look here and see what all of them have in common. Well, the person that jumps out is that all? They're all talking about the same guy. We have Paul Jones. So that means we're going to be finger spelling. We have a firstname and we have a last name. So why don't we take a moment because it's in each each answer. Let's practice finger spelling. Paul Jones. First, let's just do the letters will go nice and slow. Then we're going to speed up. Alright, here we go. G a U L J 0 N E S. So we have Paul Jones. Paul Jones. Okay. And as I'm fingerspell and you're probably noticing when I sign the first word, the first name Paul. I'm right here, my hands right here. And then I move over slightly to go for Jones. Right? So that's one thing. The other thing, when I do Paul P A-U-R-A-L, I pause for a moment on the last letter. That makes it very clear to whoever I'm assigning to that That's the first word, That's the first name. Then I go to Jones. Right? So let's do some practice. Paul, pause for a moment. Jones. Paul. Jones. And I know that your fingers spelling with me, right? Uh-huh. Let's speed up. Paul Jones. Okay. So Paul Jones is going to appear in all of the answers. He's a busy fellow. So let's start with an a. That was, that is one of the answers. That was not the right answer, but who cares? We don't care about right or wrong. Now we're learning the sign of everything. So here's what answer aid looks like and then we'll break it apart. Okay. So let's break it apart and start with Tuesday. Yes, here's a sign for Tuesday. Alright, use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. The handshape is a letter T from the alphabet that we have that T there. Now flip it around so the palm is facing towards your face a little bit there. Now we're gonna do two circles. Risk doing Tuesday from the side, Tuesday, other side, Tuesday. Pretty straightforward. Tuesday. Okay. So we have the name we have Paul Jones. Let's do it again. Paul Jones. Right? Now we have walk too. Okay, so it's two words in English, but in sign language, just one sign. We can get the concept all in one sign. So here's a sign for work too. Nice and visual. I love it. Okay. So the handshape with your dominant hand, I'm right handed. It's just the number three in sign language. Now, take it and flip it over, kinda like these two fingers are the legs and this is maybe one hand or arm that's hanging out at the side. Now we're just going to start a little bit in, move the fingers and move forward like it's working. We have walk to. Now we're going to move forward because that gets the concept of two. You're going to somewhere right, in this case to the store. Alright, so we have from the side, walk to the other side, walk to run again. Walk too. I have seen other versions where you go like this and you make footprints that can be walked through as well. To be consistent in this lesson, we're going to be signing walk to like this. But you may see this, just keep that in mind. We just did walk to and where we go in and where's Paul goin? He's going to the store. Here is the sign for store. Okay, hand shapes, both hands, same handshape. Wonderful. Start like this. Fingers together. Now bring them down and we're going to touch our thumb. So we have these hand shapes right here. We're going to put them here so the tips of all the fingers are pointing straight down. Now we're just gonna go 12, right? So the tips are moving forward. You can say swiveling forward to motions. We have store from the side door. Other side door. Run again just to quick motions. Store. Alright. So we have a we learned all the signs as we did. So let's put it together and let's sign it. Alright, here we go. Tuesday. Paul Jones, walk to store. Dislike that complete dark, complete sentence. Wonderful. Alright, Again, here we go. Sign with me. Tuesday, Paul Jones, walk to store. Right? Let's do the N. Tuesday, Paul Jones walk to store. Magical. Okay, Let's do b. Here we go. This is what B looks like. Alright, I'm sure you recognize Paul Jones in there. Now for Friday. It's similar to Tuesday in the hand movement, but the hand shape is different. We're going to use the letter F. Friday starts with F. Handshape is the F. Wonderful, right? Same thing. Flip it around so the palms facing towards your face, you just do two circles. So we have Friday from the side other side, Friday and from the front again. Friday. Okay. So we have Paul Jones Well, let's finger spell it. Lots of practice. Paul Jones. And we have a two in English would be two words go-to, but the same width, walk to and sign language, we can get it all in the same concept. So go-to were just looks like this. Now we're going to use are the index fingers, both hands, right? So your pointer fingers, the number one, Start Here and there, kinda like rockets that are shooting up to the side a little bit. Go to go to, from the side. Go to other side. Alright, if you wanted to go a little bit off to that side, that's fine too. I just go up over here. So we have Goto. And where's he going? He's going to college. Okay. Here's the sign for college. Okay. Now it's based on similar to the sign for school. This is school. The hand shapes like this, fingers apart one here and go to school like you're gonna go study at school. But this is higher education. So we're gonna do a little bit different, similar but different hand shapes is going to be like this. Alright, fingers together comes alongside. I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand. Put it down here. Dominant hand. First, we're going to tap, go up and do a little circle. And when we finished, we have the two hands here. There's a space in-between. So regular school was like this, alright school. Now we're going to college, also works for university. You could do it. So we have college from the side. Other side. Alright, front again, college, slow motion. Tap up a little circle and then you stay there hovering on top. College. Okay, so answer B, let's sign it all we know the signs, yes. Here we go. Friday. Paul Jones go to college. Alright. Here we go. Friday. Hall. Jones go to college. Again, sign with me. This is an affirmative sentence. We won't have to worry about questions or anything. So you could just have a neutral expression or at the end you could be like nodding. Wonderful. Moving to answer C. Now Sunday is the day of the week, which is a bit different. Okay. Well, let me sign the whole thing first and you can watch an undo and then we'll break it down. Okay, here we go. All right, let me do it one more time. Okay, so let's start with Sunday. Alright. So what I did there, We have a hand shapes like this. Put him about here in front of your body. We're just gonna do a couple of circles that go, go inward. Alright, kinda like the wax on, wax off movement. So bottom-right here and go 12. That is Sunday, Sunday from the side. Sunday from the other side. Sunday from the front again. Sunday. One moment. Let me just okay. So we're on Sunday. But here a couple of motions like that, a couple of circles. There you go. Another version of Sunday that I've seen, which is quite common in school like this. Alright, so let's say high fives up here and then double high-five down here. So you may see that as well, Sunday be consistent throughout this lesson, I'll be signing sunday like this. Sunday. Sunday and lots of practice with the finger spelling. Here we go. Paul Jones. And we have Dr. two. Yes. We can get the English word is Dr. two-in-one sign. Alright, so take your fist, the letter S, right? We're gonna go like this and now we're just going to go drive to, alright, so here if you went like this, that would be car or drive. Works for both. But now we want to do to its motion, you're going somewhere. So we get this right here. Now. I'll just go forward. Drive to from the side drive to other side drive to you wanted to go off to this side. That would work too. Drive to drive to good, good. Now, hospital here is assigned for hospital. Okay. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. We're going to make the letter H from the alphabet. Right? Now we're going to take the tip of the middle finger and we're just gonna do a cross, a plus sign on our shoulder thinking like the Red Cross, you know, that little plus symbol. So we go across, then we go down. Now I have seen other people, sometimes they go down and then a cross B consistent, I'm gonna do the horizontal and then we're going to do vertical. That is hospital h hand shape like this and this from the side hospital. Other side. Hospital. From the front again. Hospital, right? Interesting note, if you use a C handshape and use the tip of the thumb, you go like this. Same motion over there. It can mean clinic. Alright, so with the H hospital, with this SI, clinic. But here we use in hospitals who will stay focused on hospital. Okay, Let's do the full sentence for letter C. Answer is C. Here we go. Sunday. Paul Jones, dr. to hospital. Sunday, Paul Jones, drive to hospital. Right. Again, sign with me. Okay. Wonderful. So we've made it through all of this, all of the answers a, B, and C. Well, we have another opportunity. Why don't we sign everything, we're just going to go down the list. I'll do a and I'll come back down to rest position. I'll do B, rest position and then see, alright, first time ago, slope, I'll say it out loud second time ago faster and I will be quiet. Okay. Here we go. Sign with me. Let's start with a Tuesday. Paul Jones, walk to store. Friday. Paul Jones go to college. Sunday. Paul Jones drive to hospital. Right? If you actually talking about Paul Jones and the conversation and you wanted to list what he's doing is kinda unlikely that you would say is first and last name. Every time. You could probably guess maybe the first time and then referred to him as he later on or you could just say Paul each time. That's fine. Okay. So let's go through all of them. I'm gonna be quiet. We'll go a little bit quicker. Let's do it. Here we go, starting with a, then B, then C. Okay, well, we did everything a, B, C, we broke it apart. We did all the signs. We did finger spelling, practice, practice, practice. Okay. If you need to repeat, feel free to go back and repeat as many times as you need to. Feel that boost of confidence. Okay, See you soon. 120. ASL Quiz #7 Full Explanation: Okay. Let me sign it one more time. I'll show you the answer. Then we'll explore and learn how to sign all of the answers. Okay, here we go. Okay. And the answer is a her uncle, Dr. okay. So we have quite an opportunity here. We have three separate answers. Well, let's learn how to sign everything. Okay, Before we jump into letter a, let's take a look at all of the answers. Well, they have something in common is very obvious. They're all questions Yes. In there, yes, no questions. So for a in English would be something like is her uncle a Dr. B is their cousin, a dentist see is his niece and astronaut. So they're all yes, no questions. You can answer. Yes, you could say no. I suppose you could say maybe. So. What do we know about yes-no questions in American sign language? Well, we got to do some facial work here, facial expression to indicate to show that it's a yes-no question. So you're going to sign it and at the end of the sentence, raise your eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. How this inquisitive look on your face, something like this. An easy way to remember for yes-no questions in American Sign Language is the thing that mentioned you're at a fence and you're trying to peek over into your neighbor's backyard, into peak over your eyebrows, go up, what's going on over there? Uh-huh. So that's a yes, no question. Face. Okay. Alright. So let's jump in and let's do, let's talk about letter a. So let me sign it first and then we'll break it apart. Okay. Okay. So let's start with her. Her just a pronoun. We're going to use flat hand shape right here. Now we're going to push once in her direction. So it might be married Sally, Georgina, whoever, but she's over here. It will just go her will just push once in her direction. It's a possessive pronoun her. If she's not here, What do we do? Well, we just sign off to the side, pretend there's a little imaginary person right there and you just go her uncle here is assigned for Uncle. Okay. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. We're going to use the hand shape of the letter U. Yes, like an alphabet, you now stick it here. About at the side of your head, maybe your temporal area up there. And we're just going to rotate twice. We can say pivot, twist. Maybe. We have Uncle, uncle from the side, Uncle, other side, uncle. In case you're wondering about aunt or, and it's gonna be in a handshape and it's gonna be down here, closer to the cheek or on this side, this level of closer to the tin. Alright? Alright, here we're focused on Uncle, uncle. Alright, so in this lesson you're going to notice that we have male and female signs. Uncle is up here, onto this down here, the handshape in this case is different. But in general, in American Sign Language, when we're talking about male or female, male is going to be on the upper half of the face and female is going to be on the lower half. E.g. we have Father, we have mother, we have grandpa, we have grandma. I see. We have boy, we have girl. Alright. So the hand shapes made maybe different than may be the same depending on the sign. But upper half in general is male, lower half is female. Alright. Once again, uncle. Uncle. If you remember on to what was assigned for and write a handshape, put it down here, twist twice, aunt, uncle. Okay. Let's move to Dr. here is assigned for Dr. Dr. okay. We're going to use both hands. And I'll start here with the hand shapes like this, fingers together, thumbs alongside. I'm right-handed, so my non-dominant hand, I'm going to put it down here, palm facing up. That's my platform. I'm going to take my dominant hand. Now. I'm going to bend the fingers down like that. We're still flat, just the fingers are down there. Okay. Now we're going to take the tips of the fingers and tap twice on the inside of your wrist, right? Like you're taking your pulse that area. Dr. Dr. you don't have to really jam it in there. Just tap twice nice and light. Dr. from the side, Dr. other side, Dr. Wright from the front again. Dr. another version for Dr. that I've seen is the non-dominant hand, just like that down there. But the handshape of the dominant hand is a letter D, like D for Dr. using these tips, we go 12. Alright, so that is another common version you may see Dr. to be consistent throughout this lesson, I'm going to be signing Dr. like this. Dr. alright. With the hand-shaped like that. Fingers bent down. Dr. Okay. So we have the full sentence here and it is a question, right? We already talked about yes-no questions. Raise those eyebrows, lean forward a little bit. You don't have to have the same expression like this throughout the whole sentence that would be kind of uncomfortable. You could do it, you wouldn't be understood. It's just more strain on your facial muscles. Muscles makes sure I would recommend recommend when you're signing Dr. at the end of this sentence, go like this. You can even hold it after you've stopped signing. Okay, so let's do letter a altogether. We know the signs. Nice and slow. Here we go. Her uncle, Dr. I rose up, lean forward a little bit inquisitive. Look. Alright, again, sign with me. Her uncle, Dr. Okay. Let's do it a few times. When you're signing her, my eyes just naturally go over there like I'm looking in her direction. You wouldn't have to especially if she's not hearing you're referring to her. Her you wouldn't have to look. But if she's here, you might might feel natural to actually move your eyes and, you know, in her direction. Okay. One more time and then we'll move forward to letter B. Her uncle, Dr. okay. Moving on to answer B. Here's how it looks. Okay. So we have their cousin dentist. Let's start with the possessive pronoun there. Wonderful thing about possessive pronouns in American Sign Language. They all have the same handshape or moving around doing things, but the hand shape is the same. So for there, we're going to go like this there. Alright, if they're physically here, we're just doing an arcane motion in their direction. So if they're over here, we could go there, there, there we go there, there up there and hot air balloon or on the catwalk or so, then we can go there uh-huh. Point in their direction. And if they're not physically present, what did we do when it was her? Do you remember when the person is not here but we need to refer to them when we're signing. Well, same thing there. We just do it off to the side. They're kinda like there's an imaginary group of people. We go there. Remember, very important, don't do, they're like this. Because if you go in front, it's no longer there. What is it? Right? It's you all. Alright, so we're pretending have this imaginary line. If you cross it, it means you plural. You all right, go off to the side. Either side it's there. Okay. Good, good. Cousin. Here is the sign for cousin. Okay. Use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. The hand shape is the letter C, like an alphabet, a, B, C. Okay, now I'm going to put it about here, level with my ear and I'm just going to twist twice. Alright, remember how we did Uncle up there? 12. Now we have cousin with the C handshape cousin. Cousin from the side. Cousin. Other side. Has it. Okay. So when we just have cousin by itself, the word is kinda, it's gender neutral. We don't automatically know if it's male or female. So that's why I'm doing it here right in the middle. We don't know. Right. But let's say we know that it's a male cousin. It's a man. He's the person's cousin. What do you think we would do? We would raise it up. We put it up here cousin. Now we've indicated that it's a male cousin. Alright, let's say it's a female cousin. What would we do? Alright, same handshape, same motion, but lower it down. Bottom half of the face, cousin, cousin. So throughout this lesson I'll be signing cousin kinda in the middle because we don't have a definite gender here doesn't indicate in the sentence. You want to move it up or down using your imagination, that's up to you. Okay, so once again, we have cousin, male cousin upstairs. Female cousin put it downstairs. Okay. Alright. Dentist. Here is the sign for dentist. That's right. It's a two-part sign. Literally we have teeth. Person. Makes sense. Okay. So for teeth, this use your index finger, kinda like an x, hence, handshape right there. Use the tip. You can tap on your teeth or just get close. Right? So that's t is show your teeth and it makes even, makes it even more clear. T. Now we need person because its teeth person. Now for person, we're going to use the hand shapes right here. Pretend there's a box here and you're grabbing the sides. Now just slide down. Person, person. Alright, so we have teeth. Person. In other words, it's dentist from the sign. Dentist. Other side. Dentist. Okay. I have seen dentist referred to just by tapping on your teeth twice. So the full sentence just going like this. Uh-huh. I guess the situation, the context is already dictated that we're talking about the person, the dentist, not just the teeth. Be consistent throughout this lesson, I'll be signing dentist teeth person. So I'll be sending dentists like this. Okay? And remember this is a question, all of the answers or questions. So raise those eyebrows, lean forward when you're signing dentists to look something like this. Okay, so let's do B. Let's do the full answer. Let's go nice and slow. Here we go. Sign with me. There. Their cousin dentist. Their cousin dentist. Their cousin dentist. Okay. So I rose up leaning forward at the end of the sentence here a little bit quicker. Here we go. Okay. Oh, I wanted to mention about dentist to I've seen it signed where they don't actually show their teeth, they just kinda happen their mouth. Alright, so you may see where people are like or people that they don't open their mouth at all. All right, To try to be consistent here, I'll be signing the full sentence like this. Their cousin dentist. Okay, so we have letters. See his niece, astronaut. Let me sign it will jump in and we'll break it apart. Here we go. Okay, so I signed his niece astronaut. So let's start with his. Alright, now the sign for his and her are the same possessive pronoun, single person, one individual. The open hand here. So just push in their direction. Now I put his over here. So I'm in my imaginary situation. Patrick is sitting over there, so I went his Uh-huh. Before for her. When her now, it just depends on the situation or how you want to sign it. Even if the person's not here, you could sign here this here. You could sign his overhear just be consistent when you're picking a spot where you want to sign. In this lesson, I'm going to be doing her over here and over here, just makes it clear and easy to understand. Alright, so his flat hand, I'm just going to go his onetime. Nice. Here is the sign for nice. Okay, use your dominant hand. I'm right-handed. Now think of the letter n, right? So we have the end there, we have two knuckles. If we go over It's an M. We don't want an m. You just go once. It's a T, we don't want it. We want an n. Okay? So for the handshape, for nice, we're going to use an n, but we're just going to let our fingers, index finger and your middle finger go out a little bit, right? So it's an n like that. Now we're going to put it at the side of our face over here. We're just going to twist twice. Nice. Nice. From the side. Nice. Other side. Nice. Alright, front again. Nice. So this is nice. Based on what we've been talking about in this lesson so far, how do you think you sign nephew? Niece is down here. Remember, in general, females signs lower half of the face, male signs upper half. So we have nice down here. Well, we're going to use the same sign, same handshape would just move it up. We have nephew. Nephew. Okay. So we have nice, we have nephew, same double twist. Just higher up, nephew, niece. Okay? So astronaut. Here is the sign for astronaut. Alright, another two parts sign, literally we have Rocket. Person makes sense, okay, to sign rocket. This is what we're going to do. Both hands, non-dominant hand, make this flat hand right here, put it about right here, palms face in a way, dominant hand. We're going to make the letter R in the alphabet. Now take this part of the hand. We're going to start down here like this is our launcher. Excuse me. We're just going to launch the rocket. Rocket.

Alright, let's do his knees a couple of times. Sine with me, his niece astronaut. Here we go. When you're signing astronaut, because it's a two-part sign. Rocket person. Don't leave any space in-between these two signs. You wouldn't go like this rocket person, right? You'd be establishing 2's different concepts to different ideas. So try not to make any pause in between. Just nice and smooth rocket person. Alright, astronaut. Alright, so let's sign everything. Shall we? Let's go a rest position, B, rest position, and then see first-time around. I will say it will go a little bit slower. Second time around, I'll be quiet and will sign a little bit quicker.

Then after that, we're going to explore and learn how to sign all of the answers. Here we go. Okay, so the answer is C, when Diaz don't want improve. Okay, so we have the answer, but let's take it a step further and let's learn how to sign everything. So before we jump into a, then we go to B, then C first, let's take a look at all of the answers and see what we have. Well, they're all statements and they all have this sign, don't want. Alright, so apart from that name, don't want. And then another verb. So we're gonna be doing some fingers spelling. Yes, we have firstName and lastName. So Gina Diaz, Gary Diaz, Gwen Diaz. Maybe they're all family members. Who knows? Okay. So let's jump in and let's start with answer a. So we have Gina Diaz, don't want argue. I'm going to assign it. Then we'll break it apart and we'll go step-by-step. Here we go. Okay. So first we have the name, two-part name, FirstName, LastName. We have genome, DS. Okay, so let's fingerspell. Here we go. Gina, ds. Okay, you notice something. I signed genome here and then Diaz, I moved a little bit over here. The second thing I did is when I did Gina G in a, I paused on the a just for a moment and then went to ds. Okay, this makes it very clear that we have a firstName and lastName, two separate parts of the same name. First name, last name. Okay. You may see some people that may sign it like this. Just pause for a moment, leave the hand there and then dU dS. That's fine as well. To be consistent when I'm gonna do is I'm going to do the first name. Gina has a little bit on the last letter, then I'll move over to the second name, last name. Okay. Let's finger spell. Jenna Dee adds a few times. Fingerspell with me. Here we go. Jena. Jena. Jena. Diaz. Okay, a lot of finger spelling in this lesson. If you need to pause the video and just practice until you feel more comfortable, until it just flows nice. That's fine. No worries. Okay, So we have don't want willing to an English, it's two words in sign language. We just use the sign like this. Okay, We've got a few things going on here. Now it's based on the sign per want in sign language. So we want that all by itself is one, like you want something want. However we want, we want to make it negative, don't want while we pull in and then we push it away. At the same time you see how my face is gone. Alright? Don't want. So the hand shapes like this, alright, put them flat. Now, pull them in, palms facing up, pull them in. We have the first part want, then we push it away. Alright, so together that means don't want. Ok. Now the face, like a mildly disgusted look or if it's really bad situation, you can really put a disgust to look, but take your head a little bit. We're just trying to set up the situation as being negative, the opposite of one, right? So we have from the side, don't want from the other side. Alright, front again, don't want, alright, Now how much you emphasize or exaggerate your facial expression will help to show how really you don't want it. Alright? Something maybe they like, do you want a strawberry ice cream you like me? Don't want. It's like do you want poison in your coffee? Whole wide. Use your body language, facial expressions to emphasize and embellish to explain and show the situation. Okay, let's go to argue. Here is assigned four, argue, it's a verb here we have argue, argue. Okay, use both hands. Hand shapes are the index fingers are right or the number one, we can say, we're going to point them in at each other, where it's going to drop down twice. I know swiveling down. Argue, argue from the side. Argue, other side. Argue from the front again. Argue, right? This argue it's common to have a facial expression which is not so happy as well because we're usually not like maybe if you're the spectate and you're watching people argue. But if you're involved in really great situation. Okay, So we know all the signs. Let's sign a, do it altogether. Nice and slow. Here we go. Fingerspell and sign with me. There we go. Gina Diaz. Don't want argue. Gina Diaz. Don't want argue. Right? I'm gonna do it a few more times. Sine with me, I won't be talking. Take it all in when you're watching me sign with me, we'll also watch what I'm doing with my body shaking my head because It's just a negative sentence all around word explain something she doesn't want to do, right? So we can communicate it that way with their facial expressions. Alright. Okay, Good, Good. Let's move to B. Maybe it's genus, brother or cousin or a family member. Gary. Gary don't want investigate. Okay. So here's how it looks. Okay. So we still have the don't want shaking the head, pull it in, push it away, don't want and we have a different name. We also have investigate. I'll get to that in a moment. First, let's fingerspell Gary Diaz, do a little bit of practice with just flows nicely and then we can add in the rest of the sentence. Okay, here we go. Gary. Gary Diaz. Gary. Gary. Yes. Okay. So we have the name now. We need don't want remember how to assign, don't want, right? So pull it in, push it away. Shake your head. Don't want. Don't want. Okay. Let's go to investigate. Yes. Right. 1 s year. Right. Here's the sign for investigate. You're going to use both hands. I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand. We have this flat handshape right here. We're going to tilt it down. Fingertips are pointing forward and we'll open part of the hand is facing to the side. Dominant hand. We're going to use that index finger and we're going to just slide off the tip. We're using the tip of the index finger to go off the tips of the fingers over here. Slowly. So let's investigate. I were to slide off the forward part of the open hand there. From the side. Investigate. The other side. Investigate. From the front again. Investigate. Uh-huh. Added note, if we're using this sign as a noun as a thing depending on the context, of course, it can also mean research, makes sense. We have to investigate, get information when we're doing research. In this situation, we have it as a verb, an action, so it's gonna be investigated. Okay? Alright, So let's sign a full answer. Let's do B. Gary, don't want investigate. Much drama with DEA, with Gina. There. He doesn't want to investigate. Here we go. Gary Diaz. Don't want investigate. Gary Diaz. Don't want investigate. Alright, so sine with me, Let's do it a few times. Okay, Good, Good. Let's move to answer. See. Gwen Diaz. Don't want to improve. Nobody in this family wants to do anything. Okay, so here I'm going to sign it and then we'll jump into it. Okay. So first let's do the name Gwen Diaz gets some finger spelling practice. Here we go. Fingerspell with me. Let's do the first name and last name when he is right again. When? When? Diaz little bit quicker. When? Yes. Okay. Good. Good. We have Gwen Diaz. Don't want. We've already learned and practiced it. Don't want improve. Here is assigned for improve. The hand shapes are gonna be the same. Flat hands, fingers together, thumbs alongside. Now I'm right-handed, non-dominant hand. I'm going to put it down here. Alright, so my arms there in front of me, palm facing down. Take my other one, maybe like a karate chop one. Alright, we're gonna go once here, then once up here. Alright, you can do midway somewhere here, but basically the forearm, forearm part, you go 124 forearm to bicep area. Improve. Improve from the side. Improve from the other side. Right from the front again. Improve. Okay, good, good. So the full sentence, we have the statement here, Gwen Diaz, don't want to improve. So let's sign everything. Here we go. Nice and slow. When Diaz don't want improve. When Diaz don't want improve. So sine with me, Let's do a little bit quicker. Notice at the end of the sentence, so I'm still shaking my head negative look at my face. Don't want part just has a nice strong effect on the next sign that comes next. It's just the whole sentence. He doesn't wanna do it. When Diaz don't want improve. Okay, wonderful. We've learned how to sign everything. We're at the part where we're going to do everything all at once. Boom, boom, boom. So I'm gonna go a, B, C, in-between each, each answer, I'm going to come back down to the rest position. So a rest position, be answered. Rest position. See, first-time, I'll be talking a little bit slower second time around. I won't talk. What does this boom, boom, boom. Go through a little bit quicker. Okay. Here we go. First-time. Gina. Diaz. Don't want argue. Hearing. Diaz. Don't want investigate. When ps don't want improve. Alright. Sign with me Here we go a little bit quicker. Nobody, it's all don't want, don't want, nobody wants to do anything. And easy way to put these sentences around would just be designed, want, that would just be the opposite. Alright? Gina Diaz wants to argue. Gary Diaz wants to investigate when Diaz wants to improve. Alright, so just like that, we can sign the opposite in sign about more situation. Don't want warrant. Okay. So we went through we signed everything. We've finger spell the name. Lots of practice there. We need to go back through you some more practice. Wonderful. Okay. See you soon. 124.

They're bird sick. I think. Die soon. All right, this is a wonderful example of how it's similar to English, but it seems like it's lacking something. But in sign language is not lacking. It's just really efficient. So there's no need to say their bird is sick because we don't sign the small words. Mr. Is Wadsworth, I think he's going to die soon. Forget all the other ones. Just say, I think he dies soon. You could even sign it. Think, die soon. Alright, even get rid of I if you wanted to. Alright, okay, so once again, sign with me, Let's do it. They're bird sick.

So obese is really unhealthy fat, just too large. So regular fat would just be obese, would be like you gotta put it in your face and your body movements just really embellish. This rat must just be huge, obese. Okay? So once again and shapes just loose, open hands, fingers spread apart, start in and then go out. We're showing some big right obese. From the side, other side. Your face, you can pump up your cheeks just to show really fat, really obese. Alright. Okay. Now we have I I think how do we sign thing? Do you remember?

Okay, we're going to end down here in a fist, a closed fist. But at the top we're going to have an open, an open starting to make a fist. Alright, it can be open like that. Put underneath your chin, go down. Think of like Pharaoh's like King Tut, his beard or whatever. And you're just going down the beard. Beard. Who have old, old other side. And I point, I think, think Die, die soon, soon, right? Let's do C altogether. Here we go. Their cat, old, I think, die soon. Alright, guess the theme of this lesson isn't super positive, but the signs are useful. Death in life, which is part of what we gotta go through. Okay, so see once again, let's sign everything. Their cat old, I think die soon. And dislike to offer condolences. They've loved the cat or the rather the bird. You'll put it in your face. I think die soon. Like it's a pity. Offering. Condolences I think is bad or negative that it's yeah. Okay. So we signed everything step-by-step, next step, next opportunity is to sign everything back to back.

So I urge you to not be frustrated if it's, if it's very difficult. What I would urge you to do is take your time, slow down the video if you need to contain the Video Speed and just go step-by-step and sine and fingerspell it all. The more you practice, the more confidence you're going to have when your finger, your body ability and it will become more smooth. All right, yes, Practice makes improvement. In this lesson, we talked about the answers and practice and we did practice for finger spelling and recognition exercise. Okay. 153. Test #8 Answers + Practice In Sentence: Okay, you know, it's time for answers in practice to our recognition exercise. How would you do? The answers? Are the person LeBron James and the movie Pulp Fiction. Okay, So why are we here? What are we going to do? We're going you're going to sign this, right? It includes our answers. So that means we're going to have fingers spelling and we're going to have some signing. That's right. Okay, So let's jump in and first we're going to practice finger spelling. The answers, get more fluid with those. And then we're going to put them into the full sentence. Okay, here we go. Brian James. Let's just do each letter nice and slow. Here we go. Fingerspell with me. L E B R 0 N G a M E S. All right, Nice and slow. Lebron James. Lebron James. Alright, so I'm doing the FirstName here. Pause on that last letter, then do the second name over here. You don't have to say it out loud. I'm doing it here just as a teaching tool saying it out loud. You want to sign in silence, fingerspell in silence. More power to you. It's your choice. Let's do it again. Lebron James. Alright, few more times, it's due with me. Okay, so that was the person. Now let's practice the name of the movie. Here we go. Each letter, P, U, L, P F I, C T I 0, N. Alright, nice and slow. Move, speed up as we go. Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction. Right? You probably noticed with the p.ball, we're kinda throwing it down there. P, p, right? Pulp. Fiction. Pulp. Alright, you're probably noticing as well, when people start finger spelling, the letters often kind of mold together. I guess that's one way of putting it. So you're not going to see perfect. Wow, like the W is just perfect fingers straight every time. And fingers might bend a little bit and they may not be as straight as finally formed as if you're signed the letter all by itself because it's just it flows right in the letters move from one to the other and the fingers, they kinda take shortcuts, but not so much of a shortcut that you can understand, but enough of a shortcut to smoothly move to the next letter. Alright, so in this one once again, Pulp Fiction. Okay, Let's jump to the sentence and we're going to sign LeBron James, hope, watch Pulp Fiction soon. Okay, or an English, something like LeBron James hopes to watch Pulp Fiction soon. Alright, so let's go step-by-step. And we're going to do each part, then we'll put it all together and sign the whole thing. First we have the name LeBron James. More practice, Let's do it. Lebron James. Lebron James. Okay, here is the sign for hope. We can use both hands and we're gonna be going up here, the hands or fingers together. We're going to put one up here, and this is my left hand, my non-dominant hand, I'm right handed, so put up here and then we're just going to put the fingers down. Alright, you kinda making two little shelves here. Hope, hope, from the side. Hope. You see that their hope, hope. Alright, once again, hope. Once, Here's the sign for what? Alright, obviously we're not talking about the watch who are in your risks. We're talking about the verb, the action, watching the movie. So make an L handshape, right curve that index finger down a little bit. Now, turn it right here and the tip of the index finger is going to point towards your face, start in and just go out. Like it's your vision and your watching something. Watch from the front again. Watch. Pulp Fiction. We're going to finger spell it's the name of the movie. Here we go. Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction. Soon. Here is the sign for soon. Okay, we're going to use both hands. Make the letter eight. Alright. You can even do the use if you want. I'll just do the h is right here. So I'm right handed with my non-dominant hand. We have the h is the handshape. Those are the H is if you sign them by themselves. Okay. So I'm right-handed my non-dominant hand. I'm going to put it right here. Tip is pointing forward. Dominant hand. I'm going to put that same age handshape right on top of that index finger. And we're just going to move it back and forth. Just short quick movements. Something is happening soon, soon from the side, soon from the front again, soon, soon. Now the idea is like shortly in a moment, somebody is going to be happening soon. Okay, so we did all the parts, Let's put it together. Sine fingerspell with me, nice and slow. Here we go. Lebron James. Hope. What? Pulp Fiction soon. Lebron James, hope. Watch Pulp Fiction soon. Okay, now I'm gonna do it a few times without talking. I'll speed up as we go. So sine fingerspell with me. Here we go. Okay, So repeat as you need, Pause the video, slow down the video, do whatever speed you need to improve in practice. Practice makes perfection. Know practice makes improvement the more you do it. The muscle mind, body, mind, body memory just becomes muscle memory and you're able to do it much more efficiently, much more effectively. So in this lesson, we talked about answers in practice to our finger spelling exercise. All right, See you soon. 155. Test #9 Answers + Practice In Sentence: Alright, answers in practice to our finger spelling recognition exercise. How would you do? Here are the answers. The person Taylor Swift in the movie, the gurneys. Okay, so we're gonna be doing individual practice for each of the answers. And the goal is to be able to use those answers in a complete sentence, right? First, before we get to the sentence, Let's make sure we do practice finger spelling. So let's do the name. Here we go. Let's do each individual letter and then we'll speed up during the full name. Here we go. T a L 0 R S W I, F T. Alright, so we have nice and slow. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Okay, in the movie The Goon is, let's do it. Letter by letter, T H E G 0, 0 N E S, right? So we have the goodness, The goodness. Alright, a couple of things here. The first word, That's the first word in the name of the movie. Then the second one we're going to move over just a little bit and do goodness. Alright, now also we have a double letter. We have G 0 and the 0 is we can't stay in the same place. People only think that's one letter. We need to make sure they understand it's 21o. Then the second row off to the side, you can bounce a little bit to slide a little bit, that's fine. So goons. Alright, so let's speed up. Okay, so we did the finger spelling. Now let's put it in the sentence and the sentence is in ASL, Taylor Swift, love, watch the goodness. Or an English, something like Taylor Swift loves to watch the goodies. Now is this true? I have no idea. We're just using a random celebrity name and a random movie. Okay, So let's go step-by-step and let's sign everything. The first one is the name. Alright, more practice. Here we go. Taylor Swift. Alright, here's the sign for love. This basically give yourself a hug with your two-fifths. That's the handshape lobe. We can say essence if you want. I'm right handed, so my non-dominant hands can be on the outside, dominant hand on the inside and just go in. Love from the side. Love. Here's the sign for watch, like watch a movie, watch the handshape, make an l, take that index finger, curve it down. I'll turn it like this. So the thumb is pointing up and the tip of the finger is pointing at your face, start in and just go out once. What I want. Okay. The Goon is we're going to finger spell the goodies. Right now. Keep in mind the dot by itself, just a word by itself, like the car, the ball, the house, whatever, you would not sign in ASL. So it might be like, well, why are we doing it here? Why are we figured spelling duck? Good question. Because it's part of the full name, the formal name, the complete name of the movie. Alright, so that's why we're going to finger spell it here. Okay, so we did all the parts. Let's put them together. Nice and slow sign and fingerspell with me. Taylor Swift, love, watch the goodness. Taylor Swift, love, watch the goodness. All right, let's do it in two times. Speed it up. Okay, Good, good practice, practice. Practice is going to make improvement. Slow it down. If you're getting frustrated, just go bit by bit by bit, piece by piece as slow as you need to, and then slowly speed up. Your only competition is your past self. So let me repeat that. You're only competition is your past self. So you look around, you're like, Oh, these people are citing so much better than I am. Well, that's not the focus. The focus is your improvements. So you compare yourself with how you signed before and the more practice you do, you're just going to improve. Okay? We just did answers in practice for our finger spelling recognition exercise. 157. Test #10 Answers + Practice In Sentence: Okay, time for answers in practice to our fingers spelling, recognition activity, right person in the movie. So how would you do? Here are the answers. The person Bill Gates and the movie, The Prestige. Alright, randomly selected. So first we're gonna do some finger spelling practice of the answers. And then we're going to take those answers and put them into a sentence, a complete sentence, right? Yes. We're going to go the extra mile. So first let's just practice the answers and we'll start with Bill Gates. So let's do each individual letter and we'll gradually speed up. There we go. B, I, L, L, G, a, T, E, S, right? So we have Bill Gates. Bill Gates. Alright, so Bill has a double letters, so we're like B, I, L, Then we need that second L a little bit off to the side. You kinda bounds or arc to get over to it or you can slide, that's fine. B, I, L, L. Then we move over a little bit to do the last name. Right? Let's do it a couple of times, speeding up. Okay. One last thing before I move to the next answer on Bill or the last letter of the first name. I'm going to pause just a moment before we go to the last name. Alright, just gives extra information reinforcement that we have a first name and then we have a separate lastName. Ok, So the movie, the prestige. So here we go. Just each letter individually. Here we go. T H E P R E S D I G E. The prestige. Prestige. Right, speeding up. Alright, so keep in mind here we're finger spelling because it's a part of the formal title here, right? So in general, when you're designing and stuff, you're not gonna be signing the because ASL doesn't incorporate that is not used. But when your finger spelling or when you're referring to a specific movie, in this case with a specific title, we're going to finger spell. Okay, So let's jump in and use our answers to sign a full sentence, communicator full sentence. So in ASL, something like tomorrow, Bill Gates will watch the prestige. An English tomorrow Bill Gates will watch the prestige. Now, do I have any idea if this is true? No, it's just a random celebrity Endo, random movie gives us good practice though. So let's jump in and let's sign tomorrow. Bill Gates will watch the prestige. Let's go step-by-step. So here's the sign for tomorrow. Okay. I'm right-handed. Handshape is basically just the thumbs up. We could also say that a handshape. So I'm going to take that a handshape and we take the inside part and put it over here next to my cheek. I'm not quite touching just a little bit off to the side and I'm going to rotate forward. So when I finished the tip of the thumb is going to be pointing up tomorrow. Tomorrow from the side. Tomorrow. Tomorrow from the front again. Tomorrow. Okay. So I have seen a slight variations to this sign. I've seen where it goes forward and twists a little bit tomorrow. Tomorrow. I've also seen it where it lightly touches the cheek tomorrow. Tomorrow. So many variations depending on where you're from, regional sign stuff like that. To be consistent, I'm going to be signing throughout this lesson tomorrow like this. Tomorrow. Okay, Moving forward to Bill Gates, Let's do some more practice. Here we go. Bill gates. Here is assigned four, will use your dominant hand. I'm right handed. It can be this flat hand here, right? We're going to turn it in, start the side of our face and go forward. We'll we'll from the side, will. Will, from the front again. We'll, alright, so remember when we did tomorrow, we had this handshape right here and we're moving forward. Now we're doing well and we're going into the future. Okay? Watch, Here's the sign. Watch. Alright, make the L handshape. Take the tip of the index finger, bend it down like hook it down. Now, turn it so the thumbs pointing up and the tip of the index finger is pointing in towards your face, your nose, right start in and go out. Like it's a lens and you're viewing it. Watch from the side. Watch. And we're going to finger spell the complete movie name. So here we go. Do some practice. The Christie's. Okay. We did it all. We practiced at all. So let's put it together. Complete sentence, complete concept, yes, nice and slow. So sine and fingerspell with me. Here we go. Tomorrow. Bill Gates will watch the prestige. Alright, again, Let's do it tomorrow. Bill Gates. We'll watch the prestige speeding up. Beautiful, wonderful. In this lesson we talked about and we did answers in practice for our finger spelling recognition exercise. We took those answers and we put them in a complete sentence, a complete thought. We're finger spelling and we're signing. That's what we do with the language, right? How often you just see finger spelling words all by themselves, unless you're like practicing or training or something when you get out there in the world. It's a complete mix right, of finger spelling, signs and everything. Alright, wonderful practice. Alright, see you soon. 167. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #1 - Answers: Okay, We're back and it's time for answers in practice. Right. So last time we did finger spelling and recognition, had my glasses on. I didn't say anything. I just finger spelled. And now you're like, Well, give me the answers. What are the answers that I get them right? Okay. So I figured spell the person, place, movie and phone number. Now let's get to the answers. What were they? The person Maria Sharapova, the police, Ellis Island, the movie Mean Girls, a classic. The phone number to 056-40-1942. Now I got these phone numbers just from random or random phone number generator on the web. So if it's the same as your phone number, I'm not creepy, It's just a random coincidence. Okay? So I could just show you the answers and be like, Alright, Have a nice day. But that would be a waste of your time, right? Because we would be missing out an opportunity. The opportunity is to fingerspell in practice everything. So let's jump right in and let's finger spell the name, alright, the person Maria Sharapova. Now I'm going to finger spell and you notice it's obvious there are two names. There's a firstName and lastName. So watch me the first time in see if you can tell how did I show how do I show that there's two separate names. Alright. Okay, here we go. Okay. What do you think? What did I do to show that it's two separate names. We have a first name and a last name. Well, I paused slightly on the last letter from Maria. So when I got to the a right, I pause slightly and then I moved over just a little bit to sign the next word, Sharapova. Right. Okay. So why should it again, I'll slow down a little bit. I did Maria pause on the a now I shifted over just a little bit and did the last name. Okay. So it's a combination of things, right? It's pausing on the last letter. In this case the a is waiting for just a moment and then going over to the second name right? Now when you're out and about, you may see people when their finger spelling, they may just pause without shifting over, or they might just shifted over without pausing, right? Either way, there's, there's something, there's an event, even though it's small and subtle. Once you learn in practice, you'll pick up on it. Alright, so I do a combination, alright, I'm going to pause and the last letter. And then I'm going to shift over and go into the next word. Okay, So a lot of talking, but let's practice. Okay, Let's first do the letters, right? Sign fingerspell with me. Here we go. M a R I, a holdout for a sec, alright? S H a R a P 0 B a. Okay, let's speed up a little bit. Here we go. Maria Sharapova. Okay. Now if you want to say the name out loud, that's fine. If you don't want to say the name out loud, as probably a little bit easier so you don't have to do multiple things at once. You can just sign. You don't have to say anything. Right? Let's keep going. Maria Sharapova. Okay. Keep going. Maria Sharapova. When you move over for the second word, you don't have to go away off to the side. Just a subtle movement over and then start finger spelling the next word, in this case the second name, right? And the purpose, the goal is to sign each letter at about the same speed. So you wouldn't go like this, m, a r i ae, and then keep going like that. It's trying to be as smooth as possible. So Maria Sharapova. Okay, Let's speed it up. Here we go. Maria Sharapova. Maria Sharapova. Okay, Now this is video formats, so you need to repeat, you need to go back, practice some more, great, more practice the better. Alright, I'm gonna move forward and we're gonna go to Ellis Island. Alright, so that was the place. What a history. You're not familiar with it. I urge you to look it up. Big part of American history. Okay, so same thing, we have two words in this name, alright, Ellis Island. Once you get to the S, pause for a moment, then move over and go to the eye for Ireland. Right? So watch me regular speeds, see if you can recognize what I do to go to before I go to the second word. Ellis Island. Okay. So I pause on the S and then I go over a little bit to start island. Okay, here we go. First, let's just do the letters. Nice and slow. Fingerspell with me. Here we go. E L, L I, S pies I S L a, N D. Alright, again, here we go. Ellis Island. Ellis Island. Right, continuing onwards. Speed up this a little bit each time. Alright, Bring your spell with me. I know you're practicing Ellis Island. Ellis Island. Let's do it again. Alright, practices going to make improvement. Finger spelling in sign language is one of the main areas, just practice, practice, practice, and it's going to make improvement, okay? The more you practice your hand is, you're going to start remembering the motions a minute. English, LI, this LL, the EA, there's a certain pattern of letters that are very common together. And the more you practice, the more your hand will be aware of going from E a to the I LL. Uh-huh. And quick note about Ellis. We have a double letter here. We have two L's. So you can't just leave it there and expect people to understand two L's. So you need to either shift a little bit or just tiny bounce a little bit. So e, l, l, or ELL, That's up to you. Alright, let's do it one more time and then we'll move forward. Ellis Island. Good, good, good. Alright, to the movie, Mean Girls. Alright, let's do it. I'm going to finger spell regular speed then we'll break it down into individual letters. Alright, so you see how I said a pause a little bit there when over to the G and then just fingerspell as smooth as possible. Okay, here we are with the letters fingerspell with me, M, E, a, N. Pause just for a moment. G I, R, L, S. Okay? Now I sign an E like this, alright, where the fingers aren't touching. It's common as well. It depends where you grew up, what you're deaf community that you hung around with. This is how I grew up in it. You'll also notice that the E is sign like this. Also very common where the tips are signing. You sign it like this. Great. No worries. Just don't be alarmed, are shocked if I suddenly this, because this is also a common alternate way to sign E. Okay? Alright, so here we go. Mean Girls, Mean Girls, feeding up, Mean Girls. Now there's practice, we just keep repeating. It is wonderful for your muscle memory, alright, to get that connection that you're making these letter combinations in the future when you have different words, but they have similar letter combinations, it's easier for your body because you've already made those motions, muscle memory, all of that stuff. Uh-huh. Alright. Mean Girls is speed up a little bit more. Mean. Girls. Mean Girls. Alright? And you're gonna notice when people start finger spelling quickly, their fingers are not being perfectly forming all of the letters. Because the perfectly formed the letters, you, it takes a little bit extra time in this word, girls, G, IRLS, if they're doing it fast, the pinky may not fully extend, alright? Because it takes too long. When your finger spelling and fast people already understand, girl, right? They understand that if the eye doesn't go up completely, It's still an eye. Alright, I will try to fingerspell as crisply and clearly as possible, but as I speed up, it may not be as crisp and as clear as when I'm going letter by letter. Alright. Alright, you're improving. This is what the improving signers and fingers brothers do. Okay. So let's move to the last part, which is the phone number. All right, we're adding in phone numbers, which means numbers. Okay. So quick thing about the numbers here. We are just rattling off sign-in fingers, signing off a series of numbers. Okay. So we're not counting. You may have been told and it's right when you count, you go 12345, palm palm facing in back of the hand facing forward because we're counting right? We're counting up the number series, right? 12345. Then we flip around for 678910. Now what the phone number is, area code, postcode, house number, whatever social security number. Face forward the whole time. So the poem is gonna be facing forward. It's just too confusing. Like if you went to, then you flip back around for zero for the five and you flip back okay, six, then you go back to the floor for, it just doesn't make sense. So when you're doing a series of numbers, just keep in mind, keep your palm facing forward. Long explanation. Let's get the finger spelling. So we have the phone number and we have a group of numbers, just like you would say it in English is very common and go to 05. There's a slight pause, 6401942. I suppose it's done that way, so it's easier to process. Plus when someone's writing it down to do a quick small group of numbers, then the next group, next group. So we're gonna do the same thing when we sign, alright? And we're going to pause, hold the last number before moving to the next group. So here's what it would look like. 205, all that five for a moment. 64001942. Might have noticed as well that I shifted a little bit between the groups. That's a personal preference. You wouldn't have to. You can stay in one place and just pause in between. That's fine. I like to shift and pause. So it's almost crystal-clear for my students that I've moved on to a new group of numbers. I swear it's easier for our brain to just process a group of three numbers versus whole group of nine numbers at one time. Okay, So here we go. Let's do it. 205. Pause for a moment. 6401942. Okay. A little bit quicker to 056-40-1942. Okay. Now you might have noticed as well that I'm doing three groups here before we had names and resist two names. We just went one and bonds a little bit to the sign. Since I have three groups, I'm saying the first group here, second group here, and third group a little bit back in. I'm not going 123, you could, but the farther away you get from this area right here, the harder it is for someone to understand you because they have to look at your hand and then they look at your face with your hand on your face. If you notice when people are talking in sign language. No, it's common to look at the hands, but it's even more common to maintain eye contact. Not only is it respectful, but it gets the X facial expressions and you're not only getting what's happening with the hands to watch advanced signers, they're able to just look at it each other in the face, right? And look at the hands too, but they get the whole picture mainly maintaining eye contact. Okay. So let's do this number again, the port number 205-640-1942. Again? Yes. 205-640-1942. So quick reminder, if you want to stay in the same place, you just want to go to 056-40-1942. That's fine. The reason I'm bouncing a little bit is because it's an alternate way to do it, but also it helps you very clearly see that it's a different group of numbers. Alright, one last time we'll move forward. Okay. Okay, good, good. So we did everything, right. We've fingers spelled the name, the place, the movie, and the phone number. Alright, so if you need to repeat, if you didn't get it the first time around, repeat the video as much as you need. This is muscle memory stuff and if you're just learning, it feels kind of awkward, kind of strange. But the more you do it, it's just gonna be fluid. It's like learning a new exercise that you haven't done our new yoga, yoga exercise at first, it's weird, right? Since it's not natural. But the more you do it, our mind, body connection, muscle memory, it just takes in and after why your finger spelling without even thinking about it, it's just natural. Okay, So this was answers in practice for the finger spelling recognition exercise that we did last time. Okay, wonderful. 169. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #2 - Answers: Okay, it's time for answers and practice to our finger spelling recognition exercise. Yes. So I had asked you to watch me while I was finger spelling of person, place, movie, and a phone number. Now we're here for the answers. So what are they? Let's see how you did the person, Clint Eastwood, the place, Napa Valley, the movie Django Unchained and the phone number 746-772-6092. Okay. So what else can we do? Well, it's obvious we're going to finger spell in sign everything. So let's jump in. We'll go to the person. It was Clint Eastwood. So we're going to start with just the letters will go nice and slow move speed up. Okay, here we go. C L I N T E a S T W 0, 0 D. Okay. A couple of things you probably noticed when I signed Clint. My hands stayed here. Right. Once it gets to the t, the last letter of the first name, I pause just a little bit, a little bit longer than what I was signing the others at the other letters at. Then I went over just a little bit to start Eastwood. Alright, and within East, what do we have a double letter, right? We have two O's. So once again, I did a 0, 0 because you can't stay in one place and expect the other person know that you mean to owes. You can bounce a little bit where you can slide a little bit. Oh, excuse me. Either way, I didn't Clint Clint has done the T, went over to Eastwood, made that double 0 and then the d. Okay, so let's finger spell and we'll go progressively faster. Clint Eastwood. Alright, you may notice that I did the double 0 and then when I did the D, I moved back in a little bit. You might think why? Well, when we do cleaned by hand, the idea is when we do a single word to leave your hand in that same position without sliding around. It's very easy to see that that is one word, right? So I do clint. Clint. Nice. Stay there as much as possible. Now, eastward. I'm trying to stay here as much as possible for the word. However, there's a double load, so you have to move over a little bit. Then I moved over and then I came back to that original position for the d. So eastward was like this, right? The d came back in a little bit to get back to the original position where the east started it. Okay. Finger, spell it all. Clint Eastwood. I know your finger spelling with me. Alright? Alright, let's do one more time. Clint Eastwood. In as you speed up. Probably notice on this one the w's don't perfectly stand out there because it just takes too much time to completely extended make every letter perfect. So the w might just go up a little bit and then to the right. Alright, last time, Clint Eastwood. Okay, so let's move to what is the place? Well, it was Napa Valley. Same thing. Let's do the letters and then we'll speed up finger spelling the word n a p, a v a L, L E Y. Another double letter L this time. So this slide a little bit over or bounce a little bit over. That's fine. Here we go. Napa Valley. So the first word I'm here, second word I'm a little bit over here, makes it very clear that we have two separate words. Now you may see where people don't move at all. They might stay here, but most likely at the end of that first word, they're going to pause on the last letter and then start the next one to be consistent throughout, I'm going to pause on the last letter and then also move over a little bit before I go to the next word. Alright, let's fingerspell Napa Valley. Right speeding up. Napa Valley. Napa Valley. Okay. That was the location. So what is the movie? Well, as django Unchained, okay, so let's do the letters D, J, a, N, G, 0. For a little bit longer because it's the last letter of the first word. You move it over just a little bit for the second name, N C, H a I N E B. Pay no double letters. So the first word, the hand is going to stay about here making all the letters. Second name is gonna be over just a little bit, but all the letters are going to be in that same location. Alright, so let's do it. Django Unchained. Right? Speeding up. Django. Unchained. Django. Unchained. Alright. Practice as much as you wait, I'm as much as you like. I'm in video format here. So rewind like crazy practice, practice, practice makes improvement. Okay, so the last one technically, I guess it's not finger spelling because we don't have letters. We have numbers. Yes. Very quick review. Once you're going to be doing a series of numbers, serial number, phone number, area code, Social Security number, something like that. The palm of the hand is going to face forward for all of the numbers. If you're just counting in a row, you're going 123456, whatever. Then you'll go back to the hand for one through 512345, then you'll flip around 678910. But for the numbers here, we're going to stay forward this whole time. 123,456,789.10 know ten but zeros in there. Alright, let's do the numbers. Here we go. Nice and slow. 746-772-6092. Okay, Now if you look, I actually did three little movements in there, actually an extra one because we have a double number, but we have three groups of numbers here. So like I would tell it to you in English is very common. 746-772-6092, right? So I pause in between the groups when we're assigning, just pause and the last number maybe move over a little bit and then do the next group. Alright, let's do it again. 746, pause over a little bit. 7726092. Now before when we were finger spelling the names, we just had two names. So it's one here and another one over here. Here. If we're doing groups of numbers, we have three groups, three small groups. So I started here for the first group, second group over here, the R group over here. Now I do that to make it very clear. That's how I do it. Very clear to you I'm signing out that we have three groups of numbers and it's just easier for the mind to process. If you want to stay in the exact same spot, That's fine. That's another option. I would urge you to pause on the last number of the group. So 746-772-6092. So it's just easier for the format to come in to recognize the small groups be consistent. I will be bouncing a little bit between the groups and pausing on the last number. Okay, so we have a double number in there, 77. So just do the same thing that you do with letters when you have a double letter. So you can do 77. Actually, I think I tapped twice at its 77. Either way we need to show that there are two sevens. You can't just stay here and hope someone understand. Okay. Let's speed up doing the number. Here we go. 746-772-6092. Again? Yes. 746-772-6092. Okay. Fabulous. So we did everything. Let's go back to our answers. Why don't we fingerspell unsigned everything. Okay, let's just do it altogether. See my hands in the way there will be. Alright, so fingerspell with me. I'll go with a nice brisk pace and we'll make it through everything. Here we go. Clint Eastwood, Napa Valley, django, Unchained. And the phone number 746-772-6092. Okay. We did everything fabulous. 171. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #3 - Answers: Okay, here we are answers and practice to our finger spelling recognition exercise, right? So I had fingerspell the person place movie and a phone number. Now you're wondering, did I get the answers right? Well, here we go. Person, Sandra Bullock. Bullock. Bullock plays Space Needle. The movie was Wonder Woman and the phone number 490-520-4417. Okay, We have the answers. How did you do? Well, now we're going to spend the rest of this lesson, finger spelling and signing everything. Here's the phone number. I guess we wouldn't call it a finger spelling because it's not letters, but we'll assign the phone number. So let's jump in and start with the person. Who is the person? Well, she's Sandra Bullock. So here we go. Let's do the letters first. Nice and slow will speed up as we go. S a N D R a B U L, L 0 C K. Okay. So for Sandra, Sandra, we're going to spell that FirstName here and we're going to move over just a little bit in sign. Fingerspell Bullock. In on the last letter of Sandra. We're going to pause just for a moment, then move over to the second, the last name. So let's do it. Here we go. Sandra Bullock. Let's keep going. Sandra Bullock. Alright. Sandra Bullock. Okay, a couple of things. We're doing a lot of repetition here and you might be thinking, well, what's the point of that? Well, there's a very important point. The more you practice something, the more prepares your body, your hand, in this case, to finger spell future words that might be similar, similar, or have a similar series of letters. Now AN how common is it to have AN or AND or RA in silent or when your finger spelling and your spelling words, whatever. So if we're practicing here, it gets it in our body, mind, body motion, memory. Okay, Another thing is that some people might not move to this side for the second letter, they might stay where they are, more than likely, more likely than not though, they're going to make sure to pause on the last letter before I go into the next one. Also, the purpose, the goal is to sign each letter smoothly at about the same speed. Alright, so we're going to go like this, Sandra SAN DRA. We wouldn't go like S AND RA. Now, it's just two jumping. It's difficult to follow what's happening. So just trying to maintain a consistent speed if you're going too fast and your fingers are getting all jumbled up, just slowed down. Now I remember and it still happens. That's like I need I just need to go as fast as they can. Well, I think it's even more important to be understood. So just because I fingerspell like 1 million mi a minute, I'm like, Yes, Everybody else is like, What the heck? Alright? So communication, clear communication is the goal. Alright, let's keep the finger spelling. Here we go. Fingerspell with me. Sandra Bullock. Alright, I'm sure you notice the double letter, the two L's. So one l In other one off to the side. Uh-huh. Sandra bullock. Right speeding up. Sandra Bullock. Alright, moving forward, what is the place? Well, it's the Space Needle. Haha. So here we go with the letters first, S, P, a, C E. Eyes move over N E E D L E. Alright, so we have the Space Needle. Alright, let's do it. Space Needle, right? Remember that double letter we1e, and then the second E, you can bounce a little bit or just slide to the side. We're going to bounce, make it a small bounds. We would want to go Wow, people are like Wow, what do they do it? Right here we go. Space Needle repetition. Space Needle. Space Needle. Okay, So we're moving forward. What is the movie? Well, it's Wonder Woman. Yes, it is. So here we go with the letters W 0 N D E R pies move over W 0 M a N. Okay, so let's do it. Wonder Woman. Wonder woman. Okay, one thing with the w, you're going to notice, as you speed up, it's less likely that it's perfectly formed. Alright, now I don't know, butts your hand, but for me for some reason it's just you got to pinch down that pinky and do all that stuff with the fingers up. And it just seems reluctant to go really quick, right? So as you speed up and the w might look more like this, a little bit bent, but it's still pretty easy to tell that it's a W because you add those three fingers up. Alright, well, let's speed up for Wonder Woman. Here we go. Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman. Alright. Moving forward to what is the phone number into numbers? Yes. 490-520-4417. If that's your phone number, I'm not creepy. It's just a random number, random number generator that I found on the internet. Alright, so let's do it nice and slow. We have the numbers 490. I'm pausing five to zero, pause again for 417. Okay. Now in case you're wondering these numbers here, palm forward, palm facing in what? Well, palm forward all the whole time because it's a series of numbers, serial number, house number or social security number, phone number. Leave the palm facing forward. Alright, palm facing backward for 12345 is if you're just counting right, I'm just going to count up to 1012, 345-667-8910, right? So six through ten is gonna be palm facing forward. One through five is palm facing back, but we're not worried about counting now we're worried about doing a number. So here we go. 4905 to 04417. Alright. Now, just like we would say it in English for 905-20-4417. It just feels natural to say with applies in-between the smaller groups. I also think it helps with remembering it when someone is telling you the phone number to put it down into bite-size pieces. So we're gonna do that when we fingers Bellamy sign as well. Alright, so I'm doing 490. I'm pausing for a moment. Then I do the next group, 5204417, double number. So just do the same thing with the double letter 4.4. Alright, another option you may see it's possible is that we have three separate groups. Remember when we did the names, we had two groups. We did one group and then move over for the second group. Now it's possible you may see 490 pies move over for the second group, five to zero, then move over again for the third group, 4417. Now, the third group I moved in because the idea here is to keep your hand in this box area because it's very easy to maintain eye contact while taking in the signs. Right? So it'd be consistent here. I'm going to for the phone number, I'm going to leave my hand in one place. I'm just going to pause at the end of the smaller group of numbers. Alright, so let's do it again. 490-520-4417. Again, 490-520-4417. Okay. Wonderful. Let's see what we have. Alright, so we did everything, all of the answers. Why don't we do it again? Let's do just go down the list and fingerspell and then sign the number. Let's do it all. I'll go to a nice speed and just go with me. Here we go. Sandra Bullock, Space Needle, Wonder Woman, or 905-20-4417. Okay. Maybe another note as I was changing between the names, you probably noticed that my hand went down, it went out of the fingers spelling sign-in area here kinda went down. And it's just a natural pause when we're going through names or whatever, I suppose if you want to leave it up there, you really want to. For me, it just seems natural. I did the name Sandra Bullock. I go back down, go to the next one, Space Needle, go down, Wonder Woman down, and then up to the number. Alright, we did it all fabulous. 173. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #4 - Answers: Alright, let's jump right into answers and practice for our finger spelling recognition exercise. Yes. I fingerspell the person place movie and a phone number. And it was your job to finger figure out what I was signing, what I was finger spelling. So here are the answers. Person Ben Stiller, the place petrified forest movie, Batman Begins, and the phone number 946-971-4475, just a random number from a phone number generator. Okay. So how did you do to get the answers right? Well, now we have an opportunity to finger spell everything inside the phone number. So we're gonna get lots of practice, lots of muscle memory, and practice makes improvement. So let's jump in. Start with the person. It was Ben Stiller. Okay, so let's start with each individual letter and then we'll speed up as we go. B E N S T I L, L E R. Okay. So we have Ben Stiller. Okay. So I signed my finger, spell the name Ben here. I move off to the side and signs stiller over here. This makes it very clear to tell it there are two names, the first name and last name. I also pause on the last letter of the first name. So like this, Ben, pause, then I go over to the spores stiller. You may see where people stay without moving the hand at all. It might be like Ben, the pause there and then Stiller. That's possible to be consistent throughout here. I'm gonna be signing the first name and the last letter. Move over and then fingerspell the second name. Alright, let's do it. Speeding up as we go. I know your finger spelling with me. Alright. Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. If you sign an E like this with the tips of the fingers down on touching the thumb. That's just fine. That's a very common way. I sign E like this. This is just fine. It's very common way. Just depends what deaf community you grew up in or who you hung around, who you learn sign language from. Okay. Here we go, Ben Stiller. Two more times. Ben Stiller. You remember in that double letter, right? The two L's. So one L, second L, you can bump bounce just a tiny bit or just slide over. Uh-huh. Okay. Let's move to the place. What was the place? The petrified forest. Okay, Let's do the letters. Here we go. P E T R I F I E B. Alright, pause for a moment. Over F 0 R E S t. Okay, so we have petrified forest. Okay? Now I say the words right about the same time I started to finger spell the name, right. You don't have to say anything to finger spell. That's fine. Quiet and focused is just just as well. Okay, here we go. Petrified forest. Alright, that petrified has a lot of letters. Good practice, what an opportunity will slow it down again just a little bit. Petrified forest. Right? Petrified forest. Petrified forest. Okay. Now practice makes improvement. Finger spelling. Sometimes our hand is just like law. Doesn't want to do what we want it to do. Just slowed down. I urge you to keep the goal in mind of clear communication. If someone has finger spelling a myelin men and they're like, yeah, I can finger spell like crazy, but no one understands them. What's the point? If your goal is clear communication? So even if your hands feeling jumbling, I would prioritize clear communication over high-speed. Right? Okay, let's move forward to what is the movie? Batman Begins. Very good movie. Okay, Let's do the letters. Be ATM, a, N. Pause and then move over b. E, G I N S. Alright, so we have Batman Begins. Batman Begins. Batman Begins. Alright. All this repetition. Repetition is wonderful for your muscle memory. Okay, so many words repeat the letters sequences, right? I mean, how often do we have IN ins or MAN in a word or a n? Now the more we practice, just because we're practicing a different word. Well by golly, that prepares us for our future word that has a similar letter sequence. Okay, so like I keep saying, Practice makes improvement. Alright, so this is a video if you need to rewind and do it over as many times as you want until you feel that you're where you want to be, just fine. Alright. Moving forward to the phone number, yes. Okay. So the phone number 946-971-4475, you are the lucky winner. Okay. And if this is your phone number, It's random coincidence. It's nothing crazy. Alright, so let's do it. Let's do the numbers. 946-971-4475. Okay. Remember, we're doing a series of numbers here like a phone number, address number, house number, social security number, phone number in this case, palm facing forward for all of the numbers. If you're counting up, like counting up through ten. First phi over palm facing in 1 234-567-8910. But here we're not counting, we're just doing a series of numbers, palm facing forward. Okay. Let's do it. 946. I'm pausing 971. Pause again for 475. Okay. So why do you think I paused in-between the small groups of numbers? Well, this think about when you're speaking with someone like what's for number 946-971-4475. It's not as common to go 946-971-4475. Me, it feels unnatural to not put some sort of break in there. So in sign language, same thing. Just put a nice little pause. So 946, pause a little bit on the 6971, pause little bit 4475. Now, double number four for just treat it like a double letter. You know what to do at once. Little bit off to the side for the second one. Okay. You may see this 946, first group, 971. They moved over a little bit, and then 4475, that's possible to be consistent. I'm going to leave my hand here the whole time, but I'm going to pause on the last number of each group, especially the first two groups, 946-971-4475. Alright, let's do a few times, get some repetition in there. 946-971-4475. Okay. Once again, if your fingers are not doing what your mind is telling them to do, slow down. When we slow it down, we can speed up just a tiny bit. And arts like our body in our muscle memory grows at the same time. Alright, just takes repetition practice. Okay, so we fingers spelled and signed. I say signed because we sign the number right. There are no letters in the phone number. So let's do them all. So these were all the answers. We're just going to go down the list. I'll go to nice, nice speed and you sign with me. Here we go. Ben. Stiller, petrified forest. Batman Begins. And the phone number 946-971-4475. Okay. I think it's wonderful to see you soon. 175. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #5 - Answers: Well, here we are with answers in practice for our fingers spelling recognition exercise. Yes. I signed a person plays movie and a phone number. And then you're trying to figure out what did I communicate. So here are the answers. Person was Kate Moss, the place of Virginia Beach, the movies Shutter Island and the port number 496-217-7643. Hey, so how did you do? Well, here we are. We're going to sign everything, so we're going to finger spell the names of place and location, and we're going to assign the phone number. So here we go. Who is the person? We have? Kate Moss, too short, sweet names. Let's do it. Let's start with each letter. We'll go nice and slow, and then we'll speed up K a T E M 0 S, S. Alright, so we have Kate Moss. Okay, so I'm signing Kate here. I'm moving over just a little bit in signing moss over here, and I'm pausing on the last letter of the purse name. So in this case in e, right? So we have Kate, pause, move over to m for mass M 0 S, S. Kate Moss. What else do we have? We have a double S, double letters. So what do we do? What do we do a double letters? Well, you know, we gotta make sure we show it twice. We can't just go like that. And assume that everyone understands is two letters. So you can bounce just a tiny bit or else just slide off to the side. Either way we need some movement there to show two Ss. So we have Kate Moss. Alright, let's speed up a little bit. Kate mass. Kate Moss. Okay. You might notice when doing the S is the double S is sometimes it's common to kind of squeeze each one instead of just being frozen in that position. It could be S, S, S, S squeezing two times. Different styles, different ways of doing it. Main point is to be understood clear communication. Alright, moving forward, what is the place? Well, it's Virginia Beach, right? Let's do the letters. Here we go. B i, r, g i, N I, a. Alright, pause. Move off to the side. B, E, a, C, H. Virginia, three eyes in there. Great chance to practice those eyes. Here we go. Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach. Right. Speeding up. Virginia Beach. Okay. Now, when you're speeding up and suddenly your hands not doing your fingers are now doing what your mind is telling it slowed down. Now this is not a place to be in a race, especially if your goal is clear communication, just because someone's signs like the lightning doesn't guarantee that people actually understand them, even fluent signers, right? So make sure that you focus on clear communication and not just speed. You need to slow down to be understood. That's just fine. Okay, moving forward, what is the movie? Shutter Island? Yes, Interesting movie. Okay, so let's do the letters S H U T T E R I S, L a, N, D. So we have Shutter Island. Shutter Island. Alright. You don't have to speak when your fingers spelling, I would urge you just to finger spell and fingerspell with me. Shutter Island. Okay. Now when you're doing each individual letter and in sequence, they're trying to make them last in length about the same time. So it's very smooth, right? So look how I sign shutter. Right? It's smooth, it flows. But what if I did it like this? If you like, pause and then break up the speed in the middle of the word. It's not impossible to understand, but it's much more difficult because people are used to a flow. Now if it's a slow flow, that's okay as long as it's moving at about the same speed, right here we have two words, two names. So we'll just pause and the last letter clear indication that you're moving to another word. Okay. What else do we have? We have the phone number 496-217-7643. Come on down and you're the lucky winner. Okay. So let's do it for 962-17-7643. Alright, a couple of things. First off, it's a sequence, this series of numbers. So palm facing forward the whole time, we're not counting. If you're counting, then the first five where you'd flip around 12345 and then onward. But here, palm forward the whole time because it's a sequence, a series of numbers. Alright? These sevens are kind of interesting here. Okay, So let me do it again and just take a look at what I do to make sure it's clear that there are 27 496-217-7643. Okay. So my hands stayed in the same place. I wasn't like, way over here, are moving back and forth. Alright. So did 496 I paused the indicate that small group of numbers to make it easy to understand. Then it went to E17. I paused, know my hands staying in the same place. What I did a seven I tapped for the seven again. 7643. Right. Let's see it altogether. 496-217-7643. Now, that's an option. Here's another option. 49 621-776-4371 was here and then another one over here. Now, to be consistent in this practice session, I'm gonna be doing the seven without moving the hand. Just tap for the second 1 496-217-7643. I'm sure you can see my ring finger going up to come back down and make another seven. Alright. Let's do it two times. 496-217-7643. Okay. Good, Good. What fun. Okay. So let's review what did we do? We did all of the answers. So let's finger spell and sign everything. When I say sine of well, you could say sign everything. But if you want to be specific to the first three would be fingerspell in the last one, or just sine of the number. So here we go. I'm gonna go into nice brisk risk speeds. So just finger spelling sign with me. Here we go. Kate Moss, Virginia Beach. Let's do that one again. Virginia Beach, Shutter Island. And the phone number 496-217-7643. Okay. Well, we did everything. Sounds good. 177. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #6 - Answers: Okay, here we are with answers in practice for our finger spelling recognition exercise, in which I fingers spelled and signed a person place, movie and phone number. Then I asked you to figure out what are the messages, what am I communicating? So how would you do get them on the first round per speeds are on the second speed. Well, here are the answers. Person is Paul McCartney, place, New Orleans movie Gone Girl. And the phone number 291-71-9464. Okay, so those are the answers. Great. But let's do some finger spelling and some signing. Okay, starting with the person who is the person? Paul McCartney. Let's sign just the letters first slowly and we'll speed up as we go. Here we go. Pee a U L M C, C a R T N E Y. Okay, Last Name has a double C. So we're gonna go CC, move off to the side a little bit. Alright, so here's what it looks like altogether. All McCartney, firstName, nice and short, lastName, a little bit longer, but we're up to the challenge. Yes, we are. Alright, let's get some practice in all McCartney, right, so probably noticed my first, the first name I put here, second name I put a little bit over in at the end of the first name. Paul. I paused for a moment on the last letter, then I went over into the last name, right? Alright, let's do it. All. Mccartney. Paul McCartney. Really know Paul McCartney. Okay, so let's move forward to the place. What is the place? New Orleans. New Orleans, new Orleans, however you pronounce it. Okay, so let's do the letters N E W phi's move over 0, R L E a N S. Okay, so we have New Orleans. I should know some people won't actually move over to this side, but more likely than not, they will pause at least a little bit in-between the words to show and demonstrate that it's two separate words, something like this as possible, New Orleans, where they don't ship it off to be consistent. I'm going to shift what do the first word here, second word a little bit over. Let's do some practice. New Orleans. New Orleans. New Orleans. Repeat as much as you need. This is a video. Take your time. Just practice, practice, practice. Alright, the fingers aren't doing what the mind is saying they should do, slowed down, alright, you can speed up incrementally after you've figured out and smooth at a certain speed, right? The goal is not to sign like lightning fast. The goal is to be understood. And the more practice you do, the speed will just naturally come. Okay? Movie, what is the movie? Gone Girl? Okay, two words in this title or letters, each nice, short and sweet. Let's do the letters G 0 N E, i's over g i r, L. Alright, so altogether, Gone. Girl, Gone. Girl. Gone Girl. Right? And I know that your fingers spelling with me. Alright. John, Bureau. Lots of practice. Gone. Girl. If you need to pause the video and just keep practicing and then move up to a quicker speed with me, right? Right. Why do we do so much practice? You're like, Why don't you just go straight to fast speed and let's just do that. Well, incrementally means we can get some, what is it called? Mind Body memory, something like that. We do the motions and it's like programmed into our body that it becomes familiar. Now why are we saying the same things over and over and over? Well, it's good practice for this movie title, but you probably will be signing other movie titles in the future. And I bet there's other movie titles within ON or an 0, an E, or an IR in them. So we already know the sequence of the letters? Yes. Okay. Couple more times. Gone, Girl. Okay. And the phone number 917-18-9464? Yes. Okay. So a random phone number. Let's do it to 917-18-9464. Okay. This is a series of numbers, phone numbers, serial number, social security number. So you're going to keep your palm facing forward the whole time. If we were counting up like 1 234-567-8910 and whatever, the first five will have the palm facing in 123-45-6789. And we're not counting in sequence like that. We're just rattling off a number of finger spelling sign and a number, right. So let's do it again. 291 I'm pausing 7189464 altogether. 291-718-9464. Okay. So you have a couple of options here. You can leave your hand in the same spot and then do the groups of, groups of smaller numbers at the same time, we have a group of three, then a group of three and a group of four. Now, if I say the phone number two in English, 291-718-9464 is just very comfortable to just group them like that and it's also easier to understand them if I then if I rattle off nine numbers without any pauses in between. So we'll do it like that when we're finger spelling or we're signing as well. Okay. Another option you have is to do a group 291 and move over for the second group, 718, and then move over for the third group, 9464. Now I didn't move farther out because the farther our hands out, more difficult is to understand and maintain eye contact. So for the third group, I moved back in. See that to be consistent here, I'm going to leave my hand right here. What I'm going to pause at the end of each group, right? So 291 pause 7189464. Right. Let's get some practice in 291, 718-946-4291bulous. 179. 4 Part Fingerspelling Test #7 - Answers: Okay, Here we are. What an opportunity to do answers in practice to our finger spelling recognition exercise, where I've finger spelled and signed a person place, movie and phone number. Okay. So did you get everything? Did you understand? Okay. Here are the answers. The person, Amelia Earhart, please. Bali, Indonesia movie Pretty Woman, phone number 270-552-1337. Okay. Well, you know what, we're going to jump in and fingerspell and sign everything. So let's start with the person who was it? Amelia Earhart. Okay, so first let's just do the letters will go step-by-step and we'll speed up as we go, right? A m e l i a e a r H a R T. Okay. So altogether Emilia Earhart. Okay. So I did the first name right here, second name a little bit off to the side and the last letter of the first name, I pause for a moment and then went to finger spell the last name is makes it very clear that we have two separate names. If you have a firstName and lastName, now some people won't move over to this side, but the most likely pause, right, and stay where they are. But to be consistent throughout in this lesson, I'm gonna be signing the first name, the first word, second word over here. So let's do some practice. Yes. Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart. Right? Speed up even more. Amelia Earhart. Okay, so practice makes improvement, right? Even though we're doing the same thing over and over, The purpose is to get it down because many words have an e, l, and m, I in them. And am the all these different letters sequences repeat and repeat and repeat through all the words that we're gonna be fingerspell in life and when we're communicating, right? So we're teaching our hand and our body motions to be able to do those movements fluidly. Okay. So let's go to the place. What is the place? Well, it's Bali, Indonesia. Okay, so let's do the letters b, a, l, I, I N D 0 N E S a. Okay? Altogether, Bali. Pause, move over Indonesia. Okay, now we have a double letters situation, but it's not in the same word. So we have Bali BAL II ends with an I, and then the next word also starts with an I. So because we move over a little bit to get to the second word, you don't have to worry about specifically showing two letters within one word, right? Okay, so let's get some practice in Bali, Indonesia. Bali, Indonesia. A little bit quicker. Bali, Indonesia. You don't have to speak when you're, when you're finger spelling. I just do it as a teaching method, but if you want to be quiet and just focus on finger spelling, more power to you. Alright, here we go. Bali, Indonesia. Okay, Moving to the movie, What is the movie? Pretty Woman. Alright, so let's do the letters P R E T T Y pies W 0 M a N. Alright, so altogether, Pretty Woman. Double t. So what do we do with a double letter? Right? Sign one and another one off to the side. You can just slide straight over or you can do a little mini bones. Don't do a big bounds because it makes people's eyes roll around it. It's not good for clear communication. Alright, so P R, E T, T Y, then woman. Let's get some practice. Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman, right? If need to pause the video because there's a certain speed you just want to keep doing it at until you want to move faster. That's fine. Magical videos, you can even slow me down or speed me up if you want. Okay, so let's do a little bit more practice, a little bit quicker, then we'll move forward. Ready? Woman. Practice makes improvement. Wonderful. We have a phone number, 270-552-1337. You're the lucky winner. Okay. So let's do the numbers. 270-552-1337. This number is a little bit unique because we have double numbers twice k. So for the 55, we'll just treat the numbers like you're signing letters. Do the same thing. Five slide off to the side of the second 53 mini balance you could do or slide. We need two threes, 33. Uh-huh. You probably notice I'm signing them in groups, just like I would say 270. Pause by five to pause 1337 when we sign it. I think easier to digest and also just assigning groups as well. And so just rattling off finger spelling off nine numbers in a row. So here we go. 27055 to pause 1 337-270-5521. 337 270-552-1337. Okay. Let's speed up. 270-55-2133. 7 270-552-1337. Alright, now the fast you go, moving to the side for the second number might be quite small, but the more practice you get your eyes are going to pick up on that. They didn't stay in one place. They didn't stay right here for two threes. I went over for the second one a little bit, how we have two threes. Okay? Alright, so let's, let's see. You might see, and it's good to know. Some people might sign it like this. 270. Move off to the side for the second group, 552, and then maybe vacuum for the third group, 1337. It's a possibility. I've been consistently signing it without moving my hand sideways like I did before for the names. Right, with the number four number here, I've been leaving it here. But the distinction between the groups is the pause of the last number. So 270-552-1337. Magical. Okay. So let's take a quick review. What did we do? Well, we fingerspell then we signed everything and I say sine because the phone number, we don't have letters, do not really finger spelling those. So here we are at the end. Another opportunity. Why don't we do everything all at once, okay. Well, no, one after the other. Okay. I'm going to finger spell at a good pace. You finger spell and sign with me. Here we go. Amelia Earhart, Bali, Indonesia. Pretty Woman. 270-552-1337. Okay. And just a quick note when I was going down the list here, my hand you probably notice it didn't stay up all the time for everything throughout. I've signed the firstName and I went down a little bit. Backup for the location down movie than phone number like that. Either way we have this box here, which we can call the finger spelling or the signing space. And the idea is to keep it right about here because it's close and it's close to our eyes and it's easy to take the whole picture in, right? So I went down for a moment. It demonstrates all he's moving onto a new concept, a new thought, or in this case, a separate idea. You've got it location, movie, phone numbers, stuff like that. Okay. Sounds good. 181.
