Learn | ASL Alphabet: Okay, so let's talk about the ABC is in American Sign Language. Ok? If you already know the ABCs, feel free to move forward in the course, that's fine. Alright, so let's go step-by-step and learn each letter. Alright, so we're gonna start with a. Alright, how do we make an a? Well, if you have an open hand, earliest down, put your thumb on the side. And it looks like that, right? So a, alright, let's go to b. Alright. We write B. An open hand is put, put the fingers tight together. Put your thumb in. Alright, it's good to know this. Some people sign the b like this. They leave the thumb on the outside, so instead of in there, they put it on the side b, right? That would be what we would call the open B, right? You're gonna see that later in the course. But some people signed BY like this, some people signed BY like this. Alright, so B, C is pretty straightforward. C, right? So from the Open Hand, close it up, turned to the side and does curve down. See, right, good, good, good. B, d, B. Alright, so from the open hand, we're gonna take the last three fingers and curved them down and put them on top of the thumb. Alright, so from the side it kinda looks like a rabbit. Your index finger is still up like the ear of the rabbit. So d, right when they saw you in the picture, it's like D. However, when I sign d, I just go like this. That's how I've seen most people sign it. It's the same sign. It is rotated a little bit because it's kind of awkward to go like this and you have to pivot a little bit. So D, D, E, alright, you might notice the difference. He's doing it different than the picture. Well, you're going to see there are different ways of signing e. I grew up signing E like this. You notice there's a space in between. Other people, will say, you need to do it like this. Ramsay, You need to do it like this. I'm gonna say you choose what is appropriate for you. I would do what your local deaf community does. The community that I grew up in, they sign like this. E dope, your choice, E or E. Either way, when you make this sign, right, put the fingers together, curve the tips down, put your thumb in and e, right? Or E? E. We have F, Right? So the fingers on top, some people put them together, f, I've seen that also that we go like this with them open and that's how I learned how to sign it. So f Well, from what we are going to do from the open hand, take your index finger, the thumb, from the side. Touch the thumb and there is an f. Alright, let's rotate. F, right? So f, g, Alright, so it looks like this G, you're not probably going to sign it like this G because it's very awkward. But the picture is wonderful because it shows you the finger movement or the finger placement. Ok, so this is how we would make it. Imagine you're telling someone the book was this thick, it was this deck, right? So we have index finger and the thumb, right? That thick. Now take that hand position and rotated forward. That is the g, just like that g. All right, so G, Alright, so this was this thick g being okay, h, h. So once the NGO sign like this carbon, I can assign it like this. But the pixels Good to see how it is, because it's just natural like this eight. From the hand position, we're going to get rid of these two fingers, put these together, put the thumb in, and just rotate forward, is kinda like a gun, right? H, h, right, i, i, k. So from the open hand position, these fingers in the middle are going to come in, rap your thumb on the front end. Leave your pinky pointed up. I. I, right? J is just an i, which are going to do a loop. Alright? So i becomes a j. J, alright? So when you make a j, there's no frozen movement, right? So I yz is like that, but j is going to have some movement. J, j, right? K looks like this. Okay. Hey, how do we make it? Well, with these two fingers down, but the thumb in-between, right. And I suppose you could say my middle finger's forward just a little bit, right? So k, k, k, L. Very straightforward. You probably speed seen people go like loser while they're making it l, right? So put these three fingers down, l, right? Right, l to m, right there we are. So the open hand position, this thumb is going to talk in here m. All right, let's see if we do that again. M, m, either three fingers, M, M, M. Okay. So n is, n is similar. We're just going to move the thumb over a little bit. So n will have two fingers. This is M. Now we're gonna do n, n, n, n. Okay? Oh, is about as straightforward as you get. Oh, just take like the letter C And now connected, now it's an o, right? P, E is just like that. It's like a k that was tipped down, right p, right p. Right? P, E, When you sign it, P. All right, let's do Q. You, alright? So q is like a g by Guide tipped over. Q. Do you remember the g is like it's this thick, the book was this deck. Q. Q. You probably wouldn't sign it like this because it's awkward. So this q, q, r, We're just going to cross the index in the middle finger. So r, right, and then tuck your thumb. R. R, S is just a fist, like you're going to fight someone. S. So it's a fist is not an a because the eighth domes on the outside. So you take your thumb and put it on the front. So S, S, T, right. Just put that little thumb in-between the index finger and the middle finger, right? So t, t, right, you, right, but these ones down, dom n And these together, you, you, you, right, u is similar to you. You just make a peace sign, right? Take the U and you split it. Or you can just say, you know, it's peace. It's also like the number two, right? Two fingers, please, man. W. Okay, and we're gonna do three fingers. Alright, so just take your thumb and your pinky, put those down and you have w, w, right? X. Think of like Captain Hook. You have a hook, Right? Right. So how do we make it? Eerily, these three fingers, which is done in and hook, bend over your index finger a little bit. Hook book, right? But when you sign it, you probably won't go like the picture, like awkward. So just do like this, x, x, this is the right hand shape and position handshape hand formation. Just go like that X. Right? Why? Why is kinda like hang loose man, right? Why do you say you're gonna face them in are going like this, going like this. So this part, your palm or face forward. Why? Why? Why? Use the index finger and just draw a z like trace a Z in the air. Z, z, the Zotero. Do you ever watch the movie or the TV show? Csi? Right? There you go. Alright, so let's quickly go through all of the letters and then we'll move forward. Alright, so here we go. Let's do the ABC is doing with me. And I urge you to say it out loud. Because when you say it out loud, you can kinda get a rhythm and then you just get practice in, then it becomes fluid. Ok, so here we go. B, C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y, Z. And now I know my abc. Okay, sounds pretty good. Let's move forward. 53. Practice | ASL Alphabet: Okay, it's time for practice. Ok, so let's practice the ABCs. We're going to see two videos. The first video we'll be at a slower speed. In the second video will be at a faster speed and we're going to assign the ABCs with the video. So I'm gonna say the ABCs out loud as we go. I urge you to see the ABCs out loud as we go because it just helps make a better mind-body connection and we can remember quicker. Alright, so let's stop talking and let's get to it. Here we go. A B, C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y, Z, right? Wonderful, fabulous. Okay, so that was the first bead. Let's do it a little bit quicker. Alright, here we go. A, B, C, D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y, Z. Right? What do you think? How did you do? What do you say we do the fast speed one more time. All right, let's do it. Here we go. A B, C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y, Z. Alright, so if we need to go back and practice some more, that's fine. No problem. Okay. So great. 54. Four (4) Fingerspelling Rules: Okay, because this course has a lot of finger spelling, it's a good idea to know the four fingers spelling rules. Okay, so let's start. Here we go. Number one, right? Use your dominant hand. Pay. In other words, finger spell or even sign, just sign with the hand that you're most comfortable with. Okay. So I'm right-handed for me, it's most comfortable to finger spell H-E-L-L-O with my right hand. Right. If you're lefty or even if you're a righty, but you feel more comfortable signing with your left hand. Go nuts. Alright, so use your dominant hand or in other words, just fingers bell, sign with the hand that you're most comfortable with. Okay. So this is the same per finger spelling and assigning whatever you're most comfortable with because the goal is clear communication and being understood, right? Okay. Right. Let's go to rule number two. Okay. Sign in front of your shoulder, right. So think of it this way. Pretend there's kind of like a box here, like one of those old TV sets that thick and big, right. So there's an area right here in front of your shoulder and that's where you put your hand when your finger spelling. Alright. So if I'm gonna assign or fingers bill, h, e, l, l, o, see how it's here. It's in the box. And the reason is when you sign here, people can still look into your eyes, make eye contact, but still take in your hand signs right? In what you're signing. The whole idea is communication and respectful communication usually means you're making eye contact, right? And taking in what people are signing. So if I sign like this, H-E-L-L-O, the farther I get up to the side, the more that people have to go. Right? They have to go back and forth to watch your hand and your eyes. So keep it in the box. Sign in front of your shoulder. Alright. So like about out here, you don't have to like go way back here where it's uncomfortable then it just is a headache for communication. Just, you know, right in front. And H-E-L-L-O low. Right. So let's go to rule number three. Ok, double letters. All right. Even that word right there, TT, right. Repeat a little to the side, bays, so I'm right handed. So family, spell this word right here. Letter or letters I would go L, E, T, T, ERS. Did you see you see how I move the T, the second t a little bit to the side, alright? L e t, t e IRS. Alright, so you can slide, you can go a T, T. Maybe you can just move it up and down a little bit. T, t. But either way we need some movement in there because if I just go TT, i mean they can't hear me. Same TT so others watching my hand and they're like, well, you spelled it wrong. Or two T's in that word. If you're left-handed, just go off to the side a little bit the other direction, right? L E T, T E R S, right? Either way you keep it in the box, right? L E T, T ERS letters. So let's do a little bit of practice. Why not? Right, so we have the name read or just the word read. Okay, so r e, e b, all right, r e d e is one E and then two e's r e d. We go, let's do Jennie. Okay, j sine wave, MY fingers, bow with me. Okay. J e n n y, c the ends. And n and n, j e n NY. Alright? You or else we have, we have Billy, okay, b i l, l i e. All right. B i l, l e. Okay. Good, good, good. So remember double letters off to the side for the second one. Number four, okay, rule rule number four is don't bounce. Okay. So let me show you two versions of this name. Okay, so we have Henry, alright, so I'm gonna finger spell it to different versions and you tell me which one is easier to understand. Okay. So here is version number one. Right? Henry, here is version number two. Okay. Do you notice it's easy, right? So if I'm bouncing, if I'm going h e n r y, you know, I am filled with good emotion. I have been able to sign with someone for awhile. Saunders like yeah, my aides, e n, r, y. By good positive energy is wonderful. But my bouncing motions are a headache for whoever's trying to understand me. Right. So just, you know, the person is trying to take it in, would like h e n. It's a headache, right? So the idea is to not bounce, right? If you go up and down a little bit, h e n RY, not a big deal, but when you start bouncing and flying around, it becomes a big deal because it's a communication barrier and we're looking for clear communication, right? So it would just be h e n r y. Once again, h e n RY, not eight EDM RY now don't bounce. Okay. Oh, I guess I should saw a visual. If you bounce. It's dizzy and makes people with dizzy because they're trying to follow you, they want to talk with you. They're thrilled. Deaf people are usually thrilled if you come up to them and you want to sign the like, wow, another signer, Fantastic. Let's be clear what their signs, right? Don't make them busy with your H, E, R, Y. Ok. So we talked about the four fingers spelling rules. Let's just do a quick review. Use your dominant hand. In other words, use the hand that you're most comfortable with. Number two, sign in front of your shoulder. So pretend there's like a box here. Stick your hand in it and sign. Ok, double letters. Repeat a little bit to the side. So we're doing hello, H-E-L-L-O because we need to communicate it's to letters. Alright? And maybe the most important one for clear communication is don't bounce. It makes people dizzy. Okay, so those were the four fingers spelling rules. Wonderful. 55. Practice | Fingerspelling Names: All right, let's do some finger spelling practice and we're going to practice with names because later in the course will be finger spelling a lot. Okay, let's take a look at the firstname. Here we go. Oh, in. All right, let's bring your spell together. Ringers bow with me. Here we go. O w e n. O w e n. Okay, we have all win. That's right. Alright, next name is Rose. Let's do it. R O S E. Again. R O S E. Ok, so we have rows. Alright? Next name is M0. Alright, here we go. E M I L, E M I L, we have M0. Okay? So let's make things a little bit more interesting. It's the hand. If we have the hand, that means we need the timer. Okay, so, you know, it lets do practice before the test. Okay, the next two sections, we'll do finger spelling and will finger spell names. So let's take a look at how it is the format. I'm gonna show you a name, you finger spell it. You'll have six seconds on the clock. If you need to pause for more time, nowhere is. Alright, here we go. Let's do it. All right, it's Rosario. Okay, so that's the first part. And the first part has a timer. The second part does not have the timer. You'll just have me and I will finger spell to use. So you take a look, what is he doing and you figure out what name. It's just gonna be a name, a short name. What MI finger spelling. Alright, let's take a look. So what did I finger spell? Haha, i finger spelled T8. T a, T, E. Alright. Tate. Alright, good goods. That will be well, the first part will be you finger spelling, right? You finger spell what you see. Race the timer. Then after that, I will finger spill. First subway wearing my glasses, can't go anywhere without the glasses. I won't be seen. Anything will communicate, will finger spell. Let's do it. 58. Learn | Dialogues A: In English we might say, what does Viera do? She's an interpreter. Aha. How do you think we would say this in American Sign Language? I'm glad you asked. We would say Work Viera, what do she interpreter. So here's what it looks like inside. Ok. So just quick, you probably noticed that the word order is often different from English. English, you'll also notice that they throw out the MR is, was where are the small words a and B? Sign language is very efficient, incredibly efficient. They want to get to the point and communicate. Okay, so let's take a look at the first part, the question, alright, let's learn step by step and make sure we know how to do it, right. We need to know the sign for work. Here it is. Okay, we're gonna take fists, alright? Or you could say the letter S. I'm right handed, so my non-dominant hand, my left, I'm going to put 1 fifth dot like this, right, with the top part of the fist pointing up, right, the knuckles like that. Write with my right hand, I'm gonna make another s And I'm going to take the part, the bottom base of the hand, the poem right above the rest. I'm going to tap twice on the top of this fist. Okay. Work. Work from the side work. Other side work. Ok, let's start in this 13 times. Let's do work. Work. Work. Work. Okay. Moving forward, how do you think we would sign Rivera? Hint, fingers, bell. Alright, we would just go V E R a right next part. What do, okay, this is kind of a combination, right? Who SAT is in lowercase to do is in capital letters. But together, when we make this sign, it means what do, and in this situation, you know, what do you do for work? Okay, so we're going to use a pincer movement with both hands, right, index finger and thumb, right? Get rid of these fingers, are gonna be going like this. I'm right-handed. I'm gonna put one hand here. The fingers are pointing straight up. Another one I'm going to put over here, okay, now I'm going to go like this. 32 or three time. Just tap, right? And it's what do what do from the side? Other side, What do? All right. Let's do it three times from the rest position. Let's sign. What do what do what do what do you kind of notice my fingers are, it's kind of a flutter movement is quite fast. It's not. You probably could do it slow, but at the sake of keeping good pacing communication is probably better just to do it quick. What do? Ok, arguably, the most important part of this sentence is that we're asking a question, right? We started statement, we want to find out some information. So how do we do it? Well. When we're signing, what do we need to put in some facial expressions? Now this is a W question. So we're talking about who, what, where, when, and how. Those kinda questions we're going to kind of frown kinda putting her eyebrows a little bit like this. Kinda maybe lift up your chin a little bit and have an inquisitive look on your face, something like this. Ok. So when you're signing what due at the same time you're making the facial expressions. Alright? It's, you know, you're looking for information. You're like, aha, that's interesting what he got over there. That's the same basal expression for a w question in American sign language, okay? Will be like this. What do, what do? Ok. All right, let's do it all together. Let's do this question. Alright, step-by-step work Birra. What do? All right, let's do it again. Work. Birra. What do I remember when you're going? What do? Which eyebrows down? You kind of frown in a little bit. Your chin maybe go up. Inquisitive luck. You're asking for information. Alright, so with that visual expression is very easy to tell that it's a question. If I go like this, it may be understood, but you'll be really understood if you go like this. Okay? Facial expressions are a huge part of communicating in American Sign Language. Embrace them and have fun with it. Okay? Alright, so we learned the first part. Let's learn this second part, right? She, we need to do the pronoun. She, right? Use the index finger or the number one you could say. All right, we're just going to point in this situation, it's Viera. So if she's present, she sitting over there, we just go see. If she's sitting behind us. We go. She It's just a single motion in her direction. She she's over there. She right. Some people say it's rude to point. It may be true, but an American sign language, you need the point to communicate, alright? Okay, so we're, we're going to use see the sheep pronoun, she. Lets pretend she's not present. What do we do? We can just point off to the side, write xi. Xi if you want to point over here, that's fine. She would just be consistent throughout your conversation, right. So she what are we do interpreter. Do you remember interpreter? Right. Okay. So altogether it's see, interpreter. She interpreter. Alright, let's put it all together. Alright, here's the whole little dialogue. Let's do it. Let's go sign by sign. Work. Birra. What do she interpreter. Yahoo. We just signed a nice little dialogue. Ok, let's do it again. You go work. Birra. What do she? Interpreter. All right. One more time though. Move forward. Here we go. Work. Vera. What do she? Interpreter. Ok. So let's change it up a little bit. Same structure, but let's change some of the details. Now we have the AND, and he's a scientist, right? Let's go through it a little bit quicker this time we know what it is. Work, alright, work. Alright. And d a and d, y and d. All right, what do, what do we need to do? It go like that. Remember the facial expression or Friday? A little bit. Inquisitive. Look what do alright. And he, he, he, she, in American sign language. The sign is the same, is gender neutral. Okay. So index finger and just pointed the person. Alright, if Andy's over there, Andy II, he right. If he is not present due this same we did as we did before. Point off to the side. He, he, okay, so he was a scientist. How do we sign scientists? Do remember. Scientists are haha. Alright, so let's do the whole little dialogue. Here we go. Work. And d, what do he scientist? Let's do it again. Here we go. Work. Andy. What do scientists? Okay, good, good, good. We're jumping right into dialogues and let's move forward. 59. Practice | Dialogues A: Let's do some practice before the test. That's right. Okay, we're going to be signing dialogues or I see the hand down there. So you're going to sign what you see. The structure will be the same as what we've already learned. Now the details, the names, occupations are going to change. The timer will be for 11 seconds. It's a nice chunk of time. Work your way through the dialogue. And if you need to pause the timer for more time, no worse. All right, let's take a quick peek and see what it's like. Here we go. Okay, so work when what do G for median? Alright, you might notice I sign the first sentence, the question, and then I come down here and then I sign the second one. That's optional. That's just something I do to make it clear what I'm signing. But if you just want to go straight through without resting rate, so what you might do could look something like this. That's fine or you can do it how I do it. Okay. So that will be the first part. You sign what you see. Alright, let's move forward. The next part will not have the timer. You'll have me and the little guy with the glasses, which means you're going to take a look, what am I signing, right? So I'm going to sign. You're going to be like a ha ha, he's doing something and you try to understand what I'm signing. Alright, let's take a look. I'm just gonna go through once. If you need to pause the video and repeat it, that's okay. Alright, here we go. What am I signing? Okay, so what did I do? Well, I've signed work. Gary. What do? E reporter. Okay. Good, good. We're putting our words to work, right? Everything that we've learned, it's in action now. Fabulous. Okay. Once again, first part, use sign. What you see up there has raised the timer. Second one, you watch me and I will be signing. Tried to figure out what I'm doing, right? We have the glasses, we have the knowledge, we have the wonderful positive energy. Let's do it. 62. Learn | Dialogues B: In English we might say, does herb one to become a plumber? I know he wants to become an actor. Well, in American Sign Language, we would change it up a little bit. But to get the same meaning we could sign. Why don't become plumber Herb? No, he want become actor. Okay, so we notice some differences. In the English version. They have the small word they put does in there too, a little bit longer. All right, in the ASL version they throw out the small word am, are, was, were, and stuff like that. And we move the location of the subject of the name her owl, right? So Let's take a look what it looks like. Right here it is. I'm going to sign it, then we're going to learn it, okay? Okay. Let's break it down. Let's take a look at the first question. This is a yes or no question. It's going to be important when we get to the question part of this sentence. All right, first, we have one, right here is the sine per want. Okay, from the side. Alright, so take it both your hands open hand shapes. Now turn them down to the palms are facing up about here, so super flat. Now, pull it, pull it in. Like you're trying to grab something because you want something, right. So we start flat and then our fingers kinda turn into clients, all right. From the side, one other side want, Alright, let's do it three times in the rest position. Here we go. Want, want, want. Okay, good. Very useful word to know. All right, next one become, Alright, here's what it looks like. Hmm. Alright, Both hands on this one. The hand shapes are going to be like this, right? Tight, like that thumb alongside. Now I'm right handed. So I'm gonna put my right hand right here, palm facing out. Okay. My left-hand, my non-dominant hand. I'm gonna put it right here. Okay? So we kind of have like an x may be, but just with the poems like this. Alright, now comes the magic. We're going to go like this. That is become. So basically we're just switching the hand placement and orientation, right? So this one started like this, it ends like this. This one starts like this, it ends like this. Alright? So like this, from the side, become, other side, become, Alright. Let's do it three times in the rest position. Sign with me. Here we go. Become, become, become. Okay. Alright, lets take a look 1 second here. All right, let's move to former. We should already know plumber. How do assign plumber? What do you think? All right, remember it's a wrench person which is. Warmer. Okay. And the name a half, we know how to finger spell. How would you finger spell her? H, E, R, b. Ok, so that's the name, but we're not quite finished with the sentence because we need to communicate that it's a question. Alright? So this is a yes, no question. What does that mean? It means you can either answer it yes, no, or maybe all right. Okay. So when you get to the end of the sentence, when you sign Herb, when you finger spell Herb, you're going to raise your eyebrows. Alright, raise your eyebrows, lean forward a little bit and have an inquisitive look, a questioning look on your face. Alright, so here's what it would look like. How we would bringer spell herb as a question at the end. Alright. Alright, see how I lean forward a little bit, eyebrows go up and I have like an inquisitive question in look. Okay, let's take a look at the polls sentence As a question. Here we go. Okay. You might notice for the first part of the sentence, I didn't have a question in look on my face. That's fine. It's kinda awkward and uncomfortable to stay like this. There are the full sentence, right? So just do it when you get to the end. Alright, let's see it again. Here we go. Alright, so sign with me, let's do it. Why can't become plumber? Herb? I don't know. Let's find out. Okay. Let's move to the answer. No, he want become actor, right? Let's take a look first. We need to No, no, no. Alright, so this is the sign for No, no. Right. We're just gonna use our thumb, index finger alongside the middle finger. Alright, and we're gonna pinch them down like this. This is the motion, alright? So pointed to whoever you're talking to, pointed at them and say, no, right? If you really earn an emotional situation, you really need to communicate no, you can you can do it a couple times with more force and facial expression or purchase irregular No, no. No. Right from the sign. No. Other side? No. All right. Let's do it three times. Rest position. No. No. Now, depends on the context, right. Okay. So he How do we sign he? And for our example, we're just going to pretend he's not here. If he was here, what are our options? Right? Use the index finger. Aps hear is present. Wow, it's easy. There is, right? He or is over there. He does not present. Remember to sign off to the side. He he Okay. All right, why don't we know what we know we learned become become, Right? And do you remember how to sign actor? Right. Okay. So let's sign this full sentence, right? Sign with me. Here we go. No, e 1t become actor. Okay, let's do it again. Here we go. No, he become actor. Alright, pretty cool. What do you say? We put it together. Let's do the full dialog. Here we go. Alright, sign with me. Let's do it. Why don't become plumber Herb? No. E1 become actor. Herb. We had such plans for you to become the top-notch plumber. Okay, let's do it again. Sign with me here we want become plumber. Herb. No, he want become actor? Alright, let's try it again. I'll be quiet. I'm just gonna do the signs. Sign with me. Here we go. Okay. All right. So let's take a look here. Let's see what we got. Why don't we try a different one, all right, same structure, but this time we're going to change some of the details. Why? Why not? Okay. Let's take a look. Let's do want become police officer iris. No, xihuan become actress. Remember how to sign actress? It's a trick question. It's the same as actor, right? Okay. Alright, let's see here. Okay, so let's do it. Once. Become police officer. Iris. Eyes up, question. Alright, my eyebrows up question, know, C1 become actress. So the sign for actor and actress, it's the same. It's a gender neutral sign. Okay. Once again, let's sign it. Will become police officer iris. No, she want become actress. Ok. Good, good. Right. If you need to go back and review, practice the words. Whereas that's why videos Fabulous. Okay, let's move forward. 63. Practice | Dialogues B: Practice before the test. Okay, so I'm going to show you a dialog or give you 14 seconds on the timer, you sign it, try to beat the timer. If you need to pause, that's fine. If you beat the timer like crazy, just sign it again. Okay. Alright, lets take a look. How is the test format. Here we go. Okay, so that's the first part. Raised the timer, pause the video if you need to know words, that's fine. All right, the second part, no timer. And we're going to have the little guy down there with the glasses, which means you watch me try to understand it's a recognition exercise. Alright, let's do it. See how it looks. Try to figure out what am I signing. All right. So what did I do? I signed want become carpenter duty. No. One become magician. Okay. One tip while we're doing this when I'm signing and you can't see the words, just say out loud what you think, what you understand me to be signing. Okay. Sometimes we just get a bits, bits and pieces. We can kind of put it together or how we get the idea. All right. So let me get my glasses. First part, you sign or use sign where you see. Second part, I will sign you try to understand what I'm signing. Alright, let's do it. Let's have some fun. 66. Practice | Dialogues C: Okay, so we've already learned too many dialogues. This one that ends in o w question with the rows furrowed, right? We've also learned this one that starts with a yes, no question. So eyebrows up, lean forward. What if we put them together? Well, I think that's fantastic. Okay, so let's sign the whole thing. Let's just sign together, sign together, and let's do it. Here we go. Work. Alex, what do he reporter. Why don't become Teacher? Pam? Know she want RECOMB pilot. Alright, small difference in there between he and she. Did you notice it? The handshape was the same but when we were referring to Alex work Alex what do and I said he reporter, I pointed here. He right. Then when it came to Pam, when I wanted to say xi, i pointed over there. Okay. So in our situation that people are not present. So if they were, we just point at them, but here they're not. So we need to point off to the side. Now, if we pointed off to the side for he and she, it would be confusing. Who are we referring to? Alex or PAM. Alright. So Alex came first in the conversation. So when I got to hear a reporter, I just did He off to the side over here when it came time for Pam to talk about Pam. And I had to say she said she over here, xi, right? So he and she hand shape is the same point with the index finger. One motion, what we need to differentiate the people. So he and she, Alright. Okay. Alright. Let's sign it again. Let's do it. Here we go. Work. Alex. What do he? Reporter. Want? Become Teacher, Pam. Know she want become pilot. Okay, good. Let's try a new oppress one. Aha, and let's make it a little bit more interesting because we're going to be getting into the testing and we have a timer, Good, good. So the Timer should give you a nice chunk of time. It does give you a nice chunk of time to sign through the whole dialogue. If you need more time, you wanna pause the timer, go through it at your leisure, that's fine. You wanna raise the timer. That's great too. Alright, so let's take a look how it is. Let's do it. Okay. So as you notice how it was flipped, the she came first and then the heat. It doesn't matter where you choose to do it, just make sure it's differentiated. So this time it is c over here, and over here, we need to make sure you know who we're talking to, talking about. So as I said, a N and E, And then I referred to her again, so I chose this spot over here. Then we introduce Jack and I use this spot over here to be he. Ok, so this is how the testing works. Timer, we need deposit, no worries. Go through it. We know we've learned everything right. We've learned all the vocabulary, all the signs. Now you just need to put it together. Alright, let's get some practice. This is real-world stopped. This is wonderful. Okay? And of course, a ha, next time you see me, I will not be talking and we'll do some signing. Let's do it. 68.
