Thank you for the video, though can I request that instead of doing them in English, if you're teaching ASL, then the videos should be in ASL, and hearing people can use captions if they're still learning?
Your dictionary is in the making, I see. Will you be adding a search window to access all categories at one time? Instead of by category and clicking each word individually... Love your video tutorials ... profound HL in right ear and severe HL in left ... qualified for two cochlear impants, but COVID had different ideas, so I'm learning ASL from you!🥰
Thanks so much. These videos are really helpful. The one thing I'm confused about is that you bounce/wiggle a lot of the signs. I know some call for this, but it's not always clear if you're demonstrating the full range of movement or just repeating the movement. Perhaps that could be a little more explicit in the future. Or does it not matter?
This video is criminally under viewed! Thank you. I am a skateboarder myself. Or at least I was. How can you sign, "When I was younger, I was a skateboarder?"
We took care of Dummy how's grandson at the nursing home until his death a couple of months ago. He was such a wonderful person. He would talk about his grandfather so much and how he invented the signs in baseball.
I am trying to learn signs to talk to my son at a game. For example how to ask from the stands if he is okay? If he is thirsty, etc. How do I say "Let's go" like motivating him to keep playing hard? As if to yell excitedly after a point "Let's go!!!"
what i have see is a lexicallized sign ... have seen golf with the letters it does the movement of a golf game if that makes sense, G is the tee, O is the ball on top of the tee, L is the driver hitting the O, and F is the ball flying after being hit. Ihere is a link to a video : got to 1:18 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w03pJhgUC30.html&ab_channel=ClevverTV
That is an ASL joke, not an everyday sign. It's like "past- your-eyes-milk" (pasteurized milk). "Lamp" has a more similar version to that golf sign. There's a lot of nuance to sports signs.
Where are the Deaf people on this project? I mean no disrespect in saying this: teaching signed languages should be left to the Deaf, of whom the language and culture belongs. Presenting ASL or any signed language voice on even with captions is a disservice to the hearing learner and takes away from the Deaf content creators who deserve the right to educate and showcase their language authentically and correctly.
I wish at the very least, she signed throughout the video. I am Late Deaf (loss hearing a an adult) and it's hard to follow the context by the captions alone. I have moderately less hostility towards CODAs who teach ASL as far as hearing people are concerned. Interpreters are an extremely gray area, I agree. I understand these videos are very basic for hearing learners, but it would be less controversial if it was accessible to the Deaf. What about Late Deaf trying to learn or Deaf children who don't have language access at home? These videos serve a very narrow population, and it is frustrating.
So go find a deaf content creator instead of complaining that she’s not deaf. She’s helping people who are not deaf to learn how to communicate with those who are. It’s amazing the things people complain about lol
@@utleyfan94thank you for saying what I was going to say… Why do people insist on gatekeeping things? This occurs everywhere, not just in the ASL subject space. People who believe that they get to determine who does what and when. ASL is no different than any other subject out there. Merideth has a business model and she is following that business model. If you don’t like it, there are MANY other content creators out there for you to find, rather than trying to change THIS one. Everything isn’t for everyone.
