A Lamborghini is not a sloppy Toyota Corolla (10 ways to fingerspell the letter "E") (ASL) 

Hello ASL Heroes!!! Hey, I could really use your help. If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you. A small monthly donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com. Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!” www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G Thanks! - Dr. Bill p.s. Want to have your very own USB drive with four semesters worth of ASL instruction (that’s the equivalent of two years of colleges classes) for just $79.95? See "SuperUSB" in the ASLUniversity bookstore at: lifeprint.com/bookstore/bookstore.htm Take care and love to you all. :)

My fingerspelling is an old Corolla with a cracked windshield, missing a door, on blocks in a backyard with a bulldog living under it.

Yet again I realize that ASL is so versatile, expressive and extremely intuitive at the same time. Thanks a lot Bill, this is super helpful!

I think this set me back 20 years. 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ I might have to watch the video 2O-30 times. And I was so proud of my 2-finger closed "e". 😄 But thank you. That was a good lesson.

Thank you for continuing to post, I love and admire your passion for teaching ASL. Your lessons have helped me immensely and it made me really happy to see you post.

So helpful thanks Dr.Vicars! I have a bad habit of always using the closed 2 finger e and am always getting in trouble for it - yet I wasn’t sure when exactly to use which and my fingers just liked that best 😆. Lots of good-e’s to practice ;)

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I can see how intuitive this is and definitely helps my fingerspelling feel more natural and fluid. Tysm

Loved this, thanks, and good fingerspelling practice too. Question slightly off subject, but what determines signing a word in a circular motion like at 5:48 when signing "sale" or later at 40:49 doing it agin but modifying the "e". I've seen the circle with some other words but was curious as to why words like "sale" or "july" I've seen in a circular motion while others aren't. 🤓🙂

Very educational, love your teaching. Thank you for your expert informative lecture

This is good practice, my favorite is fingerspelling MEOW, like loading and launching a catapult. Oh, someone recently fingerspelled "EXIT" by kicking the E rotating into the X. Sooooo many nuances, and lately I misread an S as an M, it's all about flexibility. Oh, it seems the cascading hand in the sign "Beautiful" is like the fingerspelled "IFUL" cascade~

Great videos, thank you! Do you have a video/resource about all sign words that are used/understood by non asl speakers too? Like numbers 1,2,3 ?

❤❤❤

this was the best explanation of how you, Bill vicars, sign. I thought I would never be able to understand.

Thank you! I think this will really help me with receptive fingerspelling, and becoming better at fingerspelling. Will you do the other letters?

Thank you for the great video! I was curious if you have any advice on how students can understand fingerspelling better in conversation. I have troubles understanding fingerspelling that is faster and always have to ask them to slow down in order to understand.

Hi Dr. Bill, I've noticed, in your vids, that words with double letters (Conner 4:45, Reese 9:45, Emmett 11:08) the 2 letters are either signed individually or you slide the hand a bit, is there a difference? Are there times when you should do the double letter or is the slide of the hand appropriate for double letter words/signs? Thank you.
