I've started dating a deaf guy for about a month now, and I feel so happy seeing such an honest and successful relationship to look up to as a hearing/deaf couple 💕 Much love and best wishes to you both and your lovely fur baby xxx

My parents are deaf, so I know a sign language. But we actually use Russian sign language here in Kazakhstan. We have some signs in common but it is still hard to understand without subtitles. Thank you for making such videos!

Man that's a clean kitchen am I right. Have a good day to everyone that sees this

the aggressive “O F C O U R S E” made me laugh 😂 edit: the YAY omfg 😂 this editing?? i love it

1:04 : me waiting for Nevada to count the votes😂

When I see this, I don’t just see a deaf person and a hearing person, I see a happy couple who make great content. Keep up the good work Luv you

That "of course" in sign was just beautiful 😂

The most surprising thing to me in this video was finding out that Ellen is hot-headed. I never would have guessed because she seems like the epitome of chill haha

This is so cool, I have only seen people comunicate with sign language once and that was before I knew a little bit, it's so interesting to me and it's so cool to recognize signs such as coffee, these videos are dope

My favourite couple🥺🥰✨

when Ellen discussed your investment in each other - I think this is one of the loveliest things I've ever heard someone say about their partner! Love your channel and content, thank you for sharing your life and a bit of insight into deaf culture and a deaf/hearing relationship with us all :)

Love the video. Happy Birthday Ryan

OOOH Ellen your skin is so clear! You go sis 🔥🔥🔥

When you said “all the new ppl” I took a look at how many subbies 😲 So happy for y’all **happy dance**

Ryan be vibing with his espresso like: *Y a*

They are both just so smart about their relationship and relationships in general. People of all ages can learn so much from them and their relationship. 🥺❤️

I like that you guys are showing people that you’d don’t have to rush your life, and can live it how you want to rather than to the expectations of other people. Much love❤️

At the VA hospital a fellow veteran told me about your channel. I have tinnitus and slowly loosing my hearing. The specialist tell me hearing aids will not help much because of the type of damage to my hearing. My dog is hearing impaired, I didn't want to keep her but a veterinarian explained how easy it was to sign to her. She is now 10 and terminally ill. My heart is crushing for her. When your dog appears on the channel I notice her watching Ellen sign to her. Interesting to see her watching Ellen's sit sign. I just wanted to comment and thank you for your channel. I don't know what my hearing damage means for me in the future but I am brave enough to admit I am scared. I do tune people out in a crowded restaurant because I can't focus on what that individual is saying. I stopped asking people to repeat themselves when it is just idle chatter. The worst is the drive thru speakers. The sound literally hurts my ears and I just can't understand what they are saying. I never knew you could just go around to speak to the actual person. I did that yesterday and it felt much better, thankfully the employee wasn't rude as they were to Ryan. I am young so people often don't understand why a young person would have hearing issues. If you don't have hairs growing out of your ears just yet, you can't be hearing impaired... Watching the channel and loving your travel adventures.

You 3 are the sweetest trio on this planet. Thanks for sharing and showing the CC as it really helps! Love you guys too!

All these smiles make me smile!

Yesss drone shots! Camera work has UPGRADED that so cool!

Happy Birthday Ryan! I just joined the sign duo community not too long ago when your videos started popping up on my RU-vid page. I’ve been enjoying watching your videos during this pandemic. I don’t have too many experiences in the deaf community but I used to take sign language courses in college. These videos may inspire me to continue my education in ASL classes. So thank you from Minnesota!

Happy birthday Ryan! Thank you both for opening up and sharing your world with us! Wishing you a year of joy, love, and blessings!

8:37 That extra look Ryan gave her to confirm she wasn't offended when she looked away for a second.

I appreciate you guys so much 😊 Always genuine, humble, down-to-earth, and easy-going. Thank you guys so much for sharing your lives with all of us.

Yay! Loved this! Love when you two share you lives. Thanks!

That smile as he said(signed? Which do deaf people prefer?) You have to deal with me and stay with me had me chortling.

I've taken to watching your videos to help myself learn ASL. I catch onto signs either of you do and associate them with words from the CC, then I can usually remember them for later (or in future videos.) It's very useful, entertaining, and informative. I'm slowly getting to the point where I don't need captions anymore! Love your vids! :D

Honestly you guys give me hope, you are a cute family 🥺 and I wish you the best ❤️

Thank you for being open to share! I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos!

I am grateful that I can hear, but goodness. I feel humbled by you two. Not only that, watching you two is heartwarming. I don't know how a relationship can get better than you two working it out without vocals. Keep up the content and keep up the love! Much love from south Georgia, US!

Better late than ever, i guess? Thank you very, very much for giving us a place to learn such a gold language as sign and for especially, teaching us more about respect. Much love from Albania! ✌🇦🇱

not me questioning why I couldn't understand Ryan and then realizing my CC was off...

Happy Birthday!!! The world was graced with the beautiful soul that is you.

You two are the cutest couple I’ve seen in a very long time. The love and energy you share online, including the vulnerablitiy and honesty, provides a model for not only intercultural relationships, but ALL relationships, for all of humanity. Thank you for being a light onto this world. 🤟🏾❤️

Wow, started watching you guys yesterday and I’m already obsessed 😂, now I kinda wanna learn ASL

Woah you guys are the first RU-vidrs I can say I've followed from the beginning - I didn't realise how amazingly your channels grown! I started following you back when you went to Knott's Berry Farm! Sending you love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💖

I love what this channel provides the public. Many hearing people have a hard time seeing the beauty and benefit the two of you share. ASL can be useful in other situations and I am grateful and embrace the language and culture and I hope the rest of the world will be able to as well. I wish Ryan a joyful, safe, and a fun filled happy birthday and sending much love to the both of you from the state of Hawaii!! 🥳🤙🤟

Love that vlog segment in the middle☺️ so sweet and endearing to see your family play together ♥️

3:05 "What did you fingerspell?" idk why but that cracked me up a little

This was so fun! I'm a newer viewer to the channel this year, so it was great to get to know you both as well ^^ this channel is a breath of fresh air and makes me slow my day down, so I'm grateful to you both for this content

Happy (belated) birthday Ryan! Y’all are so fun to watch and your puppy is so cute! 🥰

I love yall. I'm so glad you two are happy together and have a good life going for you. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN! :)

I love watching Ellen sign, there's just something so memorizing about it! Don't get me wrong, Ryan signs just as beautifully, but the way Ellen's fingers move is very captivating!

you guys are awesome! thank you for letting us share your life with you

I love watching your videos, & I am new to watching you guys. I took a sign language class many years ago, & only recently, at my job, come in contact with a deaf person, & was looking to learn some signs, & was looking up videos on youtube, & you were a suggestion the next day on my feed. I try not to judge or assume anything about anyone or about a couple or family, but it warms my heart to see the 2 of you together, & how open you are with posting these videos on youtube. Hope you are both well in this crazy covid time, & hope you both have many more years of happiness & love! (And like I said, I love watching your videos-please keep them coming! You both are truly inspirations!)

At 1:08 it looked like Ellen was going to fall asleep 😭😂😂😭

One of their videos was on my recommend, and I just though to myself “why would anyone watch a video with hardly anyone talking in it, it can’t be interesting” I just looked a the video for a few seconds and told myself “no, this seems different. I think I might actually like their Chanel, it’s something different, something I can learn from. Be more understand about it.” I’m so glad I found this Chanel! I love it, I’m mad at myself that I doubted this Chanel and kinda judge it without even watching it first. Im actually hooked on these videos!

Happy Birthday Ryan! You guys are so awesome. All your videos make me smile. Stay awesome. Both of you.

Happy Birthday Ryan....You guys are awesome !!

Ryan can you feel when Ellen talks out loud verses when Ellen is just mouthing the words and not talking or is there no difference?

13:50 aww he looked so proud of how she answered that

Y'all should leave more clips in of you two just goofing around, it's really heartwarming to see 🙌✨🥰

Man, you guys are "boss" over the same things my hubs and I are. I love you guys. You are so kind and loving to each other and to Java. Thanks for sharing this little part of your lives with everyone.

The most adorable couple on earth

"cut and paste" LOL I love you guys!

Best couple on RU-vid!! Very chill & lighthearted & fun. I always learn something new from the 2 of you ❤️

You two make me smile 😊 every time I watch your videos !! 🤗

We missed youu❣️❣️

I love how your videos are really just you guys talking and living your lives, while also giving your audience so much education about your relationship and the deaf community. It’s pretty amazing.

y’all are so awesome!!! I’ve been here for a few months and there never seems to be a dull moment between you too. Love you guys!

I'm just happy I get to see a little bit of your lives. Thank you for sharing :) I wish you guys the best!

Ayyy! The early gang!🙌🏾 when u realize the caption's not on and u understood a little...😗🤗it's funny cause i watch that specific video a week ago and my dog turned one last month!🥰😍

I told my ASL II teacher about you. We watched your last video in class today. Absolutely love you guys. You've taught my class and I new signs and things about the deaf community. Thanks so much for doing this. ❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe!

Happy birthday Ryan! I’ve been watching since before you got Java. You deserve all your successes!

Happy birthday Ryan!!!! Also all those cool aerial shots 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Also, my wife & I have been married for 42 (soon to be 43) years. Never lived together before marriage. Anthony

So 🙋‍♀️ I'm new here! I love watching you guys, it feels like home 😍 so a lil about me, I grew up in a non hearing household! My dad was born deaf, and my mom caught rubella as a small child and caused one of her ear drums to bust. So they met at the school for the deaf. 😍

this channel has taught me so much ASL, thanks so much you guys!! You two really are an inspiration !!

I loved the scene at the park 💕 you can tell how much you guys love and respect each other!

When you have the option between cc and a translator on a speech or something, which do you normally take?

This is the exact reason that I'm trying to learn ASL so if someone ever walks into my store or I ever encounter someone that is deaf i can communicate in an effective and respectful manner.

Enjoyed watching this! Happy belated birthday to Ryan.

Great video!! I loved it. Happy birthday, Ryan!! Hope your day is great!

Happy happy birthday Ryan!! 🥳🥳🥳

When they added the "sipping latte" caption for some reason I was dying of laughter

Happy Belated Birthday Ryan!!!

Drone shots and creative angles made the video look very well produced, Sign Duo!! I really enjoyed it!

I love ur videos y’all are amazing

I don't ever recall subscribing to this channel which is strange because I just started taking sign language a month ago, what a coincidence

Music comes on at 9:17 - I start tearing up smiling...you two are adorable!! Wish nothing but the best in your future!!

Happy birthday! Wishing for many more!

Thank you for including my assumption! I’m both shy and an introvert as well! I have actually been really shy about commenting on your videos lately because your channel is growing so much and I always think my comment will get lost in the sea of comments and you guys will never see it haha. But I’m still here and watching every video you upload! I love your guys channel 🤟 And HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN! Hope you had a lovely birthday! 🥳

Question for Ryan: Have you ever tried bone-conduction headphones, and if so, what do you think of them? I use them while swimming, and it’s surprising how effective they are under water. I know it’s different for everyone based on which particular hearing pathway is affected, so I was wondering if you had any personal experience with them. Cheers!

You guys both, as a team, have the best videos for understanding deaf culture. I commend you both. So glad you found each other.

Happy birthday, men!!!! Wish you all the best!!! You guys are great!!

silly question but if ryan‘s a human lie detector, can elle ever throw a suprise birthday party👀 happy belated birthday!!

In the beginning when Ellen leans on the coffee press, I felt that. Such a 2020 mood. Happy birthday, Ryan, from a fellow Scorpio! :D

Ryan and Ellen, I love what you're doing so much! You are beautiful human beings and I'm grateful for this window into your world. Keep doing what you're doing - you're amazing.

Yall are so amazing!!!I look forward to watching your videos and learning new signs and seeing if I can understand what yall are signing!!! Thank you for showing the world this!!:)

2:18 Ellen's little yay XD i love it

the counter- it's so shiny-

Love your videos!! Happy birthday Ryan!!

Happy birthday Ryan!! Have a great day!! Love u both

I love how Ellen never tries to speak for Ryan and lets him speak in sign language for himself

Your lady doesnt seem to look at your hands when you sign. Like she can read your words by looking in your eyes. Thats amazing

Your guys' channel is one of my favorites. I desperately want to learn ASL!

Happy Belated Birthday, Ryan! Hope you had a good one! I was really happy to see this video and learn a lot about you guys since I am sorta newish to your channel.
