I personally love your videos. Do not stop! My hearing wife and I, Deaf, had the similar relationship as yours. I told my wife that your videos have real authenticity than the most videos I ever seen on the RU-vid. Thank you for sharing those videos and looking forward to see more from you all. We both have two kids (2 years old boy and a baby girl). We were spotlighted on Sorenson Communication and Seek the World's channel because of my son who learned sign language as first language instead of voice because we believe that our house should be fulfilled with love and sign language to ensure that everyone has strong bond with each other. We are looking forward to seeing your kids on the video as ours. Again, awesome videos!
I met Nalley her senior year of high school. :) I feel like I knew the answer to most of the questions that were asked but I had a few random questions I’m not sure if someone asked. 1) Nalley- while in college, what accommodations did they give to you? Do you feel like you were adequately supported? 2) What businesses do you find have done the best to make accommodations if needed for you (ex: ordering food) 3) Chris- since becoming fluent in ASL, have you became a certified interpreter?
You guys are a beautiful, lovely couple showing the world how deaf and hearing worlds can collide well. I’m HOH and will be deaf in my lifetime and this is so inspiring! So excited for more videos from you too!
You guys are great. I am relearning to sign after 25 years away from it. Watching your videos is very helpful. I do have to slow them down right now, but I expect with time and practice I’ll get better at the receptiveness.
I remember when I use to live with you and your family I heard your voice the first time and I was very confused like wait you can hear? Lol good old days! We use to communicate with text and writing until I was able to sign with you a bit! Yes!! Music! We would sleep with it I remember!! Thank you both for making this channel!!
I just LOVE these videos, Nallely and Chris! If I may add a comment as one of your former elementary school teachers: yes, you were mostly exposed to Signed English in elementary school, but we did NOT use Signed EXACT English (SEE) because we did not sign all those annoying word affixes and did not sign every English word (no articles, prefixes, suffixes, etc). You also got some ASL in elementary school, especially with your mainstream interpreters, but it was mostly signed English that I used with your group and I voiced at the same time. One more comment: I noticed the interpreters used the words "Deaf Institute" instead of "School for the Deaf" when they voiced your signs. Isn't that the more appropriate way to voice that sign or has the standard changed back? No judgement, just wondering.
Love hearing from someone who was there! Nallely probably doesn't remember cause it was so long ago so thanks for clearing that up! Also, I'm not sure if the standard is "Deaf Institute" or "School for the Deaf". In any case, I'll take full blame for that! A great friend of ours does the voice over for Nallely but she is not an interpreter and knows little sign. In other words, that's what I told her to say 😅
Thank you!! We're definitely open to doing more Q&As. We just need a good amount of questions so we can make a video out of it. Let us know what questions you have so we can start working on it 😁
when she became deaf at 2 years old did her parent learn sign language? the reason I asked it becuz I know a few deaf people and their parent can't sign.
I would ask if you dream in asl? I have had dreams I'm using or others in dream are signing with me. I don't know if this is because I'm a student,learning.
