Journey into the Deaf World: ASL version with captions (no slides) 

I don't know how I got here and I can't believe I just watched this entire video. I have been enlighten a great deal. I no longer live in ignorance about deaf ppl.

I pray the Lord lead us to more and more appreciate the value and need, to encourage the rights of the deaf culture as a gift to all cultures, especially for the benefit of deaf children!

Hi. My name is David Barban. I am a special education teacher since 1984. I startrd working at the age of 20 in Los Angeles. One day, my director came to us, and said:"We are going to have some deaf-mute children". Therefore, you must learn some ASL. I learnt 8 years of ASL in Santa monica college. I was born in Paris, and decided to learn french sign language. When my mom died, I came back to Israel, learnt hebrew-hebrew sign language. You are right in everything you say. I gree with you 100%.

Hey, i'm actually getting my B.A. in interpreting right now. It's very important in educational interpreting to have 2 interpreters to make sure that the message is conveyed very clearly. If the speaking interpreter misses something, it's the second interpreters job to tell them what they missed. Then they alternate every few minutes to ensure they one doesn't become overly exhausted and start to lose clarity in their interpreting. hope this was helpful.

I never understood what people who are deaf go through. My heart was opened when I adopted a Chihuahua puppy and realized he was partially deaf. He can't hear me. I'm so thankful for watching peoples face and the signs they give. WE are working on 'communicate' !!

Wow! I learned quite a few things from this video even though I was born Deaf and first language is ASL, thanks for sharing this educational video with us! I am sharing this video with my ASL classes!

Wow. The word Thank you is not strong enough to express my appreciation for this video. I have recently adopted a Deaf daughter and I need to know how to communicate and relate. This is so extremely helpful!

I loved this video. When he said "in closing", I thought, no, already?! I really enjoyed this video. It was very informative and I like how strong he is. As a hearing person, I would love to interact with the deaf community. I have many reasons as to why I want to interact with the deaf community. I have never wanted to know just one group of people. I hope one day I have the pleasure of meeting a deaf person. I honestly do.

He teaches at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah! I know for a fact - cuz I've taken almost every class he teaches :) He's awesome - one of my favorites!

I loved this video! I am currently applying to get my Masters degree in Deaf Education, but am currently a Biology Outreach Educator and got my degree in genetics. I am hearing and don't know enough about Deaf culture or the Deaf community to comment on anything else, but I did want to comment on the "eugenics" vs. "genetics" topic. I understand how genetics could look similar to eugenics, but it is very different. Genetics is the study of our DNA/genome and how it works, not how to manipulate it. That is called genetic engineering and it is still a very controversial field. But genetics and many of its principles actually disprove many eugenics theories. For example, genetic diversity is extremely desirable in a population. When you start limiting the genes in a population, you get an increasing number of genetic diseases caused by recessive mutations. And even some genetic mutations that are looked at as undesirable have positive effects in different environments (Hemoglobin S alleles cause sickle cell disease, but they also protect against malaria). I hope I will be able to straddle the Deaf and medical communities effectively! My mission is to help make STEM education more accessible for all. :)

as an interpreter that has been out of the profession for quite sometime, I can appreciate the hard work that the team interpreters go through. I would like to start interpreting again and have begun the long road back to this marvelous profession.

I'm hearing. I am in ASL classes and I absolutely love it. I really liked this presentation. It really helps the hearing people understand Deaf culture better. I think that ASL is a beautiful language and its a beautiful culture as well.

Is there an opportunity to put an interpretation correction? For example, see 7 min and 33 secs, the presenter said "I could lecture a lot on Deaf culture all day and night until I become an old man" but the interpreter said "But I am an old man and this wont be easy thing to do" Ouch! Accountability is important and hopefully someone can do the "interpretation correction" on this. It is so important to understand we, deaf people, have to deal with in our world utilizing sign language interpreters.

Wow i watched the whole video. Im hard of hearing and i grew up speaking orally since im the only person in my family that cant hear. And im suprise by learning more about the deaf culture that i never heard before. I actually told my family i want to learn sign language

I started watching the first five minutes and an hour passed. This is excellent information. When I was a cashier I was approched by a deaf woman asking for directions and I totally messed up on what she understood and how I could speak with her. I wish I had known this then. I'll just have to do better next time.

Wonderful video. Thank you so much!

I am hearing (However, I can't speak). I learned quite a bit watching this video, some of it stunned me a bit. I am often shocked at just how much I don't know! Thank you for sharing this!

This is very interesting! thank you very much for this presentation!

He is a great teacher

Thank you for this powerful witness to life! I am "physically challenged" and know a little about being "different". People fear what they don't understand a lot of times. I applaud your work. I could understand you a little, but you sign much too fast for me. I am now taking ASL classes online with Dr. Bill Vicars (who is deaf) @ "Lifeprint". (I am on lesson 12) He is an awesome teacher & I suggest anyone with interest in ASL to watch 1 of his lessons. Thank you again!

This is a great video!! Very Informative

I ve just become a better person watching this video. Thank you

Thank you!

Im deaf in one ear and i can hear out of one ear so im part of the deaf communty and the hearing world Its,not easy i uses to know asl but lost alot of it because i had à,hearing aid but mine got broken by à mean person So Now i Read lips and My hubby says that it wouldnt be smart to put head phones on has im Walking Its smart not too and when He walks W me He has to stop me because i cant hear the cars on My deaf side im Lucky to have him it took me awile to tell him.i was deaf in one ear ....So u guys that can hear out of two ears treasure that ......because i was born deaf and hearing is à good thing ....

This is very interesting! thank you very much for this presentation! but I lived in India and so I spent easy life in USA. but not easy life in India.. :(

Love Ben Jarashow, but dang, the interpreters got his message wrong several times.

Right, that's true, no matter what language (spoken or signed), you need two interpreters in academic and professional settings, small conversational situations not so much! I've interpreted from Spanish to English and English to Spanish..and it is quite exhausting! And the first time I tried..it gave me a headache!

Hi, I'm self-learning ASL. I'm kinda upset, bcs I hv no deaf friends to talk with and it's hard to improve in my signing. I hope to find new friends. Thanks for the video.

Wow like SIGN

Hi, you is very to beautiful cute man still soft light language sign ASL. Good for you funny story.❤

Hola como estas tu y yo estoy sordo

Right talk ask good

Haroldo Galves.

way to go mom. i am happy that you put your foot down at the dr. why should we have have to get coclier implants when we don't want it. my belief is that if the child is born hard of hearing and the doctor told me that my child must get it done. i would say screw that i want to let my child live in a happy life. when she or he gets older and want to get it done then it's totally up to her or him end of story. thats my opinion. im happy you put your foot down. i'm hh myself and i don't want that.

Listening to the lady speak is a bit annoying cuz I hear another woman whispering as to what to say. Why cant the other lady just speak in the microphone instead of relaying what is being signed??!?

I am deaf and I live in humacao San Juan but I wished back n . N Y. C. Better power communication and better management. Communication. I hope 🤞🏽.

Great video. I have taken some culture classes. I found the interpreter that was from Mass very annoying. She was not fluid in her speech. The other lady was great.
