For people who are frustrated about not being able to understand what they're saying: congratulations, you just experienced for a few moments what deaf people deal with all day every day. Not trying to be snarky, but maybe it helps you recognize why accommodations for deaf and hard of hearing people are important.
I have had a major Vision impairment my entire life, and I still remember when I first saw this episode all those years ago. People with disabilities feel very isolated from the rest of society, particularly vision and hearing loss. For someone who is non-disabled to connect which one of us is truly a gift but only the disabled person really understands. People really are afraid of what they don't understand, and the tendency is to avoid it or treat it with total indifference. Perhaps this seems harmless, but your indifference Hertz. I know it's television, and we can live out our fantasies through this medium. But it was still a touching moment for me.
I'm 19 and I'm working at being self-taught. Something I found that helps is signing while doing average stuff, even when it's with those who hear. It's kind of fun. It is a little scary, but people like it when you are learning their language, whether it's ASL or Spanish. You're trying and that's what matters. Just try not to sign too fast. I've discovered I have a bit of a "stutter" when I sign. :]
I knew sign Language but didnt maintain it , so i sort of lost it . But i know alil . My lilsister knows and she teaches me :) Her hearing is slowly fading away .
That sign language he had been practiced to be in acting. He signs more between ASL and SEE sign a little. He was not too rusty but little choppy in every sentence. He was not fluent as what his mother taught him when he was little. He may forgot lots when he was not around with his mother. Wasn't he? That is part of acting not real life.
I love Gil Grissom as a character and this scene always stuck with me. When I saw this episode, back when it first aired, I became fascinated with sign language. Fast forward to today, and I'm finally teaching myself ASL so I can (hopefully) communicate with my non-verbal daughter. I'm glad TH-cam exists because it is making learning so much easier.
Loved Grissom too. I'm learning to sign. Not fluent but can carry on a conversation OK. Only thing I didn't like about this episode is the woman he's signing with here was a bit presumptuous and rude to the team while they weren't acting like that towards her. Let's both keep learning to sign(interpreting songs 🎵 helps me w/concepts)
i find this an epic scene between a deaf and a hearing person...i feel this way when i speak to a deaf person...its not really the communication that is the problem, it is just being able to understand they're world...that is all
I’m an interpreter. The only thing that was odd to me is that NO ONE who has Phyllis Frieliech for a mother (she played his mom later) would sign as stilted as Gil does. It would be his first language. His ASL doesn’t suck, but it’s not native.
Learning the vocab is relatively easy (then again I'm told being 18 helps that). The hardest part is having the confidence to put yourself out there and try
@@atearsarahjane Well, you're 26 now, do you have any interest in getting back into it? I tried to start learning at one point, and have basically forgotten everything. If it's possible, and I have to say that I am technologically limited (no smart phone), would you be willing to re-learn with me? I don't know how without smartphones, but I'm just curious.
Awesome! I love, Deanne❤ Anyone know anything else that I can watch and learn sign language ? I have Cerebral Palsy and I’m severely HOH I also, wear two Bte aids. Thanks so much
@@LizFaganBand “My mother lost her hearing when she was eight years old. Her first love was always swimming. One day when I was a kid I asked her what she heard. She told me to put my head underwater and I’d know” “That’s what I hear too!” “She was always clear that she never felt beneath anyone for being Deaf. In fact she always said it was a blessing” “I tell my students the same thing”. Then it starts panning out and it’s really hard to catch.
I’m currently trying to learn BSL as a new friend of mine is deaf and I want to surprise her one day. She reads lips mostly, but I still want to be able to communicate fully with her, especially now with the pandemic and everyone wearing masks, she’s really struggling. Can anyone tell me what they are saying? I’m catching the odd word but ASL is slightly different so I’m kinda lost
He uses a mix of older signs ( the way he signs what is OLD) and uses English word order with a mix of some proper ASL. It’s exactly how someone who was his age would sign if they had learned when they were little.
According to imdb, he says 'My mother lost her hearing when she was eight. She loved to swim. I asked her what it was like to be deaf and she told me to stick my head under the water.'
He tells a story of how "when I was a boy I asked my mother what it's like for her [to be deaf] and she told me to stick my head under water". Then Dr. Gilbert says, "true". Then he says deaf people and hearing people aren't different, we're the same.
I can't see enough of what she's replying to translate because they're filming from over her right shoulder, but I guess you're not meant to. Captions would have been nice for those of us who don't know ASL. Not every deaf person knows ASL.
He is saying when he was a kid he asked his mother what it was like to be deaf. She told him that he should stick his head under water. He tells the girl that his mother taught him that Deaf people are not less than and that hearing and deaf people are the same. That is a quick summary for you. Hope that helps

I am hard of hearing and absolutely loved csi and I cry Every time when I see this sence
So beautiful I love Grissom
Austin Smith
I am always glad to see our communities on TV
Ya, I really miss the character Gil Grissom. He was a positive influence.
What I find so amazing is how well William Petersen signs despite that he learned only what he needed to know for the episode.
As someone who uses ASL every day..he’s not good at all!
@@nuschlerclark895 Phyllis Frielich played his mother. NO ONE who is HER kid would sign that non-fluently.
lol I was gonna say the same thing. @@nuschlerclark895

8 years later and I’ve forgotten everything but the alphabet and the sign for bus

Gil Grissom put ASL on the map
Awesome!

I understand sign language
I’m an interpreter. Would anyone like to know what they are saying after they stop speaking English?
Yes please ! I got "She lost her hearing..." but lost it after that

Vi este capitulo muy bueno
i have always been fasinated with asl...damn drugs kept me to learn more...but now i am clean n would love to learn more

Ignore catworld4's comment. He is not signing SEE. Its a mix of both, ASL and ESL. SEE is a whole different world that no one use today.
Not true that no one uses SEE. SEE is still recommended to parents of deaf children who are raised primarily oral.
He uses a mix of older signs ( the way he signs what is OLD) and uses English word order with a mix of some proper ASL. It’s exactly how someone who was his age would sign if they had learned when they were little.
@SmellyLeaf Thanks for the translation!
deanne bray is my other favourite deaf actress just like marlee matlin
samantha jane smith you should see her in sue Thomas fbeye not much signing but good acting
Sabe señas que bien
Ah Before she became Sue Thomas FB Eye

best csi
Can someone translate for me please
According to imdb, he says 'My mother lost her hearing when she was eight. She loved to swim. I asked her what it was like to be deaf and she told me to stick my head under the water.'
@@anepager Oh is that what he said thank you I always wanted to know what he said.
What episode of CSI was this?
Season 1 episode 20.
th-cam.com/video/liC3q800xQo/w-d-xo.html
Here is the translation. It's in the comments.
@270780peita it is S1 E20
What is the season number and the chapter number?
season 1 episode 20
what do they say?
He tells a story of how "when I was a boy I asked my mother what it's like for her [to be deaf] and she told me to stick my head under water". Then Dr. Gilbert says, "true". Then he says deaf people and hearing people aren't different, we're the same.
I can't see enough of what she's replying to translate because they're filming from over her right shoulder, but I guess you're not meant to. Captions would have been nice for those of us who don't know ASL. Not every deaf person knows ASL.
Well do ne
Is Dr Gilbert deaf?or that guy?
@dk5388 im not deaf and im learning asl. i could understand it perfectly
Idc who I offend ASL matters because Gil G made it mainstream
What is he talking about
He is saying when he was a kid he asked his mother what it was like to be deaf. She told him that he should stick his head under water. He tells the girl that his mother taught him that Deaf people are not less than and that hearing and deaf people are the same. That is a quick summary for you. Hope that helps
i think only a real deaf person can translate that
Indeed
Onfg they could at least give us some sibtitles...😭
'My mother lost her hearing when she was eight. She loved to swim. I asked her what it was like to be deaf and she told me to stick my head under the water.'
@@anepager thanks 😊
