Hello Rikki have you tried to learn Australian sign language is that harder than American I know this might sound like a silly question cause you live in America.
Hello Rikki would like to come to Australia one day. And I have a question and a ides for a video with all this travel bans due to The cornavirus is all the important information getting to deaf people at all.
There's a beautiful Anime movie called "A Silent Voice" ("Koe no Katachi") which is about a deaf girl and it's really touching, and some signs she uses so often, that you actually learn to say a few words (not much tho). But I recommend it, in case you haven't seen it yet c:
Living in Japan as a middle school teacher and excited to be able to at least sign a little in JSL! I'm dyspraxic so finger spelling is pretty difficult for me, but you never know when maybe one of my students might benefit from me even being able to sign/understand the basics.
I just discovered your channel, and for me it's really fun to try and understand what you sign because you sign slow enough for me to pick up on stuff. I'm learning french belgian sign language at university and I just love to see the differences and similarities with other sign languages, so these videos are extra cool for me as I can follow both ASL and the language you try to learn
You can try to learn Thai Sign Language, it's country I live, Thailand. But it has 42 letters, about 14-15 vowels, 4 different tones. I know it's WAY a lot
I am studying Japanese. There are many ways he said to say yes are different. All of them mean different things dispite the fact that they both translate to yes in English. Hai is like direct way to say yes like when you asked "Come here." Sou desu is more of indirect way to answer it's closest translation that I can think of is "That's true." Or "ye". It's used often and it's as informal as "ye". There is another one he didn't mention which was ei which is used when asked a question. Most people just say hai instead of ei, but it's used sometimes in formal situations. There is also un, which is the most informal one, the negative version of un is uun. I have plans on learning JSL but no plans on learning ASL. All I know in JSL at the moment is how to say "Where are you going."
I'm no expert, but I'm fluent in Korean, I have studied KSL for a year, I know official resources, and I have native signers I meet occasionally and can contact with questions. I have made some videos with the basic signs of you need any help with that. Sadly, there aren't a lot of resources yet, and I hope to help support making more though it is has a rather young history as an official language in Korea (Korea's national recognition of KSL as a language was only at the end of 2015). An active Deaf TH-camr in Korea is hamonthly (th-cam.com/users/hamonthly) and she has lot's of content about Korean Deaf life and culture (with English subtitles in almost all videos I believe~ decently accurate too).
Something you might find interesting- Nicaraguan Sign Language has a written form. Here's a children's book with it: www.signwriting.org/library/children/mouse/mouse.html
The four seasons of Japan, change in the nature at the season, Which season do I like? I would say, each season is fabulous.😅 The beauty of the nature that each season weaves is wonderful in winter, autumn, summer, spring. The good eating that can be done at each season is the enjoyment. The good harvest of rice is pleased to do enjoying the moon to look at cherry blossoms in spring, and to see the festival and Yukata, fireworks, pool, sea, in summer in autumn, and it warms ourselves in Kotatsu in the family, and it eats the pan in winter. This is a Japanese style.
Vowel sounds in Japanese: A - ah (as in awful, but clipped at the end) I - ee (basically the long E sound in English, but clipped at the end) U - oo (as in food, but not as drawn out) E - eh (the short E sound in English, as in elephant) O - oh (like the beginning of the long O sound in English, but cut off before the part where your lips tighten into a small “o” shape; it’s one movement where your jaws open with your lips in a 0 shape and stop right there) If you can get the hang of those vowels, that’s 90% of the Japanese pronunciation battle won, since most of the sounds end with vowels 😉 Also, the N sound in Japanese is made through your nose, because you close your mouth like you’re about to go “Mmmm,” or say the Japanese “mu” (which sounds a lot like a cow’s moo that got cut off abruptly) but only let one “m” come out in a quick burst 😅 Hope that helps 😊
So next time I flip someone off I can just say I am doing Japanese Fingerspelling 🤨 ... hahaha, I'm kidding! I'm kidding! 😅 I am really enjoying these videos, Rikki. They're fun and educational. Perhaps you couldn't do Spanish Sign Language next, unless you have already, in which case don't mind my suggestion. Thanks for the video, Rikki! I appreciate them and the work you do to create them. Take care!! 👍🤟💜
which spanish where are you thinking of? like Spain-spanish or Mexican-spanish [personally i'm curious about what differences are between the two but I can look that up on my own time]
I’ve just started learning to finger spell in Japanese myself, and I think it’ll be a long time before I’m comfortable signing “se”😅 I saw on another video that the reason for the middle finger is because “se” can refer to a person’s height, i.e., “se ga takai” means “tall,” and that’s your tallest finger 🤓
A little practice for you, Rikki :) Teo torriatte konomama iko Aisuruhito yo Shizukana yoi ni Hikario tomoshi Itoshiki oshieo idaki {"Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together])" written by Brian May for QUEEN)
I'd be interested in the comparisons between ASL and LSM [Mexican Sign Langauge] and that probably has a lot more sources. but there is also Aslan [Austrialian sign language] . Personally, i'd be interested in a Hebrew/Israeli sign language but I haven't gone out of my way to look for that.
It's Me. Anani Zvi. HEY! I did a video with a Mexican Deaf man who taught me LSM, if you want to watch the video, here it is: th-cam.com/video/gBBSTrOZ6aE/w-d-xo.html
I have an odd question. You know how in spoken languages sometimes there are words that sounds like a different word in another language. Is there anything like that in sign language where a sign in ASL might look similar to a sign in a different sign language or vice-versa? Sorry if this question makes no sense.
Have you seen A Silent Voice? It's an anime movie and it's so good. It's about a deaf girl who is bullied for being deaf and it follows the main person who bullies her. If you havent seen it, I recommend it. ❤ Thanks for another interesting video
the alphabet is super cool! i love how the voicing and other things like ka -> kya is represented with movement. it's interesting how there's not an exact translation for "yes" or "no", it's the same in chinese. i think in japanese "chigau" literally means "you're wrong". would be interesting to see you do CSL. the fingerspelling for CSL is somewhat similar but some handshapes are different, and there are signs for "ch", "sh," "zh," and "ng"

There have deaf vloggers who have made videos and Sign1News and Daily Moth have been making news reports.

This is so fascinating. It's a lot to get use to right away but super fun.
Indeed!
You did a really great job pronouncing the Japanese alphabet I’m impressed, hearing people can’t even say え (eh) they say E
I grew up with JPOP and Jdramas and studied it a little bit hahah.
In japanese 2 there's people who say E an I'm like "you talking い?"
I love these videos. It's so interesting seeing different sign languages!

i am learning dif languages and sign. so happy to find this vid! i also want to learn sign in the languages i speak
I'm not familiar with ASL or JSL, but I was riveted to the screen and trying right along with you! What an interesting video.
Oh my goodness really really interesting cool wow
Thanks, Karen!

Korean signlanguage!! 💕 specifically-hello, good bye, I love you. 😘
Korean is definitely on my list!

i would love to see you try Brazilian sign language called Libras.
My boyfriend's stepmom is Brazilian so it's on my list for sure!
@@rikkipoynter nice! can't wait to see it
Fantastic video.
Thank you!
Could you please do a comparison of ASL and SEE (Signing Exact English)? Would love to see that!
I'd recommend Finnish sign language but tbk how similar it's with other european sign languages 🤔
Hey, I'll put it on the list!
Your face when you did “se”😂🤣

What a cool video! Since you mentioned being more familiar with German, would you consider doing something similar with German Sign Language?
What language would you suggest?
@@rikkipoynter German?
I did German before this one, you can check it out in the playlist that I linked in the card!
@@rikkipoynter Oh for goodness sake. I'm so sorry!

Yes, if you check my BSL video, our "where" is BSL "what" and there's a few others, I think.
*chokes on potato salad*
Haha, yes!
Middle finger, is for Brother in JSL, baby finger is for sister. A bit different from your video.
Haha yeah I think I've seen it too, or at least know about this from another resource. Amazing.
