How many of you are not deaf but love to watch them.
Most of us I think hehheh, they're so nice to watch

@@bisratamare3265 ?? I mean sure, but how does that relate to my question
I just realized.. they both have dimples when they smile. And omg they would have THE CUTEST dimple-face babies.
Can TOTALLY relate to the feeling of being “embarrassed” by things like lunches that are cultured, I feel like a lot of immigrant kids go through that :(
I used to get so embarrassed of my mums Japanese cooking for school meals. So strange others feel the same way... now I loooove it
Yeah, 納豆 (fermented soybeans) has such a strong smell and I was embarrassed when I brought it to school, so can definitely relate
Understandable, I’m not japanese but Korean. I’m proud of it and wouldn’t really be embarrassed but I know others would think it’s weird.
@@timdixon32 yeah maybe embarrassed not the right word but more self conscious haha! It was the first time I ever felt “different” especially as I am half scottish half Japanese
@@Moirasmith110 oh yeah definitely understand what you’re saying.
Didn’t know that you’re Japanese American! I’ve been watching your vlogs from Japan:) I live in Japan as a wheelchair user so I’m always grateful for what you’ve done for raising awareness! Arigato.❤️
Yes I am! Haha that is funny. Thanks for enjoying our videos ☺️
A silent voice is also a sign language movie in anime
Gangsta has a hard of hearing character that uses Japanese sign language
a silent voice is good and heartbreaking
I live in the same city the author (the original is a comic) of “A Silent Voice” was born. Her mother is a sign language translator. Many of the places in the movie exist. It is a small town and I’ve been to most of those places.
It would be so nice to see Sign Duo react to the movie!!!
Nooooooo
Bro that anime made me cry bru
6:57 "what...bringing home a white boy?" Lmaoo so blunt
Lol, yeah he talks about deafies being more blunt later in the video but Ellen was pretty blunt herself there, lol.
tha fact that she learned sign language for him was so sweet😭👌
Aw thats the first time I have seen them kiss so cute :)
It actually looked like she didn't want to kiss j because she was like that's ok next question or something like that but they are still cute
@anissa 1997 Shia LaBeouf
I haven’t got to that bit yet but I feel like it’ll be like watching my parents kiss 😂 I hope not anyway 🤣
@anissa 1997 they've kissed b4 on camera when Ryan had surgery video
Question for Ryan: when you dream, how do the subjects of the dream communicate? Is there a lot of ASL used in your dreams? (I'm not sure if this was covered in a video before, so this may be a repetitive question)
I’d also like the answer to this! I would imagine that would be the case since it’s a visual language 🤔
Personally I never feel like there’s any language in my dreams, it’s dream language hahaha
i was also gonna ask thats, if things in the dream communicate by speaking, is he able to interpret it?
But in some dreams, deaf people find they don't need lip reading or have to worry whether people know sign language. In many of their dreams, everyone knows ASL or communicates through a sort of telepathy where everyone simply knows instantly what everyone else is trying to say. Got this from Google a while ago, and I’m glad it could be used.
@@KellysShrimp language please :(
@bluebxrry Mhm!
I almost forgot that Ryan is deaf because the more i watch your videos the more i can understand Ryan without reading the CC. You guys are really a cute couple and all the best for both of you!
I'm so happy our videos are helping you not need the CC. Thank you 🙃
I actually started using skillshare with your code and am taking the sign language beginners course! I've had a lot of fun asking my family to give me random easy words and see if I know how to sign it 😋
That's so awesome that your family is there for you while you learn sign language. 😁
For those who don't know, you can turn on the caption on YT by pressing the "c" key on your keyboard. It's a nice little shortcut!
Hey, today I learned! Thanks!
Wow that’s cool!
wow !
One when Ellen said the last question the way it’s signed in ASL I was so confused and then remembered that the words aren’t in the same order, so props to her for always being able to speak normally and sign in ASL at the same time😯
I didn't even notice the first time! Yeah, she really does.
I was wondering why she did that, now it makes sense!
Yeah, it's like tapping your head and rubbing your stomach and walking backwards all at the same time to speak English and sign ASL simultaneously. I prefer to do one at a time.
I love ellen's outfit!
Aw thank you! ☺️
I don’t speak my culture’s language either, but growing up kinda around it, it’s comforting to be around ^^ I found someone who unveiled that feeling so well
what's your culture's language? :)
@@jf5419 Spanish or Taishanese^^
My friend doesnt know much spanish and her family is mexican but i always see here smiling and having a great time in mexican restaurants or trying out some mexican foods
The same with me as an African American, my ancestors migrated and got stolen and took here so I don’t know how to speak my native language.
@@TheRealTact no ur brothers sold you off u weren’t stolen
My dad always brought he botan rice candy home from business trips. My sister and I bought some for my niece and she didn't believe she could eat the wrapper. She thought we were playing a joke on her 🤣
That golden hour down on Ellen.
Thank you 🥰
Just so you know, Ryan, Ellen has a beautiful voice, it's so calming and sweet. Love u guys❤️❤️
You guys are great. A lot of people could learn a great deal about individual and cultural differences from you two. So many people have such toxic relationships, letting differences tear them apart. It is refreshing to see people who can not only accept, but embrace the differences between them. Quite mentally healthy, and extraordinarily rare.
Thank you. That's really kind of you to say 🥰
I’ve been watching you guys for a couple years now but I just noticed that one of the reasons why i love your videos is because they help me relax (which id hard for me with PTSD). I think its a combination of your soothing demeanors, the quietness, and the need to focus on the subtitles and facial expressions. So thank you!
I get goosebumps when I watch them. This is so beautiful... This gives me hope in real love. I wish you guys the best together and all the happiness in the world!
Hello from Japan!!🇯🇵 I was born and raised in Japan, so I know exactly how living with Japanese culture is like!! I can feel youuu!!
I love Japanese culture, so this is interesting.
You two are an adorable couple! Happy New Year!
I just want to say thank you for not feeding those geese. A lot of people tend to give them bread or other things that aren't good for them, and it can get stuck inside their beak or in their throat, or cause health problems and bone deformities (such as 'angel wing').
@Charlie D I know I was thinking the same thing it can make them sick
ummm go off Charlie
@@jacobocarvajal8291 excuse me they did good you go off
I didn't know that! Thanks so much for sharing! I love coming across useful advice like this randomly online. Personally, I never feed the geese because I'm terrified of them and wouldn't get close anyway lol. Now that I know it's not good for them, if I'm ever able to overcome my fear in the future I'll remember to still be careful not to feed them. Thanks kind stranger!
In the UK we were told to stop feeding the ducks bread but then their population went down as they were pretty dependent by that point, I guess it can be a 2 sided coin and may need a while to transition if it's an area where they are fed mostly by humans!
You guys are such a perfect couple, you look so happy being with each other and listening to each other and your videos always warm my heart 🤟😁💕
I graduated from Sonoma state university in the 80's. First roommate in the dorms was from Japan. Because of her I met every person from Japan. I also learned how to count and a bunch of Japanese words. Forgot most of it but still remember a tiny bit.
Jeez you boomer
I'm Chinese-Hawaiian, this was an awesome video and I enjoyed it very much. The part with the zooming ducks was so funny (5:00) Thank you for your channel even if you haven't uploaded in a while! I hope you are having your best lives with your wedding etc.

thanks for sharing, Ellen! gosh now I'm craving some rice candy, I found about it from my local Daiso and love it.
I just wanted to say I found this channel a week or two ago in my recommended and I’ve watched so many of your videos already, you guys are such a great couple and thank you for opening us up to the world of dead culture. It’s really made me inspired to learn even just the basics of sign language so I can communicate with people who can’t hear I think it’s really important.
Luv your channel
I enjoyed watching this sign duo.... =)
I havent watched u in so.long i need to watch the episodes before!!!! Love the cool sunglasses!
I can't stop crying Everytime you guys are together
Enjoyed watching this! I am 94.1% Korean, 2.4% Japanese, and 1.6% Chinese. I was adopted from Seoul, South Korea at 10 months old and my sister was 4 months old when she joined our family, also from Seoul, South Korea.
Those are some exact percentages lol
@@boogerrrrr Haha, I have 23&Me + Health.

I just found your channel yesterday, I’m so so in love with you both already and all the content you both have taken the time to put out. This is An amazing learning experience for so many people and it’s inspired me to learn sign language so I can better communicate with deaf/hard of hearing individuals! Thank you both so much for sharing your lives with TH-cam community! god bless❤️
This was really nice to see on your channel! I grew up getting a lot of those same snacks from Mitsuwa. It's like a little slice of home.
Botan Rice Candy!!! I feel so happy whenever I see it!

OMG I remember those Asian candies from my childhood!!! I remember having the rice candy in the car when I’d go to my local Asian market. I’m glad that I got to see a video like this.
What matters is you're happy! Well said, Ryan. Well said.
Yes!!! Love Japanese snacks
They are both so cute!!!! I just can't with their cuteness!!!!
THANK YOU ELLEN FOR THE ENG SUBS!!! :)))
Awesome video and content as always. I love botan candy one of my favorites. I don’t understand how there are dislikes on this video. Y’all are amazing.
For some reason, watching you guys gives me solace and it feels comforting!! You guys are a beautiful couple!!💓
awe i just turned on the subtitles because I didn’t know it could do that. But you guys are such a sweet couple I love this ❤️
Just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago! I've spent the past year learning sign language, and I'm Japanese American too! I adore all of your content. Thank you for sharing!
I love you guys! It's always exciting to watch you guys answer questions. Also, I love your choice of background today! The geese and ducks, and the pond were relaxing to watch lol
Thanks so much!!
Love love love Botan rice candy!!! The rice paper wrapper was my favorite part when I was a kid LOL. I've had ramune but I've never had that ramune candy before :O
This video was too cute 🥰 I’m glad Ryan acknowledged nervousness when it came to meeting Ellen’s parents. He must have felt like he needed to be so gentle. Haha!
awww i miss you guyss both 🤗 it's glad to see both of you again ❤ i love you both 💛 keep healthy and happy 🤗
I don’t often understand what you guys are signing but there’s something kind of mesmerizing about your communication through sign. Thanks for sharing videos like this, it’s really cool to see life through your perspective! Take care! 👋 ❤️
Oh my god you guys look soooo happy like umm... idk how to explain it but I love the vibe I got from this video👏🏽
