Hello ASL Heroes!!! Hey, I could really use your help. If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you. A small monthly donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com. Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!” www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=64QMBRBXQSV6G For more donation options, see: Lifeprint.com/donate Thanks! - Dr. Bill p.s. Warm regards and love to you all. :)
Also, "think for-yourself" or "leave it to you", the L handshape brushes across the forehead, then thumbs-up outward, before I categorized it as a new sign that isn't taught, but the L for think maybe that's also the same kind of coarticulation, things that can initially break receptive for rigid thinkers like me~ I've gotten sooooo far in 33 months, and yes, I still track the time like it's growing in me~
What's the best way for me to set up a curriculum plan to for a group of homeschoolers to follow along with together? Would it be best to follow the lifeprint home school syllabus, or is there a benefit to doing the ASLU $59 subscription- is one more updated than the other/easier to follow, or does the subscription perhaps track quiz grades? Is this a horrible way to ask you this? lol Just wanting to make it simple for other homeschoolers to follow and be on the same page for the tutoring group. :) Thanks! (and I also plan on grabbing the USB drive for myself!)
If the homeschool students use different computers and/or you set up separate user accounts on a local computer then the ASL.tc program at $59.95 per year is nearly impossible to beat in terms of value for a homeschool program since it includes a computer generated certificate of completion that can only be obtained by students actually doing each of the exercises. The reason why I mention the "different user accounts" is because the course Learning Management System uses cookies to track the student's progress. Plus the ASL.tc program has multiple levels and is not a fee-per level but rather the student do more than one level within the same subscription duration. Just set a calendar reminder to unsubscribe a day or two before the year is up (if you only need one year). ___________________________________________________________________________________________ For those people who are reading this who may be interested in the ASL Training Center.

Hello Sir, your videos are awesome and really helpful. Now i am an IT student, and i am researching about ASL recognition therefore it can be helpful for deaf people, currently i need some information about certain asl hand shapes which are same for different words and can be distinguished by fascial expressions, like late and not yet. I need to know how many of those and which are those. please give me some information, link, suggestion or something else which will be helpful for me.
My contact information is at: contact www.lifeprint.com You are welcome to describe your project in more detail to me in an email. For example, if you are using underlying technologies such as MediaPipe Holistic, etc. Depending on how forthcoming and detailed you are in your description I may be able to suggest some resources. - Dr. Bill
Here's a clue: th-cam.com/video/4m1EFMoRFvY/w-d-xo.html/ __________________________________________________ Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) Casar is spelling Beyoncé but chooses to spell the name with a "Y" on the end. Such "alternate" spellings and/or muddled spellings are very common in the Deaf world so it is good practice getting used to real life communication. I knew who Cäsar was referring to but at the moment I could only assume why. Then later someone commented on this video regarding the Single Ladies music video and I knew instantly that Beyoncé must have done a front and back display of her palm (as in showing that there is not a ring on the hand).

I could literally watch Casar fingerspell all day. There's just something about it - so fluid and beautiful.
I FINALLY GOT ME A PRACTICE PARTNER.
I just saw an example of "not-need" coarticulated, look-like "who-~~~", yet it was separate signs "not" and "need" signed with anticipated handshapes~
I can easily picture that in my mind! Great example of coarticulation!
Also, "think for-yourself" or "leave it to you", the L handshape brushes across the forehead, then thumbs-up outward, before I categorized it as a new sign that isn't taught, but the L for think maybe that's also the same kind of coarticulation, things that can initially break receptive for rigid thinkers like me~ I've gotten sooooo far in 33 months, and yes, I still track the time like it's growing in me~

Wow, a lot of good info there. Thanks as always :)
Thanks! I love ASL linguistics.
Wow, this was a "FEAST" at the "CAFE" of ASL Linguistics.

Thank a lot sir. I have mailed you.
I want to ask you a question. You teach sign language, but where is it?
Sacramento, California, U.S., Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, in the known universe.
Neither I nor my deaf friend can understand Casar finger spell starting at 15:55. Even at slowest speed, looks like BEYON....Y?
Here's a clue:
