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 (or more if you can afford it) 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. You can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here right now 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 Or, if you prefer "Cash App" you can use: cash.me/$Lifeprint Or use Patreon at www.patreon.com/ASLU Every little bit helps so much! Thanks! - Dr. Bill p.s. Want to have your very own USB drive with four semesters worth of ASL instruction for just $79.95? See "SuperUSB" in the ASLUniversity bookstore at: lifeprint.com/bookstore/bookstore.htm Take care and love to you all. :)
I used to work at a bank call center and spoke to many of the relay interpreters. I was astonished at how fast they could type (I could hear the keys clicking as they typed). Kudos to them for being there to help.
You’re the best teacher Dr. Vicars! I watch your videos every day and I learn so much from them. And I always laugh throughout them because you’re hilarious 😆 you make learning ASL so fun!
Dr. Bill, thank you so much for posting these videos! It has been such a help to me! And your being so funny is always a big bonus! Lol😆 hope you keep these up!

FEEL traditionally is not done with two hands. It would look weird. Compare it though with signs like "What's up?!" -- which basically does an enthusiastic two handed FEEL with a corresponding facial expression. Also compare it with the sign EXCITED. Then see the sign DEPRESSED. However, FEEL is still just a one-handed sign (pretty much always -- and any exceptions would be some sort of fringe artistic expression).
This video got me thinking... are those similar signs (like date/meet or chat/salad) the equivalent to rhyming words in spoken languages? If so, I really want to see some ASL poetry!
Because if your soup is nervous perhaps we can do something to help it calm down. Nervous soup doesn't taste good. . . . Or....maybe I'm just asking her: "Do you sometimes feel nervous?"

Question for the sign "FEEL": Could I still sign this with two hands? Or is this a one hand sign only/two hands has a different meaning.
FEEL traditionally is not done with two hands. It would look weird. Compare it though with signs like "What's up?!" -- which basically does an enthusiastic two handed FEEL with a corresponding facial expression. Also compare it with the sign EXCITED. Then see the sign DEPRESSED.
However, FEEL is still just a one-handed sign (pretty much always -- and any exceptions would be some sort of fringe artistic expression).
This video got me thinking... are those similar signs (like date/meet or chat/salad) the equivalent to rhyming words in spoken languages? If so, I really want to see some ASL poetry!
It's called "handshape rhyme."
Just google around and you'll find some ASL poetry and/or Deaf poetry.
38:00 why is he asking if I have nervous soup??
Because if your soup is nervous perhaps we can do something to help it calm down. Nervous soup doesn't taste good.

Or....maybe I'm just asking her:
"Do you sometimes feel nervous?"
😂😂😂😂 you made my day with this answer of yours, Dr. Vicars 🤣🤣🤣
