Y'all should do a sign of the day type thing! Whenever y'all vlog, teach us a new sign at the end. That'd be really cool!!!
Hannah Rose yes!!
And now they do 😊
I totally agree with this
Tony Rose they do now...
I too agree.. today only I started seeing your videos and I learn many signs., like Thank you, efficient, GO-ING😂, STORE
Yeah... Its good to teach so that we don't have to see caption..
I'll watch you guys daily then 🥰🥰
To be honest, for a long time, I didn’t even know that the term “sim com” existed. My grandparents are deaf, and their children (my dad and uncles) are hearing. So it is very commonplace for all of us in the family to talk and sign simultaneously, or even just switch back and forth between speaking English or silently signing. It depended on who you were talking to. Plus, ASL is very handy for us to communicate at long distances, or over loud noises. And funny stories seem twice as funny when retold through ASL. 😆 Language should bring people together, not drive them apart.
It's good to hear that your family is so open minded to whatever works for you. It seems in the deaf culture like every other culture there are people so militant about right and wrong ways to do things. I think it intimidates people in to not trying at all in fear of offending others. I understand wanting to protect your culture but if someone is doing the best they can and learning, that should be a positive thing and be encouraged.
@@Glim246 I agree!
That Blonde hair is everything 🔥
11:14 'that's my girl, she gets it' SO CUTE!!!!
aeivivi I was looking for someone to comment on this 🧡🧡
I wish I could learn I like how he helps u if u don't know how to explain or if u need help go guys teamwork
Right?? Just the way he looks at her is so lovely. Where can I find my Ryan? Lol
The way Ryan looks at Ellen is so precious! I'm happy i found your channel
Natasha Yeso Im literally new to the Channel and was thinking the same thing. You can literally see the love and fondness for one another. I understand they need to look at each other. But they just look like they melt everytime.
I'm glad I can understand what he is saying with the CC on, I don't understand sign language so it's nice to hear what he has to say. Love you guys!
“Sign names” sound like a right of passage thing you earn, and I think that’s really cool.
I had no idea what SEE was or SIMCOM. This is so amazing that you two are sharing. I am trying to learn ASL right now just for myself and watching you two really brings me joy.
I worked with a guy who was deaf, and before I introduced him, my trainer told me he was "hearing impaired." He told me that deaf people get very offended by that type of title. I learned quite a bit about the deaf community from him, and some different types of signs. I haven't seen him in ten years, and I remember some sign language, but most of it has been forgotten.
Dont give up. I've been in a deaf hearing relationship for more than 2 years and it's the greatest blessing and challenge at the same time. but it's the greatest relationship I've ever had. learned so much from it. and thank you for creating your vlog. shared it on my facebook and hoping the deaf friends I know give it some love too.
Himani Malla they are
their relationship is not your relationship! don't imply that they're close to "giving up." why would you even say this? you don't know them like that and they didn't express anything in this video that would prompt you to say this.
whateverfudge
I think he was just saying it as advice to people in those kinds of relationships in general...
whateverfudge dick head
i love that hes so fluent in everything he can explain to us easily. im a beginner student of asl. and he uses all simple signs i can understand easily. thanks guys! subscribed!
The way these two look at each other makes me melt a little.
Ooooh okay, the hearing impaired thing makes more sense now. Because in my asl class, they just told us to never use that term in a deaf or hard of hearing person's presence or they will like burst into flames and sucker punch you into Australia. I feel like my class glorifies a lot of things and engrains it into our minds. Like the sign name thing, they told to never ever ever give ourselves a sign name or you would like disrespect the entirety of the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Watching you two communicate helps me to learn, I’m studying to become an interpreter for the D/deaf. Currently starting my last year out of three years. And thank you for speaking about the various modalities. I’ve learned ASL & SEE, now I’m going for trans lit, but I really like sim-com & PSE & Rochester method. Good job. & Thank you, you make Sign look cool.
This is such a great video...I learned so much! Thank you guys for making videos like these explaining these things. Honestly this is something that a hearing individual would never come across in a million years just going about their daily life and that's really sad. I'm so glad you guys are willing to share your lives and experiences and educate us all! ♥
Love your videos! I haven't been learning ASL long but I feel like watching your videos teaches me more, and every time I watch I feel like I'm picking up on something new. You guys seem like such a great couple :) can't wait to watch more videos! Love from Canada
This is very informative. I love when you guys answer these questions. it's really great, and i love seeing it from both of your prospectives, like Ryan, said you should both answer this one. I think I can relate to both of you bc I was hearing do most of my life and now I'm not able to hear much at all, so it's kinda of like feeling part of or stuck between both worlds. also, as I mentioned before I've tried using different hearing devices before but I think it just complicated this game for me bc I was too focused on trying to hear better than to actually begin reading lips or learning alternate ways to hear and speak.
You know there’s always these “what’s the hardest part of being in a DH relationship, how bout what’s the best few things? Overcoming obstacles and barriers together, beating the odds, have basically your own language between you two, and looking good doing it 😎🤘🏻👏🏻 I like it nice work keep it up
You guys are awesome! My husband and I are hearing, but we are learning ASL. We are trying to incorporate it into our daily lives and wherever we go. Spread some ASL love.
I love watching your videos. I am going to school to become an ASL interpreter and I really enjoy watching videos of people signing and learning more about the culture.
Love this channel. You two are so great together. Really looking forward to learning sign and braille in the future. Never know when it could be useful :)
I absolutely love your channel and have been following it for quite some time. Its soooo good to see the progression of your signing and its very inspiring. The love between you both is so magnetic . Im learning so much about myself, between patience , love and presence. if ASL has taught me anything its how to stay in the present moment
You guys are seriously amazing! Thank you for these vlogs! They're helping me learn how to communicate in ASL more. 🥰
Love this!! I learn new signs just by watching your videos. I've been in love with sign language since I was 5 (I'm 17 now) and I've been kind of teaching myself off and on & online. But I'm finally taking real ASL classes next month!! I'm so excited.
These videos are very informative even after 4 years later! I really appreciate your content Thank you Ryan & Ellen!
Wow I love this video! Thanks for doing this! I'm hard of hearing learning ASL beginner for the first time, just fingerspelling for now, but this is super helpful to see you both in conversation! Thanks!
I'm just seeing this video but you all make such a cute couple! Love how you learn from one another so naturally. You're made for one another!
Yep, a super couple. She is SO adorable n kind.
I love the background music. Also, your hair is SOOOO gorgeous. It looks so thick and healthy. I'm jealous!
I just stumbled upon your channel, and I'm so glad I did! This is so educational, and I didn't know a lot of the things you mentioned here. Thank you!
I was just talking with someone about the difference between ASL and SEE yesterday - and I also used the example of going shopping! haha awesome. Thanks for the video!
This is the style of signing I learned at 13 before I lost my hearing. It's refreshing to see.
Love you guys!!! Thanks for sharing so much with us!!! Just meeting you two for the first time!!! I 'm in California and was on the coast today....felt so good looking at the Pacific Ocean......wanting to see more of your videos!!!
I love you guys. Thank you for bringing the correct terminology to light. I was always told, “hearing impaired” is polite and preferred but apparently it is quite the opposite. I’m so happy to know that now……..Also, I didn’t know anything about SIMCOM or Pidgen. I just started learning ASL and I’m beginning to be able to recognize your signs…..and just like the viewer whose question you answered, I had noticed that when you are signing it’s not matching up to the syntax I was learning in the vids I was watching. So now, that makes more sense about having to speak and sign at the same time. Thank you! Keep up the work, I love tuning in.
It's really nice to see you guys communicating with each other. I wish both of you the best and stay safe
i love these videos! watching all the old videos!
Y’all just taught me a lot! I didn’t know how much I didn’t know. Excellent post.
I love your videos! I am a hearing teacher who has been learning ASL because I work at a school that has a DHH program in Irvine. I haven't been using captions so I can test myself when you sign, Ryan, and I am so happy to say that I completely got about 90% of what you were saying 😜 thanks for posting! Love watching your videos!
My husband and I aren't deaf but we both want to learn sign language so if we every meet anyone who is we can be inclusive... Your relationship is a beautiful example of what could happen if all hearing people were able to sign! Loads of love xx
I'm learning more ASL and watching your videos helps me learn
so glad I found this channel!! Subscribing straight away
hittin us with the Nujabes. nice.
love your videos!
Awesome! loved hearing your guys story.
Excellent ! Excellent ! I'm hearing , but grew up around deafness---my aunt/ uncle were deaf , and had many friends , so our family learned ASL . I take a class now and then to keep in practice . I really liked your videos alot !
Watching your new vids compared to now you can definitely see your growth
Thank you so much for being so open! I have really bad anxiety so whenever I'm around a deaf or hard of hearing person I'm so scared to ask questions or sign in asl( I learned to sign in preschool) mainly because my friend is an interpreter and a few deaf people are rude to her and treat her like garbage , so that always makes me nervous about coming across as rude or insensitive. But once again thank you for answering questions and being so nice about it God bless, Kat
This was very insightful !! thank you for making such videos 💖💖
Don't know why, but I think I really learned a lot from this video!! Thank you for this, for inspiring and educating people (like me 😊) !!
What a nice channel you guys have, and you guys are so cute together! I loved the story about how you guys met! Hope you have a great day, and good luck with everything in the future!!
Sign Duo where is he from?
I am on my moms tablet...but I have some questions
1: could you possibly say some things about "me" (Johanna) and how I am fluent in ASL also I am deaf in my right ear...that would totally make my day!

Whos in 2020
Edit: thanks for the like :)
It’s now March 2021. How time flies eh?
I love you guys so much . you are very inspirational and so lucky to have eachother . you guys are perfect for eachother. keep doing what you doing and don't stop no matter how hard it gets trust me TH-cam is sweet and sour at times. love the content please make more 💕💕
Wow I love your videos I really didn’t know there were so many different versions of signing, keep up the great videos I really enjoy them
I love your channel! I'm starting to learn sign language because of you. Also it would be cool if you created sign language learning app!
I actually learned so much about different types of sign language in this video! Thanks guys!! :)
This was really helpful! I’ve been reading / discovering about ASL vs PSE vs SEE and was wondering the same thing because Ellen signs as she speaks and I know the grammar is different in ASL, but at the same time it’s gotta be near impossible to speak proper English while signing proper ASL. It’s cool to know which she is signing with. Also - I had read previously what you guys said: that it’s generally more culturally acceptable for a deaf person to give a hearing person their sign name. I was so so happy today when a new deaf friend of mine gave me a sign name without me asking him to do so. It made me really feel special and I love the sign because it’s my initial (one handed) with the sign for smile (he said because I’m always smiling) - which made me smile more. Anyway - that was just today so I’m happy I came across this video tonight.
Learning so much from this channel. Thanks
You guys are so cute!!! One of your drive through videos popped up on my feed and I've been binging your videos! ♥️
I'm hooked on watching your guys videos! neeeed more! 😜
I loved this! I don't watch the live q and a because they're not captioned, but this was great.
Love your channel! New subscriber but already addicted.
I really like your vlogs! i'm from the Netherlands and i'm learning Sign Language here. I've just started but i learn a lot from your vlogs, about ASL and all the other sorts of Sign Languages. Thank you for sharing! And hopefully i will learn some ASL one day, but first the Sign Language over here, NGT. ;)
I LOOOOVE YOU GUYS!!!!:) I'm a proud hard of hearing gal from Chicago and its always fun to watch you guys sign, I definitely sign like you girl I don't use asl a lot. But all my deaf friends understand me so its alright:p PLEASE do more videos:) Take care!!
Sign Duo Where can I take Sign Language Classes? I live in Michigan. I know the ASL Alphabet, the numbers, and some common everyday words, but I would like to take a class. If you know of anywhere that offers ASL classes in Macomb, Michigan please let me know! Thank you and take care!
Lizzie Schram im not sign duo, but i've been learning sign since sesame street days. lately i've been using bill vicars yt channel and website, i believe it's called life print? it's been a really good resource since i don't have an easily accessible in-person class.
More Madeline Thank you!
hi stefy, you are cute :thumbs_up
I love your videos, thanks for the effort you put into your channel
You guys are adorable :)
This is so great! We found out a year ago that our daughter is HH, but have little Deaf culture in our area. I would see this or that here and there, but this vlog puts it all together!
I love your guys videos! More please!!!
When you're an asl 3 student and understood everything 💁
all the hardwork has finally paid off :)
I'm getting there... It's exciting xD
Jessie when you're an asl 3 student and understood almost everything
When you're an asl 1 student and you understand a quarter of it with the volume off 💁
I'm an ASL 3-4 student (2nd year technically) and I understand most, but some of the signs have "sign accents" which are hard to read sometimes.
I'm learning ASL at my school so when i found your channel I was so excited and kind of inspired to learn even more:) I love your guys channel!
Thanks for the video guys. Very educational and creates a bridge between the deaf and hearing culture. Cant wait to find out more.
Hi! I wonder if you’ll see this since it’s an older video. I haven’t been on TH-cam in a while but I remember finding you guys a while back. I love your videos, and will be binging to catch up on all that I’ve missed and hopefully to learn basic signs! I love these Q&A videos too. It would be so fun to see a day in your life, almost like vlog style, but without explaining to us what you guys are up to. It made me curious when you said you kind of forgot how to speak in some ways during a time in your life when you didn’t speak much. It would be so cool to see what your day to day communication really looks like without talking to us (the audience/camera)! Just a random thought! Thanks for inviting us into your life while also educating your viewers and fostering an inclusive community
Thank you for this video, it’s very informative and great to educate people like me. :)
Thank you so much for posting!! I am assisting in an ASL class for middle schoolers and I have been wondering how ASL came about. PSE, SEE and SIMCOM. Great to know. It sounds like ASL is SOV (subject object verb), where English is SVO. I speak Japanese and it is SOV...that was very difficult to figure out when starting to learn. Thanks!
Our AP Psychology textbook if I remember correctly said that some common ways of saying things should change with the time. For example, not using the R word anymore which I TOTALLY agree with. But another part was saying hearing or visually impaired instead of deaf or blind which really surprised me. I’m glad to get real live people explain it and I think your explanation totally makes sense, thank you.
Wow I didnt know that there were different types of ASL! That is so cool!
THANK YOU MUCH. I am married to my spouse of eight years, and she is Deaf-hard-of-hearing. And you facilitate greater learning for me. That was a supergreat video. Long and detailed and marvelous info. Some of which I knew but some was truly new. Thanks. Have written down "Sign Duo." Am glad my wife introduced me to you. Best, ..... ((((((:
I love your videos and I love you guys ! I am very excited to see more ! Full of love from France !!
Sign Duo Come whenever you want, we wait !! Specially me !
I can hear but i find very relaxing to watch your videos thx guys !
I find it really beautiful you don't discriminate like some people would just because he is deaf.
I'm relearning sign language as I watch your videos without even realizing it. I learned ASL when I was 12 & home alone with mono lol. My sister was hard of hearing and my mother was her very active advocate. She became an interpreter and had ASL videos at home. This was before we had internet 😄 I've lost so much of ASL because I didn't have anyone to practice with over the years. I'm so glad to start to recognize the signs again! All while just enjoying your videos. 🙂
I love that a lot of the questions I already knew the answer to, feeling pretty proud 😁😂 I didn't know about SIMCOM and SEE though (at least the specific terms), so that's cool to learn!
Literally the cutestttttt couple oh my gosh I'm dying from the cuteness 💘
Wow, guys so cool, thx for sharing. My first time watching you guys. I like that you simcom.
It is nice to see a channel like this on TH-cam. I went to a high school in Irvine OC with the biggest deaf and hard of hearing program in my city.
You guys make me happy
Awesome you two. I am also in deaf and hearing relationship. My fiancé Molly is hard of hearing and I'm hearing. We've together for going on 4 years now, and two kids.
This is the 5th or 6th video I've watched today and now I'm just sad that I didn't find this channel years ago!
when I was in highschool, we have the so-called yearly handbook. From that handbook, alphabets in sign language were written but unfortunately we dont have subject about sign language. My classmates (yeah including me hehe) used those hand signs to share and copy answers during exams. Eventually the teachers find out. so they changed multiple choice exam type to essay and fill in the blank type.. haha. But I still remember few of alphabets in hand sign language. 😊
I wish Ellen would have this hair again, I love it so much❤️
I know this is an old video but I just found you guys, so I'm binge-watching them all, and I have to say, I find them so informative and entertaining... I live in Australia and I used to know a bit of Auslan but am so out of practice these days. I am curious to know how communicating with people from other English-speaking countries is.
Very informative video. Thanks!
I swear i've seen you guys at southcoast before! y'all are so cute.
Hello! I am new to your channel, but I love watching and learning from your videos. I have been taking some online sign language classes to try to learn, and your channel is really helpful too. Learning from your channel is fun because I also get to watch your videos! I have a question: Ryan, do you have any remaining hearing? I mean no disrespect with this comment. :) Thank you!
You are so cute guys! Always be together 💕
Beautiful blonde hair look good on you wow.
I like the idea of someone giving you your sign name. It seems special that way
This is very interesting thank you for sharing!
my gosh this is sooo interesting !!
Love your videos!
Oh my god you're sooo beautiful with blonde hair! You should do it again!
yeeesss I agree
Usually, I watch videos at double the speed and can keep up by listening to words.
...I'm definitely becoming a MUCH faster reader, after this LOL ;P
World Wide Wong i actually do the opposite when watching videos in another language, i cut the speed in half so i can process the words/signs without needing subtitles.
As a late deafened person ASL was far easier for me to latch onto than SEE. The idea of changing my entire language/structure felt more comfortable than the adaptive approach of SEE. I’m so glad I learned ASL.
Adorable couple!!!
