I had headphones on the start of the video. The marker writing sound is like nails on a chalkboard! I always have my headphones loud so I can hear. Didn’t even need it for this video.
Love you and learning from you. My hearing has been deteriorating this past year and i don't know why. Even though I can still hear it just gets harder and harder to understand what people say. I find myself asking people to repeat themselves daily. Even though I don't think I'd ever lose all my hearing your videos make me feel better and teach me many helpful things thanks for that
To make it easier talking about Interpreters and Closed Caption, use the sign for Interpreter and the letters CC. That way you won't struggle trying to keep them straight. I've discovered this works better making my signing look smooth.
I'm deaf just to say, and i prefer an interpreter well because I have always had one since I was in 1st grade. I never had friends. Hearing people were always mean to me I have no idea why so my only friend I had was the interpreter. But then my mom put me in a school for deaf and I was pretty happy! But my best friend was left behind but I do bring her to events though. Sincerely, Juliet
+Rikki Poynter I'm partially deaf but my hearing has been slowly going more and more as I get older as well. My recently surgery also left me with double vision that they are not sure they can correct, but hoping. I wander peoples videos like yours on YT at times. Mostly to not feel so isolated. As I know I am not. Just if I become deaf and blind that would certainly be a strange new experience. I was born 75% deaf as a child but I can still hear to a degree. So I should be thankful for it. Just the TV gets louder and louder each year .. heh. I try to wear a headset when I watch TV so I don't bother anyone at night. During the day I listen normally. I do not know ASL much, and used to read peoples lips. Though now with double vision reading lips is more difficult. So seems I may need to learn ASL a bit. Sorry for the long rant. Do you have maybe any good tips on how to learn ASL easily/quickly? (Currently only understand pretty much only half what is said to me. The rest I fake like I hear them. I know its bad to do that. Just I don't know how to tell people to repeat what they say often so I get it all.) I'm not a good singer by any measure but I enjoy it. I sit in a chair when singing for silly reasons, I can fear the vibrations of my voice into the chair. Or if I hold my hand on my chest while singing.
if you want to practice fingerspelling, try spelling out common words you hear/see in conversation or random objects around you. i swear it really helps! i used to be terrible at FS but now i can spell things pretty quickly. doing some warm ups (like squishing a stress ball or something) might help with the cramping if you need lol. love watching your asl videos, keep up the good work!
Yeah, I need to get back into doing that! When I sign regularly (like at an event when I'm near deaf friends or with interpreters), my fingers and hands get the hang of the language and then when I'm back home (aka hearing land), I end up getting rusty again. This was at my rustiest for a while, haha. But definitely need to get back into just randomly fingerspelling.
How do I turn on captions? Unless you were talking about drinking 7up and washing your hair and hands with it, I didn't understand. I'm going to have to watch again but with captions
I find myself learning a lot on your videos. On a silly note. Which doesn't affect learning or enjoyment. As a hearing person I'm so used to audio, that when I came in here today I tried to adjust my headset. Despite knowing that some of your videos are sign only not speech and sign. It's a long standing habit when audio is low on videos on other channels
Wow, your signing is totally improving. and I am improving too. I almost can completely understand what you were signing. Woot go us! Also I loath finger spelling because I cant spell. So it make it a million times harder. It also forces me to fix my poor spelling. =P
Im learning asl and i love to watch your asl videos first without captions to see what i understand, then with. You're great!

When youre a sighted and hearing person and you dont know ASL. X.x
Both. Use both lol
So great to seè your ASL get better and better. I'm learning but started after you so the captions in the video help me fill in the blanks.

The CC button on the player.
Love what your doing, keep up the good work! 😊
JD Kim Thanks, JD!

Im proud i understood most of this with out captions
I’m confusion
Ugh, I fumble with fingerspelling too!
I think you have to learn very well signal language, for you dont have that lot of trouble when using it!
