@@cmooisthename Yeah i feel that. I started dating my boyfriend at the beginning of my senior year of high school and we're almost at 3 years so it really depends on the maturity of the two involved
Adelia ikr I have some friends who are freshman and dear god they go through relationships like it’s nothing I’ve been in one relationship ever sense the end of freshmen year so for we’ve been together for almost a year (I’m graduating a year early so I’m a year ahead of my boyfriend so our freshman year was the same but I took my sophomore year last semester and now I’m in my junior semester) back when I was in middle school I was with my ex for about 2 years although that relationship was never going to work because I’m gay and she’s a lesbian but we didn’t know at the time. She and I are still quite close. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see how someone can go through 10+ relationships in a semester.
The reason you learned so quickly is that the two of you speak the language of love. No joke, if you ever want to learn a foreign language, just got find a boyfriend or girlfriend who speaks the language and your learning curve gets cut in half.
I’m slowly losing my hearing and I’m learning bsl (British sign language) and thanks for the tips. I only know the basics right now but hopefully I can be signing properly in a year
What is the cause? I hope you don't feel offended, I just feel curious because I have never meet one. Btw happy new year and I hope you will achieve your target! (Sorry for my english)
I'm totally one of the clerks Ryan was talking about. I originally started to learn ASL decades ago, just because I think it's such a cool way to communicate, but nobody around me signed, so I couldn't really practice. But a few years ago, I was working as a clerk in an area with a lot of deaf people, and rather than write notes back and forth when my customers came in, I started learning again. Although I loved how stoked the deaf folks were that I was putting some effort into learning, it also made me sad that it's so unusual for someone to attempt to communicate with them that the action sparked such joy. For someone to be that happy that you're trying the SIMPLEST forms of communication with them tells me that hearing folks trying is a rarity. And that's fucking terrible. We need to start teaching ASL in schools as a second language. It is not that hard, and would open up so many doors for deaf people. You guys are putting out entertaining, informative content, keep up the good work! :)
you're one of those AWESOME clerks!!!!!! Thank you for putting in extra effort. Yes, it is kinda sad that not many people put in the effort. Where we live in california, ASL is starting to be established as a language credit for foreign languages so I'm glad about that. It does need to happen though, everywhere else! Thanks so much for your comment dude.
Yessss, it's so hard to make friends as a Deaf person since no one else knew sign language. I wish my school taught sign so that the other kids could communicate with me ☹️
@@brisahernandez9172 Could you ask the principal about adding it as another language class? I mean seriously, who's going to use French or German regularly? But there are deaf people everywhere, so you could certainly use that language credit without needing a passport! :)
Woah, that's so inspirational and cool! I started learning because of anime and manga.. A Silent Voice.. lol (The anime is down here, but be warned!) (WARNING! Mentions of s*icide) It's about a deaf girl and a hearing boy who bullied her for her disability in elementary school. She transfers. Years later, the boy felt bad, since he was then bullied (by his past friends) for being a former bully, and started learning sign language so he could apologize to the girl, then kill himself. But then, he meets her, they become friends and he doesnt kill himself. It's a touching story about disabilities and bullying.. if you're interested in that.
I'm not sure how you two ended up on my recommended, but I sure am glad I clicked! Its been really interesting, and damn, that puppy got big quick! Awesome channel.
I just randomly came across this chanel today and I have to say I'm really enjoying all of the videos. I'm so happy I found this Chanel it's reminded me how much I want to learn more sign language.
Joshua Calosso Marriage is a special thing, not just something you do and throw away in a second.. Go educate yourself before you say something like this.
@Joshua Calosso apparently not enough if I see what you are talking about. So go educate yourself even more, than you'd probably understand what marriage is all about😊
when people sign they seem so much more friendly because of the use of facial expressions... it seems so much warmer than normal straight-faced talking interactions...
My 3 month old son is profoundly deaf, yalls channel is amazing!! Thank you for all you do!! My fiance and i are currently learning sign language and teaching him as well!
Such powerful souls and such beautiful people. You two have really opened my eyes in terms of discrimination in the deaf community. Thank you! I hope to one day be fluent in ASl, much love and happy new year.🖤🤟🏼
I’m a hearing person, one of my first books my mom gave me when I was a kid was “my first book of sign” I believe I still have it to this day. I had the alphabet memorize for a long time. And could sign my name and all my families names. I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to the video and following along with the signs, and remembering signs I used to know. It inspires me to learn asl fully to be able to communicate or interpret if the need arises. Super cool!
I love watching y'all I know some sign language I am in 7th grade and started learning sign language in 4th grade so almost 4 years. At my church there are mostly deaf people. I can communicate with them. It helps to know that deaf people don't think it's offensive when asking what a sign is. Love y'all ❤
I'm so glad I found you two. I'm hearing and I know it's not offensive to try. I learned some ASL in high school. They allowed it at the start of my sophomore year, so _of course_ I signed up as soon as I found out. I was given a sign name. I can't tell you how _happy_ all of them are (that I've met). I've been on an indefinite hiatus since graduating 7 years ago. I know enough to get by. Even then I feel so bad that I know so little (I have other personal issues at play). Literally, you guys have helped my self-confidence. I joined a deaf thing on MeetUp, but I'm terrified of actually meeting up. Y'all can sign so fast and it can be very overwhelming. Love you two! Please keep this up.
So glad your self-confidence has boosted! This is Ryan and I just want to let you know that I have never minded slowing down for a hearing person if they ask me to slow down. I actually appreciate it more! Shows me that they care enough to try and understand :)
I am from Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and here I haven’t ever met or be close to someone deaf but, I’ve been seeing your videos and loving them. Also becoming more conscious about how important it is to be able to communicate with someone without needing an interpreter and make them feel a little more secure about socializing with hearing people. I am a medicine student and since the beginning knew I would love to be able to communicate with patients with LSN (NSL Nicaraguan Sign Language in English). So you have inspired me to get some lessons from a deaf woman 🧏🏻♀️ who is doing online now since she became jobless due to coronavirus quarantine. So I’m using this time to help myself and help others in the future if God allows me to. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you so much for the inspiration
God, as an ER tech I'm acutely aware of the fact I NEED to learn Spanish and hopefully ASL at some point, but half the damn German I learned (my family is German/Swiss) in HS is just GONE already because I haven't had an opportunity to practice much. I also wonder if it's partially my ADHD, because I have a lot of difficulty learning and maintaining specifically syntax. It makes me so embarrassed that I have difficulty speaking to my grandmother now, because she's forgetting her English and I'm forgetting my German. I'm very worried that I won't be able to learn those languages at all, or won't be able to use them fluently. I'm also in nursing school and my time between that and work is incredibly limited. That and I have a bit of social anxiety, so I'm very embarrassed and ashamed when I can't communicate with someone at a level that makes sense (really, it makes me feel VERY awkward to make mistakes in general, and language is even worse). There are just so many roadblocks and overcoming them takes such an enormous amount of mental and emotional energy.
This video is awesome. I love how you help her to learn. I started learning ASL at 15 to help my godchild who almost suddenly lost her hearing at 2yrs. The next year I found out I was losing my hearing from loud band noises from which I was singing and many infections. Years later.... After college I am only surrounded by the hearing,not deaf community, so I did less signing to help the hearing feel less awkward,then I started forgetting some signs. I used to sign at home all the time because my son who was 3-5 years old,was taking ASL in college with me and my older children were learning it too. To help keep my hands and brain active ,I started teaching each of my grandchildren before they could talk,also(reminding)my children,as well as my hubby. I'm always practicing ASL and deaf signing. When I get a fever my hearing aid don't work(there's no sound),I need an interpreter. When I'm not sick,I have an acute deafness where I can't tell the difference of words,letters,and numbers that sound alike(ex. 50,60,55,65 BPT) the hearing are not very patient to spell using words for letters nor repeating several times. I started lip reading many years ago,but it only help depending on how the person speaks. When out in crowds,I'm in my own world,but with my group,or immediate family,I get more attention. Life is a struggle. Anyways,I hope to learn more from you two in teaching my family ASL.
I’ve been practicing ASL for 9 years, great at signing songs but conversation is more challenging for me, this video inspired me to reach out more to the deaf community around me and practice conversational signing so that I gain a better understanding. Your pup is also precious, all the best
I took a small ASL class at like 10 or 11 and I LOVED it, and the person teaching the class stopped. I know the alphabet pretty well and few tiny signs. I really am Interested in taking official classes in it. I have always been fascinated in it, and I am drawn to people signing. We went to Disney World in 2018 and we were watching a performance and I spent most of the time watching the interpreters lol.
I am in the first 1 min and 12 seconds and already absolutely infatuated with both of you and the way he intently and lovingly gazed at you. Wow. You have his heart girl! So rare to see this jump off the screen like this. I am going to be learning and teaching my nearly 8 year old signing so we can have a better understanding and we genuinely find it so frustrating to not be able to communicate with anyone who has hearing difficulties. I hope to be watching you more and see what I pick up and enforce with lessons. Subscribed!
Love your channel. I grew up very close with my deaf cousin and she and I would have a blast. Once in high school, I learned sign but I have forgotten a lot. I’m thankful for your channel to help me get back into signing again. Plus you guys are great!!! 🤘
you guys really inspire me to learn asl. I am going through some rough moments in life and it would be great to learn something new to show everyone i am capable of doing something even when i am told not to. you guys are amazing keep going great!!! love you to the max!!
Love this! My grandson (also named Ryan) was born deaf. He now wears cochlears but he is also learning sign in school as well as us on our own time. I like watching this for practice to see if I'm understanding. It's so fast! Hopefully I get better at reading it.
I kind of stumbled across your page and love it! I've never turned on caption until your channel. Lol! Every time I finish watching a video and my husband tells to me I am strangely aware of my hands. Have no clue how to sign but I'm watching so intently that my body wants to. I would love to learn but also have no one else to speak it with and I would lose it faster than I could pick it up.
😂😂 that's hilarious!!! maybe your body is tellin you to learn ASAP! but that is so true, need to practice to retain. Maybe you could make some deaf friends in your area?
I'm learning sign language myself, and one thing I've come to realize about sign language is that you need to just sit back and watch what the person is saying allowing you to just "listen" instead of always wanting to interrupt or state your point. It's a wonderful thing that has taught me so much about communication.
Found your channel about two days ago on my 'recommended', and I've probably binged watched most of your videos already! I teach early childhood, so I use basic signs for my kiddos who are still developing their language but your channel has inspired me to learn more! My best friend is also a Speech Pathologist, and I think she would LOVE your channel just as much as I do so I'll have to share with her! ❤️
I work at a motorcycle shop, a lot of deaf people come in and order parts and accessories from us. I want to learn sign language and have been trying to find a good start as far as learning goes so I can communicate with our customers. I have slowly started and they seem to only want to try to communicate with me as I treat them like a person, where as most seem to think if they yell they’ll somehow hear them. I think it is a beautiful language and a great thing to know and understand and definitely will sign up!! Thank you!!
ooh i'm really early and cant wait to watch the video, I'm taking ASL this year in HS so hopefully in a while i wont need to have captions for your videos
Hi, I am single Deaf Father with 3 hearing daughters and I spend a week watching all your videos from the beginning to now and I am surprise that I get to see a few videos that show the Cream Pan bakery because we alway stop by every Sundays before we go to church. My olders daughter start watching and she like the videos.
My grandparents on my dads side both are deaf and when I was super young I thought they could secretly hear and just didn't want to talk to me, and just when I accepted that they legit couldn't hear me I meet more of my family that are deaf and went back to thinking that they all could secretly hear me because when I would make a loud sound they would look at me. I didn't understand that they could still feel vibrations and movements from banging that I just associated with sound. Kinda funny to look back.
I put on my noise cancelling headphones, turn the volume of the video down to mute it basically, and not only can I concentrate more on being able to decipher signing but also really puts in perspective or gives me a minute glimpse of Ryan's, all deaf, and all HoH peoples world. I'm so happy I found this channel!
Omg I love you taught your puppy to sit using sign. We taught our 3 dogs the same thing when they want a treat. You guys are so relatable to my fiancé and I!
I just saw a movie called A Silent Voice yesterday on Netflix and it made me realize how sign language would bridge gaps with all types of people and could probably lead to better understanding with people who have different thinking styles. I'm an artist and I can hear, so I'm very visual with learning and have been picking up the alphabet and simple words quickly. I don't personally know anyone who's deaf but I'm excited to learn because I know there's always a possibility it could help someone be understood. It wows me that sign isn't taught as a universal second language :( I just found your guys' channel yesterday and I absolutely love your content! I can't wait to learn more!
My struggle is my receptive skills and I get nervous being in the deaf community because I need to ask ppl to repeat repeat repeat and slow down all the time, if I don't there is a lot of smiling and nodding without a clue as to what's going on.
I just wanna say THANK YOU for existing!!! People like you is how and why I get inspired to do more in life. I am studying ASL on youtube, it's been a passion of mine to learn for a long time. Please keep your videos coming. Would love to meet you both if ever your in NYC area
Thank you guys so much because I’m interested in learning sign language♥️ it’s a beautiful way to communicate and I feel bad when I approach those who know it but I don’t know it since I would love it if schools had this language. You both are adorable and just always stay together because you both shine together♥️♥️
I'm so happy the TH-cam algorithm brought me here. I've learned so much, not only about signing but also the importance of communication in a relationship. But to top it off, some of the words I've learned to sign from your videos: - Relationship - Food - Out - Car - Game - I love you
You guys should watch an anime movie called A silent voice, it’s my favorite movie and it’s on Netflix, it’s has a heavy focus on sign language I suppose, maybe you’ll like it. Love the content 🙏🏽
just stumbled upon your videos, trying to get into ASL more bc it’s lovely to be able to speak with signers. working at a grocery store and this sweet older lady came up and she was singing to her friend and was asking about a cart and i was able to reply yes and your welcome in sign and she was so happy especially bc ya know masks i’m sure limit being able to read lips.
one if the biggest pieces of advice ive seen from every kind of language teaching is that the people whose language you may be trying to learn are more than happy to help you learn. that was my biggest issue with never fully grasping spanish. but i realized, at least for me and living in america, i was afraid of being treated how a lot of native english speakers treat ESL speakers. I have so many people in my life to practice ASL with so I refuse to let that irrational fear get to me as i start to learn. Loved this video and discovering you!
Sign language was new at my school and I ended up taking it alongside my brother and I did all the way up to ASL 3, we started a ASL club and my brother later became an entrepreneur and I just kept with it and I ended up meeting my best friend in ASL class. Sign language was my first love, and learning it has been the coolest thing ever. I encourage ANY/EVERYONE to try.
I love this channel so much. ❤👏 And it's helped my daughter learn ASL. I learned some English Sign Language when I was 10 because I had read a biography on Helen Keller and I was very fascinated by her and then my brother and best friend learned in Jr. High, so I had a couple of people I could always sign with and then in HS we took ASL together and it's always been this thing I knew with a couple of people, but once I was out of school I completely lost it, so I had some memory but not constant use and I would use it every now and then but it was definitely on the back burner, and then I found this channel (thank you TH-cam) and now it's back in my life and my daughter is learning so I have someone to sign with again, and she loves you guys... and your dog. ❤
My uncle is deaf. Because I've loved him since forever...I learned finger spelling at about 3-4 years old. He taught me. I wanted to talk to him sooo badly! Now as a 37 year old woman, I'm ashamed that I've never mastered sign but I've never lost it either. I keep in touch with him still. I'm the only niece that can talk semi-fluent with him today. His mother never learned sign. When you love someone.... you'll give your best. Love your channel.
I started learning sign language today and you guys inspired me to do it! Your videos made me realize that everybody should know sign language because people in the deaf community shouldn’t have to feel outcasted when they’re around hearing people who don’t know any sign!
Omg you two are too cute. My best friends sister is deaf and she taught me SO much when I was around 10-14 years old...& about 10 years later - I took 2 years of ASL in college & I can get thru the basics, but yes, body language is SO important to add to your signing- it needs to match what you’re trying to convey! I tried SO HARD to verbalize your finger spelling by looking at it by sounding out every letter to make a word but you both are SO fast! How do some of us get better at trying so hard to sound it out as your finger spelling. I don’t look at every letter, but I try to sound it out as a word as your going along, but dang you kids are fast! ☺️
Here’s a question! I know name signs are personal and have a lot of meaning behind them when given to a person, and that it’s rude for a hearing person to pick their own name sign. Here’s the question: what do your name signs mean? Ellen, when did you get yours? If it’s too personal totally fine to ignore!
I was in driver's Ed with someone who was deaf, and they had an interpreter, and I got to thinking about it, and I was wondering how is it like to drive when you're deaf? I can imagine it's kinda scary since you can't hear the cars around you. I was also wondering how do you know when to pull over if there are sirens? It makes sense if it was the sound vibrations, but I'm still curious to know 😊 Also I wanna add this, I just found your guys' channel, and I'm I love, you guys are so wholesome! 😊
I'm not deaf and I'm not the person you asked so I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but I believe deaf people can buy devices that alert them when emergency vehicles are nearby or when other cars honk their horns. There's a video on TH-cam of a deaf person answering questions like these and they also said that deaf people are typically very observant (because they have to rely on their other senses) and so they probably notice more than the average driver. I imagine it would be scary not to be able to hear while you're driving, but based on what I know and my experiences on the road I feel like deaf people might be better drivers than people who can hear lol
It’s so interesting to see how different people use asl. I’ve noticed that you two are more English (compared to my experience) than visual/very asl. But I love seeing how different people use the language in an artistic/visual sense, it’s so beautiful to see people play with asl and share their experiences
Chris S I think for his case now he can feel it more instead of hearing, his senses have been more heightened with a lot of more things such as feel, touch, taste, and his overall awareness with his eye movement. And I think Some TV’s have the option for captions. So I’m sure he uses that to help! But I’m not too sure, he seems to know a lot and deals with it pretty well, I just discovered this channel and I love it already
@@LxtinDoll well for when he watches TV, if its loud enough he can feel the vibration because deaf people their senses are better than people like us, I just started looking into stuff like this about deaf people, and from what he said previously he wore hearing aids before, so that helped him for sometime , but he chooses not to wear them, when I say feeling it, I mean when he watches TV, and the volume being loud enough it'll vibrate through his ears, Im not too sure on what it does but, he is able to watch TV pretty well it can also be with the help of captions too :)
After many years of watching this channel I have to say there is nothing else quite like it (for me at least). Ryan and Ellem taught me how to sign and I am teaching my 6 kids. Thank you for all that you do!!❤
Has Ryan ever heard Ellen’s real voice? If so what did Ryan think, and was it what Ryan expected? If not is it an option/would you like to hear Ellen’s voice?
I've learned that deafness, like blindness, usually isn't an all or nothing kind if thing. That's why hearing aids can work. It would really just depend on the individual's unique kind of deafness as to whether they could hear someone's voice with the assistance of technology
👋 to both of you! First off, thank you 😊 I've always loved helping people, and involving people together. I met a deaf guy at a gay bar, and we became good friends. I started picking up on a bit of communication, also loved taking him out of his comfort zone onto the dance floor! I'm really in tune with beat, and music. So I exaggerated my moving to the sound, along with the flashing lights, while holding him. He really enjoyed it. We lost touch when he moved out of state for college, and I lost a lot of what I had learned. I'm a 34 year old guy from Michigan. I'm in the middle of my next degree, to become a therapist. I'd really like to develop the ability to have deaf clients. So maybe I'll Minor in ASL?! You guys inspire me, partly because I'd really like to meet a deaf boyfriend. So don't be afraid to pass along my info 🤣😂 Oh, I downloaded skill share, I'm gonna see what I can get from it to learn more sign! Thanks again. ✌🤟 Tim
Your relationship is really inspiring, glad I found you guys! I was wondering though, you sign with both hands, but sometimes, you sign with only one hand and it seems as understandable as with two...?
For those of us who are learning sign language but hardly know anything yet. It is extremely helpful when she signs and talks at the same time so we can really learn. Because to be honest I have no clue what her boyfriend is saying app all but I could really learn through her that way
This is super random but I’ve always wondered this. What does Ryan think your voice sounds like, or more what would he guess it sounds like? Using descriptors of course like high/low pitched, husky/shrill, smooth/rough that kinda thing. Love you guys!
watching this really has helped me learn ASL!! im taking a course in college but its so hard because of covid as well as not enough programs out there to interact with people learning ASL as well as deaf people too. So being exposed to this page truly has helped me along my journey!
Does Ryan have the option to get hearing aids, if so does he even considering to get them? If not can you explain the general understanding about hearing aids, I understand some people have the option to get them but choose not to.
You guys are great. I really enjoy your videos! Java is so big now! I took ASL in college and I loved it! My sister is now an ASL teacher at a high school and she interprets on the side.
Yo Ryan . This question goes to you. You don't have to answer this question but were u ever bullied or picked on because of your Deafness and if so how did you cope/manage. I asked this question as many people in my high school bully me cos I'm Deaf . Again you don't have to answer as it's quite personal but I'd just thought how other Deaf people coped with rude people in general.
Nathan Murphy I’m sorry to hear this. There’s genuinely no justification in bullying, especially when it’s about an individual’s disability. Those bullies are the kids who will take a while to mature, if ever. I hope you don’t let it get to you!
Nathan Murphy I am very sorry that you are getting bullied at school because you are deaf. The people who are bullying you are disgusting and I hope they will regret what they’ve done to you when they are older, and if not karma will get back at them. I hope Ryan reads your comment and answers back to you.
New Years resolution is to learn sign language...your channel popped up without even searching. It’s a sign! No pun intended. You guys should do simple phrases or words in asl before the end of each video. Looking forward to watching your guys journey..
You guys truly deserve more subscribers and attention for all your hard work you put into these videos. Trust me, people will catch up soon and it’ll pay off!! Your videos are the only videos I really watch through and i’m interested in. Keep doing what you do, you guys are amazing!
this channel is everything:
inclusiveness, cuteness, dogs, comedy-
"meet me at the bathroom"
"why the bathroom????? that sounds wrong"
LOL
😂
trueeeee
Your nome looks so Brazilian, do you have a brazilian/portuguese background?
I agree they are hilarious! Such a joy to watch :)
Their adorable
@@MyClickTip hahah "nome" 😂 it's like Spanish speaking people saying 'pero' instead of 'but'. Stuff like that is kinda funny to me
Because he relies on watching you to know what your saying he constantly is looking at you. He looks at you with so much love. So cute.
Both of them do, she looks at him through the camera😂. Soooo sweet😍
They're both so cute 😍❤️
I thought the same thing
I heard that in the deaf community its disrespectful to not look at the person in the eyes when they sign. So it makes sense...
True❤😍
i like that you said "we were only dating 1 or 2 years" while most high school relationships last around 1 or 2 months
😂
Ahahaha I thought the same thing!
Adelia honestly, my relationship has been going for almost a a year and a half so I don’t think I’m doing too bad
@@cmooisthename Yeah i feel that. I started dating my boyfriend at the beginning of my senior year of high school and we're almost at 3 years so it really depends on the maturity of the two involved
Adelia ikr I have some friends who are freshman and dear god they go through relationships like it’s nothing I’ve been in one relationship ever sense the end of freshmen year so for we’ve been together for almost a year (I’m graduating a year early so I’m a year ahead of my boyfriend so our freshman year was the same but I took my sophomore year last semester and now I’m in my junior semester) back when I was in middle school I was with my ex for about 2 years although that relationship was never going to work because I’m gay and she’s a lesbian but we didn’t know at the time. She and I are still quite close. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see how someone can go through 10+ relationships in a semester.
The reason you learned so quickly is that the two of you speak the language of love. No joke, if you ever want to learn a foreign language, just got find a boyfriend or girlfriend who speaks the language and your learning curve gets cut in half.
#keeper
Yeah I immidiately noticed the similarities to learning really any new language
My boyfriend is not learning Spanish 😭😭
-. A 😄
*Just go find a boyfriend or girlfriend* 👀
it's not that simple 😂
“Meet me by the bathrooms”
“👀bathrooms???”
😂😂 ily guys
No reply??
I’m slowly losing my hearing and I’m learning bsl (British sign language) and thanks for the tips. I only know the basics right now but hopefully I can be signing properly in a year
Prisca Feel really bad for you :( good luck with learning sign language!!
Thank you x
Wishing you the best thru this ! I'm sure eventually you'll do amazing :)
Jenn Cole thank you ☺️
What is the cause? I hope you don't feel offended, I just feel curious because I have never meet one. Btw happy new year and I hope you will achieve your target! (Sorry for my english)
I'm totally one of the clerks Ryan was talking about. I originally started to learn ASL decades ago, just because I think it's such a cool way to communicate, but nobody around me signed, so I couldn't really practice. But a few years ago, I was working as a clerk in an area with a lot of deaf people, and rather than write notes back and forth when my customers came in, I started learning again. Although I loved how stoked the deaf folks were that I was putting some effort into learning, it also made me sad that it's so unusual for someone to attempt to communicate with them that the action sparked such joy. For someone to be that happy that you're trying the SIMPLEST forms of communication with them tells me that hearing folks trying is a rarity. And that's fucking terrible. We need to start teaching ASL in schools as a second language. It is not that hard, and would open up so many doors for deaf people. You guys are putting out entertaining, informative content, keep up the good work! :)
you're one of those AWESOME clerks!!!!!! Thank you for putting in extra effort. Yes, it is kinda sad that not many people put in the effort. Where we live in california, ASL is starting to be established as a language credit for foreign languages so I'm glad about that. It does need to happen though, everywhere else! Thanks so much for your comment dude.
Yessss, it's so hard to make friends as a Deaf person since no one else knew sign language. I wish my school taught sign so that the other kids could communicate with me ☹️
@@brisahernandez9172 Could you ask the principal about adding it as another language class? I mean seriously, who's going to use French or German regularly? But there are deaf people everywhere, so you could certainly use that language credit without needing a passport! :)
I would love to take sign language if my school offered it!
Woah, that's so inspirational and cool! I started learning because of anime and manga.. A Silent Voice.. lol
(The anime is down here, but be warned!)
(WARNING! Mentions of s*icide)
It's about a deaf girl and a hearing boy who bullied her for her disability in elementary school. She transfers. Years later, the boy felt bad, since he was then bullied (by his past friends) for being a former bully, and started learning sign language so he could apologize to the girl, then kill himself. But then, he meets her, they become friends and he doesnt kill himself.
It's a touching story about disabilities and bullying.. if you're interested in that.
I'm not sure how you two ended up on my recommended, but I sure am glad I clicked! Its been really interesting, and damn, that puppy got big quick! Awesome channel.
Thanks so much for the kind comment! Yeah Java has been growing so fast. It's crazy
Yeah I’m not sure how they got on my fed as well. I’m glade I have been watching them.
7:19 idk why but I watched her spell convention like five times. Its crazy how fast they do it!
I almost cursed when I saw it.
Extremely impressive indeed.
I always slow down the video to 75%, and I can see the signs much better.
Found this channel on the last day of 2019!!! Blessed!!!!!
😁💯
S Park same here
It was about the same for me too.
Good times
I love that he still corrects you and you learn from him, it’s really cute
I just learned if you turn on captions you can read what he is doing with his hands which is cool
Hyper Elite thanks, now I gotta watch the whole video all over lol
😂
I used to just watch in utter confusion
@@TooHighRiot DOES THSI MEAN U DIDNT KNOW WHAT HE WAS SAYING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE VIDEOS
But thats cheating.
I just randomly came across this chanel today and I have to say I'm really enjoying all of the videos. I'm so happy I found this Chanel it's reminded me how much I want to learn more sign language.
I'm so glad you enjoy our videos Stephanie
Thats so nice! Also you made a spelling mistake its channel also same thing i found it today!
oh my god, java sleeping on ryan at 8:00 is THE CUTEST. melted my heart!
Is there anything Ryan thinks makes a noise but actually doesn’t and Vice versa?
Most deaf people think the sun makes a sound
to be honest I don't really care enough to wonder those things. 😂
Buck Barry Well it’s not audible and there’s no medium between earth and the sun for audible sound so... no
he just came for all 4 years of latin i took in high school i’m SHOOK
Gaby Woda haha sorry 😅
Dude looks like a mix between Matt Damon and Ryan Sheckler
Taron Egerton
When u gonna put a ring on it mate?? 💁🏻♀️💯
😂😅
Joshua Calosso no it's not marriage is everything when you love someone so much you wanna wake up to them every morning that's what marriage is
Joshua Calosso Marriage is a special thing, not just something you do and throw away in a second.. Go educate yourself before you say something like this.
@Joshua Calosso apparently not enough if I see what you are talking about. So go educate yourself even more, than you'd probably understand what marriage is all about😊
@Joshua Calosso instead of replying to me, go research marriage
probably someone said it before me, but I'll say it
he looks like Matt Damon
😅 you're like the 2,000th person to say this 😂
I started watching because he looks and acts exactly like my brother! Everyone tells my brother he looks like Matt Damon.
I knew he looked familliar, I couldn't place it!
@Chris Christiansen an actor.
A very young, cute, Matt Damon
when people sign they seem so much more friendly because of the use of facial expressions... it seems so much warmer than normal straight-faced talking interactions...
Omg watching both of you makes me so happy, never stop smiling of how cute and a happy you are. Keep educating people with your love guys.
My 3 month old son is profoundly deaf, yalls channel is amazing!! Thank you for all you do!! My fiance and i are currently learning sign language and teaching him as well!
I love how after they talk about her not knowing a word, spelling it out, then him telling her how to sign it, they did the same thing 7:30
Such powerful souls and such beautiful people. You two have really opened my eyes in terms of discrimination in the deaf community. Thank you! I hope to one day be fluent in ASl, much love and happy new year.🖤🤟🏼
Thanks Nicholas for the kind comment Bro! Happy new year, much love!!
I’m a hearing person, one of my first books my mom gave me when I was a kid was “my first book of sign” I believe I still have it to this day. I had the alphabet memorize for a long time. And could sign my name and all my families names. I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to the video and following along with the signs, and remembering signs I used to know. It inspires me to learn asl fully to be able to communicate or interpret if the need arises. Super cool!
That's so awesome!
I absolutely adore how lovingly he corrects her, and how accepting she is of the correction. No wonder she learned to sign so quickly! So cute. ❤️
I love watching y'all I know some sign language I am in 7th grade and started learning sign language in 4th grade so almost 4 years. At my church there are mostly deaf people. I can communicate with them. It helps to know that deaf people don't think it's offensive when asking what a sign is. Love y'all ❤
I'm so glad I found you two. I'm hearing and I know it's not offensive to try. I learned some ASL in high school. They allowed it at the start of my sophomore year, so _of course_ I signed up as soon as I found out. I was given a sign name. I can't tell you how _happy_ all of them are (that I've met). I've been on an indefinite hiatus since graduating 7 years ago. I know enough to get by. Even then I feel so bad that I know so little (I have other personal issues at play).
Literally, you guys have helped my self-confidence. I joined a deaf thing on MeetUp, but I'm terrified of actually meeting up. Y'all can sign so fast and it can be very overwhelming.
Love you two! Please keep this up.
So glad your self-confidence has boosted! This is Ryan and I just want to let you know that I have never minded slowing down for a hearing person if they ask me to slow down. I actually appreciate it more! Shows me that they care enough to try and understand :)
Java loves cuddling with her daddy she's so cute
Makes my heart melt everytime she cuddles me! LOL
I’m trying to learn sign language because my 4 year old nephew is autistic and these videos help me a lot! Such an inspiration you both are💛
I am from Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and here I haven’t ever met or be close to someone deaf but, I’ve been seeing your videos and loving them. Also becoming more conscious about how important it is to be able to communicate with someone without needing an interpreter and make them feel a little more secure about socializing with hearing people. I am a medicine student and since the beginning knew I would love to be able to communicate with patients with LSN (NSL Nicaraguan Sign Language in English). So you have inspired me to get some lessons from a deaf woman 🧏🏻♀️ who is doing online now since she became jobless due to coronavirus quarantine. So I’m using this time to help myself and help others in the future if God allows me to. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you so much for the inspiration
God, as an ER tech I'm acutely aware of the fact I NEED to learn Spanish and hopefully ASL at some point, but half the damn German I learned (my family is German/Swiss) in HS is just GONE already because I haven't had an opportunity to practice much. I also wonder if it's partially my ADHD, because I have a lot of difficulty learning and maintaining specifically syntax. It makes me so embarrassed that I have difficulty speaking to my grandmother now, because she's forgetting her English and I'm forgetting my German.
I'm very worried that I won't be able to learn those languages at all, or won't be able to use them fluently. I'm also in nursing school and my time between that and work is incredibly limited. That and I have a bit of social anxiety, so I'm very embarrassed and ashamed when I can't communicate with someone at a level that makes sense (really, it makes me feel VERY awkward to make mistakes in general, and language is even worse). There are just so many roadblocks and overcoming them takes such an enormous amount of mental and emotional energy.
This video is awesome. I love how you help her to learn.
I started learning ASL at 15 to help my godchild who almost suddenly lost her hearing at 2yrs. The next year I found out I was losing my hearing from loud band noises from which I was singing and many infections. Years later.... After college I am only surrounded by the hearing,not deaf community, so I did less signing to help the hearing feel less awkward,then I started forgetting some signs. I used to sign at home all the time because my son who was 3-5 years old,was taking ASL in college with me and my older children were learning it too. To help keep my hands and brain active ,I started teaching each of my grandchildren before they could talk,also(reminding)my children,as well as my hubby. I'm always practicing ASL and deaf signing. When I get a fever my hearing aid don't work(there's no sound),I need an interpreter. When I'm not sick,I have an acute deafness where I can't tell the difference of words,letters,and numbers that sound alike(ex. 50,60,55,65 BPT) the hearing are not very patient to spell using words for letters nor repeating several times. I started lip reading many years ago,but it only help depending on how the person speaks. When out in crowds,I'm in my own world,but with my group,or immediate family,I get more attention. Life is a struggle.
Anyways,I hope to learn more from you two in teaching my family ASL.
I was one of those people that asked this question in the past week, so I appreciate your responsiveness!
Of course Raymond!
My cousin is deaf and it actually made him really happy that he could watch someone on TH-cam and understand what they were saying.
I JUST SAW THE BACKSTREET BOYS SONG THAT Y'ALL WERE IN I CRIED
Ren Gogo wait what
@@sara_kovacevic they're in the music video - th-cam.com/video/Vk-VHOCyrTI/w-d-xo.html
hahaha! yeah that was awesome to be part of!
Sign Duo y’all were so cute!!!!
I saw it just now. So awesome
I’ve been practicing ASL for 9 years, great at signing songs but conversation is more challenging for me, this video inspired me to reach out more to the deaf community around me and practice conversational signing so that I gain a better understanding. Your pup is also precious, all the best
I took a small ASL class at like 10 or 11 and I LOVED it, and the person teaching the class stopped. I know the alphabet pretty well and few tiny signs. I really am Interested in taking official classes in it. I have always been fascinated in it, and I am drawn to people signing. We went to Disney World in 2018 and we were watching a performance and I spent most of the time watching the interpreters lol.
that's so funny LOL. The interpreters were more interesting than the show 😂
I am in the first 1 min and 12 seconds and already absolutely infatuated with both of you and the way he intently and lovingly gazed at you. Wow. You have his heart girl! So rare to see this jump off the screen like this.
I am going to be learning and teaching my nearly 8 year old signing so we can have a better understanding and we genuinely find it so frustrating to not be able to communicate with anyone who has hearing difficulties. I hope to be watching you more and see what I pick up and enforce with lessons. Subscribed!
You guys should do a day in life with the puppy
Love your channel. I grew up very close with my deaf cousin and she and I would have a blast. Once in high school, I learned sign but I have forgotten a lot. I’m thankful for your channel to help me get back into signing again. Plus you guys are great!!! 🤘
you guys really inspire me to learn asl. I am going through some rough moments in life and it would be great to learn something new to show everyone i am capable of doing something even when i am told not to. you guys are amazing keep going great!!! love you to the max!!
Love this! My grandson (also named Ryan) was born deaf. He now wears cochlears but he is also learning sign in school as well as us on our own time. I like watching this for practice to see if I'm understanding. It's so fast! Hopefully I get better at reading it.
I kind of stumbled across your page and love it! I've never turned on caption until your channel. Lol! Every time I finish watching a video and my husband tells to me I am strangely aware of my hands. Have no clue how to sign but I'm watching so intently that my body wants to.
I would love to learn but also have no one else to speak it with and I would lose it faster than I could pick it up.
😂😂 that's hilarious!!! maybe your body is tellin you to learn ASAP! but that is so true, need to practice to retain. Maybe you could make some deaf friends in your area?
I'm learning sign language myself, and one thing I've come to realize about sign language is that you need to just sit back and watch what the person is saying allowing you to just "listen" instead of always wanting to interrupt or state your point. It's a wonderful thing that has taught me so much about communication.
Found your channel about two days ago on my 'recommended', and I've probably binged watched most of your videos already! I teach early childhood, so I use basic signs for my kiddos who are still developing their language but your channel has inspired me to learn more! My best friend is also a Speech Pathologist, and I think she would LOVE your channel just as much as I do so I'll have to share with her! ❤️
Thanks for the kind comment Lupita!
I work at a motorcycle shop, a lot of deaf people come in and order parts and accessories from us. I want to learn sign language and have been trying to find a good start as far as learning goes so I can communicate with our customers. I have slowly started and they seem to only want to try to communicate with me as I treat them like a person, where as most seem to think if they yell they’ll somehow hear them. I think it is a beautiful language and a great thing to know and understand and definitely will sign up!! Thank you!!
ooh i'm really early and cant wait to watch the video, I'm taking ASL this year in HS so hopefully in a while i wont need to have captions for your videos
Hi, I am single Deaf Father with 3 hearing daughters and I spend a week watching all your videos from the beginning to now and I am surprise that I get to see a few videos that show the Cream Pan bakery because we alway stop by every Sundays before we go to church. My olders daughter start watching and she like the videos.
My grandparents on my dads side both are deaf and when I was super young I thought they could secretly hear and just didn't want to talk to me, and just when I accepted that they legit couldn't hear me I meet more of my family that are deaf and went back to thinking that they all could secretly hear me because when I would make a loud sound they would look at me. I didn't understand that they could still feel vibrations and movements from banging that I just associated with sound. Kinda funny to look back.
hahaha sixth sense for sure!
I put on my noise cancelling headphones, turn the volume of the video down to mute it basically, and not only can I concentrate more on being able to decipher signing but also really puts in perspective or gives me a minute glimpse of Ryan's, all deaf, and all HoH peoples
world. I'm so happy I found this channel!
I wish the highschool I'm going to has ASL classes, You both have motivated me to start learning, thank you and love you both💕
Omg I love you taught your puppy to sit using sign. We taught our 3 dogs the same thing when they want a treat. You guys are so relatable to my fiancé and I!
Java is HUGE omg 🥺🥺 shes the cutest dog in the world
i agree she is!
I just saw a movie called A Silent Voice yesterday on Netflix and it made me realize how sign language would bridge gaps with all types of people and could probably lead to better understanding with people who have different thinking styles. I'm an artist and I can hear, so I'm very visual with learning and have been picking up the alphabet and simple words quickly. I don't personally know anyone who's deaf but I'm excited to learn because I know there's always a possibility it could help someone be understood. It wows me that sign isn't taught as a universal second language :( I just found your guys' channel yesterday and I absolutely love your content! I can't wait to learn more!
My struggle is my receptive skills and I get nervous being in the deaf community because I need to ask ppl to repeat repeat repeat and slow down all the time, if I don't there is a lot of smiling and nodding without a clue as to what's going on.
I just wanna say THANK YOU for existing!!! People like you is how and why I get inspired to do more in life. I am studying ASL on youtube, it's been a passion of mine to learn for a long time.
Please keep your videos coming.
Would love to meet you both if ever your in NYC area
Thank you guys so much because I’m interested in learning sign language♥️ it’s a beautiful way to communicate and I feel bad when I approach those who know it but I don’t know it since I would love it if schools had this language. You both are adorable and just always stay together because you both shine together♥️♥️
I'm so happy the TH-cam algorithm brought me here. I've learned so much, not only about signing but also the importance of communication in a relationship. But to top it off, some of the words I've learned to sign from your videos:
- Relationship
- Food
- Out
- Car
- Game
- I love you
That's so awesome
You guys should watch an anime movie called A silent voice, it’s my favorite movie and it’s on Netflix, it’s has a heavy focus on sign language I suppose, maybe you’ll like it. Love the content 🙏🏽
thanks for the recommendation! we'll check it out!
I second this! It’s a beautiful movie!
I love the movie! One of my favourite Anime movies.
just stumbled upon your videos, trying to get into ASL more bc it’s lovely to be able to speak with signers. working at a grocery store and this sweet older lady came up and she was singing to her friend and was asking about a cart and i was able to reply yes and your welcome in sign and she was so happy especially bc ya know masks i’m sure limit being able to read lips.
Wow yall are the best couple!! I love how one person can help you learn a whole new language.
one if the biggest pieces of advice ive seen from every kind of language teaching is that the people whose language you may be trying to learn are more than happy to help you learn. that was my biggest issue with never fully grasping spanish. but i realized, at least for me and living in america, i was afraid of being treated how a lot of native english speakers treat ESL speakers. I have so many people in my life to practice ASL with so I refuse to let that irrational fear get to me as i start to learn. Loved this video and discovering you!
Love when you guys post. I’m getting to a point where I don’t need to look down on closed captions. 🤟
yayyy, go you!!
Sign language was new at my school and I ended up taking it alongside my brother and I did all the way up to ASL 3, we started a ASL club and my brother later became an entrepreneur and I just kept with it and I ended up meeting my best friend in ASL class. Sign language was my first love, and learning it has been the coolest thing ever. I encourage ANY/EVERYONE to try.
You guys are so cute. I love watching your videos. I’m in so much pain rn and watching this is helping sm. 🤟🏻❤️
x.cele oh I’m sorry that your in pain. I’m happy it videos helps 🤟
Beautiful Couple Who Truly Listen to And Care to Understand Each Other. They Have a Solid Foundation for Love & Communication. ❤️❤️
I have always wondered does he get scared and if he does how does he react like a scream or a jump?? ❤️Love you guys
hahaha I don't really get scared by anything 😂 love ya too! thanks for the support
I love this channel so much. ❤👏 And it's helped my daughter learn ASL. I learned some English Sign Language when I was 10 because I had read a biography on Helen Keller and I was very fascinated by her and then my brother and best friend learned in Jr. High, so I had a couple of people I could always sign with and then in HS we took ASL together and it's always been this thing I knew with a couple of people, but once I was out of school I completely lost it, so I had some memory but not constant use and I would use it every now and then but it was definitely on the back burner, and then I found this channel (thank you TH-cam) and now it's back in my life and my daughter is learning so I have someone to sign with again, and she loves you guys... and your dog. ❤
Java needs to learn to sign, because she's talking and her hearing parent is ignoring her. She needs to slap dad and sign PARK. NOW. :D
hahahaha!
My uncle is deaf. Because I've loved him since forever...I learned finger spelling at about 3-4 years old. He taught me. I wanted to talk to him sooo badly!
Now as a 37 year old woman, I'm ashamed that I've never mastered sign but I've never lost it either.
I keep in touch with him still. I'm the only niece that can talk semi-fluent with him today. His mother never learned sign. When you love someone.... you'll give your best.
Love your channel.
ryan looks like a mix between paul wesley and mark wahlberg
hahahahaha!
What he looks like is a flirt 😂
I started learning sign language today and you guys inspired me to do it! Your videos made me realize that everybody should know sign language because people in the deaf community shouldn’t have to feel outcasted when they’re around hearing people who don’t know any sign!
,,People meet in bathroom!"
This made me laugh so much 😂
Omg you two are too cute. My best friends sister is deaf and she taught me SO much when I was around 10-14 years old...& about 10 years later - I took 2 years of ASL in college & I can get thru the basics, but yes, body language is SO important to add to your signing- it needs to match what you’re trying to convey! I tried SO HARD to verbalize your finger spelling by looking at it by sounding out every letter to make a word but you both are SO fast! How do some of us get better at trying so hard to sound it out as your finger spelling. I don’t look at every letter, but I try to sound it out as a word as your going along, but dang you kids are fast! ☺️
Here’s a question! I know name signs are personal and have a lot of meaning behind them when given to a person, and that it’s rude for a hearing person to pick their own name sign.
Here’s the question: what do your name signs mean? Ellen, when did you get yours?
If it’s too personal totally fine to ignore!
Watching your videos has encouraged me to try to learn sign language more especially because my uncles and two aunts are deaf.
I was in driver's Ed with someone who was deaf, and they had an interpreter, and I got to thinking about it, and I was wondering how is it like to drive when you're deaf? I can imagine it's kinda scary since you can't hear the cars around you. I was also wondering how do you know when to pull over if there are sirens? It makes sense if it was the sound vibrations, but I'm still curious to know 😊
Also I wanna add this, I just found your guys' channel, and I'm I love, you guys are so wholesome! 😊
I'm not deaf and I'm not the person you asked so I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but I believe deaf people can buy devices that alert them when emergency vehicles are nearby or when other cars honk their horns. There's a video on TH-cam of a deaf person answering questions like these and they also said that deaf people are typically very observant (because they have to rely on their other senses) and so they probably notice more than the average driver. I imagine it would be scary not to be able to hear while you're driving, but based on what I know and my experiences on the road I feel like deaf people might be better drivers than people who can hear lol
pretty sure its better to say interpreter rather than translator :)
@@sarahhearts3353 Thank you! I did not realize that
@@comradedoggo3744 Oh that's actually really interesting I had no idea
Great question! Maybe I'll answer in a future video :)
It’s so interesting to see how different people use asl. I’ve noticed that you two are more English (compared to my experience) than visual/very asl. But I love seeing how different people use the language in an artistic/visual sense, it’s so beautiful to see people play with asl and share their experiences
OoooOoo. A sponsorship. Somebody is moving up.
Awww "Sign Trio" at the end killed me!
So i’m hearing and the little person in my head talks to me right? Well if your deaf does your little person sign or talk to you?
I can hear voices in my head too! I've wore hearing aids before!
@@SignDuoChannel in another video you mentioned that you listen to the TV with volume on. If a sound is loud enough, can you hear it?
Chris S I think for his case now he can feel it more instead of hearing, his senses have been more heightened with a lot of more things such as feel, touch, taste, and his overall awareness with his eye movement. And I think Some TV’s have the option for captions. So I’m sure he uses that to help! But I’m not too sure, he seems to know a lot and deals with it pretty well, I just discovered this channel and I love it already
@@tragedyxxv1150 so what does feeling it mean? Like does he feel the words and know what it means? I don’t understand
@@LxtinDoll well for when he watches TV, if its loud enough he can feel the vibration because deaf people their senses are better than people like us, I just started looking into stuff like this about deaf people, and from what he said previously he wore hearing aids before, so that helped him for sometime , but he chooses not to wear them, when I say feeling it, I mean when he watches TV, and the volume being loud enough it'll vibrate through his ears, Im not too sure on what it does but, he is able to watch TV pretty well it can also be with the help of captions too :)
After many years of watching this channel I have to say there is nothing else quite like it (for me at least). Ryan and Ellem taught me how to sign and I am teaching my 6 kids. Thank you for all that you do!!❤
Has Ryan ever heard Ellen’s real voice? If so what did Ryan think, and was it what Ryan expected? If not is it an option/would you like to hear Ellen’s voice?
how could he hear her voice... if hes deaf....??????
Savannah Davis by science and technology. For example something like temporary hearing aids. Look up videos of people hearing for the first time.
I've learned that deafness, like blindness, usually isn't an all or nothing kind if thing. That's why hearing aids can work. It would really just depend on the individual's unique kind of deafness as to whether they could hear someone's voice with the assistance of technology
👋 to both of you! First off, thank you 😊 I've always loved helping people, and involving people together. I met a deaf guy at a gay bar, and we became good friends. I started picking up on a bit of communication, also loved taking him out of his comfort zone onto the dance floor! I'm really in tune with beat, and music. So I exaggerated my moving to the sound, along with the flashing lights, while holding him. He really enjoyed it. We lost touch when he moved out of state for college, and I lost a lot of what I had learned.
I'm a 34 year old guy from Michigan. I'm in the middle of my next degree, to become a therapist. I'd really like to develop the ability to have deaf clients. So maybe I'll Minor in ASL?! You guys inspire me, partly because I'd really like to meet a deaf boyfriend. So don't be afraid to pass along my info 🤣😂 Oh, I downloaded skill share, I'm gonna see what I can get from it to learn more sign! Thanks again. ✌🤟
Tim
Your relationship is really inspiring, glad I found you guys!
I was wondering though, you sign with both hands, but sometimes, you sign with only one hand and it seems as understandable as with two...?
Sarah O. Well signing one hand is considered lazy. I wouldn’t recommend it. That happens mostly when you are holding something with one hand
For those of us who are learning sign language but hardly know anything yet. It is extremely helpful when she signs and talks at the same time so we can really learn. Because to be honest I have no clue what her boyfriend is saying app all but I could really learn through her that way
Have you guys ever thought about learning how to sign in another language? Just as how I learned how to speak another language?
maybe someday!
y'all are SO cute! You make me smile!!
This is super random but I’ve always wondered this. What does Ryan think your voice sounds like, or more what would he guess it sounds like? Using descriptors of course like high/low pitched, husky/shrill, smooth/rough that kinda thing. Love you guys!
watching this really has helped me learn ASL!! im taking a course in college but its so hard because of covid as well as not enough programs out there to interact with people learning ASL as well as deaf people too. So being exposed to this page truly has helped me along my journey!
when did you realize farts or general noises our body makes were producing sound?
This was awesome. I'm studying German, but I think someday I may want to take a crack at ASL. It's so beautiful to watch.
Idky Java looks like Ryan at times 😂
i agree 100%
omfg this is so sweet. just started teaching myself ASL to talk to a coworker and you two are giving me so much motivation!
Does Ryan have the option to get hearing aids, if so does he even considering to get them? If not can you explain the general understanding about hearing aids, I understand some people have the option to get them but choose not to.
I can, but I don't want to use them :)
@@SignDuoChannel in other words you are happy with who you are. That's really interesting. Thank you for your story and videos.
They have a video out where that topic is discussed by Ryan more indepth.
You guys are great. I really enjoy your videos! Java is so big now! I took ASL in college and I loved it! My sister is now an ASL teacher at a high school and she interprets on the side.
Yo Ryan . This question goes to you. You don't have to answer this question but were u ever bullied or picked on because of your Deafness and if so how did you cope/manage. I asked this question as many people in my high school bully me cos I'm Deaf . Again you don't have to answer as it's quite personal but I'd just thought how other Deaf people coped with rude people in general.
Nathan Murphy I’m sorry to hear this. There’s genuinely no justification in bullying, especially when it’s about an individual’s disability. Those bullies are the kids who will take a while to mature, if ever. I hope you don’t let it get to you!
So ridiculous and lame. Im sorry that happens
Nathan Murphy I am very sorry that you are getting bullied at school because you are deaf. The people who are bullying you are disgusting and I hope they will regret what they’ve done to you when they are older, and if not karma will get back at them. I hope Ryan reads your comment and answers back to you.
Thanks guys for the support. Me and my close support teacher are working a way to show awareness throughout schools
So sorry that happened to you ! I really hope things get better in your school against bullying
New Years resolution is to learn sign language...your channel popped up without even searching. It’s a sign! No pun intended. You guys should do simple phrases or words in asl before the end of each video. Looking forward to watching your guys journey..
Would you ever consider learning a sign language in a different language?
Just a thought it’s probably a lot of work though
maybe someday! :)
You guys truly deserve more subscribers and attention for all your hard work you put into these videos. Trust me, people will catch up soon and it’ll pay off!! Your videos are the only videos I really watch through and i’m interested in. Keep doing what you do, you guys are amazing!
Ella Lynn Hi Ella. Thank you so much! That means a lot to us. We will keep making videos!
