    THANK YOU the signing with voice over is much better. I can turn the volume off and work on developing my receptive skills. Please keep it :)

      ***** I have done all the rest of my videos after this with signing and voice over so glad you like it. :)

    I like when you talk, sign, and CC all together. But I am a hearing person and would rather you do whatever is best for others.

    I'm learning ASL and I've been using your videos for practice. I then the volume off since I'm HoH and I watch your videos twice. once with no cc to try to see if I can understand what you're signing and then I watch it again with cc learning words I couldn't figure out. bonus that I love your videos and think you girls are so cute together. I just wish there was a way to slow the speed of TH-cam videos. thanks for everything!!!

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Julie Jones Haha sorry you can't slow down the videos. I'm glad we are able to provide practice for you. Keep up the hard work!

      These are great videos. Watching from Europe.
      By the way, videos can now be slowed down. Isn't that just wonderful? :)

    I am not hearing impaired, but I have been interested in learning ASL for some time. For the past 5 years I have taught my kindergarten students 26 words from our alphabet chart from apple to zipper, and some other words like focus and bathroom. It's not part of the curriculum, but I think it will increase their sensitivity to the hearing impaired while also increasing their cognition.

    A little tip for new ASL learners: it's helpful to learn basic BSL too cuz every now and again a few BSL signs like 'I don't know' get mixed into ASL signing and it's good to still know what's being said

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Interesting, never thought of that.

  • @Bowie5386
    @Bowie5386 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am hearing and I am learning ASL for various reasons. I think having you sign with CC is most helpful for me. I mute the sound so I didn't even know you had a voice over. It's a good immersion into visual, whether it be signs or words. I know other people learn differently than I do, so I definitely can't speak for others, but my vote is for signing and CC.

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Bowie5386 Well I now just provide all 3, voice, sign, and CC. Then people can choose how they want to watch. Thank you for your input! :)

  • @jscottcalder
    @jscottcalder 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Signing and talking at the same time is neither English or ASL. Both languages suffer. A true student of ASL would definately prefer no voice. Turn off the volume and watch. What you missed you can review with the voice interpretation later.

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      [Jill] Correct taking and signing at the same time, Sim Com, is not either language. Yes, we have changed to all sign and have voice-over now. Much better overall.

    This video is a godsend. I am studying Psychology and in particular language and signing. My course doesn't explain the difference between arbitrary and iconic and internet search was super involved. Thanks for simple and easy to follow definition.

    • @TheStews

    When there is people I don't have to turn up the volume or read the CC because you sign :)

    First I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your ASL videos! I took ASL 1 & 2 10 years ago when my first child was a baby. Then life got busy and continuing on through college wasn't an option. I still like to keep my skills fresh through TH-cam, but searches usually produce signing-only videos, or students signing very basic ASL....until now, when I found your videos. I learned the term "voicing" last week and that changed what content showed up in a search.
    Since you are asking, I'd love to share my opinion on how I prefer to watch your videos. I do like it when you sign more. I like the videos with Jenna the best because you are talking to her (and us) while signing. You tend to speak and sign the same words at the same time in those videos. The voice-over videos are great also, but the words don't always match up as well as when you're speaking directly to us, so I pick up on fewer new words. Thanks for all you are doing!!!

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kelly DuLong So happy that you found my videos! Please let me know what things you would like to see. :)

  • @thinkitmakeit4

    i much, much prefer you signing. Your videos and signing are crystal clear and easy for everyone to follow along. Also, thank you for this specific topic!!! You've been so helpful. Wonderful ASL!

    • @TheStews

  • @Yomasonicyou
    @Yomasonicyou 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think you should be signing, not speaking. After all, this channel is about ASL. And it helps me improve:)

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your feedback. I have definitely changed around the channel to better represent ASL. Hope you enjoy it more now. :)

  • @xxshevilxx
    @xxshevilxx 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your signing like you are is exactly why I started watching your channel. It give me the opportunity so see ASL used conversationally. It's fun that I'm able to pick up as much as I am already. :)

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      [Jill] That's great you are picking up some sign language. :)

  • @blueribbonash
    @blueribbonash 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I may be wrong, but I associate the sign for apple with the "apples of your cheek". The sign for good I associate with confirmation coming straight from the mouth (like a source of goodness/agreeing that something is good).
    This is just me and how I understand ASL. Could be totally off and that's a-okay. Ty for your videos, very appreciative of them.

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      [Jill] That makes total sense. Good way to remember things. So glad you like the videos.

  • @DanielVieu
    @DanielVieu 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think leaving out the issue of CL leaves this video wanting. I would have liked to see you mention the difference between iconic signs and classifiers.

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Daniel Vieu Thank you for the feedback. Maybe I can do a video about that later.

    This video was so cool. I'm still catching up on all your vids, but yes I prefer you sign and voice because it's, well, it was the real reason I started watching your vids. That originally caught my attention and it's working. Especially, the receptive skills, so thx for that. So now though, I'm just hooked on your vids, whether you sign/voice or not or not sign at all, ha. I think you guys are cool peeps, and sometimes comical. I live in PR and in ten years here I've only met two deaf persons and that was just recently. Anyways thx again Stews.

    • @TheStews

  • @mocollings
    @mocollings 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is an older video, but you asked for peoples opinions. I am hearing and your voice has become very familiar to me but I am also hard of hearing so reading your lips as you are talking takes away from some of the signing lessons. I gain more from the voice overs though I do enjoy both. Does that even help?
    Thanks, Mollie

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      mocollings Yes I understand. It seems the voice-over with signing is what most people like.

  • @tnoble711
    @tnoble711 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    okay jill thanks as always; i am currently doing a lil late night study with your videos and i have a question. k so ASL is not like SEE okay so is there ever a scenario where an interpreter will interpret what another interpreter is saying to the hearing person and if so how exactly is that done?

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Travis, if i understand correctly, then yes that could happen. I have seen where a Deaf person was presenting and there were two interpreters. One would voice for the Deaf presenter, and the other would sign what the voicing interpreter was saying. This was a request by the presenter to make sure that the voice interpreter was accurate (without having to read lips). From my experience that is not common but can happen. Hope that answers your question.

    I have been attending a basic ASL class in college this semester, I am hearing but want to learn ASL since my major is Hearing Instrument Specialist. Thank you for posting this video, it was very helpful in understanding the difference between Arbitrary and Iconic signs. I am now a subscriber and eager to watch and learn more from you!

    Do you sign with PSE or ASL in these types of videos?

    • @TheStews
      @TheStews  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Megan Beard I tend to sign more PSE but I incorporate ASL as much as I can.

    • @kristenscarff7357
      @kristenscarff7357 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +ASL Stew So what exactly is the difference between PSE SEE & ASL? I've taken SEE classes and use that to communicate with individuals who are hearing but non verbal. But im not entirely sure what PSE is
