Awe! That was such a nice video. It’s so great to know your story! Youre so right. Language is always changing and we’ll always be learning. I hope you all the best! ☺️🤟💕
I’ve loved sign since I was about the same age- 6- my dad knew one phrase “I love you” and taught it to me then- I was instantly hooked and wanted to learn more- took courses throughout my life- sign courses 1-3, became involved in deaf community, and created great friendships - I follow other couples (hearing/deaf couples) and I wanted to thank you for being so clear in your signs- I find other hearing people using “lazy signing” (as my deaf friends would call it lol), like signing very loosely, sign “because” at their chest level etc- I realize every person is different - but because you are an interpreter I think this is why you are more exact - just enjoy watching you so much!! ♥️♥️ I did baby sign with my kids - - my son had water in his ears and couldn’t hear (hard of hearing) until he had that fixed - so it ended up being my kids first language- they didn’t have any tantrums because they could clearly tell me what they needed before they could talk. My son still signs with me today, my daughter not so much lol, but love how we can talk across a room or if one of us is inside a building and the other is outside - it’s just a beautiful language and can’t get enough ♥️ sorry for the novel- love following you guys 🤗🤗
I loved this video!! Thank you for sharing your journey, I am in college studying to become an interpreter and I definitely needed to hear all of what you had to say! Great advice! You have such a great attitude & beautiful personality Courtney! I wish you the best of luck in your future! 🤗🤟💕
It’s so adorable watching you start to sign different parts when you’re talking about the culture/your experiences 🙏🏼💜
Loved hearing about your journey to learn ASL! Recently I have been giving a lot of serious thought to becoming a qualified interpreter. I also doubt myself and compare myself to others but I need to remember not to be discouraged and just try to learn from others' strengths like you said. Thanks for sharing! 😁
Very good video.. In 1985, I went to CSUN. I wanted to apply for ASL, but because of my handicap, (my right hand not moving a lot), they refused me.I would have loved to do that, butsince after my 2 cerebral haemmorhages at the age of 5 in 1969, I can do only do "so much", but as I told you earlier, I now volunteer in Israel with deaf/mute/blind adults. Good luck. I will be waiting for other videos of you and your husband. David Barban
I just started watching your videos a couple days ago and I haven’t stopped !! I started trying to learn ASL and I think I’m going to take classes at community because it’s just so interesting. I love the language and I really want to learn more about it. Keep making videos !! 🤍
This video was so inspiring ❤️ I’m working to transfer to csun for the interpreter training program and at times I feel super discouraged and doubtful if I can make it but this video was super amazing!! Ps, I love your guys channel!
I love your love for education and learning, very inspiring!
This really inspired me to get back into BSL 2! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for making this! I'm a second year in NTID's interpreting program and its a very hard process, but this was great to hear!
This video just really helped my confidence! I have been struggling because I recently received my VA state qualification performance exam results and I did not pass because of the sign to voice section. I definitely have been feeling like I am not good enough and I am never going to be an interpreter. In the interpreting program, I went through we have not really had much real life interpreting experience and I feel like I am always shy when trying to interact with the Deaf Community, mainly why my sign to voice was my weakness on the exam. Basically it has been a struggle to keep moving forward in my process of improving my skills and re taking the performance exam for a better score. I absolutely love signing and I know I want to become an interpreter; it has just been a tough run.
thanks so much for the video Courtney!! it is SUPER helpful! And thanks for being so sweet about the Instagram messages, you guys are awesome :)
Hi Courtney! Wow, this video really helped me. I am just beginning my journey and I'm 56 yrs old. I'm the oldest person in my ASL 115 class at San Diego City College, but I love it. This is my 4th language I'm learning (in order of learning, English, Spanish, Italian) and I'm interested in becoming an interpreter. The only thing you didn't mention in this video is how many years it took you, but because you kind of didn't go straight through, I kind of think that doesn't matter.
This is Awesome! A fellow terp!! Cali must have sooo many resources. I hear their Deaf Community is pretty big. I live in Cincinnati and ours is pretty small and not as connected unfortunately. I love our field🤟🏽❤️
So great to see your (successful) story. Im 4 classes away from applying to the IPP at my community college and I feel like I’m still so behind. But I know many people feel this way and really my signing and understanding is probably up to par, I can’t imagine actually interpreting for someone! So glad you are loving your work and journey.
okay this was perfect! I want to be an interpreter so seeing this from one of my favorite youtuber's is SUPER helpful! you're great and I love the advice!! thank youuu! 💕
I've been looking for events in the SoCal area to attend and have found some but the Deaf Studies Retreat you mentioned sounds great. It's similar to an East coast event I used to go to. I'm sad I missed it for this year! I will definitely be there next year. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience! As an interpreting student it’s so nice to hear other peoples experience . I’m currently at community college, with 2 semesters left and I’ll be off to CSUN. Cole is actually my interpreting professor and my boyfriends twin! My boyfriend is Deaf as well, so your videos are very personal for me :)
So happy for you and also the journey
