    Let me start off by saying how much I admire your videos and relationship! ❤ Just found your channel and have been binging your videos. Nee subscriber!🌸 My mother had a deaf friend when she was young so she learned sign language so that they could more easily communicate. She said that it was like their secret language in school..(they were in elementary school). My mom found that this was life changing for her and taught me sign language when I was young. We would regularly communicate this way so that it stayed fresh in my head and I was able to practice. I actually picked up on it fast and loved it as a child almost as much as I do now. ❤ I have been able to use this knowledge to help at work. If someone needs translation between asl and speaking then I can help them to understand each other and that makes me happy. I have a one year old daughter now and I have taught her to express basic needs through sign and am planning to continue to teach her all that I know. I want her to be able to help others but my main goal is to give her the opportunity to understand and communicate for herself...so that if she is so lucky to have a friend like my mom had, or a partner then she will instantly be able to communicate and strengthen that bond!! ❤ Sorry for the long comment but I feel very deeply about this and am so happy to have found your channel!❤❤❤

    That last question made me laugh. One time I was sitting in my 5th grade class just messing with my hands and I noticed the sign language interpreter was talking about me because her and the student were looking at me and laughing. Turns out she was saying “wow, Danielle must be very comfortable” because I apparently kept signing comfortable over and over again without knowing it. Lol 😂 but now I’ll never forget what the sign for comfortable is!

    The answer Ellen gave at 1:47 is soooo spot on. I'm learning ASL, and Ellen speaking while signing helps my vocabulary lots for exactly the reason she described. But then having Ryan in between is a great way to test my skills, like they said. AND I like watching each answer Ryan gives once without captions and once with, so I appreciate that the captions are optional. She described how I utilize the videos so accurately it's like she's reading my mind 😂 love the videos!

    I rarely see a hearing and deaf couple mainly because of the language barrier. But it is truly amazing to see you two make it work no matter the differences. My parents (who are deaf and I am hearing) said that it would be so hard for them to date a hearing person.

      Wow that's amazing usually when two deaf people have a child, that child is also deaf. How did they go about teaching you how to speak, and sign if they cannot speak themselves. Or do they speak? I hope you're not offended by that question. I know sign language and am hearing, I just really wondered what that was like for you.

    I just found your channel because your "Would You Still Be Together if She Didn't Sign" video was recommended to me a few days ago. I found myself coming back today and binging your other videos.
    I think that original video stuck with me because it was touching to see that Ellen knew so much and read articles about deaf and hearing relationships. And as I watched your other videos today, I saw the care and love went both ways like Ryan worked on a frickin house for Ellen, and just ahhh you're so supportive of one another!
    I was honestly surprised to learn that you guys are only 21 or something, because I feel like your empathy and connection and understanding for one another are just so ahead of other people your age. Trust me, I'm 18 and my friends still get hung up on like "oh no, my Tinder date left me on seen!! what is the meaning of this??" Your relationship seems stronger than most hearing-hearing couples I know because you guys truly try to understand each other. I'm just really inspired by you guys like even the way you look at one another is adorable, and I love seeing love, and what you guys have is beautiful :) Subscribed, and followed on instagram too!
    P.S. last thing, you're both super pretty/handsome too

    I once read a story about a deaf man going into a restaurant and the waitress noticed that he was reading the menu to himself and signing some of the things to himself. She knew some sign language and went to his table to take his order and the man was super gracious that someone there knew how to sign. Ever since reading that, I've been trying to learn sign language just from TH-cam videos and I love it. I also prefer it because I hate the sound of my own voice haha.. Your videos are SUPER helpful with the subtitles below and I learn so much from you guys. Thanks!

    when my dad was growing up one of his friends parents were deaf so when he went over there they would sign and he picked it up, and his friend taught him too. One day my dad was showing me some signs and i just had this wave of realization of how much respect i have for the deaf community, or just people who sign in general because i could never do it😂😂

    I don’t know if any other hearing people who don’t know ASL have experienced this but ever since I’ve watched your videos I’ve started gesturing way more irl. it’s almost as if I want to communicate through ASL but can’t so I’m using hand gestures to compensate? I don’t even know, but I love how visual ASL is, and your videos are helping me learn a lot more!

      I'm learning ASL and lately I find myself having to hold back from signing when I'm speaking with hearing people, so I just move my hands around in gestures like some hearing people do instead. Even when I'm thinking, I often imagine I'm signing along with my 'inner voice'.

    Man, I love you guys so much! What's amazing about your relationship is that you can see when one person speaks (signs) the other person is listening (watching) attentively. So many people in relationships (or in generally really) just talk at each other and the person "listening" can't wait to interrupt or get their two cents in. But with you guys you can really tell that you're active listeners. It's slightly ironic yet amazing, and is probably one of the many reasons you work so well together! Just something I've picked up on after watching some of your videos!

    My husband and I found you guys just a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying your videos. My son is dating a girl who is deaf. She uses her voice, has hearing aids and lip-reads, but I realize after watching your videos that she may be missing a fair amount of the conversation. I've lived in foreign countries where I didn't speak the language well, so I'd just fake it that I knew what everyone was saying. It was very isolating. I'll be more mindful of that now when talking with her. My husband and I started learning ASL because we want to communicate better with her , but also because her parents and extended family are mostly deaf or hard of hearing and ASL is their primary language at home. I also notice that she struggles more with using her voice later in the day when she's tired. It would be nice if we knew enough ASL that she didn't have to work so hard for us to understand. And of course now...with everyone wearing masks in public, being able to sign seems vital.
    Before I even saw this video, I was thinking that I like how you use your voice and sign at the same time because I can watch your hands instead of the captions and I'm absorbing a lot more vocabulary that way. Thank you for your videos. I feel more prepared and less likely to accidentally say or do something rude when I meet her parents and extended family.

    • @SignDuoChannel
      @SignDuoChannel  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi :) props to you for learning more about ASL and the dynamics between Deaf and Hearing. I’m glad our videos could be of help 😊 From what I’ve learned, Deaf fatigue is a very real thing, which is when a Deaf person gets tired from keeping up with conversation. Through my experience people who learn another’s language tend to foster a better relationship, so sounds like your on the start to a great relationship 😊

    I love that you speak and sign at the same time because I can associate the signs with the words you are speaking. On sign only channels I can't really watch the person speaking because my eyes are on the words at the bottom of the screen rather than on them. When Ryan speaks I read the words and then back the video up so I can watch him after I know what he is saying, which isn't an issue but speaking deff helps for someone learning.

    I totally agree with you Ellen (Hi! New watcher here!) I use your voice and signing as a study tool. It's so helpful as a hearing person to watch, listen and connect the two. You guys inspired me to learn signing, I struggle with my hearing and find myself gesturing naturally however signing is opening up a completely new world for me and developing my ability to communicate.
    After seeing you guys drive through the drive-thru, and the way that Ryan was treated - it made me commit to learning to sign, I hope that whenever I meet someone deaf I can help them to feel included. Many thanks! Bless the both of you!
