Ok
I loved this video because he was still very much learning. I felt I got more out of it because it wasn't perfect. He was more relatable.
Benjamin Jones Agreed!
Totally me right now. The hardest part for me is memorizing the short cuts. I still tend to spell the words.
Agree
Completely agree with you!
Agree
He's so nervous. He's always playing with his ring. My husband used to do that. He was just as nice. I admire him for having the courage to this video, and props to him for learning to sign. :)
Luna Ray Davis for real! he made mistakes but seemed totally fine with that and its great to see that he just cares and put in the effort. and to put it on youtube is so scary, good man he is
I can almost hear his brain overheating
Learning is hard and seeing someone making that effort is great, whatever the language
i love how he was whispering. i don’t know why it made me smile
Lol yeah so sweet 😚
I love how Ashley understands so quickly that a person doesn't know a particular sign, or the correct sign and just calmly shows them the sign.
Wow I love that he learned how to sign in order to communicate with you 🙌🏻 Praise God, what a great man to welcome into your family 🤗
Wow, yes. That's amazing. It's not even his own wife and yet he does that for her. What a wonderful man
That’s is cool of him. Only 2 of us at work learned to sign with our now best friend. It’s been a fun journey to tell the truth.
I am in my first semester of ASL sign and this was so interesting and helpful to see Tyler sign with you Ashley! We beginners are constantly watching proficient signers, making me feel like I can't communicate until I learn everything. By seeing you and Tyler have a conversation, even though he isn't super fluent, makes me feel good about my progress. Plus, you both had to sign slower which helped me to follow the conversation. Thanks for posting :-)
Perfectly said!!! I felt the exact same way 😁. I also loved how she showed signs for the finger spelled words because I learned a few new signs 😁
Exactly! I feel the same way! This was so encouraging!
All you said is exactly what's in my mind!!! ;) You've interpreted perfectly perfect!
Yes! I’ve taken 2 courses and will be moving onto my 3rd but with the pandemic I haven’t had people to sigh with and I forget some even when I practice by myself. I keep feeling that I can’t communicate with a deaf person unless I’m fluent but this shows that people appreciate all communication even when it’s slow and beginner level.
The fact that there was lots of struggle is perfect. Currently learning and it gives me hope that some would be patient enough with me.
This is the cutest video in the world! I love seeing how much Tyler cares about Ash and how much Ash cares about him in return. Like, the love is overflowing!
You’re a good teacher, Ashley. You patiently teach him the signs he doesn’t know. Very nice.
This was so helpful to me in picking up words. Seeing the same words over and over in the conversation and seeing them spelled, repeated, and signed by two different people really made all the difference! It's much more interesting watching a conversation than just trying to memorize individual signs, but most conversations are way too fast for me to understand. Please do more videos of you signing with a beginner!!!
This reminds me when I met my deaf husband for the first time and I had almost no signs! He was so patient teaching me ASL. I fell in love with sign language and married him!
This video made me tear up a little. You have a wonderful family
This is beautiful. I wish it was required in school to learn..
He's adorable, and the two of you are adorable conversing together. Tell your sister to never let him go, or experience the wrath of an angry sister haha.
This is so great!! Rarely do I hear of in laws learning sign language, so this is so inspiring!!!
Such a good job at dictating his "signing" into captions. I particularly love the part where he says deaf 3 times and its even in the captions!❤
Your interview is awesome. I am a 73 year old woman, taking sign language just to learn in case I ever meet a deaf person. I will watch your video over and over again because each time I see it, I learn more. Both of you are wonderful for making this video. Thank you so much!!
I'm a hearing person and I really enjoy learning about the deaf perspective. I'm using TH-cam to pick you up on sign language.
Milan Jackson there’s also a website for learning ASL. I use it all the time. Lifeprint.com
Check out Bill Vicars’ TH-cam channel. He’s a great teacher!
We also speak across to languages in my family, so we do a lot of, "what's the word for ___" and "what does that word mean?" at our dinner table too!
I don't know ASL at all but I studied linguistics and this is absolutely fascinating. For example, at one point Tyler doesn't know your sign for "table" and asks, but then I see him using the sign later in the conversation! To witness him learning and incorporating new signs in real time is so cool - and I feel like I am starting to understand you after watching several videos now!
This was the sweetest video - I absolutely loved it ☺️ it was also very motivating to see your brother-in-law be able to sign 🤗
This is really nice, you're lucky to have each other as chosen family. Learning any language is tough because it feels SO FAST, but getting lots of practice and having patient teachers makes all the difference.
Ashley is so great. I can watch her videos all day. Which I have been lol. It's really helping me learn. Thank you!
So cute, really loved this video!! I totally understand that feeling when so many things you want to say pop in your head but you just overwhelm yourself with not being able to communicate it with your hands.
I love this video! So happy Tyler married your sister Kim, he seems genuinely happy to be a part of your family!
I was deaf until I was 10, and no one attempted to learn to sign or anything.. I never learned. I lived in my own world for my first 10 years. I'm still hard of hearing, but I get by with half of what I hear, and reading their lips to make sense of it.
You are very fortunate to have such a loving & supportive family. It did not turn out great for me. I left school, and home at 15 because I was in the mental handicapped class & beaten and told I was worthless and be better off dead by father. I took to heavy drugs until my 30s and homeless most of that time.
I'm trying to learn to sign because my hearing is going below 15% in my best ear, and I will be deaf again soon.
May God lead you to ppl that love you and embrass you for your uniqueness.
This was the BEST!! I know in the past you've mentioned Tyler and how he picked up signing quickly. What a gift to the family! He has some super patient and loving teachers! ♥️
This is so beautiful. So much love. I end up tearing. Such a beautiful example of people just trying to understand each other. Much love.
I think that is so cool how he learned to sign to communicate with his deaf sister-in-law. I think it was also cool that it was not a big deal to him that she is deaf. He seems to see her as a person first, but that they had to learn to communicate. I think his parallel with having to speak Spanish to Abuela is a good one. However, they are both verbal languages, so I like how he highlighted that he had to learn to communicate differently with eyes and hands instead of mouth and ears. Thanks for these videos. I love how your family works together to understand each other even if it is family sign and not perfect.
These are really great Ash! I’m trying to learn ASL right now and seeing someone who isn’t fluent but is still trying gives me encouragement! These are always my favorite types of videos from you, hope you continue to do more interviews!
thanks for introducing us to Tyler...was looking forward after Kim introduced him to us
I am learning ASL. And your videos have been an absolute blessing to learn from. I truly appreciate how descriptive your videos are!!! Thank you for posting these, please keep making more.
I loved watching this video and getting a glimpse of the Dynamics between your family members. It's endearing how much patience everyone has for one another!
I'm so glad i found this youtube channel...❤❤❤
Wow Ashley!! This is definitely one of my top favorite videos!!! ❤ I obviously love all of your videos but I really love seeing the imperfect signing since I'm learning and not proficient. I'm really thankful to Tyler that he'd be willing to sign on video knowing he makes mistakes. It shows me as a learner that it's possible to be where Tyler is and get to where Kim is with time, patience & practice. Loving this language & diving into learning it really makes me wish I had someone to sign with everyday. But he's right you're so sweet & encouraging which makes all the difference!!! I'm so glad I found you before I met an interpreter who told me that I wouldn't be able to interpret at my church for a long time because it's a lifelong journey and I need to be fluent. Negative people like that can have a neg effect on ppl who want to learn. Anyways.... amazing video thank you for all you do! ❤
you're the sweetest!!! hi!
I broke down my Audio DAC card and I have no sound in my PC. So I thought it was good opportunity to learn something new. That is how I end up in this channel. Great content, love it!
ラヒム旬 ahaha that’s amazing
That was a beautiful conversation! Thank you for sharing with all of us.
The misspelled fingerspelling made me laugh, but in a wholesome way, not a teasing way. Very sweet.
A great brother in law! This was a great interview thank you Ashley! ❤️
This was the sweetest video:D
I love these interviews. They're so amazing.
That hug at the end made me so happy 🤗
awwwww, this is so sweet. Thank you for encouraging hearing people to learn sign language
Brother in law so kind and supportive, it's fantastic to have such amazing family
Loved this! You can tell he's going to be a great signer!
Joining all the people who LOVED this video.
Absolute adore the relationship you guys have.
I admire Tyler for learning a new language and he is doing AMAZING!
It was such a heartwarming video. Gives such loving and positive vibes. ❤️
Love these interviews you've done with your family members ❤
I am falling in love with sign language
It is a beautiful language...so expressive.
Great video!!! Tyler seems like a great member of the family... well you’re whole family looks like just awesome folks ❤️
This is so beautiful. Also adorable at the speed at which you can fingersign and yet slowed it down for him ❤️ you guys are awesome. This is honestly a joy to watch
This video truly made me so happy and shed a tear at work. How beautiful!
So cool to witness Tyler learn new signs and incorporate them later in the conversation. I'm learning too!
Really enjoyed the video. God bless you and your family
Your family interaction videos make me so happy! 😀
Good to see you posting! You're so cute and awesome!
This helps break down the fear many people have when communicating with deaf people without or little sign language. It feels hard and scary and people shut down, which can't happen because then we isolate those people in our society. Very sweet family represented here :)
Great video, loved it. I enjoy when you do interviews or have people learning sign in your videos. Please keep doing them here and instagram :)
What an adorable video, I loved it! Your brother-in-law is such an awesome guy!
Im laying in bed watching all of your videos.. its so hertwarming watching and meeting ur parents and seeing their point of view etc. It makes me so happy and want to start my ASL journey
Not even half way through the video yet, and this put happy tears in my eyes.
I couldn’t sleep and saw this! What a fun video! What an amazing brother in law. I’m starting to practice ASL more consistently and hope to start school again. Pray for me. 🙏🏼 Maybe I’ll be brave enough to post some videos of my own. Can’t wait for more videos. 👍🏼
Ashley, I discovered your channel and YOU yesterday and I just love you from a couple of videos. You are so kind, strong and loving! 🎐💚🙏🏼
I loved this vid. It felt like I was part of the conversation while learning with him.
This is so amazing to watch. I am just now learning how to sign and watching this video just gives me that much more inspiration to learn!
Laughing about the family signs vs the real signs. Reminds me of you correcting your father's signs in other videos. Wonderful video. So appreciate that he wanted to learn to communicate.
I learned so many signs from this video. Member, grade, would, reading, another way to sign like, improving, English, Spanish, etc. Great video, Ashley!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I love this video so much. Thanks to Tyler, I could learn so many more signs through this conversation. Love to your fam, Ashley!
I just came over after watching the video you made with your sisters. That was a fun video to watch, but this one is something really special. Lovely conversation.
You are SOOO patient with his signing, it's great, you can tell he's nervous but trying. I know a handful of people who would just be super rude to a hearing person who's singing was still in major need of practice. Love this. :)
Wow! What a great man to join your family! Kudos to him! They have an adorable friendship
This is really a wonderful video. I can only wish for a sister like you!!!
Really grateful for all of your interview videos! It's a great way to learn outside of a lesson. :)
This is the sweetest video I've seen today.
Thank you so much for doing these signed real life conversation videos! I've consumed many many hours of ASL videos on TH-cam and these videos are by far the best helping me with my reception and expression ASL skills. Your other channel content has also always been very helpful too. 💖💖💖👍👍👍
Lovely guy, lovely video, you make me feel that the world is still a good place or a bad place with some goodness left still! ❤️
Whenever I remember, I keep coming back to this video, 'cause it makes me joyous and emotional at the same time! I'd love to see more people doing this :) It's also a nice way to pick up signs, I'm studying to become an interpreter in Finnish Sign Language but now I've noticed that I'm able to learn signs from ASL without mixing them with FSL so this is nice! :)
Omg she’s so smart I’ve never seen someone like her
So sweet that you prayed for Tyler to be your brother in law ❤️
Great video! In the past year, I've taught myself how to sign using a lot of your videos because I wanted to better communicate with my friend who is deaf. The best part of my day is hanging out with him because he teaches me new things to sign and is very patient with me. I think everyone should learn sign language. Start by learning the alphabet in sign and then go from there.
I'm very glad I came across your videos. You're a great teacher and I love the relationship you have with your family. You have very kind eyes too. : )
Keep posting your videos. : )
Your videos are such a blessing...I pray God opens up a door so I can learn sign an be able to able to help spread the Gospel..such a fan..God bless you guys!!!
I really enjoyed this video for so many reasons.
1) As a language learner of Spanish and a teacher of ESL for many years, I appreciate both of your patience with each other as you negotiate for meaning to understand each other. It makes all the difference when the learner feels supported and comfortable.
2) I am newly married to my Honduran husband, whose immediate family knows little English. I also appreciate my husband being able to help interpret conversations for me, and I appreciate my sister in law trying to use her limited English to communicate. I can relate!
3) I’m trying to find more videos to learn sign language and understand the culture more. I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Awe Ingot teary eyed when he said maybe I wouldn't have been so blessed with a different sister 😭
This was the sweetest video I’ve ever watched. I’ve been learning asl for years now (self taught or online courses) and it can be challenging but it’s so worth it. I find interpreting what others sign the most challenging. I hope to become better soon. 😂
What a lovely video! You two (I'm sure your family too) are so amazing people. I'm hearing from Japan and I've been learning ASL from Signed with heart, it's been about a month. I'm so grateful that I got to know the great platform Signed with heart handled by people like Ashley!
Wow! Respect for the brother in law! I learned sign language when i was ten years old. must be way harder for an adult. great vid again!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO! I love that he is willing to learn and that he is trying! I love the realness (if thats a word) of this video
You people are really great.
You're so so so sweet 💓
Dude, who's cutting onions?
I'm trying to watch this wholesome video and learn something!🥺
It's too beautiful!😭
Thank you so much for this video conversation. I support an individual who is deaf and do not have access to asl education where I live so I am trying to learn on my own. It's been very challenging so I appreciate your videos. In fact your introduction to asl videos are what I encourage my new staff members to watch. The conversation format seem to be the most helpful.
Wow! Is all I can say! I’m taking a few asl classes in college this semester! Your videos really help me to understand new signs. But also your videos help me to see how Normal conversation would go between a deaf and a hearing person. Im hearing myself. I so badly wanted to reach out to the deaf community so I could talk to people. And get some practice. But unfortunately I still have not because I am very reluctant. I’m reluctant because I know how important American Sign Language is to the deaf community, and I wouldn’t at all want to offend someone or sign the wrong sign. Seeing you sign to a hearing person, with a very positive and open attitude really has given me a confidence boost to hopefully have a full conversation with a deaf person. I know that if I do decided to reach out to the deaf community that not everyone will be like you. But it does give me hope!
Wow what an amazing guy. Some people would not have bothered. Amazing.
I Love your content! I love the fact that you mentioned Peohes so I get to appreciate that we’re neighbors as well!
I exercise on the island so Hopefully I will run into you or your family!
This takes wholesome to another level
This is awesome, so nice, sweet. Hes seems so nice. Baby looks like him
Amazing.and by the way,you speak very clear for being deaf.God bless sis.i will be watching more of videos daily for my son who is not talking right now.cant with to hold a conversation with him like you guys
You have really a sweet brother in law. i am happy too that my sister in law sign for me too. praise the lord! :)
wow you are SO patient with helping others communicate properly with you. Is this a normal thing that most deaf people have learned to adapt to (having to help people communicate with you) or are you just an especially patient person? I have had 4 college level classes for ASL (like 10 years ago) and I can remember most of the vocabulary if I needed to sign it, but oh my goodness if someone else is trying to sign TO me I have to process the signs one word at a time. That is really hard, even for someone who knows a lot of the signs. Watching these videos is amazing practice and when you stop and offer the other person the correct sign that also is a nice refresher for the correct sign.
