This is a wonderful explanation of ASL for beginners. Actually, level 2 would benefit as well, because they would understand the video and receive a wonderful review (or what SHOULD be a review for them!. Last year I retired from teaching ASL at the high school, got married, and now I'm in Scotland for a while. I still enjoy watching your videos because they're so good, and to not forget ASL (I have no deaf friends here, and besides, British Sign Language is very different).
To me the video was interesting as Joseph discussed the evolution of ASL, and how it shows how man will learn to adapt to survive. I did not know there were different registries for male, female, and black people among others. What was at first puzzling to me was that if you speak English, and ASL then you are bilingual.
thank you and bless u for posting this i have shared it and i have tried to explain the difference and the meanings and i can never explain like u have so again thank you. i have shared this and again i can not thank u enough.
Always so insightful. What I saw you sign towards the beginning was "indigenous signers influenced ASL", what I read on the captions was "brought here". Did I misread or misread?

Knowing some of the history gives me aa better understanding of the culture.

ASL is useful if you have a deaf friend you can talk to them
