Hello ASL Heroes!!!
Hey, I could really use your help.
If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you. A small donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com.
You can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here right now and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!”

Bill Vicars this sounds interesting specially because I would like to become a sign language interpreter
Teacher Good Morning. teacher.
Dr Bill, I enjoy your videos so much thank you for posting them on CZcams and all the content you have on lifeprint.com...I want to be an ASL interpreter but cant afford school right now ...you're awesome and I've learned so much and when I am able to go classes will be easier than if I didn't go thru your classes. Thank you again
Beth from Ca
Beth, best wishes to you in your endeavors.
@@betho8736 good luck
This guy is hilarious 🤣. He's such a fun teacher!
She's excellent and has an eye for the camera! It's so clear how she signs and to me it's very helpful how she let's us see her learning process as well
I noticed that too. She'll be just as big a help as Mr Bill... My like 3rd day at it and Iv learned so much. This young lady has me going back cuz He's so fast with Her. I'm like Dr Checks a little behind!🤭🤪
She’s really good and engaged. Dr. Bill is a great teacher. Love these videos.
I love everyone who lives in a quiet world.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I KNOW FINALLY BELIEVE I CAN MAKE THE STEP AND REALLY LEARN AS AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAF COMMUNITY
Tip for you David: ALL CAPS is considered "yelling." Personally I don't mind, I'm Deaf, (heh) but the hearing folks on this board might. Best wishes to you.
These tutorials are wonderful for me to remind myself of the signs, and usage of them. I haven’t signed in years. I enjoy these tutorials. Thanks Dr. Bill!
Wow, claps* gives credit to Cassie! She impressioned me when she make expression with signs... Gives thumb up to this video!
A teacher who enjoys his job!!!
LOL this video cracks me up for million reasons. The golden is when the students don't respond to your humors, which i dont expect them to! Hahaha
Dang, Cassie's good. I would be terrible at doing this in front of people, haha. That's why I'm learning from the safety of my computer!
It gets easier to do I'm sure. I'm a musician and the stage and SL an all well, Iv never had stage fright like ever..? Sure erbody gets nervous now an then or at start? Maybe IDK what I'm talking about. I'm way better on the drums than signing. It's my 3rd day at this... Iv to rewind this one on occasion but it'll come.... #loveisthenewtrend

Great teaching method! Thank you
I really enjoyed this episode... This guy made it fun...✌🏾💯
This is amazing. Thank you.
I taught kindergarten years ago. Long story in short version...I was coming from teaching third grade and had an ABC game that I called "Lucky Letter" planned. My ABC game/lesson was waaaayyyy too quick, so I had nothing to do until recess... I decided to teach them the manual alphabet as part of the game. I did that every day for a long time and eventually found a Sesame Street ASL Sign book. Next thing you know, we were learning signs for every letter. We played ABC Bingo and I'd not show them what letter I pulled, I'd show a sign word and make them guess the letter. Oh my goodness, did they ever start learning! It evolved into many different types of learning opportunities (even math! because we kept a tally count of Sign words that they were learning). We would learn books in Sign and match the written words to the signs. We would learn about animal signs and got together with local Louisiana School for the Deaf kids to play bingo, go on field trips to the Zoo and try to catch a Leprechaun ( not all in the same visit!!!) Anyway, it was an amazing experience and an EASY way to teach kids of all ability levels something new. I would love to learn more "initialized Signs" because that puts the alphabet letter in their hand and in the word and teaches them the phoneme. I know ASL community isn't big on Signed English or Initialized signs, but it is an amazing way to teach hearing kids to read and also to learn about and respect deaf kids who have the amazing ability to communicate totally in a beautiful language. I wish I could take all of the amazing learning opportunities that the kids thought were just fun games and teach other teachers to incorporate into their curriculum. If you know of a list of sign words that incorporate the letter in the Sign, I'd love to learn them. Example F' family, t. team type of signs. Thanks! Laurie Laville lavilles@bellsouth.net
Lauriel,
See the content at this link and then scroll down toward the bottom:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/initialization.htm
There you will see a list of initialized signs.
The list is far from complete. It is mainly to show that there are a substantial number of initialized signs used in everyday life.
The Deaf community has gravitated toward non-initialized versions of some of the initialized signs in the list but most in that list are still done with initials as of 2023.
You seem to be indicating a desire to teach other teachers to use ASL in their curriculum.
That can become problematic quickly if you are not "actually" fluent and don't have authentic / direct Deaf community representation or involvement in your endeavors.
I encourage you to partner up with a local Deaf person who is skilled in ASL.
If your signing skills are such that you would feel any hesitancy regarding meeting up with one or more Deaf people in person and having a (signed) conversation -- that is a strong indicator that you should be hesitant to start attempting to teach (any form of) ASL to other Hearing teachers.
I recommend you do some searches regarding the topic of "cultural appropriation" and "Hearing people teaching ASL" so as to familiarize yourself with some of the deeper issues if you plan on wading into these particular waters.
Don't misunderstand me. I personally wish ASL were taught in every elementary school in the world -- and to do that would require a massive number of additional ASL teachers both Hearing and Deaf teachers to make it possible.
Society isn't there yet.
Thank you very much.
Learned so much !! Thankyou !
I learned so much from this. I find it very fast, but that's what stop and rewind are for! Thank you!
I watch at .5 or .75 speed. But yes, rewinding is also helpful.
You can actually change to playback speed where the 3 little dots are.
Happy New Year!
I realized that she is still improve to learn ASL class that is good for her
Yay! After I finished this video, I finished the ASL 1 curriculum on ASLU. Thank you, Dr Vicars, for providing this resource!
I do have one question. When do you use for-for vs why? They seem somewhat interchangeable. So i was wondering how you decide which to use.
honestly, she is so pretty
she is hot yeah
Really like watching his videos. I have picked up a lot but my problem is retaining the knowledge and also the nouns.. Same as when I was trying to learn spanish in highschool. Just need to stick with it.
this is very useful and I learned a lot today, thanks to u😂 you should make more of these videos KEEP GOING :)
In case you haven't seen it yet, here is the official ASLU CZcams master playlist:
czcams.com/play/PL6akqFwEeSpiLwRFA3ZvuOWMwPXwI7NqA.html
There you will find several hundred more videos like this one.
Thank you
woooowww this video is so easy for me to learn from
My friends and I are gonna be the weird obnoxious people in the back of the class talking crap about everyone...
much better video thank you. I caught nearly all the finger spelling--- so YOUR is that done with a B hand (thumb tucked in)?
The sign YOUR is generally done with a simple "flat" hand with the palm pointed at the other person. So, no, I wouldn't advise tucking the thumb in. The thumb in the sign YOUR tends to be be "along side" or sticking out a bit. See: czcams.com/video/J5cjDBY1QU0/video.html
Hello Bill! I've been watching your videos for a while. I'm learning sign language because I want to communicate with the deaf community and I want to be a translator. I really appreciate your videos. They're awesome, love the format. Okay now my question. I was wondering if your students are deaf or hearing?
My students are Hearing. Once in a while I have one of my friends (Deaf) visit but that is rare. For example I've got some Deaf friends in one or more of the camping-related sign language videos. Plus I've got a (Deaf) friend in the Settlers of Catan video.
HI BILL
my name is jessica and i was raised with very little sign language and it was CSL or cherekee signlanguage. i was separated from my oldest son jacob when he was 10 he learned ASL in his school what would you say is the best way for me to re-learn so we can communicate better
First, Thank you for allowing us to learn thru your you tube channel and I encourage everyone to watch ads at beginning... My question is, just having my fingers straightened from my Rheumatoid Arthritis, it is difficult to position fingers exactly as needed for some signing. ie: letter "R" my first finger can lay on top of second finger, but not under it. Is there any leeway in this area? (or do I need to just stay away from Resume, Richard, Robert and Rebecca's) lol
One of my kids doesn't have any knuckles. (Not kidding, it's called Aperts syndrome). She just does the best she can. Really, that's all any of us can do. So, yah, there is leeway. Some folks will be rude regardless. The trick is to move on and find the easy-going conversation partners who will like you for who you are.
I live in a small town (Winnemucca) and never heard of Aperts, so I did some research, Bless her heart. I bet her growing up with your patience and personality she is a strong and amazing woman.
Hi! I have a question, when should i differentiate between the two signs for 'sign'? One is the often used two hands, both with pointer fingers extended, in a vertical loop. The other is both hands in S handshape palm faced upwards, quickly opening and then returning to S shape.
I cover the two different signs for "sign" over at: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/s/sign.htm
oh awesome! thanks, lifeprint is always surprising me with how much information it has!
Awesome name. My daughters name is Cassie.
Nice Meet Cassie
Her expressions are cute.
25:24 I had to rewatch that because I thought you said you took a baby and ate it while it cried.
Not yet, no. I would remember.
3:43 that sure does explain the bright light I saw all those years ago under my rock. on a serious note though, I notice that Cassie sometimes mouths the words and you do not. which should I follow? your example or the student/assistants?
Hmmm... should you follow the example of the Deaf person with a doctorate in Deaf education and many years of ASL teaching experience or should you follow his Hearing student? Think on it some more and see if the answer comes to your mind.
A different issue here is that you are attempting to use absolutes here when the reality is I don't always not-mouth nor do I always mouth.
The fact is some concepts are commonly mouthed in certain situations and/or use a mouth morpheme while others are not. Also some (so called) experts may tell you to never mouth whole words but they recommend using mouth morphemes. I recommend you take with a grain of salt the advice of people who discuss language in extremes.
Now, for the answer to your question go to my website and read:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/mouthing-in-asl.htm
Then see: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/mouthinginasl.htm
And also:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/mouthinginasl2.htm
So I get why he isn't using sound in his videos but for the hearing it really threw me off. I thought my sound on my phone stopped working
Good morning, Bill, how are you? I am very willing to learn from ASL I also have the desire to learn communication for the deaf. Thanks, Yara
Yara,
Best wishes to you in your education and life endeavors!
This is very good I am not seeing how you sign "from and from where," thanks for videos
FROM = do the sign for "from"
FROM-where? = do the sign for "from" while furrowing your eyebrows.
FROM WHERE? = Do the sign FROM and do the sign ?WHERE.
The point is that you can replace the sign WHERE in the phrase "Where are you from?" -- by furrowing your eyebrows while signing FROM.
@@sign-language tks much
I have a question...
I am left hand dominant, but I have a deformed middle finger on my left hand that makes it impossible for me to cross my middle finger over my index finger to form the R hand shape for finger spelling, retirement, restaurant, right, ready etc. Any suggestions so that when I sign, people will not get confused. My R and my U are identical
You could either switch dominance or you could just "do the best you can with what you have."
Or you could cross your index over your middle (instead of your middle finger crossed over the index). That is a "little" different looking but not overly distracting.

Mucho para aprender 😱😱😱
he's funny
There are areas in Iowa/Illinois that DO NOT sign pizza like what you have shown.
Pizza is one of the most varied signs.
I've got about seven versions listed over on my website. If how y'all do it in Iowa / Illinois isn't listed there feel free to describe the local version to me so I can look for it online and add it to the list. (If you feel like doing so.)

👍
Awww My daughter's name is Cassie...
👍🏼
Is there closed captioning or a transcript to help me through the videos a step at a time?
Maybe someday I'll add captions but for now the "text assistance" is on the slides and occasional typed information on the monitor behind us. If you are not understanding the conversation you are encouraged to first study Lessons 1 through 60 (and use the Lifeprint.com website as necessary for additional clarification and review).
Why haven't I added captions? Because it takes around an hour to caption 10 minutes of video. That means I could either create six instructional videos without captions or 1 with captions in the same amount of time.
I'm not saying that captions are not a great idea. (Besides the obvious benefits, captioning is also becoming more and more important for search functions.)
I'm just saying that for now the priority is creation of new videos.
Thanks.
@@sign-language thank you. Will do!
put sunglasses and a pork pie hat on Dr Bill & >>>> instant Heisenberg!
Yah, and now here I am in witness protection masquerading as an ASL teacher!
Clever disguise yes?
*Watching video and catches a glimpse of my reflection* *Stops paying attention to the video and starts styling hair* Oops 😂😂
Oh hey, totally understandable.
If you were to try my hair style you wouldn't have that problem.
;-)
great vids!!! Too fast for me though 😔💁🏻♀️
You may wish to choose an easier lesson. See:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/lessons/lessons.htm
So for "How many uncles do you have" You don't need the verb Have in there?
The sign "HAVE" is not needed for things that are obvious.
UNCLE YOU how-MANY? -- is fine.
@@sign-language Thank you
I LIKE THIS GUY. BUT FOR SOME REASON IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO HEAR. I AM TEACHING MY 19 MONTH OLD SIGN, SHE WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH SOMETHING LAST WEEK, AND I THOUGHT, GOOD THING I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TEACHING HER. WELL, CZcams TEACHING HER REALLY. SHE DOESN'T SPEAK, BUT I NEED TO LEARN TOO. IDK, MAYBE HE IS DOING THIS FOR PEOPLE TO GET USE TO THE SILENCE. NOT SURE. BUT IT IS HARD FOR ME, SOMEONE WHO CAN HEAR TO LEARN THE SIGN WITHOUT SOUND.
you can enable subtitles in most videos if you need the extra translation. i personally find the silence helps me focus better on what's being signed, and i noticed that what i can't understand is exactly what the student has trouble with at a specific time. the concept gets repeated slowly and i have time to understand it, or pause and repeat.
dr. Bill Vicar
she needs to show a drama like an expensive body language
Wh- some question
a different little action - narrative asl
learning America language
how many ? child or children how many? sister , brother , mom or mother or dad or father
learning it carefully body language Wh? it exact a meaning of word practicelly.
Thank you for ignoring my stupid message. Appreciated!
Eh? It is good to be appreciated.
Reminds me of a joke:
"I'm not hard of hearing. I'm just ignoring you."
her major is C R J? what is that?
Possibly criminal justice.
✌️ Sup JParks
Are these students asl 1 students?
I think this particular student was ASL 2 at the time.
The students vary from absolute beginner all the way up to Deaf colleagues (as in the "Camping" video and the "Catan" video.
Why can’t I get her major ? I’m seeing CRJ.
CRJ is shorthand for "Criminal Justice."
It is a surprisingly versatile major that helps people be more savvy about the world in which we live.

@@sign-language that was my major. Never heard it called that. Thanks !!
Well, then it is a darn good thing we had this conversation! (Wink!)
Yah, in the (academic / college-involved) Deaf Community the spelling of CRJ is a fairly common way of referring to Criminal Justice (as a major).
This discussion does bring up a cross-cultural issue in which ASL doesn't have a specific general sign for "criminal" and we tend to spell the word when used in general contexts.
Wow Hi I name Nayara
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cassie looks like Ronaldo's female version......
no.. say deaf Hey Ok
The word "Deaf" is a fine word.
Here in America "Deaf" is the preferred word used by most culturally Deaf adults to describe ourselves.
www.nad.org
tf is WH?
In the field of ASL instruction a "wh-question" is a question that typically involves words that start with the letters "wh." For example: who, what, when, where, why, which, etc. (and can include how, how much, how many, etc.)
