Who understood the name I finger spelled in the video?
Steve! Thanks for the video it's really helpful especially the sentence structure
@@alexandraa6840 Good job! I'm glad you enjoyed learning about ASL sentence structure, I tried to make it as simple as possible
Steve. I am taking ASL classes, this is fun and easy!
@@theresabacker2765 That's great! Keep it up 👍
Steve :)
They should make ASL into a subject at school. I would definitely enroll and probably pass because I’m decent 😅
Agreed
@Anell Carroll not at every school
mines for school!
Yes they should.
I didn't know it wasn't at all schools. My high school has had this class for a long time.
Quarantine got me here and am glad v learnt way faster than some app
I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful
that's why I'm here too !! lol
Same

I was watching a movie and people were using sign language because there was a deaf girl. So now I'm bored and I feel like learning sign language
2:38 hello
2:52 how are you
3:29 fine
3:36 good
3:47 bad
4:30 my name is...
5:15 what’s your name
Thanks
STEVE IT WAS STEVE AND ITS MY FIRST TIME LOOKING AT SOMEONE SIGN THERE NAME AND FIGURING OUT!!!! IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!
Awesome, great job!
I feel u I'm the same 🤗
I was wondering what teve was. I guess i missed the fist haha
I'm learning this because i found out I'm going deaf at 13 years old
Edit!!!
I'm now 16 and I am doing just as well as I was maybe even better, since my hearing has deteriorated over the years this channel and many zoom classes later I have learned an extreme amount on communication skills within the signing, vibrations, and lip reading. Thank you all for the kind messages and well wishes
Wow, sorry that you are losing your hearing at such a young age. Learning sign though will open you to a wide community that will support you
Signed with Heart is amazing (instagram and youtube).
sad :(
You're going to be joining one of the greatest and most loving communities there is. I hope you find support and love there and all the best wishes to you
Join the community now. Get connected.
The name was Steve!
Great job!
@@ChrisGorges That's my name and I had just finger spelled it. Lmao.
@@00st00ev00en00 🤣
how did you know?
@@davidbernard8062 by going into slow motion or pay attention to each movenment.
Thanks brother. My co worker is deaf and it messed me up that no one trys to communicate with him. Your video helped me. Now we talk all the time. He cried cause he thought no one old give up their time to learn just to talk to him. Thank you again for the help. God bless
Wow, that's amazing, thanks for sharing
I agree, very few people have true passion for Sign Language & the Deaf. I learned my SL from my Deaf class mate & I discovered that the Deaf are the best teachers because you tend to sign without a chance to speak😄. So I became really good that other Deaf people thought I was also Deaf...I really love SL🙏🏼💖.
I'm French, I lived in Japan for 12 years and now I'm 6 years living in Brazil. I've studied the Japanese and Brazilian sign languages and now I'm learning the ASL. Honestly IMO, ASL should be as popular as English itself (being kinda universal). It's the funniest sign language I've studied so far, at least up till now while I'm practicing. Idk quite how to explain. Thank you so much for the videos!
I think that's great that you've been studying Japanese and Brazilian sign language and are now taking on ASL, keep up the great work!
Yeah it's quarantine why not to learn ASL😂
As good as time as any 👍
Exactly
same
I got a crush on the nicest deaf women and i really want to learn so i can get to know her
same
I’m learning this for my baby cousin she is three and deaf
That is great!
How sweet :)
10:17
*laughing* “why?”.. “It just is”
😂😂 that made me smile lol
lol
I just started learning asl and in less than 24 hours of people like yourselves videos I have learned the whole alphabet and how to communicate so much easier than I could before. Thank you! 😊
You're very welcome, great work!
Same, i have watched 4 videos worth 2 and a half hours and already picked up the alphabet and a decent amount of phases..... These videos are amazing!. So glad now too that schools are starting to implement ASL as an optional course for students; i have always believed that sign should be taught regardless of deaf students present or not.
I’m learning how to sign because my friend is getting a surgery that might leave her deaf also it’s really handy you never know when you might need it
That is great that you are taking that kind of initiative for you're friend. There really is no down side to learning sign language, it only helps you connect with even more people and can even lead into a career you'll fall in love with. Keep it up!
you're a great person, the fact that you're doing this "just in case", and even at all makes you a great friend.
I'm learning this just because I wanted to, but my friend knows ASL, so she can teach me how to sign better
Brandon Scott not yet but she did wake up with a little less hearing then the night before for I started studying a LOT harder
@@Emmett-qw3od what about now? has your friend already had surgery?
Emmett Harris how about now is she ok
Lost my voice form chronic laryngitis 1 yr 4 months ago, decided it was time to learn sign language. sadly most ppl dont know it, so i might end up still using my phone app tat speaks what i type, perhaps i can convince my family do learn it. at any rate these videos are just what i needed.
I'm sorry to hear about you losing your voice, sign language can certainly make communication faster when you have others to use it with. Getting your family involved can really help along in the learning process as well. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help (we can set up a consult if you'd like calendly.com/aslbasics/consultation)
i really cant thank people like you enough for providing this sort of thing for free. asl has been something i've been interested in learning for a while and knowing that folks are helping out online is so nice. and you all work to make it accessable and friendly and honestly? it's amazing.
Thanks, that is certainly our goal, we want to make learning sign language as easy and accessible as possible. Keep up the great work in learning ASL
It’s crazy how he is till replying to comments from like 10months ago, im here and it says “a year ago” but despite how long it was, this helped me very much, I am learning ASL and this helped me get a better understanding of ASL🖤
I try my best to respond to everyone 😅 I'm glad that you found the videos helpful and that you are getting a better understanding of ASL
*chris showing us diferent ways to hand sign "why"* :why,why,why,why,why,why
Also Chris: why? Idk it just is 😄
Lmaooooo!!! I saw that coming and still laughed lol btw Quarantine has me learning sign language and this was super helpful!
Lol, glad you're taking the opportunity to watch these videos while under quarantine. Keep up the great work
so this is pretty cool to learn. i went completely deaf when i was 12 (8 years ago) im a lip reader so ive been trying to learn sign lately. very helpful
I'm glad that you are finding these video helpful! Let me know if there is anything you would like to see in future videos 👍
Best of luck with learning it! Much support and love to you!🤗💜
I admire so much your dedication. Chris millón pf thanks.
Rylan Landrum thank you so much 💕
Elizabeth Gallo thank you so much 💕
I’m a manager at an Assisted Living Facility for Deaf-blind (DBMD) in San Antonio, TX and this video was very informative. Subscribed! I will let my staff know about this channel so that they can subscribe and learn more ASL also. Thanks for all you do! ❤️
I love how you say "what?" 💛 It really reminds me of my ASL Teacher; she was deaf.
I like that you teach the variations as well. A lot of people who sign on a regular basis don't use formal sign language. They have their own idiosyncrasies and add personal touches to the way they communicate. So when you learn sign language, it's always good to know all the other ways in which you might see it for recognition purposes.
Agreed, languages are so diverse and you are completely right about people having their own idiosyncrasies and their own styles. Thanks for sharing that
I feel like its making it harder to learn he does it one way skow then different last
Steve is the name. I am spending lots of time learning sign while this Corona Virus " stay home " ordeal. Please everyone be safe and strong.
Thats right, the name was Steve. I'm glad you are spending the time during quarantine learning sign 👍
Chris George: “Make sure you’re smiling when you say good!”
2020: ...masks..
Lol, yeah, although there are masks that you can make or buy with a clear piece so you can see the other persons mouth, many interpreters use these types of masks for better communication
Lol! At work, we are starting to learn to read others' eyes and wrinkles. 🤣
@@chrisbgood2359 lol
Yeah...I'm a Pharmacy Technician, and I get deaf/hoh patients. I'm trying to communicate better with them
I was told about him tonight from a wonderful woman in drive thru. She told me about this channel (via sticky note).
My grandson is 3 months old. He's hearing impaired and we're not sure the extent yet. We're learning sign language for him. Thank you for the information. 🙏😊
I have recently watched a movie where the main character is deaf. That got me thinking. I want to learn sign language. So here i am the next day.
Welcome! Was that movie by any chance A Quite Place?
Chris Gorges Oh my god that’s my favorite movie!
@@emtoonie6119 Yeah, its one of my favorites too 😁
Was it A Silent Voice?
Monsterman901 omg yes I watched that movie too it’s so good but sad
My parents have a friend who know ASL. She’s completely hearing but she has deaf friends. But I was really caught up in the beauty of it and wanted to learn. She’s coming to visit and I’m excited to show her what I’ve learned! My dad also knows some sign language. But very minimal, his friend is fluent he just knows most starter signs and other things like dance/dancing or cat/kitten. Or dance you make a person with one hand and have a flat palm up with the other and you wiggle the person back and forth like they’re on a dance floor for dance. For kitten you make an f or in other words you touch you pointer finger and your thumb together and let your other fingers stand up. And then you touch your cheek with your thumb and finger together and basically draw a whisker like a cat.
CZcams: Celebrates *international* sign language day
Also CZcams: Made a playlist of mostly American sign language
I'm helping my friend learn ASL and this has helped a lot!
Edit: Please remember that when signing "Thank you!" That your fingers do not go under your chin because that would be flipping someone off 😅
lol, great tip
LOL 😂
I'm hard of hearing and have signed for a good many years. No one in my family signs (I wear hearing aids so I do interact by speaking with my wife and children) and sometimes I wish they did, but since I can hear ok, it isn't on "their radar". You're a terrific instructor and I can see where someone would learn easily from you.
On a side note, it has happened in past years where those of us who are not totally deaf nor do we hear 100% can find ourselves on the outside socially. Rarely, but some deaf don't readily accept us and hearing folks ( a few, not all) think either we must be shouted at or have minimal interactions with. I get it, some hearing people are trying to be kind they just don't know what to do.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm sure it must be very frustrating being stuck between cultures. My wife and I have had a few friends that were in the in-between zone and they found it very frustrating too and feeling like they didn't fully belong to either one. I hope that your family become more understanding and will put forth more of an effort to communicate with you using sign language. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
learning ASL because i go long periods of being nonverbal and it helps having a way to communicate during that time,and these videos make it so much easier! thank you!!!
You signed STEVE!!!! It took me a minute to figure it out but literally jumped for joy when I finally did
That's awesome!
Ok I have played this video at least 33 times and I'm learning so much from it, thank you so much for making this video.
I work customer service and find myself having communication blocks with some of the deaf people in the area. I'm so glad I found this video!! I've always wanted to learn ASL
That is awesome!
I have recently met a deaf person, I loved watching this! Today I quizzed my mom I said "Your name what" just as a test and she said "Is it- thank you very much?" I laughed so hard. Keep this up please! This was gret! You deserve another 20k!
A colleague at my wrk always sat and talked face time in the lunch room.
I went up to her and started writing on paper to talk, then texted .,,,,till I came across the ASL lessons by Chris. She is so happy and since then she and me have a Bond!!!
Thank you Chris . The Slow sign helped me most😂😂
Wow, that is great!
My doctor just told me I am going to go deaf in about a year. I'm only 12 so this is very helpful for me. Other videos just end up teaching very few phrases and I don't end up remembering anything. I love your teaching style, and tips. Keep up the great work! :)
Sorry about your hearing loss at such a young age, I'm glad that you found the video helpful
Hello 👋 sorry to bother you, how are you dealing with it today ?
Also, feel free to let me know if you would like me to explain more about grammar, sentence structure, syntax, semantics in future videos ... or if you would prefer less of that stuff and more vocabulary
Would LOVE a video just on grammar. I'm struggling with it.
@@NCGrace413 Ok, great, thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for explaining the syntax. I appreciate the breakdown of it all!
@@fjncruz671 Glad that it helped, I know the syntax can sometimes be the hardest part, but fortunately ASL is one of the more forgiving languages if you dont get it quite right the first time
Grammar, sentence structure and syntax please! Your videos are awesome!
I now work with our small town school district. When the school year ended, I still needed and wanted to work. The only open positions were as an Instructional assistant in Special Education classes. I was assigned a class of mostly 6-9 year olds. I fell IN LOVE with those kids! Most are on the Autism spectrum and are non verbal. We have been learning how to communicate through signs, eye contact and facial expressions. This now gets to be my regular position! I am SOOOO EXCITED! I can't wait for school to start up again next month and I am using these few weeks off (summer break) to study up. Thank you for providing a way for me to learn how to communicate with those very special children I will now be spending my days with. Actually, "thank you" isn't adequate. You are a blessing.
I think this guy is a legend! He's still hearting comments and even commenting on those comments even if this video is 1 year old! This video was really helpful thanks
I love this channel so much! I wanted to learn French, sign language, and Japanese and I didn’t think I could do it but this has been encouraging me. I’m so happy I was able to learn these all in one day and memorize them.
That's great that you are learning multiple languages. You might really like this video I did with Juliana Russell who is a teacher and speaks several languages too czcams.com/video/R2trqEk1rAM/video.html
What inspired you to learn sign language? I am just curious if you had a need (to communicate with a parent or friend), or if there was another reason. I taught myself the ASL alphabet when I was about 9 or 10 from the dictionary, now I'm 54. I can't wait to learn more from your videos! Thank you : )
I have been learning sign language from my deaf bff for the last 4 years. She always gives me funny looks if i sign it wrong or forget some words. Thank you for this video! This will help me immensely!
That's great!
It's 4:00 in the morning and your videos are burned in to my brain
Thanks man
Welcome 👋
Really glad I came across this video and your channel! I’ve wanted to get into ASL, but I just didn’t know where to start or I would forget. But now, I’ve watched this twice, and I feel so proud that I know these signs. I’m definitely gonna watch your other videos and sub for more of this. I appreciate it
I'm trying to learn ASL to communicate with deaf customers at my job. This will be very helpful!
That's great 🙌
this is why I'm doing it too! normally when I have deaf customers we get through just fine with pen and paper, but I also feel morally responsible for taking it upon myself to learn the basics at least! it would be nice to have a friendly, small conversation without a communication barrier, and I know it would make things a lot more easier for deaf/hard of hearing customers :)
@@lizjohnson3702 I agree!!! I felt it was my responsibility to learn at least some basic sign to interact with her! I finally got to try it out last week. All I could remember on the spot was "I am learning sign." but she was so happy and replied back, "Good!" :) I was so tickled. I can't wait to learn more and to pass it on to my daughters
learning to communicate with a couple i see often at the grocery store I work at! I wish this was taught along with regular curriculum. Deaf and those hard of hearing should be able to communicate with everyone! Thank you for posting this so I can learn!!!!
I haven't met any deaf people before in real life. I got to know some online in a VR game called VRChat and there were some people trying to teach me some of the basics so I already have knew some words like good or bad. Besides the whole words are pretty much the same but due to the limited finger-movement the spell different. Its really beautyful to see how a community manages to cummunicate through different languages and disabilitys. I hope that I'll be able to have some actual conversations in asl when I learned some more.
I feel like we should have this as a language class because more people should be able to Community and be a part of a conversation
Agreed 👍
Really enjoyed this video, practicing until the next one!! Thanks!
That's great! You can never get enough practice 😀
Thank you for the video. I've been HOH for 20 years and have finally decided to accept myself and learn ASL. This is getting me off to a quick start!
You are a king for making these. I have always wanted to learn ASL but I never had the chance until now.
Thanks, I'm glad you found the video helpful
It took me 10 mins to learn my name in ASL and it’s so worth it
Awesome, great work!
@@ChrisGorges thank you!
I’ve partially lost my hearing from having neuroblastoma and osteosarcoma due to the chemo. It is very hard for me to hear others and read lips. Thank you for this because I’m sure it will help me communicate more clearly in the future :)
So sorry for everything you've been through, it certainly seems like a lot,. I'm glad that you found the video helpful
I think this video deserves a lot more credit, he clearly spent a lot of effort into making this. This is the first video I have seen that has shortcuts to each word in the description.
Thanks
It is on my bucket list to be a better person by learning ASL. Thank you for doing these. The answer to your first question is "Steve".
That’s great
Thank you for this video. I'm in my first ASL class and very excited. My only suggestion is to repeat the gestures (3 times) instead of once as you seem to rush through them. I realize I can rewatch but I find things stick in my brain a bit more when I repeat 3 times. Thanks again!
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
@@ChrisGorges Thank you for this video. I’m just now trying to learn phrases. I’ve mastered the alphabet, albeit still a bit slow at finger spelling. I realize this video is old, but if I could make a suggestion….go a little slower when you’re signing more than one word. Some of the words are a little difficult to see how they are formed going from one word to the next. Thanks, and look forward to watching and learning more from you.
This is fantastic! I've been wanting to learn ASL for years but the format was always too clinical, or it just didn't connect with me. I love the notes you add with learning and the variations. It's like learning from one of those "cool teachers" in school! Can't wait to come out of the C19 lock down with lots of ASL knowledge :)
Lol, thanks 😁
That was so helpful to put the time stamps on each sign reviewed in description. Thank you
You're welcome :)
Steve! This is where I'm at in the video and I'm loving it so far. This is a wonderful re-entry into the world of ASL.
Cool vid.
Just one thing I must say: "are'" and "is" are not articles. They are a form of the verb "to be."
Yeah, that's true, I didn't want to overcomplicate things or overwhelm the viewer, but yeah, maybe I shouldn't have over generalized. Thanks for pointing that out
A good way to remember "sorry" is to take the 'a' from "apologize" and rub it into your heart. So if you're sorry, you mean it from your heart.
That's a great way to remember it, thanks for sharing
@@ChrisGorges And this is a great video :) I appreciate you making these
Love that you time stamp so one can review particular words. Subscribed!
I have been losing my hearing over several decades. Time to get the whole family and friends on board with ASL.
I just started a facebook group for us, in which I can share all these helpful videos I come across. Thankyou.
I've always wanted to learn this. And with covid and the quarantine it's the perfect time
That's great 👍
These are exactly like the ones lifeprint.com has had for years, right down the the number 100.
Lifeprint is a great resource for sure
I know this is an older video but it's been super helpful already. I just started learning ASL on my own and I have my notebook in hand ready to take notes and I love being able to pause and practice and continue or go back. I am probably going to be stuck on this video for a while until I feel confident with this and then move to the next video! Thank you for this!
I’m deaf, and this is almost the only video that actually has captions that I can read to understand the video. Thanks
6:14
Was it Steve?
I started watching some videos out of curiosity
Yep, it sure was, great work
his name is steve hi steve edit: also since everyone is telling they're story of why their learning sign i will too i'm learning sign because you never know when you're gonna need it and since it's quarantine and i have so much time on my hands let me not waste it
👍
@@ChrisGorges :)
I've been watching videos about the deaf community and finally got the energy to learn some asl because it's so cool. It really is so much different than other languages, and so much EASIER than I expected, it's not like learning a full language it's literally "signs" for things or actions rather than full sentences which I didnt realize
I work at a bakery and we have a couple regulars that are deaf. Including an old co-worker. The smile on there face when I sign the littlest words make me wanna become fluent!
Hello finding video helpful but it's hard to see your hand signs w/the subtitles 🤷♀️ so am not sure if am doing it correctly because I cant fully see the hand movement 🤦♀️
Thanks for letting me know that. I'll be sure to make sure the signs are shown high in the frame away from the subtitles :)
you can take the subtitles off by clicking the cc
this should definitely be a subject in school 😅
Agreed 👍
I Love your energy and smoothness...even when it’s not perfect or I get confused, I still feel calm and on track. Thanks 😊
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
I have struggled to learn ASL for years, every since I learned the alphabet. I learned good morning and good night after that. Bought a few books that were. So complicated. Watched several vids on CZcams n they always go too fast. This is the 1st one I was able to understand except for 1 or 2 you did low n the closed caption letters were blocking the sign but I learned most of these. Thank you for going slow n keeping it simple. I will continue to follow along. Merry Christmas n a Joyful n healthy 2022.
When will the next 3 videos be available?
The next one will be available tomorrow. The third will go up a week after that, and then the final one a week after that.
@@ChrisGorges Thanks so much! Can't wait!
@@janeisjago 👍
The name was Steve!! Did I get it?
Yep, you nailed it!
I would like to Thank you, our grandson was born legally deaf, 16 years later his hearing aids aren't working for him any longer, this hurdle was crossed 16 years ago, with your help, we all are learning, including him.
Super glad to have found this channel.
Captions in the way of your hands...would like to clearly see your hands..
My apologies, the captions can be tricky since they change sizes depending on each device. If you watch from desktop however, you can adjust the size of the captions. In future videos I will try adjusting the composition to compensate for the closed captions. Thanks for the feedback
You can also turn off captions to see it clearer
you're an excellent teacher, but I can't see all of your hand movements because of the words on the screen. Sincerely hope you can address this.
Thank you, I will try to address the closed captions in future videos. However, a quick fix is to watch the video on desktop where you can adjust the size of the closed captions. Thanks for watching and for the feedback
Oh to turn of captions pause it u will see three dots at the right click it and there's captions and then click it and turn it off and ur done
@@lordforquaad2459 theyre probably deaf this is an asl video :)
@@brisouthwell2822 oh that makes sense thx so much :)
Just started learning and have to say you are super easy to understand and very straightforward. Thanks so much for all the great lessons!
Thanks
this is really helpful!! i don't know who i can use this with but i have always wanted to learn and this made it pretty easy thank you!!
You can also write it down here is how I did it
*How are you?*: two fists like a brain then twist next point towards that person
*fine*: 5 then put thumb on chest the slightly wave
*good*: fingers on chin while other hand is flat in front of you. Bring other hand down to flat one
*my name is*: hand flat on chest then two fingers (index and middle) on both hands cross over each other twice
Where are you from? You-from-where. You, from: cross pull finger back. Where: pointer finger wave like telling a child no
I am learning sign language: sign-language-I-learn. Language: cross pointer fingers, bull both fingers opposite directions.
Slow: (I’m right handed so this is how I wrote it)
Left hand out, right hand start at fingers and go up arm a little
Stop: left palm face up right hand comes down sideways
Excellent 👍
did i just learn 25 words in sign language, yes i did
lol, great work!
It is Steve. I lerned alphabet 10 minutes before this video but i have to practise a lot and i want to know sign language bc maybe one day I meet a deaf person and I would like to make some conversatione with them. And i love the fact that you are helping people to learn sign language
Thank you! I work retail and have run into a couple different customers who are deaf who no longer get the option to read lips. I know very small amounts of sign, but have realized i now desperately want to learn more.
That's great 🙌
There are two reasons why I am here
1- I am bored af and why not learn something
2-my stepmom’s sister is deaf
👍
The name was 'Steve' i think correct me if i'm wrong
Steve is right 👍
I am mostly learning sign language to communicate with my hearing friends who always talk far away from each other and in loud places. Such a useful language.
I just recently started watching your channel! I am a nursing student who is trying to become educated it other forms of communication to be able to communicate with patients better! I look forward to what there is to learn!
That’s great to hear, keep up the amazing work Ashley
Steve
Correct!
6:10 I think your spelling aneye
That is actually pretty close, A can look similar to an S, the N is pretty close to T, and Y is a little similiar to Y. The name was Steve :)
Just picked up ASL this week and your videos are SOOO helpful!!! Thank you!!!
I'm glad that you are finding our videos helpful
Thank you for these videos, they are EPIC!
I appreciate the work but words running down disrupt the viewing of signs
Thanks, I'll be sure to take that into consideration for future videos. The captions can be tricky since they show up in various sizes depending on the device being used. I appreciate the feedback 👍
Steve?
Yep!

This helps a lot i have a friend that writes on a paper to tell me what he is saying now I could understand.
I’ve been watching loads of asl videos and I’ve learned more asl in 3 days than I have learned Spanish in 3 years...
I was the same way, ASL was much easier to learn than verbal languages
