I agree with your VLOG: But for me, it was different, I am from Aussie and deaf too. I.e. Order food at McDonald's I sometimes use my cell phone to order. If I order quickly, I eventually talk. But I like the way what I have done, I go to Starbucks Coffee store, I ask for a Hot chocolate they simply understood but I wonder why deaf people would just sign to the person behind the cashier, if they don't understand the sign language? Would deaf people use their voice to support the conversation?
hi, i see your point.. i did said i cant hear first place then they stop and confused.. it true.. but i watched your vlog and you use sign langauge to hearing people? like i said in sign language, write and note please, will they bring note and pen? that what you talking about? pls let me know thank
And, thank you for mentioning your BSL videos. I am learning some BSL on my own for when I will finally get to travel someday to other countries and communicate with the Deaf there. I want very much to someday visit the UK. There is no BSL here in the US, but at least I have YouTube and BSL web sites.
Thus far, I know the alphabet and days of the week, well sort of, in both ASL and BSL.
The answer for me is not more ASL books (I have lots of those) and more Web sites and such in ASL lessons. I am desperate for videos that go a bit slower. I wish YT had a way to slow down the speed of videos for people like me who are still learning.
It is like trying to learn and understand Spanish when all you have are books about Spanish and fluent-level tapes of Spanish that go at very fast, fluent speed and difficulty.
One of my friends uses ASL/BSL. I recently found a fantastic website for learning ASL. Unfortunately, YT will not let me post the website so I have written the dots in, to get it posted!
There is a fantastic ASL Uni CD available too!

I hope those links help you. Also, if ever you are interested in learning a little British Sign Language, checkout my vids. Click on my name above this posting.
But, I need to be able to watch and understand the ASL videos, to watch ASL in action and understand it, and to work on my ASL listening skills. ASL University is not a substitute for this.
I have ASL books. I have ASL University. But, I can't very well understand fluent ASL signers.
I have a problem. The fluent ASL videos go too fast for me.
And, I can't presently sign with other Deaf and hard of hearing people here where I live because pinched nerve pain and back pain often make that impossible. I also had to quit ASL classes with a private tutor because of this and because he was utterly clueless about my condition and what it does.

Hi. I am newly hard of hearing. I am learning ASL.
Please is there any way to get a transcript of this or something? Or sign slower for new people like me? Something? Anything? Help? HELP???
I'm so lost...
I'm what I call "Deaf impaired." Until I get good at ASL, I will continue to be "Deaf impaired."
Heck...I can't even do VRS yet. :-(
