American Sign Language- 3 Little Pigs

[CheyiifyUrself]

Wow , every one is hating cus ur pretty and there not :/

[BurntHotDogs]

58,000 hits on this video? I looked at your other videos here and they're not even close to that number of hits, I wonder why. Never mind I just figured it out.

Really, you did pretty good with your ASL.....I would think since that was 3 years ago you're probably better at it now.

[drumstudent06]

asl student here(looking at others doing the 3 little pigs because that's what i'm doing), who cares what you're wearing, it's for an assignment, not for work!

[Qdrum803]

Nice pair.

[deafornot2]

It was reported on a Deaf dating site named  Deafornot dot c om that 500,000 Deaf individuals in the United States claim American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.

[jamesc1279]

1:48- 1:51 Sexiest part of video!

[MarbleEyes0o]

Ur cute! You did great. And who cares about what shirt your wearing. people shld shut up really. Im deaf n deaf family n all. Your sign language needs some works but thats okay. The video is old i can see. =]

[MargretDean]

hhaha some losers are watching this because of what youre wearing and not the sign language- thats pretty sad on their behalf.

[waldo3610]

shouldnt we b more worried about what she's signing then what she's wearing???

[JamieRMaxwell]

@waldo3610 Thank you. :-)

[BrittaniCrawford]

@waldo3610 well, it is extremely important to be professional if you're interested in becoming an interpreter. Solid black, no nail polish, hair tied back, and definitely nothing revealing. Your clients aren't interested in how cute you are; they're interested in whether you're helping them to communicate properly. And in that sort of outfit, clients would not take their interpreter seriously.

[BrittaniCrawford]

@waldo3610 I also don't think it really matters, because this isn't an advanced ASL video, and she's not interested in interpreting. However, it is extremely important to be professional if you're interested in becoming an interpreter. Solid black, no nail polish, hair tied back, and definitely nothing revealing. Your clients aren't interested in how cute you are; they're interested in whether you're helping them to communicate properly.

[watching656]

Come on you guys. Even though the blouse is a distraction, she still looks very nice. ;) You are very good looking.

Awesome signing!

[SignLanguageLaura]

If you want to be an interpreter, save that shirt for your own time. Cleavage and Polka-dots are both huge mistakes.

Wear a solid color, a dark one...and cover up.

"Build" was a version I've never seen before...

Maybe indicate that the sticks are wood, instead of just signing what looks like a ladder. Keep practicing. Good job.

[JamieRMaxwell]

I don't want to be an interpreter. This was posted 3 years ago and done on my own time for my intro to sign language class.

And I know ALL about the low cut shirt. Every other comment I get mentions it.

:-)

[jostrov]

@JamieRMaxwell I thought it was great.

My wife and I are learning sign to communicate with our autistic son. These videos definitely help. thx!

Only comment is that I wish you had subtitles on the video; would help us learn all the signs. keep it up.

[redheadbunny]

Your signing is very fluent and very entertaining for my nephews, but after a few minutes it was very hard on the eyes due to your polka dotted t-shirt. But, other than that, great job.

[Isign4u1944]

Your story was awesome! You used such ourstanding expressions and the signing was not difficult to understanding. Thank you for sharing this story.

[GingerWithASoul]

Ummm..

No offence but I am gay.

But

You have very nice breasts.

This isn't something you want to distract people with while signing.

[bigd69er]

goddddddddd dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mm...........hottttttttttttttt­tt.

[huggiehuggie1]

You must speak a different dialect or somethign or it could just be taht your level 3 and almost fluent cuz i really dont understand that much

[huggiehuggie1]

LOL!!! you are fucking hott!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperJosh97]

hahahah LMAO I like this one! good one! keep practicing! :D

[slovakiapc]

Very nice ! I likes it and you very nice girl. I'm from Slovakia and i know a small ASL. :)

[Shelllium]

Encourage you to wear shirt that matches a kid's story. Need to learn more ASL... SH

[tobbe3211231]

hi! good movie :P i am deaf too and from sweden =)

[naimae]

Hey I have the same project, its for my final. I have to do a children's story, I chose 3 little pigs. Im in the process of glossing the story right now. Im hearing. Good job on the story, and Idk y ppl are talking about ur shirt, that has absolutely nothing to do with the story :smh: ... i guess. Good job tho girlie!

[jmjhil]

Shirt isn't related to the story, but as a rule of thumb, stick with contrasting solids when signing - otherwise, you're asking readers to do the equivalent of reading a hand-written note on plaid paper, or yellow text on white paper...very difficult and tiring on the eyes after a long time.

[78835]

hey that was great! ck out my ASL spidy vid!

[sharpjoker]

Please come be my interpreter...

;-)

[jikjik1980]

i m deaf plase delhi you verygood

[deafgagirl]

for a hearing girl trying to sign ASL.. You need to learn more ASL sign so you can do better.

p.s. I agree with some of the comments about your blouse being a distraction. If you going to sign on VBLOGS you need to put on something more appealing.

[JamieRMaxwell]

I signed it exactly the way I was taught to.

It was for a class project and I got an A.

:-)

p.s. I love that blouse! But I didn't notice the distraction until after I filmed.

[whitesoxrules]

Well i think the blouse looks good on you!

[caw0059]

Suuuure you didn't notice. The only thing that distracted me from what IIIII was watching was your hands kept moving so much. ;-) Motorboat time!!!! Easily the hottest chick I have ever seen doing sign.

[crystalrockne]

I agree that the top is both cute and distracting. I tell my students that they should dress professionally when they plan to post something that may be seen as scholarly...meaning if they are going to put out a video and call it ASL, they should do so as a professional.

As for your signing...not bad. :) I little robotic but it looks like eith er nerves or over-practice.

[garys737]

She is a beauty,, let you nails grow.........

[260191894]

you, miss, are a charming young lady. :)

[AkiraCM]

wow!!! Very story about pig and 3 kids. Can i like to make new friend wiht you, can? If u open mind. Thanks

[arocnna]

Wow! This is great...I'd like to show this to the 3 Deaf kids in my classroom.  They'll really enjoy seeing the story.

[Brownbrum]

Ouch! You are so FIT!!!

[jamescn898]

hello Jamie, i wish you know more stories, i really enjoyed, even when i do not know how to sign, j

[rflorer]

I have 7,soon to be 8, ASL videos posted. I have only received 1 comment. What gives?

[zeltenfire]

Jamie you're beautiful. Where did you learn sign?

[zdsrf01]

Wonderful job...Thanks, this really helped me out...

[Emwells93]

your good

[recycledbookworm]

OMG Jamie 26,000 views of this video...and to think there is about 100 of us that are forced to do it every semester at our school alone!

[JamieRMaxwell]

lol I know! It's crazy!

But now everyone wants me to do more ASL videos, and I don't know any other stories! lol

[224dominican224]

try doing numbers, the alphabet, maby some words

[240sxcarbonx]

great job JA.true about your shirt, but in this case i don't think it matter.its not a formal video.

[lazmedina]

I'll chop off my ears...let me be your student...teach me please.

[mcjim86]

i really want to learn sign language, of course with this kind of teacher i think i will learn fast , teach me jamie pls!

[Holeo14]

pretty good!! i wonder who the girl is.

[kingtexas1]

My Granddaughter, Katie, enjoyed this very much. Good job! She rates you 5 stars! Thanks

[Thefung]

Sexiest ASL story teller that I have seen!!!hahaha

Slightly exaggerated movements but cute facial expressions.

And yes, the hair gets in the way but that would be fixed if the movements were not exaggerated.

[Jdghk12]

Well, not bad for hearing girl.. Just little rusty.. You will be fine if i can teach you hehe..

[Deafjoe3]

I agree with K98371's comment. I know your ASL is not fleunt but you did try your best to express that story in ASL. Bravo!

[BibloHawaii]

You need to change your blouse. YOur breasts are showing... yikes! LOL

[JamieRMaxwell]

Little late now. ;-)

[burgermind]

Luckily for the other sick jerks like me...

[cantareadio]

That was a bit of a harsh way to put it, but yes, if you're going to sign for an audience, you cannot wear distractive clothing. Meaning the low cut shirt really is very disruptive and so are the polka dots. Kudos on a nice body, but be careful and use it when appropriate.

Other than that, nice job.

[mraot07]

Wow very good. But sweetie.. wear a full shirt and a solid dark color. The low cut is really distracting and um.. revealing. However I enjoyed it.

[k98371]

good job but need to keep in mind that polka dots can blur the movement of your hands and a low cut shirt is very distracting. also, make sure to put your hair back because it gets in the way. work on your movements and placement. keep up the signing and i applaud your effort

[AlinneaDarklordsSis]

Wow. Your facial expressions are good. It makes the story so much more enjoyable.

[rocketriff]

wtf?!

[adfcsumit]

wow wow... I am happy ASL for deaf.. this is nice. Jesus love you...

[upthebuttmonkey]

uh... that was a lame way to slide it in there. lol. im glad you are telling people Jesus loves them but you made it sond boring. put it in all caps or put some exciting exclamation points after it.. you made it sound like *sigh* Jesus loves you...

[marcel911]

In the UK, people signing on TV shows always look like they have a bad smell under their nose. It's nice to see someone looking like they are enjoying themselves while signing.

[jrem11]

wow good job... very descriptive... more descriptive than mine... i had to keep mine over 4 minutes but under 6 so i couldnt be as descriptive as i wanted to...

[jackmehoffer68]

I had trouble concentrating on the three little pigs because of your two big....hands, yeah!

[Joefjc]

.....WOW!......Will you marry me? You did wonderful! I am glad you had posted this you did a wonderful job. Please continue doing ASL I just feel really connected to anyone who knows ASL because communication is so important! btw Im hard of hearing form WA

Joe

[fridemar]

Dear Jamy,

your appearance and performance is breath-taking. Never saw something similar.

-- fridemar

[rae0311]

You did a great job!=)

I know sign language, my best friend is deaf & I am in a ASL class and have to do this exact thing for a grade- your video came in handy when i forgot my paper to study! lol =)

VERY GOOD JOB THOUGH!

[WINTERPHROG]

more emotion

[wakeupfist]

I am profoundly aroused...

[andy35fitz]

fantastic and she is gorgeous to,,,,, thanks from andrew south wales uk

[SirNaggerOfJones]

This lady is gorgeous.

I heard that Chuck Norris can hear sign language.

[Joefjc]

Chuck can what? LMFAO!

[adfcsumit]

wow wow wow.. it's very nice.. I am happy for you.. jesus love you

[Joefjc]

No, I love her

[Braemar15]

cool cute story and pretty im from england and  can sign language myself of course and im clear understand you talking so wicked cheers

[eckoraexo]

I love that shirt!! :]

[Tuberjlaw]

AMAZING! and the signing is pretty good too;)

[Nelliebeans]

I'm just curious...Do you speak ASL fluently? :o]

[Joefjc]

Speak ASL? or sign ASL?

[mutantmeat]

I enjoyed it, and PLEASE be dramatic! after all is storytelling; if may I suggest 1.-the shoulder shifting(already discussed) and maybe 2.- more characterization (more drama lol) to avoid the piggy 1,2,etc. 3.- looks like is a ONE hand signing, use both hands as much as you can will look better. Your flow and pace is right on point, the story is engaging and entertaining.GOOD JOB!

\''/_ The Mutant

[BreakinpopRG]

i am deaf, i understand her asl :p

[bestamerica]

wow she is so lovely pretty lady..i like it

[Rescue911Trooper]

I wonder how did you get interested in sign language?

[cynicgimpy]

Awesome job. I am HH and sign SEE and ASL and I liked it a lot. But just remember with ASL you do not need to say the character's name before they speak (i.e., the pig said...)...it's role shifting and tho you did a good job with the basics there's always room for imprvment

[dforjesus]

So cute :) "And the third pig said, 'bring it'" haha

[skiboo73]

!!Cute!! Good Job signing!

[eyesuh]

that isreakkycool i like it ican understand but great idea

[funkalishes]

I loved it! I (for the most part) understood. It was enjoyable to watch!

[kalacaw]

I enjoyed it, Jamie.

[spoiledvamp27]

My deaf twin sister quite enjoyed this. We grew up using Signing Exact English (SEE sign language), so I never really learned ASL, but my sister eventually did at her deaf camps. I've picked up a bit of it from her, so I was able to generally follow. Good job! :-)

[JamieRMaxwell]

I'm so glad you both liked it! Yeah, it was mainly for a grade, but I decided to put it on here and see if people would enjoy it!

[lisababy85]

I enjoyed it very much, I am going to let my friend watch this, she is Deaf and I am sure she will appresiate it! tHANK YOU!

[CityofLight83]

knowing sign language multiplies your hotness lol

[JamieRMaxwell]

lol I'm glad!

[stlouisasl]

try turning your torso not your whole body when switching characters

[stlouisasl]

I didn't mean for that to sound so rude just a suggestion sorry

[JamieRMaxwell]

OH no, I know what you mean. I would have not been so dramatic, but it was for a grade. :-)

[stlouisasl]

I understand how long have you been learning asl?

[RandallMRueff]

Wow...

[BryAnorexia]

lol this is really cool, i dont quite follow it, but you look like youre having fun with it. i understood the wolf though! lol. very good video!
