I know I had commented in your actual video about this really being PSE but I'm only stressing it because Deaf people are very proud of their ASL language. If you advertise this as ASL some may comment and make suggestions, but others may be offended.

Nice; but slow down just a bit. Seems to rush between signs.

Why did you fingerspell the word "air"?

i take asl lessons

Thank you for doing this. I am learning ASL through songs and though some of the signs are quick it helps knowing what is actually being signed so I can look up just that word.

that's too fast, If I know ASL I would not need this tutorial. you go way too fast for beginners

@PseudoKitsch Actually, the object usually goes first in the OSV or "Object-Subject-Verb" word order. Sometimes, the subject can come first - usually in very short sentences. The rules for when to use OSV and when not to are not entirely clear to me yet, but I think I'm beginning to get an intuitive understanding of it even if I can't explain the grammatical rule yet, lol.

you go pretty fast.

I'd go a little slower though. xD

you helped me in asl
I'm not trying to be critical, but there is a difference between ASl and the structure that you are using. There is nothing wrong with signing PSE, which is what you are using, but you may want to be cautious about doing a tutorial labeled ASL. You are teaching incorrectly and it can cause problems for others in the future. If you would like to see this song in true ASL, watch the ASL version by allyballybabe. I hope you will continue learning sign language because your PSE is fine.

This is really great. I just may have to use this with my 4th graders for their talent show. It would be a great song for them to learn to sign and you teach it very well. Do you mind?
