  • that last tip about how he processes his name in his head was the most helpful tip anyone could have given me thank u sooo much.no one has ever told me about that thank you.

  • @rodazi they use American Sign Language in Canada. The blonde lady's name is listed under each of her videos, & if you google her, she does it all. She is just a sort of celebrity, spokes person for whomever and whatever as long as she is being paid.. As for her signing, anyone can look up signs in a book & pretend to be an expert. Really, all she is doing is showing vocabulary, words. That isn't ASL, that isn't LANGUAGE - and, she makes a lot of mistakes according to those who DO know ASL.

  • Very different to Auslan.

  • This is American sign language. I saw one doing sign that I believe our instructor said is done in England. The way you can tell is that they are drawing letters on the palm compared to this man who signs ASL. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

  • Boy. That door leads NO WHERE!

  • The blonde woman is Canadian so what she's presumably teaching is Canadian sign language. But she doesn't specify that, hence the confusion. I personally think her explanations and teaching method are better. I could watch her videos just one time and remember what she taught easily. With this guy I have to watch at least a few times.

  • I think they're saying that the women isn't teaching AMERICAN sign language, but some other kind of sign language...

    I dunno.. I was confused too :D
