 Hey everybody Welcome to another episode of the quest to learn 5,000 words in sign language today. We're switching things up And I think it's probably good to have a little bit of a switch up Particularly because of this, you know, virus situation that's going wrong It's scaring a lot of people it's causing a lot of panic and I thought what better way to check out What's going on then to see what the deaf community has to say about it. So I found a whole Bevy of channels that are all about dealing with talking to people about leaving their religion Going over trauma dealing with anxiety or even things like the coronavirus and I was like wow, this is amazing So please check out deaf counseling centers. These guys right here deaf count. Well, let me move this down Just weave it come on down scroll scroll for me deaf counseling center only 1000 subscribers support these guys and Well, I just saw this video once and I was like, you know what? Let's make a video on this because this is great, especially in this time that we're in plus it's been a while since I did a full breakdown of Sign language thing for a while. I mean, I think we only looked at the dragon prints really so How about we go over this? I don't think I'll get copyright claim because these guys might be a lot more cooler and we can talk about the signs that they use in this and the overall message of Dealing with the stress that comes from you know the panic that's being ensued by the coronavirus And is there a better way of going about it? Is there a better way to understand? you know how to treat people and how to think of like good methods of parsing good information from bad information Through a situation like this. I think like in times like this street epistemology is absolutely critical. So Let's go over it. In fact, you know what? I'm gonna do I'm actually just gonna go through the full video It's about a minute then we'll do the the step-by-step breakdown, right? Because it's only a minute long. All right, so Let's make sure I have we're at normal speed Let's just go with it And what's her name? Her name is Shelley Barber. Cool. Welcome everyone Let me back up. I got some things that I need to do let me put this on you You'll see why in a second. Anyway, let's go for again from beginning Everyone welcome to deaf Corona virus support group. We very happy. Oh man. She's really fast We very happy. We very appreciative. We very thankful so many Okay, let's go again. We very appreciative So many people joining and I don't know what that sign is wonderful positive posts that Everyone okay, gotta go again slow. Sorry. She's so she's so fluid Excuse me, let's go again posts that help everyone stay calm during the The tragic time we're our country is in Remembering everyone reminding everyone be kind avoid posting anything that maybe adds more panic and Just avoid Anything belittling Sentences anything You know, whoa, I got to see that again xenophobia Looks like belittling For example. Oh man All right, let's do this one last time Anything belittling Like phrases anything Xenophobia that looking at comments that are belittling for example. Hey You're from China. It's your fault We help I want We want this to be We want this Oh, I think she's saying safe. We want this group. I Gotta see it again. I'm sorry guys We want this group be safe Almost we want this group be safe place. What does that mean? Slow down for Everyone that's what she's saying We want this group to be a safe place for everyone we want this group be safe for everyone and Please help me And please help me everyone What's that? Oh, please help me everyone keep group safe Thank you All right, so that's a little window in my Ability to like try to parse sign language takes a while There's a lot of really really small signs put into this but she signs in a really clear way I really like it. Okay, so what we're gonna do is Maybe just one more quick run through now that I feel a bit more familiar with what's going on Yeah, let's do one last walk through it's only about a minute And then we'll do a breakdown of the signs that we see here Hey, everyone Welcome to my deaf corona virus support group We very appreciated if to see so many people Joining and I don't know what that sign is and it's wonderful Positive posts we help everyone stay calm During this terrible time our country is in more or less want to remind people be kind Avoid posting, you know anything that might be adding more Panic to the society to the situation and you know avoid Anything belittling, you know insults Phrases that like xenophobic that when you see them in comments that like but a little people for example Hey, you're from China dude. It's all your fault. You don't want people to say that like we want to keep this group safe for everyone and Please help me keep this group safe. Thank you Second time a little bit better second time a little better So let's go over the actual signs them because there are some really really good ones there I think colloquially would make a lot of sense And there's like probably just one that I really don't get too well, but that's fine. Normally when I'm doing Um Reception stuff like this. I'll slow it down a little bit So how about we go at half speed and if we need to go any slower, we'll go slower. All right, so Let's talk. Let me set this up. Let's talk about The signs that we're seeing properties Hey Getting the sex bubble ready Hi guys Okay, so let's actually do a breakdown of signs that we're seeing here all right, so First sign is Hello everyone Welcome to deaf Corona virus support group Hey, that's pretty good Welcome all right, so she says welcome everyone to deaf Corona virus support group. All right, so Welcome Welcome, you can be like welcome. There are a lot of different ways to say welcome But you're just like encouraging people with like a general. Hey welcome to This also is a sign for point so like what's your point but to like To or just tapping a finger point like this is like at this is like to You don't even have to be that hardcore sometimes that mixes up but Welcome and then you can go straight into the thing that you're welcoming to but she's going out of a way to speak like to So like welcome to Co co C o r o n a V i r u s So when I see Someone spelling like a really long word what I do is like I try to capture the first three letters This is not a tip that you should probably do it's just what I'm doing that sometimes work So if they have like a really long word, I'll get like the first three letters And then I'm just try to guess what they're trying to spell from that So for example, if someone's saying like hello All right. Hello my name G o n and then it's just a bunch of stuff and in my head. I'm thinking like okay It's probably like Jonathan. Let's just see if it ends with an a n and if I see like a n I'm like I know what your name is Because I can't spell on the fly that quickly but if it doesn't end on an n and it's like you l or like you z you're Like oh like what is your name? You're gonna have to spell that again for me again do that slow But if it's like, you know co r and it's like a bunch of stuff And I'm thinking oh is it because everyone's talking about the coronavirus I'm bet there's gonna be a lot of ours in here and there's like another r and then it ends on an s You're like kind of coronavirus like I get it. That's that's my strat for long long spelling anyway So spells coronavirus support support group and group the general sign for group is like this If you do it with an f it's a family if you do it with a t it's a team But just general this is group you could do groups with the g sign. This is the letter g But you don't have to so just do like this. It's good. All right Hey, welcome to the spark we see we very oh I didn't catch that first time We very Appreciative thankful to see so many of you guys join join join join and I don't know what the sign is Wonderful Po positive post posts that Help everyone stay I'm I say calm there, but that's may not be the exact word for calm. I don't know what the ASL word for calm is Should we look it up? Let's look it up ASL calm What is what is the what's the sign for calm? Oh it is that oh, okay? I didn't even know so Yeah, I would say You know even if I didn't get the exact word Like we understand what that means Like you don't even need to know sign language to know that so it's the body language or just whoo everyone come down Everyone's freaking out and what's coming down, right? I mean it's the same thing that that is a gimme cool We appreciative to see so many posts Did she say post or so many? People joining and posts and Wonderful posts So we vary I did that in my third episode of the Quest to learn 5,000 words sign language walk through video, but very Right, so we vary She goes like this which is like thank you, but she does it with both hands in my head That's like double thank you. So like that's like very thankful like oh, I'm super super thankful appreciative It's my pleasure. I really really enjoyed that like there's a lot of different ways you can interpret that To see and she does to see the nice way and there are a lot of nice ways to say I saw that I watched that I'm looking at that don't do it like this And this is the bad way. This is the good way. So I'm very happy to see So many People or all of you guys joining join join. This is the sign for join. It's like you're going into a cup So like joining a cup. I know that's weird, but it is that's how I remember it so join join join join join so many people are joining and Wonderful I like wonderful like this, but it's fine. I have to probably that's probably too much jazz hands, but like wonderful Wonderful that's really really good, dude. It almost feels sarcastic when you do it that way. It's like oh, that's good Yeah, that's wonderful, right? I like oh, you're so good. Oh, you did it, right? Oh Okay, but wonderful. That's the best way to do it and then posts posts So think of it as like you have a flyer and you're putting it up on a Telephone pole they had those back in the day and you're like pushing in the push pins and that's like Putting up a sign. So that's a post. All right. Let's keep going Hey, we're making good time. Yeah, we're making great time. Let's keep going post positive post post That oh that was a small one that That but she does it with both hands. Maybe she doesn't just one but you barely you can see it But this means that that so positive posts that Help you help you. This is a journal sign for help help you help me so positive posts that help You or help me well, I forgot the direction that she was doing that in let's see what she was doing That help you everybody Help everyone stay calm Stay calm Stay calm. Hey, you might want to know that one stay calm. I'm I'm just Just Trying I'm just trying to stay try and stay up kind of the same sign stay So I would say I'm just trying to stay calm Let's verify that ASL sign for try looks a lot like stay You oh, it's kind of like it. Yeah, I guess then if that's the case Then it's with the pinky out and here's the ASL sign for stay should be like this with the pinky out Very similar. I was hoping you can like combine the two Still There you go. That's what I'm thinking of So in my head and this is where we get into semantics land I'm interpreting that that sign that we saw as stay calm not still still continue to be calm and There's like little room there. That's generally stay calm. That's fine for me But if I were gonna say I was trying to stay calm I would put out two fists and the pinky fists and then this guy in context. It makes sense So you don't have to be too specific. It's all good. It's all about what you're trying to convey and Less about the exact words because it's a language. You're allowed to play with it a bit. Anyway, let's keep going during This terrible. Ooh, that was a very small this. Did you catch that? I? Want everyone to stay calm Stay calm during this It was very small this terrible During all right call during this ooh so small and then she goes terrible time in our country All right, so during It's like happening, but during this So like this this Unterrible is sort of like dislike. I don't like that. So like like is like I like that dislike is I don't like that Really don't like is I really don't like it. So like terrible terrible time in our That was like lesson number three our Country also lesson number three because it's like you're holding a shield and you're polishing it as like representing what your country Is so like you're polishing your country Polishing the shield that represents your country. Anyway, that's how I remember it All right Want remind This is a journal sign for remind. She's saying I'm reminding everyone thinking of her fingers like a group of different people So I'm reminding all these people Be kind There's like a thousand different ways to sign kind right, but she's saying kind kind of like this But it's the same thing as this and you might see I'll show you exactly what I'm talking about in a ASL textbook ASL for kind you're probably gonna sign a lot so many different ones here Not which kind I meant kind is in like Yeah, this oh don't you dare No ads on this channel, sir No ads on this channel Excuse me not as in the type come on guys Anyway, you probably saw from that thumbnail the guy was going like excuse me The guy was going like this, but she was going like this means the same thing You can't get caught up too much on the signs You have to think more about like the the context and the intent of the person who's trying to communicate with you kind of like if I use slang or if I just had an accent or if I structure my sentences differently to express something with a bit more Emphasis on a certain point than others. Maybe I'm speaking more poetically. Maybe I'm trying to be more concise and to the point Maybe I'm a bit lethargic and I'm I'm just trying to me and maybe I'm hiding like details And I'm speaking around certain subjects. There's a lot of color that goes into How someone communicates and that goes even to sign language So even the difference between this versus this could be regional thing could just be hey, man I'm sitting down. I'm comfortable. I'm just gonna sign right there like this It's all good and that's one of the cool things about sign languages that everyone really kind of does it a little differently And it's interesting once you understand like the scope of it a bit The the character of the person who's trying to talk to you and I get a lot of good vibes from this lady You're good Shelly. You're good. All right, let's go. So anyway avoid posting anything post that Maybe adds more Panic yeah, hey man stop posting misleading information and grass We'll talk about that, but maybe and maybe on the podcast. We actually have a podcast Maybe a good time to plug. I'll put a link in the description we've been talking about coronavirus and a lot of the panic that's been coming about of it largely from people spreading rumors or really bad information and Just adding more fear to a situation that doesn't need it Giving really bad advice. That's actually counterproductive And we can go in that whole tangent anyway Guys CDC has their own YouTube channel. I would recommend that you check them out They don't have the most exciting information But it's in from informative information and in a world where there's 24-hour news people with Agendas and all this stuff just getting it directly from the source means a lot so Don't post things that make people scared post the information from the experts as they're giving it from the source of Where they are getting the information from I think it's the best thing to do and they what I love best about the CDC's Channels that they explain information soberly and and without trying to scare people but in a honest fashion as well and Just really great. I'll put a link for it in the channel anyway and Just avoid just avoid Anything belittling ooh, so this sign means less or least This is like least or like less right, but you could also do this But when you do it like an ink, I'm sorry This is like less with a neutral face. This is like less or like least right But when you do it like an angry face or a sad face It's like dude, you made me feel like a less of a person you like belittled me Made me feel bad. You hurt me and so like this is like in my head belittle. It's like I'm belittling you Um and look at that face It's perfect. It's perfect, right? So this sign is like hey man, you know stop belittling people, right? Like you don't want that you don't want that like belittling sentences belittling phrases anything Xeno phobia Where she can see on the comments belittling comments for example All right, let's talk about that. So for I Want to show you This is a sign for show and this is a sign for So for showing you when you put that together. It means for example. Yeah So for example, hey And so in my opinion, all right, there's you there's your which is like neutral and then there's like back off Which means a different thing so it's all about what the face right so it's like yours. Is this yours? Yours is this yours? No back off, right? Means different things based on how you're saying it and with that expression that she's giving it's like hey less more like Hey, look at that face. Perfect. You're from China Your your fault Yeah, and a lot of people are blaming other people just based Again on really unfortunate Superficial details like Batman. So yeah, man We we are in this mess together as a as a group as a human race Let's recognize that it doesn't help to start, you know Victimizing people just based on what they look like an assumption that you're making All right, let's continue Who she's got that mom face Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. All right That is the face of like oh I came in past curfew and I hope mom doesn't find me and you do you sneak in and she's just in that rolling chair And she turns around she's like did you think I wouldn't notice that you came in past curfew? Look at that We want You your We want you group. Let me see we want this group be Safe for everyone Nice We want we want or we want that's best way of doing it this group Be safe for Everyone do you see how she does that it's like each and every I we we talked about that on the third lesson But the sign for each is like this the sign for every's like this each and every is the one that I'm most Useful I'm used to seeing when people do that, but she's combining everyone rather than like everyone Which is how I would normally see it. I'm I want this for everyone, right? She's like no I want this for everyone. I'm like that's cool use of words right there. I like it. All right Keep all right. Let's keep going.
