as a hearing student, the more ASL I learn the more I wish everyone could sign! sometimes other hearing people mouth words slowly to try and communicate silently or through a window and I never understand it, lipreading is so damn hard T-T

It's so cute how your dog is so interested in your signs! it took him like half the video before he realized you weren't talking to him xD

I remember when I was younger noticing two people signing while waiting for a train to pull out, one was inside the train and the other was on the platform. I thought that was hella awesome, something people who don't know sign language wouldn't be able to do. They were just so chill and having a long and detailed conversation, which passed the time and was obviously a nice way to say ciao before the train pulled out.

As a HOH person who is only becoming immersed in ASL and the Deaf community (hearing upbringing) at 15, life is so much easier now that I can sign. I also feel a lot less alone in my experiences! Finally I know people who can understand my problems and stuff.

Sadly I’m the unfortunate one not having access to ASL because of a hearing parent. And learning at my local community college I’m sorta conflicted when a hearing people learn asl for both negative n positive reasons. I think most ASL classes should include deaf history because a many few don’t understand they can’t make their own sign names cursing in asl is funny

I can tell you're a film student, Chrissy. The quality, framing, lighting, and editing on this are spectacular! Well done. I can't wait to see your full productions one day. By the way, feel free to contact me for professional open captioning when your schedule gets hard to keep up with. I do that professionally and I'd provide that to you for free. P.S. Willow is the cutest.

I am Hungarian and hard of hearing myself. I've been learning ASL (more from a Sign Supported English heavy perspective to get used to signing more) and Hungarian Sign Language and my dream is to become an interpreter / translator. That's the good thing about learning two different sign languages that I can translate too. Can't wait to learn more. I always loved sign language since I have been introduced to it as a child and wanted to learn it straight away but unfortunately there aren't many opportunities to learn in my country, especially as a child ir adolescent. As I had more and more hearing loss the more it interested me. I think it's fascinating how different ASL BSL and HSL are. They are all very beautiful. I have been following you for a while and just love your energy and your attitude to life. Can't wait to see more of you and the content you create. 🤟🏼

Hi there! I just started watching some of your videos and they've been really helpful! I am hearing, but I've been losing my voice. Communicating has been a challenge and so I started learning ASL. Made me realize how important it is in every day use even if I am hearing. I wish they could have taught us this in school

I see how good these are. I sleep well, I have minor hearing loss so I will hear plane. I try to hear people but don’t catch all that’s said. Learning ASL but it’s challenging me. Love it though.

So lovely to see another one of your videos! I've been holding off on taking more ASL classes until I can take them in person but I've been finding your videos to be super helpful in making sure that I don't lose all of my vocabulary. Thanks for injecting this bit of positivity into a tough time! :D

Finally some positive things being said about deafness! Love the video! P.S. I recommend you get someone to Accurately caption your videos, your voice isn't too bad but there are words that are a bit harder to understand and you sign quite fast. You can just have a family member do it if you can. (This was not meant to sound rude but I understand if it does seem rude, but I mean for this to be polite)

This was awesome to watch! I'm trying to pick up more ASL and seeing common signs in conversation really helps! Also fascinating to learn about your experience of course :]
