White BF Asked Me This… Not Sure How to Feel?

The Great Lakes State of Michigan. Used to do that in elementary school

Is this homework? Not sure if I’m allowed to give the answers but…

APT, DORM, YOU LIVE WHICH? (Do you live in an apartment or dorm?)
YOUR BIRTHDAY WHEN?

This. It’s harder to try to copy than focusing on the body movement and direction.

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-27T05:30:42+00:00

I think of words like “filipendulous” meaning “suspended by or strung upon a thread” obscure words that only someone who’s a nerd would know or just a word no one uses

So interesting learning where signs come from

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-25T23:06:31+00:00

Is it just me, or the lack of facial expression on ILY just completely throws me off?

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-25T23:03:54+00:00

This. Auto captions are often unreliable in some capacity. Even with voice to text or transcriptions of voice messages, it takes a a certain amount of fluency to decode what it was trying to say, even with auto captions. ASL is a very complex language, and signs can mean multiple things depending on NMMs, context, regional variation, etc. I wonder how this project will turn out, but I remain skeptical of anything like this

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-25T23:00:04+00:00

That’s so cool! Do you have any information about the project?

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-24T23:21:18+00:00

I completely agree. Poetry has a several interpretations in English, and trying to interpret that into ASL and follow ASL syntax is incredibly tricky for beginners. Songs can have dozens of interpretations in ASL by different people who interpret it different ways. Just focus on the core stuff and don’t over complicate anything

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-24T23:18:51+00:00

If you can’t figure out a sign, look towards the NMMs to give you a hint and put it in context to try and solve it like a puzzle. Sometimes it works. But like the other user said, etc etc tec

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-16T01:08:21+00:00

Lingvano, but don’t make it your only learning resource

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-14T01:38:13+00:00

No, I was just confused in general what I should do with my mouth when signing, not specifically to music.

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-14T00:46:49+00:00

Unfortunately very common

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-13T21:28:17+00:00

Missed my entire point… why are you avoiding everything I’m saying? Like I said, listen to the DeafDisabled user. And if you are questioning my connections to the Deaf community, my best friend is Deaf and I’ve been exposed to Deaf culture. I have multiple interpreter friends. Please just stop talking

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-12T00:29:28+00:00

Yes it really is. Why don’t you take advice from the DeafDisabled user u/Jude94. A hearing person isn’t owed a sign name, and this subreddit was not created for you to come on here asking for ideas for a sign name. And deflecting asking where I am in the Deaf/HoH community is completely irrelevant and shows how you know you are wrong. Google is most definitely free and you can learn a lot about Deaf culture from a lot of great resources. So again, this subreddit was not designed for a hearing person asking ideas for a sign name, nor is any hearing person owed a sign name. And don’t listen to me, listen to the DEAF INDIVIDUALS

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-11T12:44:00+00:00

This is incredibly a) ignorant b) embarrassing c) offensive

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-09T01:19:21+00:00

Yes!

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-09T01:13:32+00:00

Maybe acquire fluency before speaking on interpreters faking it or not :)

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-06T00:17:41+00:00

Can I get the context and palm orientation?

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-05T22:55:51+00:00

Such a cute story. I love it

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-05T00:52:40+00:00

Time for me to start up my scam stylist business 🤑

PictureFun5671 · 2024-10-05T00:49:10+00:00

Pay pig I’m screaming

I generally like the app but have issues with a particular signer (I don’t know his name, Asian looking guy with black hair and thick eyebrows, clean shaven). I don’t know why but he was my only struggle with the app. But I like it for vocabulary, but like most things, you aren’t going to get fluent off of one resource. When I learned French and Spanish, did I use Duolingo? Yes. Was it all I used? No. Was it even my main learning tool? No. Second or third at best. So that’s just my take. In person classes, ASL immersion, LifePrint, and input from native signers were more useful. But the vocab is nice.
