English Idioms in ASL
Note: I’m talking about ASL signs using English words to explain. In this post, I’m expanding on what I say in the video because you don’t have the same visuals. I do my best to make it clear how things are signed, but it’s not perfect. Hello and welcome! As you know from the title,Continue reading “English Idioms in ASL”
Gender and Animated Characters | Onward (2020)
Today, I’d like to talk about gender and how it’s portrayed in movies or TV shows. More specifically, animated things. I decided to make this video because I went to see Onward in the theaters with OC before all of this happened. If you weren’t aware, there is a queer character in this movie. AContinue reading “Gender and Animated Characters | Onward (2020)”

ASL Grammar and the Deaf Community
Hello and welcome. Today I want to discuss grammar in the deaf community. This topic came up because I got an email through my website. I will paraphrase the email below, just the main point. I’m a beginner ASL student. When I watch your videos, it seems to me that your signing typically follows EnglishContinue reading “ASL Grammar and the Deaf Community”
Religion and the Deaf Community
*sighs* This is going to be interesting. Hello, I’m Rogan and welcome. Today, as you probably already know from the title, I want to talk a little bit about the religious community and the deaf community. Their…slightly strained relationship over time. I’m not going back to discuss about monks and their sign language and– ThisContinue reading “Religion and the Deaf Community”
