Hello everybody. My name is Chris, and today we're going to be doing a little extra finger
spelling practice. So stay tuned and let's learn the basics.
As I mentioned, today we're going to be getting in a little extra finger spelling practice.
I know a lot of us are pretty comfortable with doing finger spelling expressively, but
it's our receptive skills that many times need a little extra practice. So today I'm
going to be finger spelling three different names at three different speeds. I'll finger
spell them at a fast speed, a medium speed, and a slow speed. That should be suitable
for beginners.
So let's go ahead and get right into it. So the first name is going to be...
At a medium speed.
And at the slowest speed.
If you understood the finger spelling of that name, go ahead
and pause the video right now, and go in the comments and type in that name.
Here comes the second name.
Again.
And one more time.
Okay. So if you understood that name, again, go ahead and pause the video and put that
name down in the comments down below. And here comes the last and final name for today.
Again.
One more time.
Okay. So that's the last name for today. If you understood that
name, go ahead and pause the video and put that name down in the comments down below.
I hope you found today's video helpful, and if you want more receptive finger spelling
practice videos like this, be sure to like the video so I know to make more of these.
If you had a little bit of a hard time and you need to go back and re watch some of those
names, there's nothing wrong with that. And actually, the more practice, the better. And
if you want a little more extra practice, I do have some other finger spelling receptive
videos, which you can get to in the card up above, and I'll also leave a link in the description
down below.
And as I am recording this it's actually February 28th, 2020, which means tomorrow is going
to be February 29th, 2020. So one of the things that most of us feel like we don't have enough
of is time. And this year we have that rare gift of time and get an extra 24 hours, a
whole extra day, added to our year. So I put together a little article called "A Rare Gift"
up on the website. If you want to get to it, I'll leave a link to it in the description
down below. But in that article, I just have some fun ideas of what you can do to really
fully utilize that extra time. And I added some things books you can read in a day, and
some things that you could learn, or try something new. So if you want to check out that article,
and also I have a list of those books that you can read in a day, I'll leave all that
stuff in the links, in the description down below.
So what's really cool about this leap year in particular is that Leap Day falls on a
Saturday. So it really gives us this opportunity to go outside of our comfort zone, or try
something new, or learn something new. And I'm actually pretty excited that I was able
to work with Skillshare. And if you haven't heard of them, they're this online subscription
based service, but it's all classes. And so I have a link down in the description down
below that will give you two free months of access to all of their classes. And they have
classes on ASL, they have classes on how to learn how to draw, photography, film editing,
even how to learn musical instruments. So there's a lot of fun classes; it's completely
free, if that's something that you might want to spend doing this Leap Day, or really anytime
time going forward. And that link will give you unlimited access to all their classes
that they have, and there's thousands of them, so there's lots of stuff that you can dive
into.
So I'm really excited to offer that to all of you. And if you're interested in supporting
this channel so we can continue to make more free educational content, please feel free
to drop by our Patreon page. And we also organize group practice sessions on a monthly basis.
If that's something that you struggle with, finding others to practice with, we organize
and put students together of similar skill levels, so they can get that practice. And
also, we have a one on one tutoring and one-on-one classes. If any of those things sound interesting
to you, just feel free to visit the page, or feel free to reach out directly to me at
chris@aslbasics.com. So if you found this video helpful at all, please go ahead and
like and subscribe. You can bring that bell notification, so that way you're updated anytime
we upload something new. And until next time, I'll see you later. Bye.
