Hello! Happy New Year!
Now, the new year -- 2020. Wow, 2020...
That feels like the future is here, it's arrived! Right? Crazy.
Every year, what do I do?
My goals, my hopes, my wants -- I think about it,
I write them down. This year I have many goals; I'm gonna share one with you,
and this one is important for you!
This new year, I want 52 videos here on YouTube.
So I want to vlog 52 times. I hope -- my plan -- is that it's weekly.
I tend to share on Sunday or Monday,
so you can check every Sunday or Monday, there should be something there.
What do you prefer? Do you prefer Sunday nights or Monday morning, afternoon...
What do you prefer? Let me know, comment!
So anyway, I tend to post at that time, once a week.
That's the goal for the new year.
Maybe every week, maybe not, but 52, that's the number: 52, I must do.
Oh! And if you want to influence that -- my video topics, what I teach here,
or maybe more vlogging -- natural conversation.
If you want to influence that, tell me what YOU want, I have a survey!
So please respond! You can find it up in this corner... I think there, no --
Over here -- I think it's that one.
And if it's not there, then down below in the video's description. That has the link.
And if not, you can't find it, that's fine! Simply go to ASLMeredith.com -- easy.
It only takes one or two minutes, that's it.
It's not a lot, so please tell me what your goals are, what you want to learn,
and if you want my videos to stay or change, how? So thank you!
So anyway, my 2020, that one goal involves 52 YouTube videos -- new videos for you.
I'm excited and also nervous. I'm nervous to tell you this, why?
Because now you know! If I miss or forget or I get busy...
Well, you can punish or criticize.
So, I'm nervous but also excited, because I feel like this new year will be more about connection.
If I have more videos, more conversations, comments, discussions,
I look forward to connecting with you, so thank you.
And, of course, I also hope that my videos meet your needs, what *you* want to learn,
And that's my confession! I'm letting you know in 2020, it'll be a big year for here on YouTube.
And now it's your turn! Your turn -- 2020 what is *your* goal?
Do you have a resolution, something you want to commit to doing?
Let me know in the comments! Let's discuss.
Maybe your goal is related to ASL, and maybe not.
Doesn't matter! I'm still curious.
And, if your goal *is* related to ASL, and you want to improve,
remember: I have a beginner course! I offer an ASL for beginners, an online class,
which means you stay home, it's on your schedule, whatever works for you, you decide.
The pacing, if you want to go quickly or slowly, all of that -- doesn't matter, up to you!
And that, you can find, again, in this video's description.
There's the link, up in the corner again, or at ASLMeredith.com/course
That class is still open now, but at the end of January,
I'm closing enrollment again until probably the summer.
And that's because I want to support current students.
So for the new month of January, class is still open,
And you can still access and enroll, and get started.
And that's it for the new year!
I'm excited, entering 2020 with you.
In 2020, I hope that your year is good, that you're healthy,
and that your goals, you succeed!
Happy new year. Thank you for joining me here and learning ASL with me,
and for your comments, your emails, really I appreciate you and I value you.
Thank you for being here! Don't forget to comment with your goals!
Happy New Year, and I'll see you next week. Bye!
