Hello! How are you? I hope that your weekend is good.
Today, I'm sharing something I think maybe some of you don't know that I have...
So, of course you've seen that I'm here on YouTube -- great!!
Here, I teach different topics, sometimes vlog.
I tend to post something once a week, Sundays or Mondays, either night.
Did you know that Instagram, I have, too?
The name is the same: ASL-M-E-R-E-D-I-T-H.
So on Instagram, too, you can find me there!
I share a little bit different from here.
Here on YouTube, the videos can be short or long -- doesn't matter
On Instagram, the videos are short!
The feed tends to be short videos that teach something specific, and then the
stories -- the Instagram stories, I tend to just sign. I tell you a story,
something describing my weekend or what I did, and, that, people like, because it's
good receptive practice -- meaning: I just, you know, think about my life and sign
something, but then you can watch and try to understand!
Plus, I have -- well, they're not closed captions, they're open captions --
subtitles, so I sign and then little at the bottom, is text! Or sometimes above.
Little text has the English, so you can watch and try to understand, and then
check the English! Were you right, wrong? Or maybe you learned a new word, a new sign.
So that's the stories, and then third...
Instagram, every Friday, I post fingerspelling Friday challenge!
That means I fingerspell -- it tends to be three words.
Sometimes a name, sometimes words, it really varies, the topics are really diverse.
I'll fingerspell those three, sometimes four or five.
I fingerspell, the first-time: fast, normal speed.
The second time, I take that first video and put it at half speed,
so the fingers still blend together, but slower.
And the third, is a beginner pace, meaning it's more clear,
the hand shapes are clearly articulated, and slowly.
Many times, there's a fourth part, where I describe those words --
why I picked them, where the names are from,
and, if the words have a sign, I'll teach the sign!
So, anyway, if you didn't know that, on Instagram, you can find me and we can connect!
Here, I'm going to show you an example of a Fingerspelling Friday challenge. Are you ready?
Well, that was Fingerspelling Friday! If you want to join on Instagram and see more,
every Friday, I have different names and words.
Find me there on Instagram, and we can connect. I'll see you there!
