Hello everybody! So, today we're going to be getting a little extra fingerspelling
practice, so let's go ahead and practice the basics!
Welcome to another fingerspelling practice video and today's video is
actually the fourth in this series if you happen to miss the previous three
I'll go ahead and put them in a link up above you know in a card up above and
then in the description down below so today I will be going over another
three names at three different speeds the first one's going to be at an
advanced speed the second will be at an intermediate speed and then the last
will be at a beginner speed so fast medium and slow and if you can go ahead
and pause the video after I sign the the name and if you understood it go ahead
and put your answer in the comment section down below and also really quick
from the last fingerspelling practice video I did I want to congratulate Zoey
where she was the first one to answer all three names correctly down in the
comments so congratulations and keep up the great work
so with that said let's go ahead and start with the first name the first name
is again and one more time
if you understood that name go ahead and pause the video type your answer in the
comments down below and when you're finished well go on to the next name the
second name is again and one more time
if you understood that name go ahead and pause the video and put your answer down
in the comments down below the third name is again one more time
if you understood that name feel free to pause the video and put your answer down
with the comment section down below and I do want to highlight a question
that I have received in the past and this is a really valid question because
sometimes you will see minor variations on the way things of fingerspelled are
actually that the hand shapes that are representing of the letter and so like
for example the letter e you'll commonly see two different ways so you'll see it
like this to where the thumb is all the way across the fingers and then you'll
also see it like this where there's a gap and sometimes you'll see different
gaps and this is actually referenced to as like a screaming e versus like a
closed E and the other one is the letters m and n so you'll see em like
this or you'll see em like this you'll also see the letter n like this or like
this and really it's a matter of preference there's not a right or wrong
way of signing these letters it's just a variation that you'll come across and
before you leave I do want to invite you to a weekly practice session that I'm
hosting this Wednesday many students I find that have a difficult time finding
others to practice with particularly during this quarantine and many classes
are shut down and whatnot so I decided that I'm going to go ahead and try to
facilitate a place for people to come together and practice what they've been
learning and so if that's something that interests you feel free to go ahead and
click in the link in the description down below and they're free to join and
they're include students of all various levels we have beginners intermediates
advanced we have interpreters and so whatever your level is feel welcome to
join us and those are free that we're hosting on
every Wednesday night at 5 p.m. Pacific and again if you want some more details
on what it is and how to join I'll leave a link in the description down below and
another thing that I've been offering in the month of April just to assist with
everybody going through this Cove in nineteen crisis together is some free
one-on-one sessions and so if that is something that you're interested in I'll
leave a link to that in the description down below basically it's a program that
helps others overcome various challenges when it comes to learning
language and so whether it's you need somebody to practice with or you need a
little extra help with vocabulary or grammar or maybe you just want to
accelerate the whole learning process that's something that we've helped
hundreds of students overcome and finally achieve that sign language
fluency that they're after so if you're somebody that is struggling with the
language and it just wants to get past the struggles and start communicating
feel free to reach out to us and we would love to meet you something else
that might be really helpful to if you're learning a new language that you
can actually apply to learning any language is an interview I conducted
with Julianne Russell who's fluent in four languages and is a language teacher
herself and we did a nice long interview going over different ways to approach
language learning and really how to accelerate that process and overcome
various challenges when it comes to learning a new language and so I'll go
ahead and leave a link for that in the card up above and in the link down in
the in a link in the description down below and so I guess that's it for today
and until next time I'll see you later and take care bye
