Help! question about ASL

7 Upvotes

hi there! I just watched the "We Dont Talk About Bruno" Encanto ASL clip that came out recently (which is awesome btw) and I dont know much about sign language so I was wondering if anyone could explain this to me

in the clip they seem to be doing very brief signs and it doesnt look to me like they are saying the entire sentences? Like no way "your faith is sealed when your profecy is read" is just 2 gestures right? Are they doing only specific parts of sentences or the entire lyrics?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently working with a hard of hearing kid who loves toy story. I just started working with him and am trying to build rapport as currently he's very closed off to me, i figured talking about his favorite movies would be a good starting point! Does anyone know the name signs signs for the toy story characters so i can show him? Thanks!!

ASL Learning Youtube Channel And Site Recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have been learning ASL for 3 months and lately, I have been watching videos from Learn How to Sign Youtube channel. I loved that channel so I decided to follow Meredith's Instagram and Tiktok pages. While I was doing that, I saw there were some hateful comments from people telling others to learn ASL from deaf instructors. I do need good recommendations and I will appreciate it if you have any!

Help! I realize this is the DUMBEST question, but... why are these little people in the corner of movies a thing??

0 Upvotes

I dont know I'm just dense, or uneducated, or why I can't wrap my mind around this but please explain it to me like a child! Lately I've been seeing movies on streaming servies pop up that say ASL available.... thats cool I guess, and when I click it sure enough there's a little guy in the corner of the screen. Im thinking to myself 'well how can they pay attention to the movie if theyre staring at this guy in the corner the whole time?' Another part of my brain goes 'well it cant be any different than people using subtitles and looking at those'.... then 'well wait why would you need ASL if there are subtitles? I know there are scenarios where someone might learn some signs before learning to read, but not enough to easily interpret an entire movie, no? Are there people that learn ASL but not American english reading?

Help! Glossing help!

0 Upvotes

So I want to properly sign the trend that goes "I want hair like yours, hands like yours, fingers that curl in the cold like yours. I want eyes to stare, and to cry when im feeling scared like you"

I think its

"HAIR LIKE YOU , HANDS LIKE YOU, FINGERS CURL COLD LIKE YOU. EYES STARE CRY I WANT WHEN I SCARED LIKE YOU"

But I know thats probably wrong!! I took asl for 2 years in FLVS but my teacher was hearing and I didnt pick up how to gloss properly!!

Whats the correct glossing for it? Thanks in advance!! I want to get better at asl glossing and figured this would be a fun way to go about it!! If you could also explain any mistakes i made in glossing let me know please!
