My parents bought me joy of signing book also and that’s how I learned growing up Comment from : TwoTime

This was super interesting I love sign language Comment from : Melissa S

I love this video 😂 it was a genuine moment between sisters and not all "text bookish" lol Comment from : K G

What a great video It's clear to see how your family love you and learned to sign for you As you always say, so many families don't sign so you're very fortunate that yours do If you do another Q&A, I'm curious about what skills your sisters have gained with having a deaf sister, apart from signing? And do they use ASL in other situations? Comment from : Graham Mitchell

I want to learn how to sign now!! Comment from : Hyghly Defyned

Did Ashley learn lip reading? Comment from : Catherine Hazur

Yes! Three, is ecactly what you wou call a baby!brYes look it up, it is tremououse But as yet from any perspective I find that curiouse I find that curiouse Comment from : Samcaracha

Their signing is bad but at least they try Comment from : Jeffrey Furey

TO be honest, sign language is useless Most don't even know it Just write what you want down on a paper and show it to people Comment from : MrPillow

I've watched 1000's and 1000's of videos on YouTube and this video is by far my favorite Love this ❤️ Comment from : Tim Weatherbee

Yes i agree, A 3 yr old is still a baby and learning sign and English and communicating with a deaf sibling is hard Comment from : Soul Scene

Is that ASL they are using or signed English? Comment from : tihi

Omg I was in tears 😭 watching the whole video Comment from : Nazlife

❤❤❤❤ Comment from : aronle Lenora

Love this so much! Comment from : youmeteacoffee

I am noticing the sisters don’t sign ASL, but more like English (which is what I would do myself cuz I just can’t understand AOL) :) Comment from : sshelget

Endah Hallo ya Aku Tak Umur kaki Masih OK Comment from : Endah Endah

Aww that was the cutest part 24:03 Comment from : wolfan

You have very good parents to learn sign and having your sisters also learn sign Your very fortunate as not all hearing parents do that Fantastic This was awesome to see Love it ❤ Comment from : saint333s

Great Video Ashley! I love the dynamic with you and your sisters I am very thankful that you all are there for each other brRob and Vicky! Comment from : Rob Rushing

I hope that one day your family will see you as someone independent who doesn't need them (but who wants them in your lifejust not the same as always; growth brings some changes and that doesn't mean anything lasting is taken away) Loving each other, being part of each other's lives as adults in the same family, wanting to share precious, God-given moments togetherthat's all possible without them continuing to believe that they have to somehow knit you in and "do" for you It is possible just to enjoy each other I pray they let you flourish as someone they adore, admire, and love to the ends of the earth, but will never fully understand bc they won't get out of their own view of you It's not your job to accommodate to everyone's feelings under the label of eternally patient I know you love them and they love you It's ok to grow God calls us to it Comment from : M Ramirez

I need to learn sign language so I'll be able to teach my puppy Comment from : Dogs are a WOMANS Best Friend!

Such beautiful ladies, all of you I bet your house was fun and blessed :) Comment from : GoodPersonTestDotCom

You are a wonderful person, full of love and happiness now I cant stop watching your videos Comment from : Jayson_Boyd

❤ Comment from : K M

As someone who just recently found your profile and I'm learning about you (and from you), I appreciate to also learn what your relationship with your family is and how you all communicate The relationship with your sisters warmed my heart cause you all get along so well and also are able to communicate (and understand) perfectly There were moments were you all laughed cracking a joke and that was so wholesome, I often see and hear this misconception about people thinking hearing and deaf not able to have fun together or understand each other's joke and things like that but you prove them all wrong here And I'm glad!brThank you for sharing, this was so interesting! Comment from : Irvory Syaoran Biksey

I love this video I watch it every once in a while I wish I had siblings! Comment from : Taylor

they can sign as fast as they can speak and thats pretty impressive Comment from : tj1990

Imagine signing while talking becomes a norm We'll see people casually do sign language instead of just moving their hands randomly while doing a presentation Comment from : El Harr

Haha! You three are so awesome, this was so fun and interesting to watch Love it Comment from : Mo

Hey, Ashley, is there a specific sign for your personal name? I couldn't quite catch it when your sisters did it It was very fast Comment from : Rohan

Whoa, you three really look alike I thought Ashley was the one sitting in the middle for a second, but that wouldn’t have made sense! Comment from : YuBeace

This was so wholesome I wish I was close to my family :'( Comment from : tj1990

Hi Ashley Have you considered cochlear transplant? Comment from : Shuaib Jacobs

I feel like Ashley listens to people better than hearing people listen to people Just a quality heart Thanks for sharing, Ashley❤ Comment from : Chai

This whole video is just adorable Comment from : Skullk

While there might be discrimination when it comes to jobs, I'm thinking most people just aren't familiar with interacting with the deaf No doubt a deaf person can have the exact same qualifications and abilities as a hearing person to do certain jobs, especially in a professional setting However, I wonder if a setting like fast food would be more of a challenge for the team, due to the language barrier I'm curious what you would consider an appropriate response to a deaf person if you were an owner of a burger establishment where no one knew sign language Comment from : Violet Joy

14:10 Surprised to know hard of hearing is different from deaf I was told by my teacher that it's rude to say 'deaf' and we should use the term 'hard of hearing' instead Comment from : Jessica G

I used to play Cricket with a group of 4 deaf guys and they would have the music so loud in the car, when I asked why? you cannot hear it they would say we can feel it and they loved it They where really fun to be around always up to mischief Comment from : Rokh &Roll

This is cool but, please talk while your siding Comment from : Zion Thomas

You know what's funny/sad is you would think that's what a parent should automatically do when they find out their child is death, they should immediately learn sign and teach it to their children so they'll be able to communicate with that person who is deaf but unfortunately that's not the case I know someone who has four kids and the only kid that knows sign is the teenager who's 15 the rest of the kids ages 4, 7 and 9 don't know sign at all Sadly it's the teenager who disciplines her siblings the parents can't even communicate with their own kids and it really surprises me, you would think this is something that should be common sense teach your kids the language so they can understand what's going on in their own home Very sad, glad your parents took the initiative Comment from : unicornmadness

So correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that they are all signing in the grammar of spoken English Is this common? I'm learning ASL with an app and it's taught with ASL sentence structure For example: "your-name-what" instead of "what-your-name" Comment from : fuzbcuz

I really like the way these girls look at the situation Good for you ladies Comment from : Crabby Padty

Awesome interview with sisters Beautiful! Thank you for sharing Comment from : k s

Beautiful girls Comment from : reem fayez

“It was like always having a foreign exchange student Always having to interpret” That sister said multiple shitty things 😂 Comment from : Kirk Johns

You guys are so awesome! Comment from : For The Mind

myself Phillipens yes on kick or pick long wala how!!! Comment from : Josefa c ycoy

hey me deaf only we friends thanks on yes deaf up l sorry Comment from : Josefa c ycoy

I hadn't really thought about the job thing I suppose customer service and fast food would be difficult My first job as a teenager was stocking shelves, so something like that should be fine Computer stuff would be fine Career in writing or editing would be good Whar do you do for real estate,? I don't know much about that career Comment from : Rachel Roelands

Sii Comment from : AiRBUZZ-LATAM-9029

Hola Comment from : AiRBUZZ-LATAM-9029

What can you do if you're hands don't work well for spelling even if I know how to hand sign spell? I'm trying to learn to do asl but my hands don't work super good? Comment from : Melissa Kitelinger

Great video I learnt american sign language I was a special education teacherI love sign language I learnt french sign language and israeli sign-language It was great and courageous of your mother to learn sign language, and of course of your two sisters I am "hearing" but always loved sign language Great girls! Comment from : David Barban

It's actually so beautiful of a decision of their dad to make it compulsory for everyone to talk in sign language so Ash is not left out br♥️brAnd that he scolds/reminds anyone who talks without using signs Comment from : Aditya Vaishy

god was being lazy making this family like a teenager plagiarizing Wikipedia and changing a word or two -god:"see! it's a new one!" -people:"you copy pasted the same girl!" -god:"ok i'll tell the first one to bleach her hair :)" Comment from : kar oma

Lightning fast signing is lost on me Comment from : sexyfatbastid

You guys are great! What a wonderful family you have BTW I love your instructional videos too, you make it fun to learn Thank you so much Comment from : D J

😆 My parents where always telling me to turn the TV down because I had it up so loud to hear it Comment from : Dale Henry

My question for your sisters is, do you think having a deaf sister made you more patient/compassionate/a better communicator? Comment from : sweetspicypepper

I'm so interested in learning sign language because I fine it interesting but the opportunity is not there Comment from : Oguds Jitebrown

As someone who’s currently learning ASL, I admire this I love how they all communicate very well with each other I can’t wait until I can sign as fast as the blonde hair one lol She’s a beast! 🤟🏽 Comment from : Alana Johnson

A girl I grew up with was deaf Her parents did not want her to learn sign language but wanted her to read lips and live in the hearing worldbrShe used to sneak signing books into church and wanted to learn They wanted us to just write what the teacher was saying down on a notebook for her It was a very frustrating situationbrWhen I went to college I took sign while I was getting my degreebr I ran into her at church when I went to try out a deaf session She was there and had fully immersed herself into the deaf community It was a beautiful thing to see her happy and communicating brASL is a beautiful language Comment from : Hi, its me

They are so loving All 3 Does seem unfair to the hearing children to do the interpreting at church That must be exhausting & if children are old enough to understand what’s happening at church, they should be able to attend without having a job Comment from : Raz M

I 🤟🏻 this video so much!brI’m learning sign language but I need to practice with someone! Comment from : Jorge Sanchez Tarango

Ashley, I've had the privilege of working with blind students When I would enter the room, they would say "Nice to see you" And that's not considered facetious It's a commonly used phrase, even between two blind students By analogy, I was wondering if someone (whether deaf or not) could be referred to as a "speaker" while they are signing ("Signer" doesn't sound quite right) Also, I noticed that while you're signing, your lips move but there is no vocalization Is this primarily for your benefit or for the person to whom you're signing? Comment from : Dodge Crockett

is Ashley and her parents, and her sisters a christian? please let me know i want to know please! (it would be so cool if she is!!) Comment from : Jaiden TMR

what is your name ,,? Respectfully I am deaf, alike hearing impaired, part, well your signs goes good have a nice care Merry Christmas, Orestes Comment from : Orestes Delgado

Deborah ann wade Comment from : Deborah Wade

Ashley, maybe you can help settle an argument If somebody is fluent in both English and Sign Language, can he legally be classified as "bilingual"? Comment from : Dodge Crockett

I love this video, yall are amazing and i really wanna try to learn sign from your videos and they have helped me so much ❤❤ Comment from : Farida Amr

I'm so in love with Ashley😍😍😍 Comment from : Jonathan White

Good asl Comment from : Joyce Richard-White

This conversation is absolutely fascinating Makes me think more families should pass down sign as a tradition Comment from : Tachyon Beats

They act are obvious a full hearing performance fantastic as English sign language They are a fakers "wish dream alike deaf" We do believe them? No Comment from : Firefalcon

imagine getting to just close your eyes to ignore your sister that’s be awesome 🤣br“sorry, can’t see you” Comment from : moonheart

What a beautiful family! God bless you guys! Comment from : 성래, 수어통역사

Allow me to apologize for the Tulsa booger, I mean, burger man I have lived in Tulsa my entire life and this upsets me so much!!! You are much better than working at any burger joint anyways, and it's awesome to know your friend's dad supported you! You are such an encouragement to everyone! Thank you! Comment from : Adrienne Bewley

So sweet! I love the sisterly bond! Comment from : Dr Kyna Griffith-Henry

So great to see all the support and understanding, and love Comment from : mbiraside

Lindsay's a real pro Comment from : Dodge Crockett

You guys are such an incredibly beautiful family - you're all so blessed to be from such a supportive family ❤️ I loved hearing your perspectives/insights 🤗 Comment from : Kate Burns

Wow this is so special to me I learned to sign just so I could communicate with others specially the deaf It can be lonely sometimes and we can enjoy others who may not communicate like we do It was a blessing to her how their Mom and Dad took classes and taught sisters as well God Bless such great parents Comment from : thepeacemaker

thank you for sharing! i really learnt how to be a better friend Comment from : chanqiuyue

Please make a video from your parents pov on how it is raising a deaf baby I just found out my baby is deaf and would really like to hear their experiences Comment from : top ramen

This was so cool to see! I love how your sisters kind of looked out for you when you were young, signing for you and teaching their friends sign Comment from : My ASL Journey

This was the sweetest (I signed sweet) video ever! I just subscribed Will be back to watch more Comment from : Samantha Alcorn

I’m hard of hearing in my left earHave to wear a hearing aidI find it hard to hear with background noiseI also have a learning disabilitySo found it hard to learn if there was background noiseIn the classroom if there was background noise, so I found it hard to hear the teacher or my aidSame for when I was workingIf my manger was giving my instruction Comment from : Kims Book Corner!

Just a tip: there are 2 ways of signing «ask» the sign when it is a question as in someone is asking a question is you make you index finger in a hook shape and depends on who the question is for so you move the sign to the person The sign they you used is still ask but as in you are requesting something or begging Comment from : Fu Qiu

This is one of my favourite video’s on YouTube There is real love between these three sisters I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting any of you in person but I’m thankful to have an insight into your lives through this medium Your deafness Ashley, while certainly bringing some complication to your life, has also brought joy to others and in return I’m sure to your life The Lord certainly works all things to our good for those that believe in Him! Comment from : UnderSouthernStars

Omg they look like twins Comment from : Chula92

In our school some of the students who are deaf have parents who are not English speaking They are learning English and they don't speak English so they can't go to the ASL classes which are taught in English it's rough! And heartbreaking Sometimes they try but learning two languages at once is really hard Comment from : April O

I have so many friends in the Deaf community and it makes me sad to think of all the kids that go to family stuff and just sit in the corner and are ignored I have such love for this family Comment from : Kori Emerson

this family is adorable Comment from : SmashTactics

I love your sisterhood 😭💕 I'm learning sign even though I don't know anyone to sign with me every week Comment from : Acelyne Parco

I find it funny how she turns the music all the way up in the car 😂 Comment from : Clara B
