Foundation of ASL, What?
Toby explains in ASL Vlog about why there are so many ignorant teachers and people mishandle ASL when they don't know the foundation of ASL! There are three foundations to support ASL as language and why it is so valuable!

Agreed, Toby.
If ONE of the parameters of a sign changes, the entire meaning of a sign CHANGES. The signs you showed: CHURCH as opposed to CHOCOLATE illustrates it quite well.

Yes, I agree with you 100%. I noitce some Deaf instructors are not strong ASL users so they seem they do not know the depth of ASL. That's sad. Also, don't forget that there are some hearing instructors who teach ASL in US. Yikes!
Thanks for bringing up.

Perfect your describe!

Beautiful and Excellent!
I like the way you explained to us all about ASL. Please keep explaining us about ASL.
Thanks so much for giving us all a chance to understand our own language, ASL!

Outstanding!
Beautiful information as well!
We alll NEED you and Carl and we're still in the strong unity to cherish ASL for our next generations to come!
Well said, Tomby! Kudos!
Excellent job!!! You are right many of Deaf community think they know but they do not know how ASL works in its own structure!!! I am glad you educate many of Deaf community as well as other who might interest in understanding of how ASL work in itself!!!
Yay, good to see you back! Yes please do keep on vlogging and educate the others how ASL is a language. It is sorely missed!
I always enjoy your vlogs and have used them in my ASL classroom as well. I find it very interesting to see the different opinions from the comments about who should teach ASL and who shouldn't. I am a hearing instructor who values and studies to know the foundations and rules to both ASL and English. Deafjoe3 says that hearing ASL teachers in the US is scary; but how is that different from Deaf teachers teaching English? Respect for both languages in general is what is key.
Toby, keep posting, teaching, and being open-minded enough to impact across cultural barriers! Hope to see you at another conference soon, too. You rock!
