Toddler Twins signing ASL!

In Fall of 1980, Roger and I were 1 1/2 year old. We were in Montreal with Dad and he took us to visit Grandpa's workplace at CBC Studio. In the studio, we could see ourselves on the TV besides the videocamera. We could see what you see in the videoclip and we are signing about what we see.

Observe how we already have right-hand dominance in our ASL signing and how the dexis handshape (pointing finger) can express so much information.

On the blackboard, Dad successfully used ASL to start teaching us English.

Also, see how I use my face expression to reflect what Roger's emotion is.

Thanks Dad for getting us into the Deaf & ASL community at a such early age! _\,,/

ASL ROCKS!



P.S I will be creating and posting subtitled and commentary versions of this videoclip in the near future.
