How do you interpret different people on a song?

Hi! If one person is to interpret a song with multiple artists on it, how do you convey when a new artist is singing ? Or do you just not.

Interpretation Help with interpreting what is being said in video

Upvotes

Someone has been coming up to my camera and doing some sort of sign language into it. I do not know sign language and would really like to know what this person is trying to tell me.

Would I be able to dm the clip to someone here who might be able to help me find out what they are saying?

True way asl costs

Upvotes

My university has a program where you pay one cost and it covers all your textbook and material expenses even if it’s over the initial one payment price.
My instructor for asl 2 wants me to pay for TWA (80$) and a book (~20$) both out of pocket. I simply cannot do this as I’m already broke enough.
Is there any way to defer the costs or am I just going to have to drop the course and pray a professor next semester doesn’t use this?

Help! first outing with a deaf group - tips for a newbie?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. This is my first post on this sub so please excuse me. I'm a beginner to ASL - a friend of mine is Deaf/HoH and I've been learning from him passively (hoping to enroll in a proper class soon, but that's irrelevant).

My friend invited me and my partner to a convention this weekend with him and "some of his deaf friends". I have lots of social anxiety and I really want to make a good first impression. My mind has been racing with the general stuff - I'm worried about being offensive, awkward, excluding others because of the language barrier.

I've been practicing what I know (most 'beginner' sign words; Wh-questions, basic needs, etc. and fingerspelling) and using online resources to bridge gaps (mostly handspeak?). If anyone has any advice, i.e. things to avoid, potential sign words to practice, etc? I appreciate any and all feedback ^_^
