#MMMM Two Songs in Sign Language
When I was in college, I majored in Speech Pathology and Audiology. I actually took a sign language course and consider it another language that I partially speak. My friend and I used to love walking through campus signing to each other. It was worth it for the funny looks. As I searched for songs with signs, this was the first one to come up. I like it. I'll bet others do too. I'm going to post it and pay attention to my visits. Kathy and I never could sign this quickly or understand something that fast, either.
"Shut Up and Dance" in sign is a first for me to see here today. I felt a bit at a loss with the theme and wasn't nearly as clever at coming with some good song choices. That's cool you took a sign language course in college. I would've liked to learn how years ago but now I just admire those who can do it. Thanks for the boogie!
Love your choices... there's a lot of duplicates today! As Cat said the Shut Up & Dance.. was a first.. so that's cool. That was a great and wow you know other languages too plus you took sign? That's so cool. At least if you ran into someone you can communicate. I remember they use to hand out these little pamphlets that had sign language on it when I was little and I tried so hard to learn, but memory still isn't any good. Sheesh! Have a rockin' week my friend! Great job!
Watching the various videos for this theme is really making me wish I knew ASL. I try to associate signs with words and it is just so hard - I enjoyed "Shut Up and Dance" it's one I had to crank the volume on instead of trying to experience the video without the sound, as I've been doing with songs I already know.

Shut Up and Dance is a great song. It's new to me and I'm really liking it! Very cool that you know ASL and took a course in college. Do you still know it? I took a speed-reading course in college and I still use it, particularly the retentions skills I learned from it.
I took a Zumba class...Once! I was told that the instructor, who was subbing for the regular instructor, was doing advanced stuff and maybe I should've given it another try when the regular gal got back. But my ankle was a mess back then too (still is, except now I've had surgery on it) and there was way too much ankle work involved. I love to dance and have been dancing all my life but Zumbe just wasn't for me... I can see this being a good song for it though...
A couple of good choices here! A lot of times, the signer is just improvising (even I can tell, and I don't speak ASL), but not in these cases.

Nice songs well done!
ReplyDeleteSo you speak some other languages as well?
ReplyDeleteSigning to each other was good practice too. :)
ReplyDeleteFun songs, and she signs them so well!

ReplyDeleteFight Song is on my play list. It is really powerful with the sign language. Cool find.
