Here's one of my favorite stories to tell. Notice the role shifts and how aware I keep things at. Very important! Story: "I'm going to tell you a story. So a wood cutter goes to the forest looking for wood, well, trees to cut wood for winter. So he/she goes walking, stops, and sees a nice tree. So he/she gets the ax and starts swinging, hitting it, and says 'TIMBERRR' the tree falls. He/she watches/examines it and says 'nice', and he/she goes on and continues walking, and stops and sees a big tree! He needs this tree So he gets his ax and starts cutting away. He/she says 'TIMBERRR' but nothing, the tree still stood. 'Hmm weird' thought the wood cutter. Again, 'TIMBERRR'. The tree wouldn't budge, nothing. So he/she searches online locates a tree expert and gives the expert a call. The tree expert answers 'Hi, need help?' Wood cutter replies 'Yes, I have a problem. There's this tree that wont fall.' Expert then says 'Oh really? Well that's weird. Let me go take a look.' 'Okay, see you later". Here comes the tree expert. He comes and sees the tree. 'Hmm, yes I see. I know. That tree is deaf", the wood cutter confused 'What??? The tree is deaf?' 'Yes, you need to finger-spell' 'Oh, okay..." so the wood cutter starts to sign at the tree 'T-I-M-B-E-R' and it falls!!! Finished (The end)".

"Recently, I saw the movie 'Ant-Man and the Wasp'. I liked it. I think you should go watch it." You were close! I hope you learned some new signs from this.

Here's what it'd look like if I had said that @Rose McCormick

No problem. Any time!

"Hi Rose, good question. I'm going to show you the difference. First, I'd sign "look/see view" again, "look/see view" (look at the view). Next, "me look/see movie". Or (second way) "watch movie".

I'd fingerspell "band" before signing "America". So in ASL: "Me love band 'America'"

Sorry! I messed up. Okay, let me try again. I'm still learning. Okay so... I would sign "Me look-up you [Why?] become better actor. Not only because you deaf, but because you not scared to be (same as 'become') yourself." Okay, good. That was good. Sorry!

Hi Matthew, that was good, but too much English (being used). I would sign, "Me look-up you become better actor. Not only because you deaf, but because you not scared to be (same as 'become') yourself." I hope this helps.

ASL: Hi Angleo. You learn ASL why? Me learn why? Degree Requirement, plus me like English: Hi Angelo. Why are you learning ASL? I am learning it because it is a degree requirement plus I like it

That’s too bad, my school goes up to ASL 3. I heard others go up to 5! Thank you!

Are you going to take ASL 3?

Sorry about my serious face. I was trying my hardest not to mess up the song and translation.
