I knew the guy was deaf
same haha
I thought both was deaf
I'm real deaf
Now you know mate...being Deaf is 95% expressional... give or take!
This is the first short film I've seen with a deaf guy instead of a deaf girl
I'm deaf in one ear
@@aaliyahmatteo5462 who asked?
@@filoofox9934 shut up 🖕
Aaliyah Matteo why? bcs u want fame for a minute nobody cares if ur deaf on one ear bcs nobody asked
@@filoofox9934 I'm just saying that I know what it's like to be deaf so stfu
I have a crush on a deaf guy and I’m learning sign language to surprise him and to talk to him more because I really like him🥺
Liyah Diana me too! :)
I hope you told him by now since I just noticed you commented 5 months ago...I hope all went well ;o)
Oh my gosh that’s so sweet
Liyah Diana Did it work out?
A hard of hearing girl had a massive crush on me,but I had extreme social anxiety,I was scared to approach her...and iginored her....I want to meet her again,and maybe become friends.
I'm deaf and my boyfriend is hearing. We have been dating for over 2 years. Are 3 year anniversary is in October. He learned sign language 4-5 years ago just so he could communicate better with me.
I'm hard of hearing but my boyfriend was born deaf. I'm learning Asl to communicate with him better. :)
If you are deaf then how did you manage to speak and write
@@iqraali7490 It takes years of Learning and Practise like at school, plus we have to learn normal every day stuff ok
The cute thing ever, I wanna learn sign language
Happy anniversary
Moral of the story: everyone should learn sign language! If they offered an ASL class in high school, I would have taken it.
Me too. I really want to learn but they don't offer it
@@lydias376 #Dr. Bill Vicars has free lessons on KZhead! I am HOH (Hard of Hearing) and that is where I learned a lot of mine!
Linda Smith Bill Vicars is soooooo good :) Great resource 🤟
Zack Munoz 👍
Once in a lifetime by Danielle steel is great to watch for deaf communications.
I love how you subverted the typical formula of the Deaf character being the one crushing on the hearing person. At first I was worried that it was going to be just another lukewarm cliché. When it became clear that it was the guy who was Deaf and the girl was pursuing him, it honestly flipped the script for me. As a Deaf person, that seemingly small detail means a lot. It's rare that we're depicted as desirable outside our own community, without it becoming some kind of overzealous parable about acceptance. So thank you for your work, and thank you for sharing!
Samuel B Thank you so much! ☺️
Samuel B I just want to learn sign language but kinda busy to do that
I think everyone really thinks highly of people who are deaf. So many people would love to be able to communicate with sign but schools choose to teach Spanish instead 🙄 I used it a lot with one of my students who was not deaf but couldn't speak. Its definitely a use it lose it skill unfortunately
I'm autistic (high functioning autism/Asperger) and I know the feeling. Abled people suck and if you're different from them they see you as undesirable. Personally, I find deaf people interesting because of the sign languages (sooner or later I'm gonna learn at least one of them, if I get the chance.), and because I'm interested in how the human mind works and I'd be curious to have the chance to know how living with no sounds and no verbal language affects it.
@@desakputurakaparamita954 hi their are many videos online where you can watch and begin learning the basics. Check out Bill Vicars and Rochelle Barlow. Their signs are fairly accurate to what I am learning in ASL 2 soon to be ASL 3. I started wanting to learn sign since the 4th grade. H teacher had the alphabet in English and ASL that's where I became curious/interested. I'm 27 now and finally living it. I truly love doing as well as the culture and I'm sure you will also! Best of luck and I hope this helps you take the next step 🤟💓
That happened to me too. It was hard for me talking girls because I’m not good at talking. I can talk but not good at perfect English. I’m born deaf. I can read people’s lips. I learned on it so hard. So I remembered that I saw a beautiful girl playing on the pool and I wanted to say hello to her but I was so nervous because I thought what if she’ll think I’m weird because of my speech. I looked at her and she looked at me back. I smiled at her and she did it back too. She came to me and said hey. I said hey too. She realized that I’m deaf. I asked her if we can talk more. She gave me her number then next day, I had to meet her again. When I see her, she talked to me with sign language. She knows that I can read her lips but she wants to use sign language with me so it’s easy for me understand her. It took her learn how to use sign language a week. She learned so fast. We were in so love and are together for two years. It’s so amazing. Y’all, who are deaf, don’t need to give up. Just take your time and enjoy your life. Life is not always perfect.
Awww, that's so sweet, thanks for that Huge encouragement, it means alot to me who is learning how to communicate it sign language. 😊🤟😇🤗
Same
Wow that's so sweet.. God bless always ..!! 😊👍
♥
Who else thought the girl was deaf
Kayla Ludwick on the thumbnail it showed the guy so it would be more obvious that the guy was blind
Kayla Ludwick I also thought 😅
you mean deaf? :)
I did 😂
me!
I would have gone home and studied sign language for a guy I thought was cute but couldn't hear!! The right guys are worth the work!
All I hear is from your mouth is: superficial superficial and more superficial~ Yeah, make sure to only pay attention to CUTE GUYS~ Leave the ugly deaf people to suicide am I right? ~ Pathetic.
Z. Turniap I think she’s or he is saying that she would’ve learned sign language for that guy bc he was the right one and would’ve put in the effort for him because he can’t hear
These people are blessed, they see people from inside not outside........what makes you special, huh.....??
Servicedog Buddy YO YES!!!
jada bolinsky do you know how much these people are blessed.......how can you say something about anyone without knowing them....??
I've seen many of these short films with a hearing boy and a deaf girl. This by far is the best. Thank you very much.
i like coding
I though they're both deaf and at the end they gonna realize that both of 'em cant hear anything and starts talking in sign language
Im so glad I learned sign language at a young age, both my grandma and grandpa were deaf. We never used pen and paper, they taught us. They are gone now, but I still use it today at my job and have a few deaf customers, they are a joy when they come in and are happy that I can talk to them. U never forget it if u still use Asl.
I'm deaf and this has really made me confident
k Downes my mother is deaf to .
OMG!! thank you so much for the like!! this is my first like ever.
You welcome! My mum is deaf so is my dad so that was the reason
k Downes can ask about your name? My real name is Hannah from dubai.
Mine is klara from essex
Omg when she went back for the paper so she could speak to him my heart melted!!!!
Though I have other disabilities in my life I can only imagine the daily struggle of being deaf. The reality is I haven't experienced it - all I can say is congratulations, you are amazing.
Nice, tbh im hard of hearing and my gf deaf we love each other we been together in 10 years when I was 7 grade and she was 6 grade and still together 🙂 Robert+Angie

Hii
Roberto Lopez underaged dating, and it still is
Damn! Ten years since a young age??!
I am hearing, but find Deaf Culture really fascinating and am in my second semester of learning ASL. It is such a unique and expressive language! I love that it is all visual and can be more expressive and abstract than most languages!
This tears at my heart. All she had to do was write to him to make a connection. Why can’t more hearing people do that!
I m deaf .... this video melts my heart 💗 still watching dis kind of videos.... Great job guys...TY fr making dis video while no one cud direct dis kind of videos....
My girlfriend is deaf and she teaches me to sign. Now I can communicate with her using sign language.
I love watching videos like this. My met my now boyfriend on POF and he’s deaf. I was the one who pursued him, knowing full well that he was deaf and that I barely knew any sign. Well, we’ve now been dating six months and I can say I know quite a bit of sign and he’s continuing to teach me! All in all, I’ve never been happier 😊
My mom always told me when I was younger that I needed to learn sign language. I didn’t but I did learn alphabet.... years later I married a deaf man.
thats amazing. im assuming you learnt it then? how long did it take and how did you learn it? I would love to learn it too
Wow!😊
My son is hard of hearing. I have build his confidence to do his best in school and never give up in anything.
I have tons of hearing friends cuz I am cool deaf person! ❤
I love this video so much! I’m hearing but in my second year of working towards being an interpreter. There is a guy that comes into my old job for lunch, and I found out he’s deaf. He is the absolute sweetest guy I’ve ever met and it doesn’t even phase me that he’s deaf anymore, it’s just really natural. I use a few signs here and there with him, but I’m too afraid to use more so I don’t embarrass myself. 😭
Hi
Yes I am deaf too
LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES. I SAID BEFORE. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS SO WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL. THEY BOTH ARE CUTE AND SWEET. 🐦🌹🏵️💟❣️👌👍
Thank you for this video! Years ago, I spent plenty of early conversations with the Deaf using pen and paper, and switched one of my courses to study ASL. Some people seemed to shy away thinking they needed to know ASL from the beginning in order to communicate, which was interesting to me because I was overall SUPER SHY.
I grew up with a severe hearing loss. I think you captured the feeling of loneliness very well in this film! Thank you.
Good film ! I am hearing and have been learning ASL for about a month. There's a bar in my town where both Deaf and hearing people get together every Thursday to hang out, play pool, etc. I've been learning a lot about the community and have met some of the nicest people
I got to sit opposite a deaf man at a party, and it was so depressing to realize he had fully expected to not meet many people to talk to. Now I am trying to get my fingers to play along learning ASL. I wish they had taught us something useful in school instead of this ididiotic polital nonsense. I love your movie. Make more of them, and maybe insert a few phrases that your audience can learn. Movies really helped boost awareness of deafness and sign lanuage, and I bet there is a lot of opportunity for innovation left in this medium.
And I was thinking she was the one that was deaf, go figure...Wonderful film and a great message!! Thank You for making and sharing the film. I hope you get or got recognition for this.
Monce Bravo I'm a first year college student and looking into my future semester classes and figuring out what classes to take to fulfill my credit requirements, I was going to take Spanish (I'm well fluent in Spanish already, I'm Mexican) because I know id be too lazy to learn another language let alone sign language bc it'd be hard, requiring a lot of studying. But I thought to myself more in depth, and came to a conclusion that, I'm being selfish. I've heard many stories from act of kindness from restaurant employees surprising the deaf community by signing back and I realized how big this community is and how little people know the language of sign and I was just so inspired and now I'm going to take an ASL class because I want to get connected and know the deaf community better because it's just a whole different universe. 💕
This was the first clip I've watched in silence. It was such a different experience and I kind of liked it. I feel like I hear my own emotions clearer as I watch it.
Great physical dialogue! I so wanted to see more! Communication is viewed as just verbal utterances, but it so much more. I might enjoy physical dialogue more than verbal. Sometimes words just get in the way.
I'm deaf and my boyfriend is hearing from american ❤ Watching from Philippines
try these app,it converts speech to text and helps deaf people communicate with people that don't know sign language,its free and contains no ads play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pack1.deafcommunication&fbclid=IwAR2Tc7o12x0P7gWvOSwixTbmCXSzu5SKYw44lot8gZBgKoB0ILTigDsxj5U
Wow , love this, such a subtle but strong message. Beautiful.
Linda. WELL DONE !!! from one film Director to another ; WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!
This is only one scenario that clearly reveals how learning ASL is a very beneficial to society. ASL has America in its name; ASL should be taught to, and learned by, every American. Even a basic understanding and ability of ASL is hugely impactful, meaningful and helpful! Great short story! Think how amazing a short story would be about a Deaf person experiencing an urgent heathcare issue and coming into contact with a healthcare provider who knows ASL! The options for real life are endless!
This is beautiful xx
This is so beautifully done I have chills
Sooooo cuteeee 😍 need more films like this
Beautiful movie!It's short,but says many things that make it much longer and much wonderful!♡♡
Loved it❣️!!! Being deaf is the loneliest disability....🤟
Awesome short film and beautiful couple 👫 onscreen
Wow. that's true, when you are in real love, you find your ways and means to communicate with your beloved..☺️ Very cute 🤗
It's great to read comments that they're learning sign language because their loved ones are deaf 😊 It's fun learning ASL though
This was amazing. Recently I have been learning ASL so that when I’m in a situation with a deaf person I can talk with them
A very good video. I empathized with both characters. Thanks!
Dang!!! Wanted to see more!!!! Loved it!!! Sooo much potential for a great movie!
Sometymz i feel still good people and love exist in this world❤❤❤
This video is so sweet I love the video it's amazing. There is someone for everyone.❤️❤️❤️❤️

*WHAT DID THEY WRITE?!*😰
Everyone is talking about how cute the vid is, and about the switch up on who is deaf; and you and I are the only ones wondering about what was written lol.
Me too ...

This video is as simple as beautiful
What a lovely film. Sweet.
I’m deaf and I found this a great short film!
Too bad this movie wasn’t longer! It’s really good!

🙏sehr gut!
He sais Danke shan
Amazing
Excellent! Bravo!
beautiful story.
Wow, that was awesome👌👍. Btw is that you 1:21:)
Wow, great shortfilm. Congrats
Powerfull...yet sweet
omg..my heart stopped for a moment when the girl ran away
Beautiful short film
Filmed very good. Liked it very much. The guy is Beautiful. I'd learn sign language for him.
Nobody in my life is deaf but most don't listen. If they listen they don't understand. If they understand they don't agree.
This is a good short story !
Keep your work up guys
Incredible!
At some point i felt that both were deaf and the girl didn't want to make the wrong assumption. I loved the video. I benefit from CI's myself, changed my world.
