In this video Sarah uses *SimCom (Simultaneous Communication):* A communication method where signing and speaking happen at the same time. Although the signing uses ASL signs, they are in English word order. This leads to an incomplete expression of both English and ASL. It is used because it is a great bridge between communicating with both hearing and Deaf. Although a student can learn signs from watching someone SimCom, it's not the best method to observe to learn ASL grammar. 🤟 Homeschool Curriculum: https://learnhowtosign.com/homeschool/ 📨 10 Day ASL Jumpstart: https://learnhowtosign.com/newsletter 🚀 LHTS Accelerated (Membership): https://learnhowtosign.com/accelerated/start 🤟 Follow us on Social Media: https://learnhowtosign.com/follow *More From LHTS* ✅ FREE RESOURCE | 10 DAY ASL JUMPSTART: https://learnhowtosign.com/newsletter ✅ SOCIAL MEDIA | Follow us on FB, IG & TT: https://learnhowtosign.com/follow ✅ MEMBERSHIP | 🚀 LHTS ACCELERATED: https://learnhowtosign.com/accelerated/start ✅ LIVE ASL COURSES | 🤟 LHTS INTENSIVES: https://learnhowtosign.com/intensives ✅ ON-DEMAND ASL COURSES: https://learnhowtosign.com/courses/ ✅ WEBSITE: https://LearnHowToSign.com ✅ SKILLSHARE COURSES: https://skl.sh/3lTNbY2 ✅ LHTS MERCH: https://learnhowtosign.com/store *NAVIGATION* 0:08 - Introduction 0:18 - 1.
