Almost a year ago, I posted this video because I noticed in several ASL vlogs signing or conceptual errors when talking about cueing, and I wanted to post the info about cueing in a Deaf-friendly way.

Since then, I’ve gotten endless comments, most of which expressed a desire to see more. The most common request, of course, is to see cueing in action. Look no further – I’ve just whipped up an impromptu video with the following commentary to be posted on YouTube:

A little demo for all the people who e-mailed me/commented after my last video. I cue one of my favorite childhood poems — subtitled, of course.

Here you can see where the rhyming/phonemes become visually apparent, which is just one reason why cueing is so neat: it’s language at the phonemic level, not the superficial morphological level.
