Sign Language - September 24th 2011, 09:54 PM

Does anyone here know it? It'd be pretty awesome to use it on Skype/MSN.

I know American Sign Language and the British Sign Language alphabet.

My 4th grade teacher taught us American Sign Language, but that was a long time ago so I've forgotten most of it

I'm learning and I've known the ASL alphabet for years.

I know the ASL alphabet, but that's really it. I'm trying to learn the rest of ASL though. Do any of you know some good websites that could help me out?

I'm currently in my 2nd year of learning it.
I know the signs, I just have a slight difficulty of processing the other person's signs</3

I learnt the BSL alphabet online somewhere, I forget the site. Not sure if it's got ASL.

Amiko, yeah I have the same problem. It's been a while since I've really used sign language so it takes me a couple seconds to recognize the sign. That's awful, considering I grew up bi-lingual.

I'm currently doing a course called "Signing With Babies & Young Children" which is based on BSL.

Unfortunately, it's only basic signs, not really enough to have a full-blown conversation. =/

I think Signing is awesome though and kudos to anyone who knows it.

I know a few basic ASL signs (mother, father, thank you) and most of the alphabet, but I'm missing a few letters.

Re: Sign Language - September 29th 2011, 10:39 PM

Aww, I'm sorry!

You know, the signs should be the same in the UK, Aussieland, New Zealand and the USA with minor (very minor) changes. You know what I'm saying? Because it's really unfair if you know the same spoken language but the signed language is completely foreign.

The BSL alphabet is bizzare, I can only remember the vowels because they're the easiest.

Isn't it? I communicate in BSL and even I find it hard!

Re: Sign Language - September 30th 2011, 10:22 AM

I know the British alphabet ... how to sign sorry, a few baby signs (from working with kids) like milk etc. I know a few countries and how to say "F*** you, f*** the lot of you" in Aussie sign language from a comedy sketch ... did check and it was accurate hehe.
I've been trying to teach myself for years but it's so hard :/ and I can't afford a proper course.

There are several sites out there.
aslpro.com
handspeak.com
http://asl.ms/ (this tests your knowledge)

The best thing you can do is to learn the alphabet on your own, then join a group to learn signs and the language.

Also, I know the alphabet and am working on signs because my boyfriend is hard of hearing and its getting progressively worse.


So you have gray hair and you're only 26

that's just another reason I love you...

I like the idea of learning signing in another language. I've have few deaf friends,one of them happens to be a very close good friend of mine and it's been almost 10 years for me since I taught myself the language and it's beautiful-there no other word to describe it.It's a process but you'll get there :]

I'm sorry about your boyfriend's hearing, but that's awesome you're learning sign language for him! Does he already know it or is he learning as well?

That's alright. He has known for years it would happen. We are learning together A few months ago we noticed he is having a harder time hearing than usual and after a couple months it was the same and hadn't gotten better. So we decided we might as well get a head start and stay a step ahead of his hearing

So we are learning together, hoping that when the time comes we won't have any problems communicating
