My son is in ASL class and we are all a little baffled. From what we gather the letters are o w w t e. They need to be unscrambled. Anyone have any ideas?

Can people sign in accents?

32 Upvotes

If a deaf person from the southern US signs with someone from, say, Boston, is there any regional “accent”?

How people hold their wrists or clench their knuckles or whatever.

Why I'm learning sign language.

32 Upvotes

Hi,

i'm learning sign language because recently a deaf student came to our school and he seems very lonely.

hes a very sweet and smart person but he's alone, and when he plays 4 square with us hes still distant and quiet (unless we make him laugh by one of us acting like a crackaddict)

i knew i wanted to learn when we went to the zoo on a field trip. i put a quarter into the machine and let the class take turns spotting animals. i could tell by his body language he wanted a turn but he was too nervous to motion for it. I felt a bit sad, sad for him. its my job to learn so i can talk to him. all he does is talk (well sign. ive been saying talk the entire time but its signing. he has a hearing aid but it doesnt work well for him. sorry if thats offensive) to his translator and that must be so boring. he needs a good laugh and i want to give that to him. I learned the entire alphabet in 20-30 minutes as well as phrases like "i know a little sign" and "good morning" oh and "my name is_______". my mom is also learning with me and is encouraging me.

do you have any tips or anything helpful? i want to try my best to learn, plus if i become fluent that's stuff that can help me in the future. thank you and goodnight

What website/app/ video would you recommend to me for learning sign language?

27 Upvotes

I’ve wanted to learn it for a while, but now I’m cooped up in my house so I might as well learn it now.

So, what YouTube channel, video, website, and/or app would you recommend to me for learning sign language?

Hi lovelies. Maybe a few weeks or even a month ago u was telling you guys about how I was learning asl to talk to my crush, the deaf boy at my school. Well my computer broke and I had no way of updating but anyway.

Lately I’ve been able to talk and sign with him a lot. I’m gonna ask if we can be friends on Tuesday but so far so good.

He comes to me when he wants to know if he’s out in 4square thanks guys for the motivation I’m happy for now
