Ever tried learning sign language.

i know few since my sister in law and my niece is teaching me when i am in the philippines and its fun to learn them for it will allow you to communicate deaf people.

and its a talent too since not many knew it unless we study for it.

My son was taught to sign a song when he was in the forth grade. It was difficult to help him with one song, never mind learning it in it's entirety. The song was beautiful, especially coming from a bunch of small children!

oh that seems wonderful...unfortunately i never got a chance to learn it but i would totally love to. I love languages and i consider this to be one of them so i hope one day to learn it.

I don't recall ever trying to do official sign language. I've sang various camp songs that came with hand actions, but I'm not sure if they were proper sign language or not.

At the end of September, I attended an assembly at my son's school, and a grade 3 class shared a poem that they did sign language to while reciting it. It was interesting to watch, and fantastic to see.:) The entire class was taught some sign language from one of the classmates, as his parents are both completely deaf, and he's been signing his entire life.

As a school kid, I had two friends, who were able to speak and hear but who had deaf and dumb parents. Because I used to go to their house, I picked bits and pieces up and they taught me the alphabet and a few other signs. I would really like to do a course to learn it properly.

I accualy learned some in 3rd grade because my teacher taught it to us.

I have never attempted to learn sign language,but then one of my relative is deaf & dumb but I am quite good at expressing things to her in action,though it is no way close to sign language:)

At one point, I was actually fluent in American Sign Language. The high school I went to my freshman year offered it as a foreign language. I still know quite a bit, but I've forgotten a lot and lost a lot of speed. In a regular conversation with someone who's deaf, I get behind, lost, etc. It's still nice to be able to use it occasionally to help people out. Now that I have a child, who happens to have Autism, I've been working on refreshing myself. Sign language is often used to help promote communication with children with Autism. My son is 6 and is really starting to grasp the alphabet as well as some other signs. I suggest buying or renting some videos/dvds that show basic signs. The diagrams are a little difficult to understand sometimes, unless you have a basic idea of how the movements of are done. Seeing it in action will help you to get the gist of the signs from the diagrams better.

The only sign language I've learned was the alphabet... LOL....

Hello mylotting friends!!! I have always wanted to learn sign language but actually never got the opportunity to do so. Have a nice day!!! Happy mylotting!!!!
