Does anyone know ASL (American Sign Language)?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. Tatsuya (616) 6 years ago

I learned sign language when I was 12 years old. There were two people in my school who were deaf, and I wanted to be able to talk to them. That was 10 years ago, and I still know sign language very well. Anyone else know sign language?

No i really don't. But i have always wanted to learn. There are hundreds of places online that will teach you the whole alphabet. But i know that signing isnt just about Knowing the alphabet from a-z. There are signs for objects and emotions right?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Tatsuya (616)  6 years ago

Yes, there are actual words that have their own sign. It would be difficult to have to spell everything out. Thanks for responding.

My daughter has a Hearing Loss and so I am learning ASL. It is going very slowly. Any tips?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Tatsuya (616)  6 years ago

I learned from two deaf people. Just keep practicing and there are videos and books out there. I once had an ASL dictionary. Check in a book store, like Walden's or something similar. They may have some so it will be easier to learn. Thanks for responding.

I am now 76.
I learned it when I was 16.
It might come in handy to me
because my hearing is deteriorating.

I'm sorry about your hearing going. You probably know it a lot better than I do, knowing it for 60 years. Thanks for responding.

Hi there. I am currently using sign language with my son. :) So I am learning on my own... only learning some signs here and there... :)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Tatsuya (616)  6 years ago

Like I told someone in an earlier post, there are books and videos at the library you might want to check out that will teach you more. Also, for a name sign, your name or anyone's, you make that up yourself. I think that's pretty cool. Thanks for responding.

I do noy know sign language but my som has a little girl in his class that is deaf and he has taken a great interest in learning it. He loves to be able to talk to her and he has even learned a couple of songs so that he can sing to her.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Tatsuya (616)  6 years ago

Wow, that is really cool. That is why I wanted to learn sign language. I think that children being around deaf people want to learn sign language to be able to talk to them. I think that schools should teach basic sign language, at least one class. Thanks for responding.
