I was excited this past Friday when I got to use some of what I knew and remembered about sign language. I think it's an amazing language and it's probably the only fully universal language. The customer was so good though that I had no idea he was Deaf until I was almost done with his transaction. I'm studying to be a speech pathologist but I also want to learn more sign language.

I'm taking ASL once school starts up again along with Latin. I really got intrested in it while I was in Elem. School and since then I made it a goal to learn it. So far I can sign my name, both of my sisters' names, book, and stars... sweatdrop weird I know, but languages have always intrested me. Ish why I'm going to take a Language minor once I start college! 4laugh I'm already bilingual, and I hope that by the time I finish HS I can at least say I'm trilingual. sweatdrop But I guess that's too much to hope for, ah well, I'll keep working to become a polygot... ^^

Next to finishing up Spanish and continueing with Japanese I want to start up ASL again. I was in an after school class for it back in 2nd grade. But I have since moved from that school and haven't gotten back to it. Though I do have a book and some CDs that can help teach it. So I hope to get time to start it up. The only thing I remember is the alphabet.

I really like ASL and find it interesting but I have trouble learning something so physical.
I learned a few signs from a children's show called Signing Time.
It's really cool. It teaches you signs and incorperates them into songs.
But I could only remeber a few signs, like "shoes," "room," or "want."

Oh... sign is FUN. It's a really neat thing to have, and important too for those who can't hear. Personally I haven't really gotten that much into it, but the alphabet, a few songs, and a collection of random words I learned from my mom. Hey, when I first clicked on this thread I was a expecting something a bit different...
Is there a way that people can practice sign in threads like this? Like post pictures of the hand signals or something? I'm not really sure... I think that would be cool though... if it's done right at least... or... well... I guess I mean in a way that other people can understand and actually have conversations like that. Idk... any one wanna pick up this idea? I think it'd be cool. I can't really start much of it though since i don't know much ASL... =/

Ahh, the good old ASL. It's really not hard if you know how to do it, I taught myself and others by memorizing new pop songs off the radio; you learn them, you hear them on the radio and sign along, It gets caught in your head and you remember the signs. Signing and singing have the same letters after all!
I love all of my deaf friends and they're signing-swears.
People get pissed at me when I accidentally sign when I talk... sweatdrop

You can't just always sign out all the lyrics. You have to know what they really mean, then translate that to ASL word order. It is fun to goof off that way though.

That's what makes it so interesting, finding new ways to sing the song and still get the point across. To be able to use your mind in such a way is so great, so refreshing. It's not just common English, it's a WHOLE OTHER LANGUAGE. Exciting isn't it?
