Great sign Langauge site

I found this site because I basically can't hear any thing out of my right side. And I don't hear normally with my good side in crowds or any kind of back ground noise. Thought it wouldn't hurt to learn some sign langauge but I have a hard time learning from drawing of hands in a book. This site is 100% better than that....easy to boot!

Easy signs for "I have a question", "Thank you", "excuse or pardon me"....

So if you know of anyone hearing impaired or having a hard time hearing in crowds...this is something wonderful to learn.

I learned when I was in high school our teacher would actually let us talk to class mates all class long as long as we signed. Funny thing is I haven't used it in years and still know it. (like riding a bike).

OK, that is a blow me away site, it has video of someone actually doing the sign not just pictures. THANKS!!!

My uncle is deaf, so I've been signing since I was about 10 months old. But that's a great site to learn from.

Thank you so much for sharing this site. We have just recently found out that our grandson has apraxia of speech and we will all need to learn sign language. I can really make use of this wonderful site!!

Wow!!

I might have to try that site!!

When I was born I was deaf, They had to put tubes in my ears so I could hear.

I finally learned to hear at age 10 or 11.

My mom could have sent me to a school to learn sign language, but she loved me so and said she

would of missed me being gone.

now my mom has hearing aids ( can you believe they cost her 6,000 dollars?) that is crazy!!!

sometimes she has them turned down, so if I said something to her she couldn't hear me.

so I need to learn sign language, that would be kool to learn also.

That's a cool site! I took sign language when I was in 7th - 9th grade for fun and one of my friends in CA is an ASL interpreter. I'll have to show this to her.

Here is another site I found to be more helpful than ASLPro.....

I've been trying to learn sign for almost 3 yrs when both my good friend was starting to go deaf and when I started seeing a woman who had many family members and friends (she was an accepted member of the deaf community) who were deaf. I joined an ASL study group and this is the site that we worked thru to study.

I took a semester of ASL my junior year in high school, was so not my thing. The class was actually a full year class but i knew early on i would not make it through two semesters of it, so finished out the semester and then took up a different study. Looking back now, wish i had just stuck with it but was worried it would affect my GPA in the long run. The class was taught my a man who was actually deaf, which made it all that more difficult for me to learn.

Still know a little bit of it...most of the letters and few things that stuck with me such as "horse", "miniature"....lol.
