Look for those videos without sound and with WRITTEN English words used for vocabulary. When you get more familiar with BSL (such as watching anything you find interesting with subs if you want on BSL Zone) you will pick up the difference between native signing and non-native signing. If a...

Have you checked out BSL Zone? All or most of the videos have English subtitles as well. I enjoy this site even though I am not learning BSL. http://www.bslzone.co.uk/watch/ I am sure there are videos on youtube in or about BSL if you search for them. for example if you search "BSL...

I know that. I learned some Japanese Sign Language by going to a deaf cafe in Japan several times a week for a few hours each time while I was there (two months). I started out knowing only how to say "I am learning JSL" and "Thank you" and left being able to do basic conversation. After all...

I am looking into using helpx to find a place to stay. It is a site where you can arrange to work (often gardening, farmwork or childcare) a certain number of hours in exchange for a place to stay and sometimes even food. (I did this to stay in Osaka, Japan (the second biggest city in one of the...

Hi. I am looking into moving to a city with a large Deaf population in the near future for a few months and immerse myself into ASL and Deaf Culture (I am hoh). I would like to go to a place that has good or decent public transport. There are Deaf communities in my corner of...

Hi all, I made a second updated video which I just uploaded to YouTube. I incorporated the feedback everyone here as well as people from other places gave me. If anyone has any feedback, corrections, etc feel free to comment :) Link to Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kiIGmRTBTc

Thanks for the feedback. The sign after eating is the sign for "artistic gymnastics" (a sport).

I see. Thanks for answering my questions!

Hello. I have just started learning ASL a few weeks ago. I don't live near a place that offers classes at the moment, nor have I been able to find a native ASL signer to work with me either locally or on the internet. So, using what I have learned so far via certain internet resources, I...

Hi :) Thanks for the offer of help. I uploaded a video of myself signing a really basic self introduction and a really really simplified explanation about why I am learning ASL. Any feedback, comments, corrections, etc you might have would be great :) Link: https://youtu.be/SB286TtYTuc

Hi. My name is Becki. I am HOH and am learning ASL. (still pretty basic at the moment!) I am from Wisconsin. My Skype ID is: juniperarrow I don't have Glide but I could be convinced to get one...

Hi :) My name is Becki. I am hard of hearing, though I only know a tiny amount of ASL. I am 23 years old and from Wisconsin. I am currently living in western Colorado. Anyways, I have recently decided that I want to seriously learn ASL. I am currently participating in a gap year program...

Hi :) I am HOH and I am interested in meeting other HOH and Deaf people in my home state of Wisconsin as well as learning ASL. I live near Sheboygan.

Doesn't whether captions is displayed even when the box says CC depend on the DVD player, well, sometimes? When I used a DVD player that is connected to a TV, DVDs with both just CC and subtitles will work but if I use a stand alone portable DVD player than DVDs with just CC and without...
