I heard of a story about two women talking in sign language to some men. One woman was trying to tell everyone she was hungry in sign language but she was new at it. So instead for signing "she is hungry " she signed " I am
hony !" Her friend tried to tell to stop , with her elbow . The men were very interested !

Hello and welcome to AD, I am "re learning" sign language from twenty years ago and I don't think it's any easier, like starting from the bottom. So stop by and say hello anytime and enjoy your visits here!

Hi...!!

Hey! If you want to learn more about ASL or just different signs, you can go to ASLPro.com Home it's amazing!

I sign a lot of songs and I use that to help me at times

Welcome Tamra and June_iii

I've been teaching myself ASL online thru LifePrint.com and also I use ASLpro.com and SigningSavvy.com. I also need practice conversing in ASL... learning from a book or online is just not the same. LOL

The only offensive thing is when hearing people write in contractions and net speak. Whole words are the most easily understood by us.

In the absence of Matilda, I am the official reminder for this.

Correct spelling also, please.

I am happy to sign with you if you want. What do you have for video? I have P3 from Purple, free download, from HOVRS. I can also use an IM but the video quality seems kind of poor there.

Put your #1 forefinger on the right side of your forehead which indicate "horny". I hope the Aders agree with me on this one.
