Hey,

I am garry 22 year old man from bonnie Scotland. So I met this woman by chance online she is 32, has three children and is from the USA. We get on briliantly together with lots of email an text messages every day.

However she is deaf, so when we call or skype as she can lip read she still struggles slightly. So now I am interested in sign language so I am able to communicate with her so can anyone help with this?...

I told he of my plan and nearly died lol... She is recently divorced and her husband of 10 years never made a single attempt to make communication between them better. She is beautiful in everyway.

So anyway I'm just hopeing to learn a few thing on asl I can do a few like maybe 10 words/phrase on Bsl.

Thanks people x

Exactly!!!!

:welcome: to AllDeaf forum. If you are interest in learning BSL, then she would be willing to teach you BSL basic signs. Her ex-husband probably did not ask her to help him learn BSL as he might not be interesting in learning BSL in order to communicate with her. It would be a big booster for her to help you if you are really truly interest in signing to communicate with her. Good luck. :cool2:

Have fun reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here. :wave:

Should he not just learn ASL or do some parts of the US know BSL too? :confused:

Whatever language she sign in her part of the US she should be able to teach you, especially over Skype. I am sure it will be fun and very rewarding!

Maybe you are right as far as she was from United States. If she planning on living in Scotland, then she might learn how to use BSL but if she is comfortable in using the ASL better than BSL. I guess that she can teach him how to use ASL signs to communicate with her. Also She is 10 years older than him. You never know that his relationship with her might be a rocky road to learning to live with her as a Deaf person and Garry as a hearing person. It takes some getting use to being together as different people. :cool2:
 
My girlfriend is deaf and I encourage her to learn a lot of ASL on her own. SO if you're thinking of learning ASL for your significant other, try to learn a lot of ASL on your own. You'll enjoy it more. Your significant other will enjoy it more. You'll be talking instead of spending all this time "teaching", you know what I mean.

But would it not be a chance for them to grown closer if they did this together? I think he should learn it on his own but as well as them share this learning. I know when I dated someone, I taught him some ASL and it was such a wonderful thing to do together. It is a wonderful feeling to know that someone is trying to learn to help support you instead of taking the easy way out in not trying at all. Just my opinion.
