[nabs-l] Learning sign language

[Marissa Tejeda]

I want to make a video for a deaf friend I know, but she can't 
show me, because she's not here with me.  My VI aid knows some, 
but we don't have much time to do anything.  He's only with me in 
math on Wednesdays and Fridays.  I remember there was a video, 
and they would tell how to position your hands, but I could never 
find it again.


my friend showed me a little of what I know.  (most alphabet, and 
a few words).
We also have a deaf girl at our school, but her interpreter isn't 
with her whenever I see her, (which isn't often).

Hi Marissa,
 unfortunately as far as I am aware there aren’t resources  one 
would  listen to.

 As far as I can tell,learning sign is very difficult to do  
unless you have actual hands-on experience    learning it.
 My friend taught me the little I know and it only would have 
worked out as well as it had if they were showing me with their 
hands how they did it.
  If you know of someone who is deaf, deaf-blind or possibly an  
interpreter  that would be a good start.
 that’s just my thoughts.   I am sure  someone else might have 
better insight here.  If it’s something you really want to learn 
keep  digging until you find the answer.
 Thanks,
  Darian

 Hi all,

 So, this may sound odd, but I want to learn sign language.  Are 
their any good resources that I can download, or listen to, that 
will teach a blind person sign language?
