Im not deaf but i would like to learn sign language

[JustJodi]

Its really funny, people think sign language is UNIVERSAL,, when I tell them it isn't.. they are like HOW COME ?? My come back is, How come you do not speak Italian in Africa?? American Sign language ABC's involve just one hand,, British Sign Language ABC's involve both hands,, its a really neat experince for me to observe, BSL and DSL.. I am learning loads of BSL from TV.. so I hope whenever i meet a deaf person from the Uk i will be able to communicate with them as well
