Thank you!  I intend to learn some BSL apart from fingerspelling but this will be a great help, even though slow. :)

I've taken ASL when I was a little boy. Unfortunately, I never kept it up. It's a good idea for both hearing and deaf people to learn both American Sign Language and British Sign Language, as they're not that much different.

[Imralu]

@Seattlecarnut Actually they're very different. If you can understand one, it doesn't mean you can understand the other.

[Seattlecarnut]

@Imralu Really? How are they different?

[Imralu]

@Seattlecarnut They're completely seperate languages and they're not mutually intelligible. There's a small amount of overlap of vocabulary, but most signs are different. And the fingerspelling is different too, ASL uses a one handed alphabet and BSL uses a two handed one. There are different sign languages all over the world.

[Seattlecarnut]

@Imralu Either way, it seems like a good idea to learn the different kinds. That way, you can communicate with deaf and hearing impaired people from both countries.

[keebs529]

@Seattlecarnut ASL is done all on one hand so the study of handshakes is utilized more. BSL is done all on two hands so the study of movement is utilized more. Additionally BSL vowels are all done at the tips of fingers. Some sign languages use two hands for one letter and only one hand for another. A Deaf person from the US could not go to England and understand a Deaf person from England and vice versa.

[Seattlecarnut]

@keebs529 Deaf, or hearing impaired. I didn't know that the two sign languages were so different.

[dabubbsta1]

@Seattlecarnut I completely disagree with that statement. SO many things are different between them.

[Seattlecarnut]

@dabubbsta1 It's still a good thing to learn.

[EmmzyJ]

Yay 9 outta 10.
