[language] Sign language

[wispfox]

I kinda want to learn sign language. I already know most of the alphabet (and numbers 1-10), because my mom knew it. And I suspect strongly that when I get nonverbal, I would probably still be able to sign.

But I'm nervous about it, because I tend to be bad with languages. Also because I don't think most of the people I know know it, so I'd have no one to practice with.

So I am indecisive... and yet curious!

You know, or could easily be introduced to, a good half-dozen or so. Try the classes at CCAE (http://www.ccae.org/catalog/courses/course_details.php?id=523460) or Brookline Adult Ed (http://www.brooklineadulted.org/bin/catalog/bldCatalogPage.pl?File=LanguageArts.txt&Key=35). We (dilletante, fennel, and myself) have fallen off the wagon, recently, but would like to get back on. Playing "Once Upon A Time" was fun. :)

Hmm! Ok, I'm pleased that you have suggestions for places to go. :)

And... does "would like to get back on" mean you're interested _now_? Or no?

So is Trivial Pursuit! (hint, hint)

True! And in answer to wispfox's question, I'm not up for taking a class right now, but if you take one and enjoy it enough to want to play silly sign games, then I'm definitely up for *that*.

Ok. :) Lots of people to practice with, if I track y'all down. ;)

Hey, this way I can be social and useful! ;)
