[language] Sign language

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!

[livejournal.com profile] starandrea knows sign language. Not sure how close you are to her. Tho I could safely say, closer than I am to her. ;) You know, I always think that knowing other languages is a good thing, but then I'm much more of a visual learner and good with languages so that kinda colors my perspective.

Locationwise, not terribly close to her. Unfortunately. But yes, I know she knows it. :)

Ok, I'm not being terribly clever today I guess. The point, before I got sidetracked, was that if she was close you could practice with her, but since you're not close...uh, nevermind.

I know what you were trying to say, actually. :)

She's ~1.5-2 hours away. I can't remember.
