[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!

Certainly this was topaz_munro's experience -- he tends to be not-great with spoken/written languages (of which he's studied several), which are much easier for me. But when we studied ASL he had a definite advantage, because of a background in acting/mime. (I'm okay at remembering handshapes, not so great at facial expressions!)

Survey says...give it a try.
