[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!

OK, if something crosses your line of sight please point it out to me. I'm aware of work showing different parts of the brain being used for "native" languages versus other, but that seems to be much more age-related than anything else. I hadn't seen any of this work applied to signed languages.
