Dear Anna
I feel very enlightened about the basic fundamentals of sign language thanks to your post “Learning Sign Language” Mainly because I thought sign language was very different from country to country. I didn’t expect ASL and BSL to be similar.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “Learning sign language can seem to be more difficult because its words appear in the form of motions rather than sounds.” I think this is interesting because I wasn’t very aware of this until now.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because of your informative posts. Not to mention your amazing explanations are very pleasant to read.
