I do! I learned A LOT of signs at a website. Google aslpro and it should be the first one up. Sometimes I sign with the music team at my church!

I know it!! (sort of!) I used to take a homeschooler class for it, but it eventually stopped. I only remember a few signs, but can do the whole alphabet, so I can spell words. :):):)
Oh, and "Dania P." knows it. Ahem. :P

Yes, I know the alphabet too, but I want to not have to spell out everything. I know a little, like a salute for 'hi', etc. But not much more than that.

I know sign language! I'm deaf (Well... I have hearing loss...) and wear hearing aids! (I think I mentioned that before!) UGH but they are really annoying me right now because my ear hurts! I know Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma (etc. etc.) and Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa (etc. ect.) Smart, dumb, dog, cat and lots more! I also have a whole sign language book so I could just go listing down the whole thing! (but that would be a lot of words, plus I don't have it with me right now!) WOW! Thanks for starting this thread, Lena! Great Idea! I can't believe I never thought of it!

Cool! I mean, I'm sorry about you being deaf, but I think it is so cool that you know sign language.

I think I know dog. You have to snap your fingers, right? I know cat, too! >^.^< (or however you do it) :D:D:D
(February 26, 2009 - 7:35 pm)
Yeah, I know dog too, except that I'm not a good finger-snapper. :(

:D:D Same!!! :):) I only just learned how to snap my fingers (for some reason, my fingers just typed 'spell my name'.....)!!!! :):):)

I have slight hearing loss in one of my ears, though I don't need an aid.
Oh, and I can finger spell, though I always get mixed up on three or four of the letters. Plus I'm really slow. But still, I'm considering learning more too. :) I think I might take a course in collage. :D

I'd enjoy doing sign language in college, too! I'm not a good finger-snapper, too, Lena! I usually just clap or something. :)

You can also sign "dog" by patting your leg twice with the hand you write with.
(February 28, 2009 - 10:18 am)
i have learned that you pat your thigh, snap, pat, snap!

I've mastered fingerspelling by now, so if you need help on any of the letters, I can help!
(February 28, 2009 - 8:35 am)
Ugh, I'm not very good at the fingerspelling much! Like somebuggy said, it takes too long! But some times I say DQ with my fingers in the summer If I want to go to Dairy Queen! Mmmm... that suddenly tastes really good right now... :D:D
