Website to learn Sign

[Alison_S]

Hello again!

Does anyone know of a good website (prefably animated) that will teach you how to use Sign language as I really want to learn it. All i can find are sites that teach you how to sign from A-Z but nothing about how to construct sentences etc.

Would be appreciative of any suggestions.

Thank you all.

this site says that it provides an animated course http://www.learnbsl.org. You need to download this and I haven't done this so cannot say how good it is. However I have studied a Sign Language course at an evening class and I would mention that just like in speaking there are regional 'dialects' for BSL. Not all words are signed eg to say 'My name is Julie' you would sign my name Julie - this may or may not be mentioned in the above site but I thought it worth saying so you don't spend time trying to find words. Hope this helps :)

Thank you Jules for your response. I will definately check out that site you mentioned. Hopefully the file isnt too big or my PC will have a fit!!!

Also, thanks for letting me know that bit of info about how some words are not signed. That does save me a bit of searching!

Take Care
