Thank you for sharing those links. My children just began picking up ASL from a PBS show, and are really learning so much, that we have decided to learn ASL as a family, and make it a second language at home. The "ASL Dictionary" link will really help me as our vocabulary increases! I appreciate you sharing your information!

That's wonderful! If you have any grammar questions, please ask me! For example, in ASL you would not sign "pay attention", you would simpley sign "attention" while keeping eye contact with the person you are giving the command to. Knowing the grammar helps make communication more effecient since signing with English grammar is long and tedious. Have fun!

I had just mentioned to the boys the other day that we should learn a few signs. I told them that there are times I would like to be able to communicate with them without having to shout across the room when we are out in public. Really what I was thinking is that I'd like to say "PAY ATTENTION" when they are at swimming lessons and doing everything but.

The website link you gave is great and the boys and I can look at it together. I've made a list of words for us to start with and hopefully we'll add to it as we go along.
