I know sign language! I had a deaf girl all through primary school and I just picked up a lot of it. I think it's different to American Sign Language though? Yeah if you know British Sign Language, I think it's really different from ASL, which I know. Do you use both hands to spell alphabets?

The sign language most commonly used in North America is with the one hand. I know both though. My cousin is deaf, and his wife is also deaf - she was born & raised in England, and communicates using British Sign...mostly - but she also uses some American sign now too.

Yup, just one hand. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I also do some Japanese Sign Language, and that is spelled with one hand, too (though they're not alphabets). Wow Brae it's great that you know both... I wish I had close friends or relatives who I could learn them from!
