I think it's fantastic. If you know English and ASL, you know the most common spoken and non-spoken languages on the planet, guaranteeing at least a basic level of communication wherever you go.

I can't speak definitely, because I only know BSL, but it's pretty simple. Most of the signs are logical, but the structure does vary from how we talk. Also, although it doesn't take long to master the basics, it takes a long time to achieve fluency.

what is BSL? why would it take longer to become fluent than understanding the basics? Also what language is that at the bottom of your post dissilusioned?

---

British Sign Language

Because it's very quick, so you've not got any time to pause to think about what sign you're going to do next.

It's my name in Arabic.

wow maybe I should learn BSL instead lol.  

so do you speak arabic too?

Haha. Tbh, ASL is used a fair bit here too, so I probably should have learnt that.

Nope, but I know people that do.

i didn't even know that they have a degree for deaf-blind education. so what is the best way that you learned from, wingedmisery?  
there is a class called intro to deafness or something like that before sign language but i'm not sure if i'll have to take the intro course before the sign language course.

I learned a lot about the language and the culture. It was very informative and a great experience. I just kept practicing and going to Deaf events and doing my thing. You should take the intro to D/deafness class because you need to know about Deaf culture. There is so much more to being Deaf than using ASL. good luck.
