If your computer is not a dinosaur, this is a nice page. A good tool for fingerspelling practice. This is the page that the boggle page came from. It lets you interpret a phrase that is fingerspelled to you animated by flash. For me its much harder to interpret fingerspelling than to sign it myself. Which by the way I'm not too great at either. I'm getting there though! Jessica gave me some really good advice. She said not to say the letter as you see it but say the sound it makes, so that by the time you get to the end of the word you haven't forgotten what the beginning was!

Lesson Tutor

Lesson Tutor is a large site with a lot of valuable information. I'm not a big fan of their pictures when it comes to learning a new sign, so I don't use this site to look up a sign I don't know. However I have found that there are a great many signs that I have seen, but don't have a firm hold on. In this case the pictures are just the right clue to jog my memory and help to affix the sign for me.

Here are some printable coloring pages to teach the alphabet and fingerspelling.

Boggle with fingerspelling

This is a great concept. I'm afraid in reality it's not quite great. The number of specific letters seems totally random, so that you may get 8 G's or only one vowel, also the program does not recognize actual words so if you say its a word it assumes you are correct. However, it is definitely worth a try.

Rose family ASL website

Here's hoping I'm doing this correctly. As I understand it I type the link in the link box and then paste the code in the template?? We'll see...
It's an excellent ASL vocabulary site often children are presenting the signs.

Giving this a try...

I'm going to try my hand at this. I'd welcome any advice (on blogging that is) My goal is to put up a page about sign language and our family's experiences with it and with our deaf friends. I would really like to have an extensive list of links to quality related pages and maybe products. We'll see what we find. Soon as I can get a new camera I'll post some pictures of us and others at our sign language classes. Presently all four kids and I are taking two classes, one is at our public library on thursdays and is directed towards children/beginners, and the other class is a theocratic ASL class taught at our Kingdom Hall on fridays. There is homework/studying for both classes. Then we are also able to sit in the ASL section at the hall on sundays and watch the talk interpeted in ASL.
