What a drag it is, the shape I'm in

When you're learning sign language, you can put it to good use... or great use.

My god that was beautiful.

(I don't think I've ever seen British Sign Language before! This would be more meaningful if I remembered even a little bit of ASL but there you go.)

I think 'beautiful' is a bit far, but thanks :-D

I saw a couple of ASL versions of the same song and it's so completely different, it's mental. What I'm learning is also northern BSL, which is supposed to be incomprehensible to people in the south. How useful!

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It'd be pretty ethnocentric of me to assume that Brits would use ASL, but... on the other hand, since we speak the same language, you'd think we'd sign the same language.

In any case, very cute, and very impressive - you do plenty more than just 'tell me why' ^_^

The north and south of England has very different sign language as well, it's crazy! And the numbers I've learned are different from other regions in the north.

& thank you :-D

That was adorable.

Also, I was wondering why I didn't recognize anything (having taught myself the tiniest bit of sign language out of boredom one night), but... right. British Sign Language. (I think every comment will have something to do with this, probably.) Also, you're really good, from what I can tell. Also, ♥!

[biginjapan]

Hahaha, thanks love ♥

I watched a few ASL versions of the song and it's so completely different so no wonder you didn't understand any! And I suck, but I practiced that a lot :-D

I CANT HEAR ANYTHING

My buddy Ryan was showing ASL music videos to his friend Tristan, and after like, two minutes, Tristan was like, "...WHERES THE SOUND."

ALSO YOU = FTW.

YOU SO FUNNY :-D

& thanks! ♥

This is so awesome. And now I can sign more than just "Toilet".

[biginjapan]

Hmmm, I'll have to learn that next ;-)
