Do you know Sign Language....and I don't mean the kind one uses during a traffic slowdown?
If you don't; would you like to learn it?

Re: Sign Language
The problem is different countries have different sign languages. I am already struggling with the 3 or so versions of English I need to speak at times.

Re: Sign Language
I know some signs and would love to learn it. My friend has a deaf sister and I always wanted to talk to her but couldn't. She could read lips but she couldn't respond in a way I could understand so it would have been nice. Also, we have had a couple deaf students in TKD and it would have made teaching them a bit easier.

Re: Sign Language
Yes, but not in the spirit of the original thread. Shame on you Duke.

Re: Sign Language
Is it? Perhaps D00k's vocabulary is a bit limited.

Re: Sign Language
I had no thoughts that your vocabulary was limited. Be hard to do what you do if that were the case.

Re: Sign Language
Are you sure your cat knows the language, or you have come accustomed to his behavior??
