Default Sign Language

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?

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.

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.

Is it? Perhaps D00k's vocabulary is a bit limited.

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

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