Sign Language – Baby Sitter?

I have a daughter who is 3 years old. She is hearing impaired and one of my Mom’s friends wants to watch her. She is a nanny from home and watches two other pre-school aged children. She does not know sign language and I don’t mind. She is learning to read lips and is in a school for the deaf most of the day to help with her hearing loss and to explore the world around her. What could I do provide her to help her learn a few signs to make things smoother for the nanny. My daughter has been learning sign language since we found out when 6 months old. So, she has a really good vocabulary now. Also, she’d only be watching her for maybe 3 hours a day 3 times a week. Any suggestions would be helpful.

“Clifford’s Halloween” children’s book in ASL


I sign “Clifford’s Halloween” in American Sign Language. This is a children’s story, so don’t expect to be interested. Haha. I did this for a test, so if you are actually showing a child, be sure and pause when I show the picture pages, so they can keep up with the story. 🙂 Enjoy!.

Sign language, free online courses?

I have always wanted to learn sign language, and I wish to go into teaching as a career, and I believe sign language will give me an edge. I live in England and am therefore looking to learn BSL. I am fifteen, and I am looking for a FREE ONLINE COURSE that I can do a little every night. I am a bright person, expecting straight A*s in my GCSEs and I am currently learning French and German at school aswell as English, so the concept of language is no barrier. I know little things already such as the alphabet, but I am still at a very basic llevel. thank you 🙂

Why does a deaf person have to assign me a sign name?

I’m trying to learn sign language, and I was going to go and name a few of my friends with long names so I didn’t have to finger spell them every time. When I was researching names, about 50% said that it was okay to assign myself a name, and about 50% said a deaf or hard of hearing person has to give me a name. The problem is, I don’t know any deaf or hard of hearing people, nor do my friends. Is it okay in this situation to just give myself a name?
