okay so i want to learn sign language really bad. so i was looking at sign language dictionaries online. and i was switching back between the two. but i noticed some of the same words are done differently
i looked up the word “still” on both websites and both of them are telling me to do them a different way..? does that mean one of them are wrong?

Remember that there are lots of words spelled the same way that mean different things. Do you mean still-not moving or still-continuing?
Also, ASL has different rules for different modes of speaking. You might use a sign once to indicate the thing, twice to indicate use/movement or pluralism.
Use the website that I listed above. When I was taking ASL courses in college we used this website for testing fingerspelling and the dictionary. Congrats on wanting to learn a fascinating language, but consider taking official courses…you’ll learn SO much more about the Deaf culture and also the language if you do.
