Do you want to learn sign language just out of curiosity? Or is it vital for you to communicate with a loved one? In any case, you can always find like-minded people both on the Internet and in real life.
Instructions
Step 1
If you know English well enough (and in this case the repeater will not be enough), go to one of the English-language sites (for example, on www.handspeak.com), dedicated not only to sign language, but to all the difficulties deaf and dumb people face on a daily basis. It is possible that after reading the materials of these sites, you will understand that sign language is not child's play and that you should be as careful as possible with people who cannot communicate with this world in any other way
Step 2
Unfortunately, there are practically no such Russian-language sites. Recently, however, by the efforts of enthusiasts, several blogs dedicated to both sign language and the problems of adaptation of the deaf and dumb have been maintained in working order. One of them - https://jestov.net. On this site you can find a practical guide to mastering this language, read the news and leave your comments about what you read
Step 3
Buy a fingerprint textbook. Such textbooks are now rarely found on the free market (except perhaps textbooks that present incomplete and truncated information about sign language). Therefore, you will need to order it in one of the online stores or contact a large book center and, having read the catalog, place an application.
Step 4
Buy a fingerprint textbook. Such textbooks are now rarely found on the free market (except perhaps textbooks that present incomplete and truncated information about sign language). Therefore, you will need to order it in one of the online stores or contact a large book center and, having read the catalog, place an application. So, you can order a recently published dictionary of sign language, containing about 1800 positions. Do not assume that in this language, in fact, there are so many gestures. The fact is that many concepts are composite. For example, 2 gestures: "man" and "marry" mean in translation the word "husband". Therefore, in the process of studying it, it is necessary to acquire the skill of separating connotation (the word in context, its emotional aspect, etc.) and denotation (the direct meaning of the word).
Step 5
Contact the society of the deaf (the Society of the Deaf and Mute in Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus) in order to order a textbook through them or enroll in courses that are periodically organized by society activists for those who have decided to master this language. Please note: for healthy people, training is carried out only on a paid basis. If you live in Moscow, contact a special sign language learning center.
Step 6
Go to one of the social networks and find an already registered group engaged in the study of sign language, or organize your own.
Step 7
Purchase the DVD Sign Language Course, made especially for Hearing People who want to learn Sign Language. It also contains about 1800 of the most common gestures necessary for communication in everyday life.
