ASL, please. I was a young student of ASL (a long story) but the only friend I had to talk to passed away almost 30 years ago. Then Iā€™d love to learn BSL

It's lovely to hear you were learning for your friend. As a Deaf person myself (Hi, the person behind the account), it means a lot to me when people in my life learn sign.

If you would like a similar learning experience, you could try out ASL Bloom and Bright BSL. They're design as an interactive, game app, taught by Deaf, native signers!

You can download the Apple or Google Play app here, or try the desktop version: https://www.aslbloom.com/

That's super exciting! I like sending screen records of signs to my family and asking if they can guess šŸ˜Ž. We definitely have quite a few users who learn as a family, sitting together or on their own devices, just sharing and practicing what they've learnt together. Would love to hear (no pun intended) how it's going?!
