In Portugal we use this website to learn signs and there are several other languages in it, because it's also a translator https://spreadthesign.com/pt.pt/search/ I remember seeing asl and bsl there too! Do you guys use it? Unfortunately they don't have many resources and can't add all existing signs, but I really like it! It's made by the Deaf Associations here and the University of Porto- Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences. There's also a map with signs for places and sentences. Please keep in mind, not all signs have the corresponding translation. For example, deaf people in portugal say: "name mine silvia" and not "my name silvia" they also say "beach I go" instead of "I'm going to beach" therefore the sentence structure is different than asl :( Thank you! I am so happy to find this asl forum I couldn't wait to tell you this until tomorrow! Here it's late 😂 Bye everyone!

If i ever travel or encounter someone from the USA I want to be able to talk to them, weather they are hearing or deaf

I know Portuguese Sign Language (LGP) and I want to learn ASL too! I am hearing, 26, I speak portuguese and english. I hope i can learn from you, the deaf community and teachers here! In Portugal we don't have a website like this, only social media and it's hard to start a conversation about sign language. All my family and friends are hearing too I love our finger spelling but i find yours is lovely too and sometimes, a few signs are the same for example: the letter L, O, Z are the same sign in both pt and english and the letter I too Sorry if i make any mistakes...i am currently only learning ASL through deaf people on youtube and instagram! I only know LGP level one, i am not fluent! I tried to say the english alphabet while signing in portuguese and it's hard! Sorry about my pjs, i am currently sick. Thank you!
