Hi, I started learning ASL about a year ago from videos and a book. I am 67 years old, retired and wanted to learn a second language. Unfortunately, no one else in my life is interested and I don't have anyone to sign with. 

Best regards, Morris

No idea. I started out with about 10 "Signing Time" videos with my 3-year-old granddaughter, then got a thirty-year-old Perigree Signing Dictionary and have watched a few Dr. Bill Vickers Lifeprint videos on YouTube. I am very slow "reading" someone fingerspell because I've not actually spent time "watching" other people sign. I tend to memorize a sign and have to go back and relearn it because I forget because I didn't use it.

My granddaughter is now 4 1/2, and when I thought she was getting all stubborn about not wanting to sign, she surprised me by taking and interest in fingerspelling. grandpa :=)

Oh, that's so cool! I was trying to get into an ASL class at my school, but I wasn't able to :( but for some reason my brother got in, so he just teaches me what he learned after school sometimes :) I'm a definite newbie too :)

      Effective Acne Treatment: A Complete Guide

      By Steven Gilbert · Posted

      Medical sources also highlight that consistent routines and combination therapies are often necessary, with results sometimes taking weeks to appear. Practical addition would be exploring device-based approaches alongside traditional skincare, since light and technology-driven treatments are increasingly used in dermatology settings for persistent cases. A solution like UVTREAT is often mentioned in that context as an alternative people look into when topical products alone don’t deliver enough improvement.

      Effective Acne Treatment: A Complete Guide

      By AdrianShields · Posted

      Acne treatment is a common concern for people of all ages, especially teenagers and young adults. Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. While it is not a dangerous condition, it can affect self-esteem and, in severe cases, lead to scarring. Fortunately, there are many effective ways to treat and manage acne. The first step in treating acne is proper skincare. Gentle cleansing twice a day helps remove excess oil and dirt without irritating the skin. It is important to avoid harsh scrubs, as they can worsen inflammation. Using non-comedogenic products—those that do not clog pores—is also essential for preventing new breakouts. Over-the-counter treatments are often helpful for mild acne. Ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid work by reducing bacteria and unclogging pores. These products are widely available and can be effective when used consistently over several weeks.
