Hello! 

My name is Belal. I’m a Biologist/Software Developer based between the UK and Germany and I'm just starting to learn American Sign Language.

I wanted to reach out to the deaf/hearing impaired community about a sign language project I’m working on for my computer science graduate course. The main aim is translating American Sign Language from video/images into text. It's a bit like Google Translate but only for really basic American Sign Language. The idea is to make this tool freely available on a website or smartphone, so non-signers can:

(i) understand basic ASL

(ii) learn & practice basic ASL (my main motivation!)

It would be really great to get input from the community to find out what is useful for signers when communicating with non-signers in daily life. I would also like to collect some more video examples of basic phrases to improve the tool. Please get in touch if you're interested or have any questions :)

Best regards

Belal

      Hi everybody, nice to meet you!

      I've started an ASL course, and while looking for practice resources, I came across this forum.  Since I'm just starting to learn ASL, I'm unfortunately still incapable of signing full sentences and such, but I hope this will change, soon. I'm looking forward to being able to learn from your forum entries, and hopefully contribute my own. Greetings 😊

      I am unsure of how to indicate "past 9 pm"; I am trying to say  "past 9 pm, I dislike (going to) sleep" (I like going to sleep early, but need to indicate that I do not like so I need to say, I do not like going to sleep past 9 pm)   Thank you so much. I appreciate all constructive feedback. :)
