Important Facts about Sign Language:

Sign Language is not a language that can be written, it is visual descriptions of what you want to say. Therefore when using this program, think in pictures, instead of words.

When using Sign Language, there are various ways to express what you want to say:

• Primarily using hand forms
• Arm movements
• Head movements
• Facial expressions
• Body language

All of the above plays a big role in Sign Language. As this is a Basic Vocabulary Sign course, we will concentrate on the first three. In the Advanced Sign Language course, we will focus on the last two including Sign Language communication.
