LOL Canadian deafies speak ASL as well but kinda different Canadian ASL dialect and USA ASL dialect lol
my native sign is Inuit sign language and ASL (Canadian ASL) and i knows some all signs LSQ, LSE, BSL, NZSL, BANZSL JSL etc lol
So is it more like a really divergent dialect of ASL? Those darn Quebeckies, trying to start their own sign language!

I believe things like that would be the best way, for me, if I were to learn ASL from online materials. It's a lot easier to see the signs and emotions in context rather than just from a dictionary.
I think that the facial expressions are easiest to learn by interacting with other signers. Try finding a real-life signing community--for one, you haven't had any luck finding Unilangers (and I don't have any sort of video capabilities) and for two, ASL is highly regionalized so the signs you learned from me (as an example) would probably be relatively different from the signs used up your way. I mean, I haven't had trouble communicating with Deaf people outside of Austin, but I can definitely tell that they have an accent that's different from mine.Hildakojon wrote:Today I started Lesson 14. This unit is about weather and seasons. Is it sad that already, after only 2 or so weeks, I can form sentences better in ASL than Basque, which I've been studying for almost 2 years? I guess it helps having someone to practice with. ASL just feels very natural to me. I struggle a bit with using facial expressions, but I'm getting better.
