Each gesture represents either a concept, a word or a letter.  In those cases where a gesture doesn&#8217;t exist for a particular idea, a word can be spelled out, letter by letter, using finger spelling.  Want to learn some sign language?  Better than a printed book, the following sites use animation and movies to illustrate the many subtleties of signing.<\/P><br \/>\n<A HREF=\"http:\/\/where.com\/scott.net\/asl\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>ASL Finger Spelling<\/h2>\n<p>http:\/\/where.com\/scott.net\/asl\/<br \/>\n<\/A><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/star5.gif\" alt=\"*****\" width=\"250\" height=\"34\"><br \/>\n<P>&#8220;Welcome to the ASL Fingerspelling site!

In her well-organized site, she discusses American Sign Language (ASL), interpreting, and introduces Deaf (capital &#8220;D&#8221;) Culture versus the mainstream definition of deafness (small &#8220;d&#8221;) as a disability. &#8220;Because there is a deaf community with its own language and Culture, there is a cultural frame in which to be deaf is not to be disabled. Quite the contrary, it is as we have seen an asset in Deaf Culture to be deaf in behavior, values, knowledge, and fluency in ASL. Deafness is not a disability but rather a different way of being.&#8221;<\/P><br \/>\n<A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.handspeak.com\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>Handspeak<\/h2>\n<p>http:\/\/www.handspeak.com\/<\/A><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/star4.gif\" alt=\"****\" width=\"201\" height=\"32\"><br \/>\n<P>Why learn sign language?  &#8220;You can sign with your mouth full.&#8221; &#8220;You can talk and talk as much as you like in a library.&#8221; &#8220;You can be sure that nobody can overhear through doors.&#8221; &#8220;Sign language is beautiful, unique and graceful.&#8221;  In addition to covering various aspects of Deaf Culture (including stories, artwork, and history), Handspeak has a dictionary of sign language words illustrated with animated photos.
