Instruction manual
1
If you know English well (and in this case, a repeater will not be enough), go to one of the English-language sites (for example, www.handspeak.com ), devoted not only to sign language, but to all the difficulties deaf and dumb people face daily. It is possible that when you familiarize yourself with the materials of these sites, you will understand that sign language is not children's fun and you should be careful with people who can’t communicate with this world in a different way.

Unfortunately, there are practically no such Russian-language sites. Recently, however, several blogs devoted to the sign language and the problems of the adaptation of the deaf-mute have been maintained by enthusiasts. One of them is http://jestov.net . On this site you can find practical guidance on how to learn this language, read news and leave your comments about what you read.

Buy a fingerprint tutorial. Such textbooks are now rarely seen on the market (except for textbooks that present incomplete and truncated information about sign language). Therefore, you will need to order it in one of the online stores or contact a large book center and, after reading the catalog, fill out an application.

Therefore, you will need to order it in one of the online stores or contact a large book center and, having familiarized yourself with the catalog, fill out an application. So, you can order a recently published dictionary of sign language, containing about 1800 items. You should not assume that in this language, in fact, there are so many gestures. The fact is that many concepts are compound. For example, 2 gestures: “man” and “marry” mean the word “husband” in translation. Therefore, in the process of studying it, it is necessary to acquire the skill of separating connotation (a word in a context, its emotional aspect, etc.) and denotation (direct meaning of a word).
5
Contact the Deaf Society (the Society of the Deaf in Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus) in order to book a textbook through them or enroll in courses that are periodically organized by society activists for those who decide to learn this language. Please note: for healthy people, training is carried out only on a fee basis. If you live in Moscow, contact a special center for learning sign language.
6
Go to one of the social networks and find an already registered group that is studying sign language, or organize your own.
7
Buy a sign language DVD course designed specifically for hearing people who want to learn it. It also contains about 1800 of the most common gestures necessary for communication in everyday life.
