Thank you so much for doing this video I see how difficult this is and I would love to be that good . But I really am not suited for that hard of a conversation yet.i knew it would be hard. I didn't know where to start with that conversation glad you showed us what that looks like and you had to do your homework on that on . Thank you again.

[@signlanguagepractice]

It was a great challenge!

[@tinamoore338]

Yes please create more of this kind on content and I had one other question I know you said you are a coda can or would one of your parents sign something simple so we can see what this would have looked like in the family. If you can't I understand your folks may not want to do this.

[@signlanguagepractice]

Think my family is a bit too camera shy

[@tinamoore338]

I have a question. When traveling to another country is the signing the same or different? Do most people go with or without an interpreter? It seems there could be alot of challenges at home as well as abroad could you try to elaborate more on this topic. Ty

[@signlanguagepractice]

Every country has it's own unique sign language. There are similarities between sign languages as there are with some languages and English. However, as an example, it is easier for me to understand some countries where Spanish is the dominant language rather than England where British Sign Language (BSL) fingerspelling is very different.

[@tinamoore338]

@@signlanguagepractice OK thank you. I was wondering about that.
