Have any of you learned to sign your name yet? Or can you even do that? Do you have to spell it to sign it or is there a specific sign for your name?

🌠Bonus Question: if you could make a sign for your name what would it be, and also whats your name!

One of the first things you should learn how to sign is your name because that one of the first things you are going to do in communicating is exchange names. You fingerspell your name. Don’t focus on speed. Take your time and focus on accuracy. speed will come in time. if you interact with the deaf community enough a deaf person will give you a sign name which more times than not will not be based off your actual name but a physical feature or characteristic of yourself. Courtesy dictates that your sign name is given to you not created by you. Once you have a sign name further introductions start by finger spelling your actual name followed by the sign of your sign name. I am hearing but started learning sign language because my grandson was born nonverbal. Being given a sign name is an honor but it’s based off the community or environment your in. introducing yourself to some not from that community or environment may require an explanation of how you got your sign name if your sign name is not based off something obvious about you.

It’s not about having a sign that represents your name. You sign name if given to you by a deaf person is a quick way to identify you if they are talking about you to someone else. for instant A girl in my ASL class, her name was Jacklyn. She had long black curly hair. The sign name given to her was the little finger pointing to her hair and spiraling down. She was the only girl in the group who had long hair so that created motion was an easy way to reference her.

you would normally finger spell your name then a deaf person could give you a name that represents you.

Hello lovely people, did the League update for you? For me only the 'x days left' reset to the 6 days.

competition

I love this app. I feel so committed and I am in first place ahead by 300 points. I just wish you could learn unlimited lessons a day and not have the hearts. It gives duolingo vibes

Grand Champion

First, let me congratulate all of the people sitting here at Grand Champion this week. 🥳🎉 Next, I think the novelty of competition has worn off now. The anxiety of competing against 4 people to stay in the top 2 will be my undoing. That's too much stress. 🤣 I'll still keep my streak but, I think it's time for me to find another place to learn more so I can truly be fluent. Afterall, I'm doing this so I can teach my deaf son since cochlear repeatedly fails him. Again, congrats. You all are doing great. 🥰🤗

Demoted from Diamond I to Ruby I even when I keep up daily practice without a miss.

I just found out today that I have been demoted from Diamond I to Ruby I. I was on Diamond I yesterday, and didn't miss a day of six lessons. Can InterSign please let me know why I was demoted from Diamond I to Ruby I. What was the reason for this? I demand a reinstatement of my Diamond I level if this was a glitch, a mistake, and if there's no reason for this demotion. If this is justified, please let me and other learners know what we can do to avoid this even after we don't miss our daily random 6 lessons.
