yes, those letters are confusing, especially including “a” and “s”. Difficult to see the thumb placement on these tiny images. e seems to be more clenched into the hand (like a claw) while the others are more open or relaxed - still hard to differentiate. no easy tips to offer…sorry. The typical advice is to use “context” (figuring out the word from the other letters), but that is extra challenging for a non English speaker. impressed to see a Greek tackling ASL. i assume Pal… is your hometown in Corfu? Be patient, and keep on struggling!! ihope to see you move up the leagues, slow but sure.

live stream sign feature

I’ve been learning ASL on this app for a long time now, and it’s been really helpful. But sometimes when I have the seldom chance to sign with real people, I get a little lost. I think it would be great if the app had a live video feature where learners can sign with actual people in real time. It would make learning more interactive, fun, and easier to understand especially for people like me who love ASL but don’t have anyone to practice signing with.

Free game

Can you guys please make a free game even like a endless quiz game. I really need a review because I lock in so hard and then I have trouble remembering all the words

Add a flag to report

I wish there was a flag to report typos or something that needs to be reviewed within each lesson. I just finished watching a video that signed that she liked chicken noodle soup, but there's a sign after "chicken" that looks like "sushi." I found it a weird soup, but it was an option, so I chose it. It was wrong. I also saw "don't" spelled as "do'nt" in another lesson. I feel bad that I can't flag things to help improve the app.

InterSign on YouTube?

Do you all have a YouTube channel? If not, it would be a great way to advertise this app. I'd definitely love people doing a newsletter, telling jokes or stories in ASL with it maybe repeated with captions.

YouTube is a fun way to learn.

There are lots of videos on learning the basics, conversational ASL, sentence structure and more!
