Sign Language for beginners is relatively easy to learn.

However, don't let this fool you!

Although signs can seem pretty straightforward at first, they can be used in more complex ways. Changing the position of your fingers and hands, will change the meaning of the message that you sign.

In addition, over 300 different types of Sign Language exist, so be sure that you are learning the right signs for the particular type of Sign Language you want to use. Like every language is unique to its own country, so is a particular sign language to its country of origin.

South African Sign Language (SASL) is the main type of Sign Language used in South Africa.

The five elements that are used to conveny meaning in SASL are:

- Hand shape

- Orientation

- Location

- Movement

- Non-manual features.

Although you may find communicating using non-verbal elements tricky at first, learning to sign has a number of benefits. Learning Sign Language, like any other new language, offers benefits such as increased employability and improved cognitive skills. Mastering Sign Language will help you communicate with the Deaf or those who are hard of hearing, and widen your social network.

You can learn South African Sign Language with the support and guidance of a dedicated private tutor.
