Sorry for abandoning this blog!

Unfortunately I am disabled and sometimes my disability causes me to be very ill and unable to keep up with things like this. My disability is neurological and leads to forgetfulness and brain fog. I've had to restart my language learning process all over again.

While I was away Duolingo updated their Japanese lessons and the previous posts I made are no longer correct haha

Oh well! Let's enjoy a new start together!

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

(This blog is NOT an official Duolingo blog. It's a personal blog used to catalogue and share my learning experience with Duolingo)

Japanese Sign Language

There aren't any sources in English for Japanese Sign Language. At least I haven't found any yet. I found information on Tofugu first. And just went from there. These are just a few books and channels I watch.

1) Deaf in Japan

This is the only book I've found in English. Basically deaf culture in Japan and politics.

2) 日本手話のしくみ (The structure of Japanese sign language?)

I haven't gotten too far in this one. My nihongo is not that jozu so I'm reading it slowly.

3) Shuwa dictionary (it comes with a fingerspelling chart)

This dictionary is easier to use than the first one I picked up. It can be searched by the Japanese alphabet instead of by hand signs, so its good for beginner.

4) Watashi tachi shuwa (dictionary)

This one is a bit advanced. If you don't know part of the sign you're looking for it's a bit tough to use. (I put this one aside for later) So I wouldn't rush to get this one unless you're already familiar.

Youtube channels I find useful. Only one of them has subtitles, and two use voice over. I'll label them. *These channels have no sounds or background music.*

MakiRafael JSL - Basic JSL, easy to follow, has English subtitles. Other channel

DeafJapan TV - This channel uses both ASL and JSL. There is a voice over on this channel, you might have to use a headset to hear or turn up the speakers because its soft sometimes. No subtitles.

naochannel - She does basic phrases. Subtitles are in Japanese and she does speak but only Japanese.

There is a website in English.

I only put the beginner things here. But if you want anything else, I can try to help, just know that most is in Japanese.

Good luck!
