Are those who are interested in learning BSL can look at this new website:

NDCS Family Sign Language Website

It's awesome. Funny... the sign for "deaf" here means "hearing" in BSL!

Hmm, not sure about BSL, but in Australia, "hearing" has a double-tap, so not identical to ASL's sign for "Deaf" - still was similar enough to get me confused when I was just starting to learn Auslan...

Here, we sign "Deaf" with not one, but two fingers. :)
 
That website looks brilliant. About time there are something like this for parents with Deaf kids.

That's right, the deaf in ASL is very similar to the hearing one, in Auslan let alone double tapped. Otherwise - Auslan - Signbank is the australian sign language website, if you all are interested ;)
