When I was last on a Zoom call with my brothers and sister we somehow mentioned the use of sign language. I can’t remember what the context was, possibly when we were talking about the sign language being used in the daily press conferences on COVID, but I know I mentioned how as children we used to try to use this finger spelling when we were in church and were not meant to be talking.
Strange how coincidences happen. Just a few days after our Zoom call I found this poster when I was having my recent yearly check up at the doctor’s surgery. It certainly brought back memories. I think I learnt it as a child either with my friends at school or possibly in the Girl Guides.
Did you learn finger spelling as a child or as an adult?

Yes, I seem to recall I did but I wasn’t very good at it!
I know I was certainly not proficient either.
I attempted to learn it in the Guides. Years later I learnt a simplified version used with kids with multiple disabilities for choir/music groups. I am hopeless at learning languages and I provided great laughter mixing up the signs regularly.
I love how you provided a source of laughter with your mixed up signs.
