    You use srs units files at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages. Don't ask about passes, one file=one pass.

    Good luck with the learning part...
    Just in case keep a notebook and a pen handy,sticky notes works also
    Not the best way but rules out the guessing part...
    And you must be aware that sometimes deaf people learn fast how to read lips and body language
    Try to speak when they can see your mouth, try to make your presence noticed in other way that sounds,flick a light...
    Pretty hard to leave with somebody that can't hear,it will be a steep learning curve for you

    There are indeed many versions of sign language. And they vary for age groups as well. Mr Tumble for example uses makaton, and my son uses that, so you can pick up lots from watching that program.

    There are plenty of videos on youtube showing sign language, even ones with swearing! Best bit of swearing I can do in sign language is "You donkey raping shite eater" Doesn't come in handy to much tbh. But the makaton we use everyday.
