Is it me or the amount of free resources for asl isnt many
To me, it's extremely weird how asl is behind a paywall or hard to find the correct words vs any other language
Right now I'm trying to learn how to sign Silver Springs by Fleetwood (So I can sign and sing) and honestly, it's making me notice that asl is WAY harder to learn if you don't have money versus anything you can speak
If I wanted to learn Spanish, I could download one free app and be done with it, but asl?? I have 3, apps one website, Google, YouTube, and TikTok, and I'm still having issues, u also gotta worry people aren't signing right (Bc of people not using grammar) but with other languages? Maybe one person pronounces it wrong but other than that, you're set and to me it seems like theres an imbalance in resorces for siging vrs speaking when it should be just the same
Most apps I've had let u do some lessons for free or one a day but the rest? U gotta pay for all the lessons, (Which i understand but what of people who truely need asl cabt affrord it) one of my apps lets me do 1 - 2 lessons per day and that's insane to me I have Bloom, Inter Sign ASL, inter sign asl and have looked at others that sucked
But with anything else where u gotta speak all u really need is something like dou hell google translate is free but I seriously can't find ANYTHING that's working
Videos of what I'm trying to learn sometimes can be blurry, the person moves too much or too little so idk whats right, and if u wanna make a sentence, might as well look for 15 minutes I was looking for flashing and had to look for 5 minutes for the word alone
I've tried to learn Japanese and how much free resources you can get vs something one day can be put upon you by whatever that you can't over time learn can't be a thing I only find weird
Like I'm stuck on the start of the song and I can't find anything on how to say it fully right only the sparse words then u gotta think about how asl isnt like English grammar and you don't say the full thing
It's honestly weird to me and I can't tell if I can't find the right apps or if its truely this hard to learn asl without money
(EDIT mant comments have been saying things and I didnt mean my post to come off that way i ment it as it should have as much resources as learning a speaking language vrs asl bc thers so many free things for speaking vrs asl ALSO NOT FOR ME im syaing it shoukd be just as easy for people who need it please ANYONE tell me how to reword this i dont understand how it came off like that (Im trying to reword this rn)
