For a while now I was interested in learning a sign language. I find the phenomenon of spoken and written language amazing: people make sounds or scribble scribbles and magically it conveys meaning; I’ve been curious letting this significance sip into the gestures of people.
If I would learn a sign language, it would probably be DGS (German sign language) as I’m currently residing in Germany. Initially I had regarded the main challenge of this project to be in the ankinization (creating the deck) rather than in the rehearsing, but I later discovered that there’s a video-dictionary (also for many other sign languages) at spreadthesign.com1 in what seems to be a scrape-friendly layout. Since one can simply drag and drop video into the card-creation-window of anki, the process of ankinization should be rather swift. The videos are around 140kb each, meaning the media data storage of 1000 cards would be around 140mg ––– far from catastrophic.
I’m looking forward for the moment I’ll get the deck ankinized and ready for learning.
