what this is not

A complete DGS dictionary would run to thousands of signs, regional variants, and grammar that still images cannot hold. This page lists only the 10 signs in DGS that signLingo actually ships — the same list translate and practice draw from. Signs we left out of the course because they collide or do not grade reliably are not here either. For the rest, learn from Deaf teachers.
