Hello everyone, and thank you Suzanne for this brainstorming idea -

I can see that Duolingo is a wonderful program for teaching and learning spoken languages - and I agree it is a wonderful idea to have such a program for learning, reading and writing sign languages too - but the software for sign languages, using SignWriting, is still under development - but it will come …

I immediately thought of Amit Moryossef’s work when I read your message, Suzanne, and Amit just posted the next message - so let’s read what Amit has to say! See you next message -

Val ;-)

I have no idea about the technical limitations of Duolingo, but I really like it as a user and it is very well-known. I just had a little go at learning Arabic on Duolingo and it starts with teaching you the alphabet. In a similar way it could start teaching you how SignWriting works and next use SignWriting to teach you the actual sign language (like ASL).
