Required prior knowledge

No prior knowledge is required. There are, however, some technical requirements: sign language is a manual-visual, not an oral-auditory language. Sign language is recorded on video. Nowadays, this can be done effortlessly with a smartphone, tablet, webcam, compact camera or digital mirror reflex camera with video function, an outdoor headmount camera, and of course, with an analog or digital camera. For watching, downloading and uploading a text recorded on video, you need a laptop, tablet, smartphone, desktop, or smart TV with broadband internet access.
