      Becoming a Polyglot

      By Alyssa Jordan Kelley Marshall · Posted

      One of my biggest dreams is to become a polyglot and know at least 4-5 languages. I'm a native English speaker, a practicing and functional Spanish speaker and now I am hoping to learn ASL as my third language. I studied in Highschool and took a few classes, but I haven't done much practicing since. I hope to brush up on what I learned and improve my vocabulary and conversation skills. Nice to meet you all!

      Lex from Korea

      By iamlex43 · Posted

      Hey, 
      My name is Lex. I am American but settling down in Korea. For the tourism industry, I want to be able to provide ASl as well. Most HOH/Def students in Korea study ASL well so this would be the most universal sign language that I could learn. 

      I am a complete beginner. So looking to take tips from anyone. 

      Thank you.

      Excited to meet new people who are HOH/Deaf(:

      Hi everyone, my name is Lindsay, I'm 28 years old, and have CP (cerebral palsy). ASL has become the most useful tool in my life, to help me communicate with others around me, and in my community. I would like to learn more sign language to help me communicate with others in my life, to make new friends, and meet new people. I know the basic signs, and a little more.. I'm not able to verbally communicate due to my CP, so being able to learn more singing would be wonderful!!

      When to sign "I Love You" using the version with "I","L" & "Y" vs "I" + "Love" + "You"

      By Daron McNutt · Posted

      This is the perfect place to post this!  In my experience, the ILY handshape version is more friendly and succinct, good for goodbyes to friends or lovers(works for groups too).  The  I, Love, You version is more emotive, and can be used more emphatically.  I would use it for emphasis or if you're trying to make a stronger point(body movement and facial expression are vital).  Hope this helps!

      When to sign "I Love You" using the version with "I","L" & "Y" vs "I" + "Love" + "You"

      By Benn · Posted

      Sorry if the title was confusing, I'm taking an ASL 1 class at my high school and we have learned how to sign "I Love You" using the signs "I" + "Love" + "You" and the abbreviated version using "I" "L" and "Y" on one hand. I was wondering whether or not there was a difference in the significance between the two and when to use either one. Sorry if this was the wrong place to post this! I'm very new to the forum.
