Hi! I'm Demi. I have decided to pick up ASL because it seems very fascinating and interesting. I've been in the situation before where I meet someone who is deaf and have no idea how to communicate with them. After watching a short film on youtube about being deaf it made me want to learn ASL. I'm still really new, but I'd like to have a practice partner so I could work on my speed and reading skills.

Even as a hearing person, you can benefit immensely from learning to sign. Here's why. You can meet new people, be more sensitive human benchmark to the environment around you, and develop skills you didn't know you could possess.To sharpen your cognitive skills by experiencing a different way of learning. To explore the multiple perspectives on deafness and communication.Many careers involve interacting with deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals, such as teaching, interpreting, or working in the healthcare field

I’m learning ASL because I want to become an ASL interpreter, it is my dream job. I want to also connect more with this beautiful community.
