Angelo

Hi Becky, I'm Angelo - 58 years old. Just getting started with ASL. I'm on lesson 5 of LifePrint and did a little other reading before LifePrint. I'd love to practice, but I would be at a much lower/slower level than you. If you are fine with that - let me know. Thanx! Angelo

Hi Alicja, I'm a newbie on lesson 4 of lifeprint. I would someone to practice with on FB. If you are interested let me know what would be a good time for you. Thanx! Angelo

Hi Daron, You mentioned that these chat rooms aren't the greatest. These are the only chat rooms I've been in. What do the other chat rooms have to offer? I just got skype and chatted with my daughter once. I signed just as poorly in skype as I do in these chat rooms. Angelo

Jen. I'm sorry I got your name mixed up. I don't remember who Rose is now. I'll try to get on in the wee hours of the night. Angelo (or you can call me Jack 😄

What I was trying to say is: Hi Rose, My son had surgery last week. I was sick. It’s been a month since I’ve signed. You sign late (at night), so I’ll log in late tonight or tomorrow night. Hope to see you then.

If either of you guys are interested in signing - I'm a definite NEWBIE. I sign and finger slow and read them even slower. I'll probably be checking in around 9 or 10 tomorrow night to see if you want to chat. I'm gonna have to check out LifePrint. If we do the same lessons at the same time - it would be great for us to practice together.

You da man! Thanx for pointing out the four choices for BECAUSE. You've definitely demonstrated the difference between the 4th because and forget. I do appreciate. Thanx!

As I am getting ready to go to work - it occurred to me. The word was BECAUSE. According to HANDSPEAK.com, FORGET and BECAUSE have the same sign. I have noticed that there are a few other signs on HANDSPEAK.com that are different than I learned on www.signlanguage101.com I wonder if this is a mistake, or a dialect difference or something else. Any thoughts? Thanx! Angelo

I was looking for a sign the other day and the result was the exact same sign as the sign for FORGET. I can't remember what sign I was looking up. Any ideas?

Hi Rolando, I'm real new at ASL and slow at finger spelling. In the first video, It looked like you were finger spelling the word "lisapoint". Did I misread? If not, what does that mean? Would you please interpret the 2nd video. I really could not understand it at all. Thank you Thanx - I misread "D" as an "L". They don't call me newbie for nothing. The 2nd video is over my head - but I'm still learning. I appreciate the help!

Thanx!!!

OOPS - I tried to change my first post and it got duplimicated. Anyway, I will be out of town today (Sunday) and I will check in tomorrow. If you tell me when you are most likely to be online, I'll check then and create a Chat Room. Thanx! Angelo

Hi Jen, As you can see, I am very much a newbie. VERY MUCH. If you can put up with my being super slow - for now - I would love to chat and get some practice ASLing. I may be going see my boys today and will be in the chat room tomorrow night. What is your best time of day to chat? I'll usually check in between 9 PM CST and midnight. I'll try to check in also around your best time of day. If you are interested - go to the video chat room and leave a message. I'll respond. I usually start my own chat room and limit it to 2 people because I have a hard enough time chatting with 1 person. Add a second person and I am completely lost. CYA Angelo PS - I know I am very monotone right now, because I have to think of how to sign. Facial expressions will come.

Very good! I understood some of this and will watch it again later as I learn more ASL. Thanx!!!
