Hello everyone! My name is Dexter and I'm 24 years old. I have been trying to get immersed in ASL and the deaf community for a while because I love the uniqueness of the language and culture and I really think it can be really useful for me and others in my community. I've learned a few things here and there but because I have nobody to practice with I lose it all and have to start all over. Anybody need an ASL buddy? :)

Me! Lol I just found this site and would love to have an ASL buddy! I use modified Sign with my Son but he struggles to communicate back often, and we don’t use the ASL structure, just key words, so it is not really the immersion and practice I probably need!

      Greeting to the forum

      Hi everyone! I'm a hearing husband with a deaf wife, and I'm a retired electrician and safety instructor. I know some sign language, but I'm hoping this site will help me improve my skills and support others in our local fire department. Although there aren't many deaf people in my community, I have many deaf friends from different places. We always have a great time together, and they're wonderfully patient while teaching me new signs! I'm excited to be here, learn more, and connect with everyone. Looking forward to being part of the community! geometry dash

      Hello

      By Leah P. · Posted

      My name is Leah and I started learning ASL to help people communicate where there are language barriers. For instance: I just started volunteering at a nature center and I hope that one day I'll be able to help someone connect there. I'm also applying for a job at my local YMCA for the Member Services desk. It would be great to help the deaf and hard of hearing community connect there also. I'm very excited about learning ASL. I love helping people. 😊

      I am taking my first class of ASL at a local community college.   I am hearing.  The teacher is Deaf and fantastic.   The language is beautiful.   I am learning because I have 3 neuro-divergent kids and I think this would be a good way to connect with them.
