so me and my siblings are hearing and both of our parents are deaf so we learned sign at the age of one so i know sign but my aunt married a hearing guy who doesn't know sign he only knows fingerspelling so i recommended this and i hope he uses it if any f you guys are interested in meeting deaf people there is a lot of deaf people in Gainesville my mom is friends wit them and we meet new deaf people everyday so come to Gainesville sometimes to communicate and show that you are learning sign it's a pretty cool thing to learn and teach .

 

 

Love, kaprice merritt.

      Newbie!

      By Shona Williams · Posted

      Hi everyone! My name is Shona and I am an undergraduate biology student in Toronto, ON. I am currently learning ASL in school as an elective and it's been great but a little tough. I'm in my second year of learning ASL but am having trouble retaining the signs I've learned. I would love to become fluent and am looking for someone to practice with!

      Introduction

      By Nhi Le · Posted

      Hey ya'll!! My name is Nhi and I am learning ASL right now in school. I have always wanted to learn and when I noticed that it was a class that I could take, I was SO excited. Unfortunately, I am a very slow learner and it is hard to make friends to help me in my class because of COVID. I hope being on here will help!!

      Why I want to learn

      By Mor_gan206 · Posted

      I want to learn because I think it is a very amazing way that there is a language anybody can use without using their voice, not just that but it is fun, cool, and interesting to learn and do.

      Best online dictionary that includes finger spelling the word

      By Nancy E · Posted

      Hi!  My name is Nancy, and I’m new to this site, and hoping there might be some good advice here.  I learned finger spelling in ASL as I was growing up from a school friend who was patient enough to teach me.  Recently I was looking up the meaning of the word online, and somehow I found a great online dictionary that included pronunciation, meanings, alternate spellings and the ASL finger spelling of it at the bottom.  It was phenomenal, but I cannot find it now, after multiple searches.  I know it exists...just can’t find it again, argh.  I’ve worked in health care (as a nursing assistant, and a nurse) and have found ASL invaluable...so glad I learned at least the finger spelling level.  It has been invaluable. If I could find that dictionary again, I think there is interest for a lot of people who may not have been as lucky as I was to have learned it in childhood.  That dictionary I felt also raised awareness of the need to be open to learning this level.  I wish all dictionaries were so thoughtful!  Now that I’ve searched for this particular dictionary, I sadly see that is not the case.  Has anyone got an idea about this dictionary resource?  If so, I would so appreciate a link.  Thank you so much.
