The reason I'm learning ASL is because I'm an advocate for communication. My major is Communication Disorders and Deaf Education. I work with children who are nonverbal and I teach baby sign to little ones. I want to learn more because it is important for everyone to have a voice whether or not they can be physically heard. I also joined an ASL group at my church but it's a mix of ASL and FSL (Filipino Sign Language) so some words might be different when I sign. I also met a girl from my church who lost her hearing and she inspired me to learn sign language. If anyone's willing to practice with me, I only took ASL 1 and that was about 2 years ago so I'm not very fluent so perhaps we can help each other. Shoot me a message on here!

  I made an ASL discord server. It has a teen only area and an adult area as well as sections for beginners, intermediate, advanced, and fluent as well as a mixed level and age area. I hope to see y’all there so that we learn, practice, and grow together. https://discord.gg/CmQrzAhf

  I just got 45! I'm getting really good I feel! I always like to find a good speed, then just read off the letters as they come up, and spell the word, then once i'm good at recognizing what letter it is, I try to pronounce the word as it comes through, I find that helps the most when it comes to learning with this game! hopefully I can get to 50 in 2 mins by the end of the week.
