Hey, my name is Kayla.  I'm from the Rochester, NY where there is a high Deaf/HoH populations thanks to the presence of NTID at RIT.  I recently got a job there and would like to improve upon the skills that I learned a couple of years back.  I made it through three classes, but it has been a while since I've had anybody to practice with. Let me know if you'd like to practice conversational skills!

Kayla, I would be interested in practicing. I am from LaVista Nebraska so our times are a little off, but we can send correspondense back and forth.  let me know if your interested or if you have already found someone. I am not sure if there is a way to message one another, but I am sure we can figure something out.

Sure, what is the time difference for us? I am available at multiple points during the day, so I feel we could work it out. I'm not sure about guidelines for this site but if it allows you, you can email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

I am sorry I have not gotten back to you. We had three surgeries this month and all of them were bunched together. I sent a small video hoping you can understand it. My time here in Nebraska is Central Standard time. I can facetime through messagner or we can send messages back and forth. 

If we do it this way, I think it might be best to write out what the other person signed. Send it back with the decoded message and put in a new message. Does that make sense?

Let me know I'll watch my email for you

So sorry for the delayed response. I am acting as the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding this summer and it has taken over my life! 

Ok, here's what i got from your post.

"Hi, my name is Linda. I am married. I work and live in West Grand Rapids? Goodbye!"

Let me know if I missed anything...I am rusty.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • However, it tends to cover all aspects of the business curriculum in much greater depth. You get a formal degree qualification after spending a significant amount of time. Normally, it is more suitable for people seeking a comprehensive business education rather than for those focusing on and sharpening a single skill.
