SteveG Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hello. My name is Steve. Sorry for taking a long time to write my intro. I am hearing 46 years old gay man living in south Texas. I have one year of learning American sign language under my belt. I completed one year in April 2021. I love signing. I love learning languages. I speak Spanish as well. I attempted to learn sign language in 1998 from a book. The book was just black and white drawings and it was very difficult to understand the signs. I tried again in 2005, but with no luck. I finally dove into it a year ago. I had a very good reason for wanting to learn; personal reasons. Now here I am, going into the second year of signing. It is very difficult and a bit boring to learn on your own. Let me clarify, I have two qualified ASL instructors. I do not see them every month, but I have stuck with them for over a year now. When I do not see them, I send them videos of my progress. I sign to myself all the time. I finger spell when I drive. But I have no ASL friends to sign with. Hoping to make some friends, but until then, I continue to learn on my own, with the help of my two instructors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
