Hello!

My name is Reny, and I am searching for opportunities to practice ASL. I am hearing, and I am learning ASL as an independent study for school. I want to learn this language right, which is hard to do without another pair of eyes, so that is why I'm here. I am a novice in ASL, but I do already know some syntax, a handful of signs, and my alphabet, even if I do stumble a bit. I am looking forward to getting to know this community, and I am hoping I can be of assistance to others, as they are to me.

I am also hearing. I used to sign when I was younger because I had friends that were deaf. I started working again and would like to and would like to start back practicing my sign language

Hello, my name is Terri. I am learning ASL at my community College. In the middle of my first semester. I am enjoying it but need help keeping things fresh and reading fingerspell. It seems SO fast. 

Would love to set up a time/day to have a chat group.

Okay so I have gotten A LOT more responses than I expected, which I very much appreciate. Now I don’t have a lot of free time, and I’ve found someone who I’ve been studying with on this site. I want to make sure that all the people who responded to my post can get a partner, but having such a big group would probably be complicated. So I’m hoping that maybe in this thread people will be able to find someone they would like to work with. I’m very thankful for all the offers, this is a wonderful community but I don’t believe that I can handle this big a group of people. If you can’t find anyone to practice with then I’d be glad to help, but I believe that there are a lot of people in this comment section who also are looking for partners. Thankyou all again!

-Reny

    • That’s a great reason to start learning ASL. Having a practice partner would definitely help, especially with getting more comfortable with reading signs and keeping up with a real conversation. It’s also nice that you want to learn because you’ve had situations where communication was difficult. Just keep practicing and don’t worry about being perfect at the beginning—everyone starts somewhere. spin mama 
    • You might see a familiar pattern and immediately think you know the answer. Your brain naturally wants to complete the word as quickly as possible. However, tha t first idea isn’t always  dordle correct.
    • Security staff should be prepared to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing visitors in a clear and respectful way. Simple gestures, written instructions, visual signs, and mobile phones can all help when spoken communication is not effective. Improve Event Safety At busy venues, communication becomes even more important. Teams providing Crowd Management Services should make sure safety instructions, evacuation routes, entry rules, and emergency information are accessible to everyone. Staff should know how to gain attention politely and avoid creating confusion during stressful situations. Train Security Teams Basic deaf awareness training can make a real difference. Security officers should remain patient, maintain eye contact, and use clear visual cues when needed. Build a More Inclusive Environment Good communication improves both safety and visitor experience. By planning for different communication needs, security teams can create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.
