Hello Everybody!

I am glad I found this site. I have always been interested in Deaf Culture and Sign Language. In High School my best friend who dreamed of becoming an interpreter taught me some sign language so we could talk in class...lol. Ever since I have been trying to learn more. Only thing is that there are not many deaf people around me and she eventually moved away. The other day I saw a customer struggling to communicate because their phone wasn't charged and they couldn't text. I was able to help a little but I knew I could have been a better help if only I had practiced more. This led me here. I hope to sharpen my skills and meet some awesome people.😊

      Looking For Friendly Humans to give Feedback on ASL Dialogue Lines in a Video Game Project

      By gnuuser · Posted

      i think its great you are designing this game but will there be a big enough market for it? thats something im not sure of. i personally think a really great idea. there are many deaf people who miss out on many things because it isnt designed for a deaf person in mind.

      Im learning asl because:

      By gnuuser · Posted

      Im learning asl because my wife and a few friends are deaf, (2) I am a firefighter and sign language is very handy in a noisy place. I watch closely when meeting some patients and sign to then when i speak to them. if they are deaf it makes it easier for me to pass on information when we are directing traffic at accident scenes. sometimes patients are deaf and i may not know it but it helps us to communicate accurately with other non signers. (3) we have had multiple requests to teach asl in our department so my wife and i are organizing as much information as we can. and (4) it is a lot of fun!
