My name is Destiny, and I'm new here!  I know extremely little ASL at the moment (I sometimes mess up parts of the alphabet, embarrassingly...), but I know a few signs.  I am not deaf, but I am hard of hearing, and due to PTSD there are times when I become effectively mute.  So, other than thinking it would be cool to learn an awesome life skill/new language, I think it would really benefit me on a personal level to learn ASL.  Plus, it could help me make so many wonderful new friends!  I hope that it's alright that I join you all here.

Much love. ♥

Hello, my name is Tracy and I am currently in ASL class in college. I am a beginner and trying to learn at the same pace as college kids. I have learned but not perfected the alphabet, introductions signs, and some one word vocabulary items. One of my assignments is to interact in one of these chat rooms to learn some sign language outside of the classroom. Since I am such a beginner, I feel it will be difficult to carry any conversation.

    • Greetings, at age 65, I lost my hearing in my right. I use a hearing aid also. My doctor recommended that I take an ASL course. I enrolled in a basic ASL course at my local Community College and discovered that I had a nack for signing. I live in the state of Maryland. My goal is to meet friends that can help me to improve my ASL skills. Thanks 😊
    • that's about accurate, because it's not in my head yet XD forgot to put the learning sign in my head haha XD
    • My name is Hermes. = ) I'm 36 years old and from Sweden. I am autistic but fully hearing and seeing, I want to learn ASL because I am interested in it, it also helps me in my understanding of people since my sight is my number one sense. I work as a GP, a doctor, and I also study Theosophy and I would love to be able to sign a theosophy lecture for you for tose interested in spirituality. = )
