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.

hello Tracy. I'm glad you decided to start learning asl. I have been learning for a little while. I'll be in the chat rooms on this site for the next hour, if you or anyone else is interested in a video chat go ahead and join in. :)

    • Hello,  my name is LaDonn and I have been learning ASL over the past few years.  I have taken some local classes which were extremely helpful and I love making new friends.  I also study on my own using ASL dictionaries, watching videos and recently teaming up with a fellow ASL classmate to practice when we can.  So, I was thrilled to find this site where I can actually video chat with other signers and practice with voice off.  The best way to learn is by doing.   I would love to meet both beginners like me and experienced signers, too.     
    • Hi!  My name is Kendal, and I am a college student currently enrolled in ASL II. Unfortunately, online spaces are the only way I can immerse myself in the Deaf community, which is the main reason I decided to make my account. Now, onto the interview help... For my midterm project, I am required to conduct a brief interview with a deaf person. If there is anyone who fits my single criteria and is willing to participate, please let me know!
    • Hi, my name is Triceta. I am 30 years old. I am Deaf, I lost my hearing in 2023, but I have been signing for 13 years, I took ASL in highschool and just continued signing. I immersed myself in the deaf community, wanting to learn more and to practice the skills I had. Fast forward to 2020, I started having double ear infections and kept complaining of the pain, but nothing was ever done. By the time I saw a doctor who would listen to me and consulted with an ENT specialist, my hearing had already diminished in both ears. 
    • Thank so much!
