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.

    • I've realised I've made it difficult to access the video from my previous post via WeTransfer.  Below is a Google drive link which should hopefully work better and hopefully save people from having to download the file! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ued0nYGJdbIYuUZTEmRqO7IMlUSk3n3o/view?usp=drive_link Thanks  
    • I hope the video link I've attached below isn't seen as me trying to demonstrate any degree of skill or me assuming that my signing is anywhere near correct. I hope that is serves more as a means of presenting to this community the drive I have to learn with you all. I've found that I haven't met anyone after my previous post, which I suppose is no surprise... The best way to practice ASL or any other sign online is generally going to be face to face. The necessity to communicate in this
    • Hey everyone, I've developed "SignTranslate", a completely free AI app dedicated to learning sign language. My goal was to create a space where everyone could learn and practice at their own pace, with a variety of resources suitable for all levels. The app is still in its development phase, and I'd love to get your feedback to make it even better. If you have a moment, could you test it out and let me know your thoughts? I'm particularly interested in your opinions on the current feat
