I know Portuguese Sign Language (LGP) and I want to learn ASL too! I am hearing, 26, I speak portuguese and english. I hope i can learn from you, the deaf community and teachers here! In Portugal we don't have a website like this, only social media and it's hard to start a conversation about sign language. All my family and friends are hearing too :( I love our finger spelling but i find yours is lovely too and sometimes, a few signs are the same :D for example: the letter L, O, Z are the same sign in both pt and english and the letter I too :D Sorry if i make any mistakes...i am currently only learning ASL through deaf people on youtube and instagram! I only know LGP level one, i am not fluent! I tried to say the english alphabet while signing in portuguese and it's hard! Sorry about my pjs, i am currently sick. Thank you!

      Greeting to the forum

      Hi everyone! I'm a hearing husband with a deaf wife, and I'm a retired electrician and safety instructor. I know some sign language, but I'm hoping this site will help me improve my skills and support others in our local fire department. Although there aren't many deaf people in my community, I have many deaf friends from different places. We always have a great time together, and they're wonderfully patient while teaching me new signs! I'm excited to be here, learn more, and connect with everyone. Looking forward to being part of the community! geometry dash

      Hello

      By Leah P. · Posted

      My name is Leah and I started learning ASL to help people communicate where there are language barriers. For instance: I just started volunteering at a nature center and I hope that one day I'll be able to help someone connect there. I'm also applying for a job at my local YMCA for the Member Services desk. It would be great to help the deaf and hard of hearing community connect there also. I'm very excited about learning ASL. I love helping people. 😊

      I am taking my first class of ASL at a local community college.   I am hearing.  The teacher is Deaf and fantastic.   The language is beautiful.   I am learning because I have 3 neuro-divergent kids and I think this would be a good way to connect with them.
