Hiya everyone! I've decided to learn ASL in order to expand the access I have to the worldwide Deaf/hard-of-hearing community. I'm a 21-year-old male living in the UK and have studied BSL for the last three years while also using it in the care sector supporting deaf/blind clients. I am very aware of how the two deaf cultures differ across the Atlantic and want to form first-hand connections with anyone fluent in/learning ASL to broaden my knowledge on any topic relating the signing community in America.

Feel free to write any time of the day!

I look forward to talking!

Hello Ryan, my name is Carleigh, and I am currently in my second ASL class at a community college. I would love to learn about some of BSL and how learning that has been for you. I am an 18-year-old female in my final semester in high school. I started taking sign this year and am hoping to either minor in it or major in it in college.

Hi Ryan, I also started to learn ASL to expland my knowlege and be able to communicate with more people. I'm a 21 year old female college student currently enrolled in a two year ASL training program, I have yet to be certified and am coming to the end of my semester soon, we should video chat, you could show me some of your BSL. 

-Best, Jela

      Hello! My name is Angel, AKA ASLBarbie. I am a nonspeaking girl and a high intermediate ASL speaker. ASL has recently become my primary language and I am considering becoming an ASL Twitch streamer, as well as relaunching my YouTube channel, once I cqn figure out how to do it without being able to speak. I am always down to practice or help anyone learn to sign.

      Beginer- Translating the alphabet to conversation

      remember, ASL is a very visual language, so we communicate more with our body language and facial expression than actually with our hands. when in doubt, try to "act out" a word or provide an opposite, or associated word. Your facial expressions will communicate a large portion of what you are trying to say. If your face says nothing while you try to sign the word "yucky", it will be difficult to understand, even if the sign is correct, but if your face says "yucky", your conversation partner is

      Spelling Two Consecutive Words

      the simplest way to do that is to do what is implied by written word, but not practiced in spoken word, leaving a slight pause, or rest note between words. one of the most difficult parts of learning a new language is a problem referred to as segmentation. when we speak fluently there really are no natural breaks between words, so if one doesn't know the words well enough to understand where one word ends and the next begins, it can be difficult to figure out. with ASL, this is somewhat similar,
