I started losing hearing last year, but only started learning ASL around the beginning of April, 2018. I have seen too many people lose their hearing, and not know any Sign Language. I do not want to be stuck someday with serious hearing loss, and no communication skills.

So, I'm getting a head start with learning ASL ..... I need to connect with people to practice ASL ..... Nobody in my family is interested in learning ASL. I have no personal friends who are deaf.

Hey Gadget,  

I am Angelo.  I would love to have someone else to SIGN with.  I'm definitely a newbie and not good at all yet, but I am trying.  Let me know if you want to have a test session with me.   

 

Thanx!  Angelo

      I'm a senior at Suffolk University majoring in history.  I've just accepted a position at Boston College's history MA program.  I hope to specialize in Cold War history, and to be a history professor some day.  I came out as transgender my senior year of high school, and began living as a woman after graduating in 2011.   Two years ago I saw the film Shape of a Voice.  As a trans woman, I identified with the main character's feeling of loneliness.  I started learning ASL to help create a society that includes everyone, not just hearing people.  Perhaps I'll get a professorship at a deaf university some day.   I've often gone to lengths to educate others about the transgender community, and am willing to answer any questions you may have.  Feel free to message me.

      Hi everyone, My name is Micky. I'm a beginning ASL student, and am going into ASL 3 for the Spring '19 quarter. I got into ASL because I had a Deaf friend back in grade school, and I felt bad that we couldn't communicate without an interpreter. I'm also hard of hearing myself, so I'd really like to learn more. I'd love to find people who want to chat and practice with me.
