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

    • That’s a great reason to start learning ASL. Having a practice partner would definitely help, especially with getting more comfortable with reading signs and keeping up with a real conversation. It’s also nice that you want to learn because you’ve had situations where communication was difficult. Just keep practicing and don’t worry about being perfect at the beginning—everyone starts somewhere. spin mama 
    • You might see a familiar pattern and immediately think you know the answer. Your brain naturally wants to complete the word as quickly as possible. However, tha t first idea isn’t always  dordle correct.
    • Security staff should be prepared to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing visitors in a clear and respectful way. Simple gestures, written instructions, visual signs, and mobile phones can all help when spoken communication is not effective. Improve Event Safety At busy venues, communication becomes even more important. Teams providing Crowd Management Services should make sure safety instructions, evacuation routes, entry rules, and emergency information are accessible to everyone. Staff should know how to gain attention politely and avoid creating confusion during stressful situations. Train Security Teams Basic deaf awareness training can make a real difference. Security officers should remain patient, maintain eye contact, and use clear visual cues when needed. Build a More Inclusive Environment Good communication improves both safety and visitor experience. By planning for different communication needs, security teams can create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.
