New to ASL


Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Reggie, and I've recently decided to learn sign language. After some unfortunate events in recent years, talking has become quite the burden on my psyche, and I do almost anything I can to avoid it. My therapist suggests that I have simply become selectively mute, which, when taken into consideration of everything that has happened and my past mental history, it rather makes sense. So, here I am, ready to learn a whole new way of speaking. 

If anyone has any tips or would like to help me, that would be greatly appreciated. I am, in fact, particularly interested in video chatting and any form of conversing through sign language, since I live in a very isolated rural area and there is no one here for me to practice ASL with. 

Once again, if anyone would like to or possibly could help me, that would be wonderful and I thank you.

That would be lovely, thank you. I would also love to chat with you some time in the near future as well. You may message me whenever you like, though please do not be upset if I don't answer now or right away, since I am experiencing fluctuations in the hours at my job. 

Please though, do message me whenever the feeling occurs, it is not unwarranted in the least and is quite welcome. I only hope the same goes for me.

    • I've started an ASL course, and while looking for practice resources, I came across this forum.  Since I'm just starting to learn ASL, I'm unfortunately still incapable of signing full sentences and such, but I hope this will change, soon. I'm looking forward to being able to learn from your forum entries, and hopefully contribute my own. Greetings 😊
    • I am unsure of how to indicate "past 9 pm"; I am trying to say  "past 9 pm, I dislike (going to) sleep" (I like going to sleep early, but need to indicate that I do not like so I need to say, I do not like going to sleep past 9 pm)   Thank you so much. I appreciate all constructive feedback. :)
