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.

      Introduction

      By Cassandra8 · Posted

      Hi everyone, My name is Cassandra Nesbitt, and I just started learning ASL. It was one of my goals for this year, and my career goal is to work in Social Work or Youth Development. I know I will be meeting diverse people. Plus, I have fallen in love with learning languages, and learning ASL is so fun and easy once you have the right mindset. In addition, I joined this community in hope to make new friends and get more practice with signing. I look forward to interacting with all of you.
