Hello Everyone,

My name is Crystal (Juuyaak is my Native name).  I am in the beginning of my first ASL class and loving it.  I live in Alaska with my husband, 5 young children and another on the way.  I would love to have people to practice ASL with!  We have a small Deaf community here in Alaska very spread out, so meeting with people here is very difficult.

 

Thanks,

 

Crystal

Hey' ~ I'm an absolute beginner. I have profound hearing loss and chronic intractable tinnitus. I've tried some Apps on the iPhone that cover the basics, but for some reason when I practice with someone in real time, I remember it better. I'm just discovering this sing language forum(s) but I'm open to practicing with anyone.

Hello Robert,

I am also an absolute beginner! I am hearing but have been interested in learning ASL for years. I am currently in a club that meets once a week, but believe I need more practice than that. 

I also remember better when I actually sign with someone. 

I would love to practice with you if you’re still looking.

thank you,

Nya

Yes, I'm interested Kira.

It's good that you can hear because I can hear with headphones also and we could share what we do know.

Probably could start making a checklist while learning about lessons in first interactions in ASL learning for beginners.

What hours are best for you? I'm on Easter Standard Time in Michigan. After 7pm is usually great for me.

Hello there! I am so happy to find this site and I am very grateful for the add! Currently, I am in ASL 1 after many years attending school. I want to immerse myself and hoping this is the spot to do it. One on one conversations is best for me.

Hi! This is my first year taking ASL 1 and it would be awesome to practice with someone. It would really help if anyone has time to video chat for a grade I need for my ASL class as well as getting to know and be more comfortable with ASL.

When I see "ASL 1" and "ASL 2" I've had no idea what these mean, except Level-1 and Level-2 of American Sign Language.

I see a wide variety of learning of "ASL 1" on YouTube and other sites.

What materials are most people on this Forum using to learn "ASL 1" ?

How many people are going to a local school or instructor and learning ASL 1 ?

      Why am I learning ASL

      By MaxJohnson · Posted

      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 Communication with Deaf Visitors

      By tanneredward315 · Posted

      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.
