Hello, I'm Rj  I'm 30, a Gemini and happy to have your acquaintances.

A pleasure surely.

I was born hearing, and about the age of 3 I had been given a medication, that caused my eardrums to burst, resulting in full hearing loss in both ears, fully deaf. So my mother, and grandmother learned Sign to teach me, in which we all learned together as a family. I've since had surgeries, and now am currently hearing without the need of hearing aids. I have forgotten almost all of the Sign that I used to know after years of hearing, and I want to get back to my roots and re-learn Sign so I can reconnect with the community, and hopefully make new friends and give back; as I was once given. Thanks for reading, Have an amazing day!

      Hi everyone! I'm a hearing husband with a deaf wife, and I'm a retired electrician and safety instructor. I know some sign language, but I'm hoping this site will help me improve my skills and support others in our local fire department. Although there aren't many deaf people in my community, I have many deaf friends from different places. We always have a great time together, and they're wonderfully patient while teaching me new signs! I'm excited to be here, learn more, and connect with everyone. Looking forward to being part of the community! geometry dash

      Hello

      My name is Leah and I started learning ASL to help people communicate where there are language barriers. For instance: I just started volunteering at a nature center and I hope that one day I'll be able to help someone connect there. I'm also applying for a job at my local YMCA for the Member Services desk. It would be great to help the deaf and hard of hearing community connect there also. I'm very excited about learning ASL. I love helping people. 😊
