I have been speaking asl for the past 3 years, and I’m unsure as to a few sign name rules. I’ve been hard of hearing my whole life, and so has my father. I’m not deaf, but I’m also not hearing. So can I give sign names to my hearing friends? I respect lots of them and how they’ve learned asl to help me, but I don’t want to disrespect deaf culture at all. Please help, thank you!

  Hey! I uploaded a video in ASL in response to this. I think I used the incorrect sign for partner. But I need someone as well.

  My The sign I used for "partner" was two clasped hands going in circles. I'm not sure if that's the correct one or not.

  You can meet new people, be more sensitive reaction time & typing test to the environment around you, and develop skills you didn't know you could possess.To sharpen your cognitive skills by experiencing a different way of learning. To explore the multiple perspectives on deafness and communication.
