Hello everyone,

I am hearing and I am learning ASL in college as a foreign language. I am Digital Storytelling Major with minors in IT and Art. I'm very interested in developing technology to improve the deaf culture but have found a lot of resistance from the deaf community because I'm hearing. I am learning to navigate the world of deaf culture while using my talents in digital media to create content that could engage them. I am taking the final ASL 3 class in college and graduate in May. I work full time and love gaming. I'm 28 and work as a supervisor at a company that sells local internet. Looking forward to getting to know new people and practice my signing more!

  Hello all! I have been practicing ASL by myself for several years, and I can communicate in slow conversations. But having no one to practice with, I often lose momentum in learning. I would like to become an interpreter someday, or even teach. I was excited to find a community such as this one!

  Are you going to be learning ASL together or do they have a headstart already? There are a few ASL dictionaries, like Handspeak, also a lot of material on Youtube. Google "ASL signs", set it to videos and youtube, and just start watching all the videos. Take lots of notes to remember the signs. Open a new notepad file and put in it all the site addresses, you will want to find them later. look for specific videos on every subject, alphabet, numbers, verbs, time, animals, etc. Make sure you

  I have a grandparent who was diagnosed deaf last year. I really want to stay in communication with him so am looking to learn ASL sign language. I'm not sure where to start I searched some different apps and found one called Pocket Sign but I don't have an iPhone. I see they have a website https://www.pocketsign.org has anyone ever used it? do you guys have any android/website ASL learning resources to recommend?
