Hello everyone. I have a quick question. If any of you are like me, you probably spend a lot of your day thinking, "how would that be signed in ASL?" things such as "take a bath", "I can't stand that" etc. Are strictly English statements and signed in a literal word for word translation would be silly at best and confusing for sure. So what I have been doing is taking different song lyrics and changing them so that they would make sense in ASL. I then practice them that way in order to try to get my brain used to switching over from English to ASL. while there are many English terms and short statements adapted to ASL, I find it difficult still to think quickly enough to change the signs so that they make sense. Does anyone have any good practice ideas for getting your mind to do a switch over from English (hearing an English only statement) to signing it (changing that same statement to make sense in ASL) I definitely feel as if this is the most difficult part of being accurate and of course...we all want to be. 

Thank you so much!!!

      An AD Code registration certificate is mandatory for any exporter. This AD certificate links the exporter's transaction with any specific bank account. It makes it easy for exporters to do international payments and the customs process.

      Deaf chats, where?

      By Tiffany Haver · Posted

      I've noticed that there are 2 chats scheduled for every Friday, but I'm never able to get access, says invalid meeting ID; anyone have the same experience? I am an individual who is Hard of Hearing, wear a BAHA hearing aid, and am taking courses to become an ASL/ENG interpreter. I am very interested in joining any chats that are re-occurring, please inform me

      Hey Nadeema Thank you for sharing your story I’m also Hard of Hearing and I really felt your words It’s not easy facing the unknown with your hearing but the strength you’re showing is real Learning ASL changed a lot for me It helped me feel seen and connected in ways I didn’t expect You’re not alone here We’re all learning together and you’ve already taken a big step just by showing up with an open heart If you ever need someone to learn with or talk to I’m around
