Hi everyone! (^o^)/

Hello (again)!

My name is Nana, I live in Canada and I have started to learn ASL about a year ago. 

I completed the level 102; I can sign casually on familiar topics, but I’m quite bad at signing numbers lol.

I like anime, mangas, romans, illustration, witchcraft (sorry, I mean I’m into Wicca lol) martial arts and travelling. 

I’m looking forward to met new signers :D

Hi Nana,

I just registered with this site and noticed your post almost immediately. I suck at numbers too! I can sign them (I think... ish...) but I panic when I see someone sign them ("F...oh no that was a 9... and now I've missed the rest of them").

So yeah, I need practice.

Not sure how that works on this site, do we use the chat rooms?

I just tried that Record Video button and got you eight seconds of black screen so that'll need work 🙂

Hehe, I’m bad with numbers since day 1; I always had a hard time with math and numbers, asl is no exception.

I didn’t try the chat rooms so far because apparently they don’t work on tablet. Since that i cannot go on the website from my workplace, I always have my iPad with me, but for this particular matter it’s not useful.

I have another “pen pal” (or should I say “signpal?) and we send videos to each other through DMs, but I don’t mind using Hangouts or Snapchat as well (but I prefer Hangouts since I watch each video a dozen of times to make sure I understand at least 75% of it ) :D

Would you be interested in trying a live conversation on Skype or Hangouts? The thing with video is that I can practice beforehand and also take my time understanding it. I know that's useful, but I can do that with YouTube videos (in fact, that's what I do).

But what if you're actually dependent on ASL for communication? I want to throw myself off the deep end and see how far I get. Preferably with another learner so that we won't be embarrassed asking for repetition several times.

What do you think?

    • Hey, I am studying Deaf Education currently in college. I am also looking for a practice partner, as i can see my skills decreasing due to lack of practice. If you are interested, please let me know! We could exchange contact information. However, I am from Oklahoma, so some of our signs may differ regionally!
    • A few years ago I found out my school system offered ASL so when I was old enough to take it I jumped at the opportunity. Since then I have fell head over heels for the language. I have been learning it for a few months now and am still pretty basic, but I think I may want to interpret when I am older.
    • Finding a good practice partner for ASL can make a huge difference in learning! Conversations in real time help build confidence and improve fluency much faster than studying alone. It’s just like academic writing—sometimes, even with all the right resources, you still need extra support. That’s why many students look for help with nursing essays to manage their workload and improve their writing skills. Having the right support, whether for language learning or coursework, can make the whole pr
