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?

      Introduction

      By navenotme · Posted

      Hello everyone! I’m new to the ASL world, and I’m so excited to finally begin this journey. Learning ASL has always been a passion of mine, and this year I’ve decided to follow my dream. I’m enrolled in a class that starts on September 28th, and I’m eager to learn and grow.   I’m open to any tips, resources, or advice you’d like to share that could help me succeed. Looking forward to connecting with you all and becoming part of this amazing community!

      My name is Karen and I am hearing.  I've been around deaf and hard of hearing people all of my life.  My parents were both interpreters and they instilled in us the language and love for DHH people.  I'm currently an instructional specialist in a public school district.  I am the lead specialist for the DHH programs in our buildings.  I've recently recognize that my vocabulary is "old".  Apparently many of the signs that I have used all of my life have changed somewhat.  So I am planning on spen
