Hello @Douglas  - Thanks for posting!  We are still setting up the video recording aspect of this website and there maybe some performance issues for a little while - we hope to get these resolved soon.  Thanks for your patience!

[Andria.Vinson93]

I'm learning because it is something to me i feel i should learn. There are so many wonderful people out there who live in a whole different kind of world that is still the same world as those like me who can speak. I honestly want to learn from their point of view. Learning a language like Spanish or French is just not something that is pulling for me to learn. ASL is just one that is

I'm learning sign language because I'm becoming deaf and I have a friend that is deaf and I have a friend that takes sign language my friend and I only talk in sign language.

I am learning sign language because I wish to connect with the Deaf community and I am majoring in ASL interpreting and I want to become a good interpreter that respects cultural nuance.  I'm just starting out, I just finished ASL 1 and I am in search of deaf friends that would be willing to practice with me.

I am learning sign language because I am losing my hearing and I can read peoples lips and I want to learn more sign language as possible.

I'm learning ASL because I feel that the language is so underrated. I like being able to communicate in a different way without using the voice but the art of sign. I am only a beginner and hope to one day increase my skills in time. Nice to meet you all

[Bekahof2021]

My name is Bekah and I am learning ASL because I have dyslexia which makes written languages like Spanish and French hard for me to learn like other students my age. I am currently taking ASL 2 at my high school and wish to become a better signer so when I enter the work field, I will be able to help deaf patients receive the care they need. (I want to become a nurse who works in the NICU/deliver babies.)

Thanks for reading about me!!!
