So my name is Amelia I'm from Alabama and have always been interested in ASL. I plan to attend galludet in a few years to major as an interpreter. But I still have a couple more semesters hear back home at a community college. But at the same time I don't want to move to Washington DC to go to school for sign language and not know any sign language so I figured it'd be best to try to learn a little bit now. I don't know anyone around here that does know sign language so I figured I'd go to the Internet like everybody else does. If there's anybody on here that is willing to help me learn and practice with little bit I do know it be greatly appreciated.

      Hi all, I tried to learn a ASL years ago, but didn't get very far, as learning resources were harder to come by. I have always wanted to pursue it again. Recently, after seeing a few videos and movies that renewed my excitement, I enrolled in an online course. However, the most effective way to learn a language is to put it to use. So here I am. I hope to be able to practice with like-minded individuals.

      My Introduction

      By Heather Gibbs · Posted

      Hello! My name is Heather and I am interested in ASl because of my Deaf/hard of hearing family. My husband and two of our four children are D/HH. My husband has a moderate to severe hearing loss, our oldest son, 24-years-old has a mild to moderate hearing loss and our youngest son, 9-years-old has a moderate to severe hearing loss and speech issues. Their hearing loss is a congenital progressive sensorineural hearing loss. My husband and oldest son have lost more of their residual hearing fairly slowly over time but our youngest has lost his at a faster rate and he relies on sign to communicate because of his hearing loss and speech. He has an educational interpreter in school who is amazing! He has picked up on sign quickly but we have struggled to learn. With our youngest identifying with the amazing Deaf community, the fact that he is losing his residual hearing quickly and his hearing aids are not effective, and the need to communicate with him in sign daily I feel anxious to learn and become fluent. I have loved the Deaf community members that we have met and really want to be able to communicate with others. I look forward to learning and communicating on here!
