Hi guys!  I'm Alyson from Kansas.  Looking for people to practice with, though unfortunately I don't have webcam yet (it's on my list for next month).  I'm brand new at ASL, I started learning in June after I found out that holy smokin' lizards, I cannot understand a single word people are saying anymore.  I'm not deaf, but I have horrible, horrible APD (Auditory Processing Disorder) and relied almost completely on lip reading.  I didn't realize just how MUCH I relied on lip reading until the mask mandate came into place and everyone started mumbling muffled monkey gibberish at me instead of words.   So I'm crash coursing like mad from every online source I can   and would love to hear from others with APD, if you have tips or tricks or frustrations.

Hi! My name is Jennifer. I've taken a couple asl classes but with covid happening I'm not ready to go to college for it. I'm considered Hard of hearing and I totally understand what you mean about having a hard time hearing and understanding these people with these masks on. Do you wanna maybe learn together?

      By Kiwi · Posted

      I made an ASL discord server. It has a teen only area and an adult area as well as sections for beginners, intermediate, advanced, and fluent as well as a mixed level and age area. I hope to see y’all there so that we learn, practice, and grow together.   https://discord.gg/CmQrzAhf

      fingerspelling game

      I just got 45! I'm getting really good I feel! I always like to find a good speed, then just read off the letters as they come up, and spell the word, then once i'm good at recognizing what letter it is, I try to pronounce the word as it comes through, I find that helps the most when it comes to learning with this game! hopefully I can get to 50 in 2 mins by the end of the week.

      Hi Raf! Nice to meet you. This is definitely the right place to learn sign, but I also heavily recommend Learn How To Sign on YouTube for the first basic beginner signs and sentences. Meredith, the host, is an excellent educator and does a great job. Good luck!

      Nice! i really do recommend this site for receptive spelling practice, its really good to be able to read signs, and i use a word generator occasionally to practice my own fingerspelling, i generate a word and spell it out, for accuracy and a little speed. if you ever wanna practice feel free to shoot me a message!
