I have not long completed lesson three but there was a bit that said we had covered it but I couldn't find it anywhere. How do you sign "are you deaf or hearing?" Help would be much appreciated as I feel this is a pretty important phrase!! 😂 Thanks in advance!

Hi, My name is Linzie, although everyone knows as Luna and so now I kind of go by it. I guess she is my cooler more outgoing alter ego. When I was 17 I met a 4 year old girl who had down syndrome. She signed at me with the biggest smile and I had no way to communicate back except smile too, and my heart mushed a little inside. ok a lot!!! I vowed I would learn sign language and like every 17 yr old I got busy and I forgot. However I have never forgotten her! I was furloughed during lockdown and decided to make positive use of my time and actually do the one thing I have always wanted to but not the time to do. Soooo here I am, learning at last and completely loving it. I am the person who will watch two people signing in public, and maybe seen as rude for staring, however, I find it a beautiful language and am so glad I have taken this step. My signing is slow and I am hoping to speed up. I don't know many Deaf people. I have friends who are in the deaf community due to their children, but again not many. I hoped by joining here I could meet people and, well I don't know chat, learn and make friends. I often don't come out on page as loving as my words are meant so I am hoping this is as endearing reading as is being intended. I look forward to any replies. Love Luna x
