Like anyone else - the deaf do need a break from life and a chance to socialize with each other in a relaxed setting.
Like this guy said, there are a few deaf people who are willing to teach the ASL students at Deaf events but this is a message to the ASL students to explain why they are usually left out at Deaf events or socials. Heck, I was even left out as well when I was first learning ASL but if those students are really serious about learning ASL, they will eventually pick it up.
