I think one of my goal is to learn all grammar rules of ASL and at least improve my English some more. So that someday, I can use both fluently.
It's never too late to learn right? 
I would like to be able to listen to ASL user without getting a headache, lol. |
Nope, it is never too late to learn! I agree that PSE can interfere with the elarning of proper grammar and syntax for both English and ASL because a kid doesn't get a good model of either language.
You know, I have been signing for over 20 years, and still, every now and then, a native signer will correct my grammar. That's because even though I am fluent, and have even been mistaken for deaf, it is my second language. ASL is a rich and complicated language, and it doesn't follow the rules that spoken languages follow. There are very good reasons for this, but that's another topic, lol!
You write very well...you are clear and concise, and I can see that you have a good foundation in English. Just keep learning, if that is your goal. Learning is not a goal or a destination. It is a life long journey!
