I'm hh/d and use ASL(&PSE) as well as spoken&written English, and remember a little French from my school days.

(I was born with SSD & chronic ear infections on my H side - I later started losing my hearing on the "hearing side" - as a result I was able to mostly understand speech most of the time during my language acquisition years, making it easier for me to learn most of the sounds of English, although I still have issues with the language, thank heaven's for computer spell check !!)

I'm currently debating learning CS - not to replace anything, but to facilitate learning Latin and Hebrew which will likely be required for my M.Div.

The issue here is - I use ASL/English interpreters in class - however if words and sentences are being spoken in Hebrew, how do we communicate what they sound/or even spell like to me so I can repeat them back ?
