Yeah I have tried. I have flash cards, I've gone to classes, I've had apps. But there's a difference between learning something on your own and learning something with someone else. And I just can't really become a master on my own on this. I'm back in Montana, and I know no deaf people close...

Yeah, I am starting to forget my ASL. Which is sad because I loved it. I need a practice buddy too... Hint hint... :P

I like reading and spending time with good people. One of the things I use to do when living in the mountains is just going out on walks through the forest. Then I got a hammock and so I would just go find a secluded spot in the woods and just lay in my hammock for hours. And this spot here...

Another time, one of my friends had just gotten a cochlear implant. And a couple months later she was finally starting to enjoy music and she was asking me about all these bands that I had no clue about. It was sad... But my deaf friend knew more about music in that moment than I did in that...

Lol I was thinking that. But trying to decide which on first. Most of the time I've spent with deaf people have been good. There was one guy I met at church. I was able to get his name, but since I was still only just learning ASL I just sort of stuttered through asking for his name. He finger...

So here in this room there are always stories about that stupid jerk hearing person who was completely rude/ignorant. Ok, maybe not always. But I guess that just sort of makes me feel that no matter what there will always be a reason to dislike hearing people. So does anyone have any good deaf...

Never been to either of those. So are you going to college in D.C.?

Thank you, and where are you guys from?

Well, this should excite all you whovians :D

Yes they are.

I would love to learn more! However I do not have anyone to practice with... I've learned at least a thousand signs, but without practice they've all faded away. I'm sure if I tried I could recover them fairly easily. But my biggest problem is when I come face to face with a deaf person... I...

So I've been on and off and introduced myself before, but since I still haven't been successful in making any friends here I figured I'd try again. I am from Montana, US. I love travel and meeting new people and learning all about other cultures. Right now I'm hoping my next stop will be a...

Hi skidders, does your name happen to come from a sci fi show?

Sorry... Just realized there was a better room to post that in...

So I've just been wanting to meet new people. So I decided why not expand my deaf culture and signing while I'm at it? I've taught myself some sign and I know quite a bit of the deaf etiquette so I'm not totally ignorant. I see deaf people as complete equals and never stereotype (or at least...
