According to my ASL teacher says it's ok to ask for someone to go slower and repeat. She does want us to practice so it isn't like 20 times, but a few is ok. I've also noticed in our class that everyone makes their letters just a smidge differently, so it can take a couple of times to see the...

My husband likes his books. I can't read them and understand the humor, but I can listen to them on audiobooks/ hubby's iPod and then I can get the humor. I'm still not to fond of his Discworld books though, which are my hubby's favorite.

Yes, I think this is what I was trying to get at. But at the same time, this could be written for any person who speaks/uses a foreign language. I had a student in my English 101 class that to hear him speak, you'd never know he hadn't spoken any English until kindergarten, but his writing was...

Thank you so much, I will take you up on that offer if I come up with something in having trouble finding the answer too. Right now I'm not sure what I want or need, as I just started this project yesterday. It's not due until the end of March, so I have some time :). After my cats get...

Hi there, I'm new here as well, although I'm hearing and a student of ASL. But I did find this thread earlier today all for/about late onset hearing loss. Even though your experience is a little different, it may still help. http://www.alldeaf.com/showthread.php?t=62953

But I got caught up in your forums. Found them doing a Google search for info on accommodations a deaf or hard of hearing nurse would need to do their job for my ASL 101 class. We have to do a project our professor has called "Deaf Can" and SHOW via photos, videos, etc (some students have done...
