This is so true! :) I think that if somebody calls a d/Deaf person disabled only because he or she cannot hear, they could also call me disabled because I cannot sign (yet) (Well, I can sign something but in Signed Polish ;)) Or they could call me disabled because I wear glasses and can't see...

This is a very nice quote :)

Thanks for your answers :) You've helped me a lot, and you made me think too :)

Thanks for that answer :) Nobody else is willing to write something, so I suppose I must have asked a stupid question. Sorry (I headslapped myself for that), it will never happen again.

Hi all! I know that maybe I shouldn’t be asking that, but would you mind doing me a little favour? I know that it sometimes annoys you that students come here and ask a lot of questions, and I understand that reaction. Unfortunately, I am a student, I’m writing a paper on Deaf culture...

I study English and this year during one of our translation classes we translated the story from English into Polish. I liked it! And it was fun to translate it because nobody translated it into Polish and got it published yet. Our teacher said that maybe we were the first to do that :)

Thanks a lot :) I'll try them :) That's what I'm planning :)

Hi :) Does anyone know a good online ASL picture dictionary? I'm writing a paper about Deaf culture, and I want to mention ASL poetry. Right now I'm trying to explain that there is rhyme in ASL poems just as in spoken or written poems. There is an example that I would like to use in...

I like her too, although she's not my favourite Polish musician. My favourite song by her is 'Joszko Broda'

Hi, Jazzy! If I could do anything that would help you to get in touch with your family in Poland (like translating from Polish or into Polish), I'd be very happy to do so :) And one more thing... May I have one question about Deaf culture? I've read on AD that there are some customs that you...

Hi everyone! I'm happy that you liked what I wrote, and that you liked the pictures. :) Nice to know that some of you are of Polish decent :) Should you ever be interested in anything connected with Poland, let me know :)

Hi! I’d like to find out some general information about the Deaf culture and I thought that you could help me in that matter. However, I realized that maybe it’s a bit unfair that I want to know things about your culture, but I don’t say anything about mine. That’s why I’d like to tell you...

Thanks for help :) I'll try to get them. If anyone could recommend any other sources (especially those available on-line), I'll be very grateful. :)

Unfortunately, I don't understand ASL :( Do you think there is any way I could understand how it works (I mean rhyming) without knowing ASL?

Hello :) I know that you might get angry that there's another student asking questions, but I was reading the thread about D/deaf and there's something I'm curious about. A few people wrote that Deaf people share their norms, social behaviours, folklore, etc. I was wondering if you could give...

Hi :) I'm hearing but I'm interested in Deaf culture and I 'd like to find out as much as possible about it. (I'm trying to write my thesis about it but it doesn't go too well :( ) I've read somewhere that 'deaf poetry uses hand gestures to symbolize rhymed words'. Could anyone tell me...

Thank you all for a very warm welcome! I hope that thanks to this forum and thanks to having contact with you I'll menage to learn more about the Deaf community and I'll understand better the situation of the Deaf. Brenda, I hope you'll succeed in getting in touch with the Deaf community and...

Hello everyone! My name is Ania and I study English at the Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. I'm not a native speaker of English so sorry for the mistakes that I make. I'm hearing, but I'm interested in deaf communication (I know some simple signs of Polish Sign Language.)...
