Hey, I'm Hank. I'm hearing and I used to be pretty good at ASL, but I forgot a lot of it in the last 8 months because I didn't use it at all. Some other hearing kids and I started an ASL club where we meet up once every two weeks or so at a coffee shop or a bar or restaurant to practice and...

Thank you all for the advice. Unfortunately Worcestor and Providence are far away, but I will check out the links you all gave me.

I haven't posted in a while. I'm living in Boston now, and having just moved here, I don't have any friends who speak ASL. I am forgetting how to sign! :tears: I have no deaf friends here none of my hearing friends can sign. This sucks. Is there anybody is the Boston area who would want to...

or maybe "Hearing Bitch"

The book I read was called Journey Into The Deaf-World. I believe he learned it from the abbe d'Epee, but I could be wrong.

My friend Monica (deaf) gave me a sign name about 2 months ago. It is the elevator sign made with an "I" handshape instead of the "E" handshape. This is because my name is Ian and I am very tall (6'6"). My question is this: Should I tell deaf people my sign name when I introduce myself? When...

So on July 1 I am going to Baltimore for two months and then on September 1 I am going to Boston for 9 months. I wanted find out about where I could meet deaf or HoH people or even hearies who know ASL. I know that Gallaudet is not far from Bmore and Northeastern in Boston has a great ASL...

Also it's because ASL wasn't derived from English. It was actually derived from French Sign Language and that's where a lot of the grammar and syntax comes from.

It is difficult for hearing people to understand. Many hearing people can understand what deafness is, at least in an abstract sense. It's because it's an extreme. A deaf person cannot hear. HoH is different because hearies don't understand how you can hear some stuff but not all stuff. I'm...

I'm on Myspace too. http://www.myspace.com/hankpiece It's a musician profile, so those of you who are hearing can rock out to my awesome tunes. :afro:

D. Hearing.

Where do you live, tweety? Are you in NJ? If you're near me, I might be able to give you a ride.

Hey, Is there anybody from New Jersey who is interested in coming to the Northwest Jersey Association for the Deaf's thing on Saturday? There's swimming and raquetball and wallyball (which is volleyball played in a raquetball court). Details are available at http://www.nwjad.org/

Hi and welcome. I'm not from Maryland, but I'll be in Fells Point Baltimore for July and August.

That's not true. Best friend is a misnomer, a wrong name for something. Why do I need to choose which of my friends is the best? My relationship with each one is different. Certainly I'm close with my girlfriend, not to mention sexually intimate, but there is a whole different intimacy that...

Does anybody know of any events in NY or Northern NJ? I'd like to meet and interact with Deaf people in my area (although I'd settle for hearing ASL speakers).

God willing this will all turn out okay. Liebling, I hope and pray that it does.

Yes, I am born and raised in Edgewater NJ. I lived in Boston for three years and then 6months in Alexandria and 6 months in New York and now I'm back home again for a little while to relax and return to school. But my girlfriend moved to Baltimore today :tears: and so that's why I'm going there...

I'm trying to find some events or places I can go to meet and interact with Deaf people and ASL speakers. Currently most of my ASL is in my ASL class and also sometimes after class I talk to my Deaf friends at school, but I would like to meet more ASL speakers so that I can get better at my...

Northern VA? I spent about 6 months living in Alexandria last year. Also I'll be in Baltimore for July and August with my girlfriend.
