Thank you very much. I have been using the flash cards for finger spelling, but had not see the one for numbers, so that is a great addition! Thanks, -David

Hi Rick, welcome to All Deaf. I applaud you for wanting to learn ASL to better communicate with your boyfriend. I too am gay and hearing like yourself and started dating a wonderful Deaf man back in January. I started taking ASL classes in March and have since tried to get more involved with...

Thank you gypsy. I have dug into using lifeprint and I am really liking it. Heck, I wish they had some lessons like this in class when I had it. This is much better in my opinion.

Thank you very much everyone. I'm actually digging through lifeprint and find it very very helpful. I'll check out all the material though as I find no one resource is the be all-end all site, so a combination of them seems to work.

Yes I have used this site. Thank you very much for pointing it out.

My instructor is Deaf, at least from the class I took this last Winter/Spring. I start a new class in two weeks but am not sure yet who is teaching it. I am going to a Deaf club this Friday with hopes that I will be able to progress quicker like you said. The book we have been using is...

Hello, I am currently learning ASL and I'm quite new at this relatively speaking. I have been struggling a bit as my class is only one day per week for 2 hours, which I don't think is nearly enough. Anyway, I have been looking for study aids. I came across the following, can anyone tell...

Adding myself in here. I am currently a ASL student and have taken one class. I am starting my 2nd in a week. I am currently working to improve my finger spelling speed. My boyfriend is Deaf but currently lives out of state until later this year. I am hoping to improve before he moves here...

@ Frisky Feline "Why don't you change hearing peoples attitudes when they treat Deaf deaf hoh people in general? They are the one who makes Deaf deaf hoh people that way due to the attitude issue. Lastly, just socialize with asl users than being online. if you could not find any where deaf...

Very sorry you feel this way Bottesini. From this “hearing” person who is trying very hard to learn ASL and learn your culture I’m sorry to see you say this. I find that my spelling is always perfect as I take the time to properly spell check it and read it before posting. I felt I was...

dertyhoez, thank you for the response. I'll send you a message about this. I'd love to start a gay deaf group here in the burgh for those that need it as well as those who are interested.

I think it's a combination of the two people and also what they are willing/want to do. I started dating a guy 6 months ago who was born Deaf. We have a wonderful relationship. I started learning ASL within a month of meeting him and am taking classes as much as I can. I am reaching out...

I would definitely try it. A few years ago I was at VooDoo Doughnut in Portland Oregon and saw they had a Maple Bacon Doughnut. I was thinking immediately that looks gross! Anyway, my Uncle and I got two to try and WOW, it was amazing. We tried one with the bacon cold the way it came and the...

Thank you very much Amy for the information! I'll shoot you a separate email.

Thank you Sares. Yes, it is a no-brainer for me to learn ASL. Granted it is not easy, but learning any language is not easy, no matter what the language is. I mean, why would I not want to? I want to be able to talk to my partner and communicate with him as easily as I do anyone else and I...

And thank you for the warm welcome everyone!

Gay & Deaf in Pittsburgh Hi there, I am actually "Hearing", but I started dating a great guy who is Deaf about 6 months ago. He will be moving here in the next few months and currently lives down South. I have been looking for a Gay Deaf group here in the burgh and have yet to find...

Hi there, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to ASL. I've been taking classes for about 3 months now. I started after I met and started dating a Deaf person. I am very much enjoying ASL and would like to meet other people in Pittsburgh who sign so I can improve upon my skills. I...
