Hello! I am a hearing person from Jamaica. I've been considering making a YouTube video about Deaf representation in fantasy shows/books. I'd like to interview Deaf people about their thoughts on how Deaf people have been represented, especially in these shows: 1. Switched at Birth 2. The...

Hello. I would like to delete an old post of mine. How do I do that? Thanks.

Hi, everyone! I've been wondering. Is the ILY sign (:ily:) used in countries where ASL didn't reach? It is used here in Jamaica, and the Deaf here use Jamaican Sign Language, a sign language similar to/descended from ASL. I don't have much exposure to sign languages other than JSL and ASL, so I...

Hello, everyone! I am hearing, and I have been wondering: Hearing people's ears hurt when a noise is very loud. Does that also happen to the (profoundly) deaf? I would guess that it depends... But can a deaf/Deaf person please let me know? Thanks! ~Ken

I found this image during a Google search: Does that sign really mean "I really love you" in ASL? That is what the picture's caption says. :ty:

Hi! Does anyone want to add me on Skype? I'm planning on taking the ASLPI and I'd like to get some practice signing with American Deaf or other ASL users. My Skype username is the same as my AllDeaf username, so please add me. I'd be grateful for any ASL practice, and even some friends! :)

Hi! :afro: I saw these signs on YouTube and decided to ask you guys what they mean. fq2PlBZSIoc I hope I even signed them right. I found them in these short videos: 2KL09c9cA68 9zX0i5O9v9g Thanks for any help! :ty:

Hello. My name is Ken. I'm a Jamaican and learning Jamaican Sign Language (JSL), which is similar in many ways to ASL. My goal is to be an interpreter one day. I studied both JSL and Japanese at university and I study Hebrew on my own with some online friends. I love learning languages...
