    Stop saying you sign badly : a post to encourage beginners in ASL

    Very good read. I am hearing and I am in ASL 3. I still do not sign very good, but I am trying very hard. I do get involved in my Deaf community. I go to Deaf social and try to make friends there. It helps that my Deaf ASL teacher is in charge of the Deaf socials in my town. I forget signs all...

    Students Looking for ASL buddies

    I posted here long ago, but I did not have any luck with finding an ASL practice partner for Skype. I hope to find a Deaf friend to practice with. I am an ASL 2 student, but sometimes I have some trouble with some words my Deaf teacher uses since I haven't learned those words yet. I'd love to...

    Hearing/Deaf conversation etiquette?

    When I went to dinner with my deaf cousin, I would talk low, but also try to sign at the same time. She can lip read when I do not know the sign, but I try to sign as much as possible since I am trying to learn to sign.

    Students Looking for ASL buddies

    I am hearing, but I am going into the sign language interpreting program. My cousin is deaf and she was the one that inspired me to want to learn signing. I have learned some from her, but I would love to have people to practice with, especially when I get into the signing classes. I would love...

    So lonely..

    It isn't just deaf or hoh that have trouble with finding friends in college. I am a hearing college student and my classmates and I weren't very sociable with each other. I am in the process of switching majors and colleges though, so maybe the other college will be better for me. I am going...

    ? about tolerance

    I am just learning and I also use a combination of signing and fingers spelling with my cousin. She understands and knows that I am just learning, so she doesn't at all mind it. I really do love that she is so patient with me and she also wants to help me learn.

    Geocaching

    I am a Geocacher and I absolutely love it. I wish that I had someone to go with in my area though. It isn't as much fun to do by myself. :(

    How do you cope with LOUD tinnitus at night?

    I have tinnitus and at night I turn my radio on a soft, classical music station. It really helps when I am going to sleep since I listen to the music and focus more on it, instead of the swishy, swishy sounds.

    Opinion about deaf humor?

    I am hearing, but I am a big fan of 'That Deaf Guy' comics. He gives insight into his own life as a deaf man with his hearing wife and hearing CODA, but he also adds great humor into it.

    Looking for Friends

    Hi everyone. I'm 30 and I am hearing. A few months ago, I met my 2nd cousin for the first time. She is deaf and from Texas. She is staying over her for a while while her father's estate is settled since he recently passed. I had the privilege of having lunch with her and my biological family. I...
