I live in Washington State and know next-to-no ASL. I am not deaf or HOH. I can fingerspell, say hi and bye, some numbers, and a couple other random signs. I hope to take ASL next Fall through Spring. I do own some books about ASL and I take a crocheting class once a week because the teacher is fluent in ASL. I have been picking up a couple of signs from her, which is nice. ASL is really lovely to watch and use and I have a big interest in making it a part of my life.

I joined this forum because I'd like to know more about deaf culture and how to interact with people who are deaf or HOH. Also, I've noticed a lot of negativity about hearies and how they treat the deaf/HOH population and I don't want to make the same mistakes...

Well, that's about it. Nice to meet all of you.
 
PS Any complaints about me have nothing to do with my hearing or my attitudes towards d/hh. :)
