I am learning sign, but want to immerse myself in the Deaf culture, which is limited where I am (rural Ohio). I found out about the Silent Weekend that is held in October in Hocking Hills. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be okay/I would be welcome with limited signing skills? I obviously would not use my voice but use other methods of getting my point across. I think it would also give me a goal/motivation for picking up ASL more quickly.
So...to the Deaf, would you be okay with a hearie with limited language skills attending a Silent Weekend, or is it more just for Deafies?
