OK, I give up. I just don't get it. Everyone seems to be supportive and encourage ASL students but no one wants to sign with us except other students and even then it is a problem. Some of the students in my class already sign and some are beginners like me. I don't understand that but no problem. I got my book 2 months before the class started and began on my own. I am now into chapter 9 and the class is on chapter 2 so you can see I am really serious about this. I need someone to sign with besides my mirror if I am ever going to become fluent and now I am just frustrated. Those signers that are fluent do not want to be bothered and I don't want to be bothered with students that do not even read the assigned chapter until they get to class. If they do not care enough to prepare for class I don't understand why they are there to begin with. I even put an ad in Craig's List without any luck. Do I just keep trying to find someone to sign with me or am I just making a fool out of myself? Have I committed some unthinkable social error in asking for help from an ASL signer? How can I learn to use all these vocabulary words if no one will sign with me? I need someone I can meet with IRL because I do not have a viewer for my computer (I do not know what you call that device that lets you see the other person) and I can't afford to buy one now either. I guess I just need to know if it is OK to ask and should I keep trying to find someone. Please don't jump on me for asking. The world has already kicked the stuffin out of me this week and I need a break. Thanks for listening.
