New ASL Student

hey I am new to this site, but I was wondering if there were any places near me(Hawthorne, NJ) where I can publically meet up with people to interact and learn more about Deaf Culture. I am taking a 101 course so my singing is limited, but my interest in the language will only increase with face to face conversation. This stranger would really appreciate it..lol

Welcome. Hope you find deafies in Jersey. Don't worry about your singing. Most deafies sing off key and out of tune. Goes with the territory.

Ha ha ha, I figured so, but had to give you a bad time. But really, every once in a while I get strange looks when I thought I was just mouthing the words to songs in church or when I sing along to old closed captioned songs in movies.

Good luck again with immersing yourself in deaf cuture and traveling the never-ending road to signing. Both are fun.

JT's request is similar enough to my own that I didn't want to start another thread. I live in southeastern CT (New London), am studying ASL through the program at Northwest CT Community College, towards an Associate as an ASL interpreter. I am also a hearing lesbian (not that the two are related.)

I know I might not have much luck, but I am trying to find Deaf events, etc in southeastern CT or Rhode Island, but I notice the threads here in this subforum related to CT do not get many replies. Are there any Deaf member of this forum in eastern CT or Rhode Island who I could make contact with?

I know btw how that must sound, so do forgive me please!
