Hearie looking to make some friends

brachaalizah · 05-18-2008, 09:21 PM

I am 17 years old and fully hearing. However, i am currently trying to learn ASL in hopes of becoming an interpreter or teacher or something. (I'm not quite sure what job opportunities are out there.) I would love to make some friends that are Deaf, HoH, or know ASL so that I could learn more sign language, as well as to learn more about the Deaf culture and community.

Also, it'd be kind of cool to know how this site works

to AllDeaf forum. Wow, you are way early to make a decision on what you want to be like an interpreter or teacher or something.

Well, my elementary school was the one that all the deaf/HoH kids went to, and I loved learning sign language, although I didn't get a chance to learn much. I used to sit with a deaf girl at recess with a signing dictionary trying to make sense of what she was signing D:. I realized that I would have a blast learning ASL and (hopefully) making a career out of it.

No way, in today's economy who is going to be able to afford to pay for an interpreter?
also what about finding a Deaf boyfreind?
interpreting sounds nice, but its more truer if you want a personal relationship, as I do know what is the difference between PROFESSIONAL and PERSONAL relationships
like professional relationship is about money-taking and personal is about freindship
what'd you be?

The companies or the courts or the medical organizations, the mainstream schools, colleges with Deaf programs, and etc. They will pay for an interpreter pretty well and it is the law of ADA to hire an interpreter for the Deaf who needs to know what is going on. As for the Deaf boyfriend, this is her life, so butt out. She is just interest in us for making friends so that she can learn from us. How is that, Grummer? No hard feeling.
