inmate23 · 09-22-2009, 07:47 PM

Hi

I have just moved out of home. Oral only strictly oral only.

Im just instrested in what choices other people have made.

Optains for me are cued speech, oral, asl fingerspelling

You don't have to finger spell everything.

In ASL, there is the passive hand and the dominant hand. With a one-armed person (in case of broken arm, handling grocery and so on), the passive hand is omitted.

One time my interpreter showed up with a broken arm (and every class a few weeks after that), and i was able to understand her.

Yeah, I sign one handed often. I walk with a forearm crutch 50% of the time and I need it on my dominant side, so I often sign with my non-dominant hand only.Very doable

I will promise to fear you more if you change the spelling to "feminist".

You guys should consider that NZSL has a two handed alphabet system like BSL, and more of their signs are much different from ASL.

Regardless, I promise you that there are people with limited motion that successfully communicate in all sign languages. There is always a way.

My excuse: I am a linguist, I can make up my own spellings and then claim they are broad phonetic transcriptions!

In reality I was sleepy.

ok your missing the point of post

what lanage did you use after you left home

souggy · 09-22-2009, 09:24 PM

Grew up with ASL and English.

Left home with ASL and English. I prefer ASL whenever I get the chance to flaunt it.

I was just teasing since I knew it is your major area of study.

I use English and PSE, in addition my greatest strength is that I write frightfully well.

My world would be perfect if everyone just carried an ubiduo.

I had to use oral only communication with my family and at schools. When I left home on my own, I learned to sign SEE and ASL, if both. I feel a lot better signing than speaking and try to lipread which I failed. I love ASL.

My language break down is as follows

French is my native spoken language, ASL is my native sign language (learned them at the same time. Now I consider ASL to be my 1st language as it is where I am more comfortable receptively and expressively.

French is my second language, English is my third language, and German is my fourth.

I used them all growing up, now I use ASL and English for the most part.

Just curious, and ignorant of Canada, but if French is your first spoken language, why is not LSQ your first sign language?

I grew up in Ontario, not Quebec, in an English area in an ASL/English based school, but French is what I spoke at home.

I want to learn LSQ though. Maybe I will spend a summer in Montreal or something. 4 months and pick it up. it's in my plans. I want to the same with Swiss-German Sign Language.

That's great.
We need tons and tons for deaf linguists.
Just yesterday, i went to a seminar of the most prestigious LSA linguist here, Maria Massone.
Yay. I love linguists.
