Where in Florida are you?

Moyare · 12-17-2010, 09:28 PM

Thanks to everyone who contacted me to practice ASL via skype, unfortunately I have since found out that either my connection or my computer is too slow for me to be able to video skype properly, so for now at least, I am hoping to find someone in the area that I can practice ASL with, so if there's anyone in the Champaign IL area that would like to meet up and sign, I'd be happy to hear from you!

thank you add skype! I can figure out shedule

cayisgreat · 12-29-2010, 08:29 PM

You better believe i'm interested in this! I've been looking all over (i'm in michigan) for a class, but so far I can't find ANY. And the 2 tutors I did find are too far away. So for now, I was hoping I could "start" here. I have Skype, can get MSN, and I have a webcam. I'm a fast learner, but I'll need someone VERY patient because..well..sometimes my brain just short circuits ...lol. I'm 21, hearing, and a very beginner, just wanting to learn for fun. It's looks so fun and interesting! Plus you never know when it might come in handy someday.

I'm practically online 24/7 and when I'm not I'll have my status showing where I'm at and when I'll be back. I'm easy to work with and learn fast... Weird.. I feel... guilty? I have nothing to offer in return.

My skype is over there <-- itscayhooray

cayisgreat · 12-29-2010, 08:35 PM

whoops, can someone delete this?

FFHavoK · 01-03-2011, 06:36 PM

Hey there,
I recently started learning ASL (like many in this thread), and wouldn't mind practicing with someone, or learning from someone. I would like to learn ASL that is geared towards Emergency Medicine and encounters in the field (from walking out of the ambulance to transferring the patient's care at the hospital) if anyone could help a bit.

You can add me on skype - reign.of.havok
Thanks! looking forward to talking to anyone.

Anthropomorphic · 01-04-2011, 05:22 AM

I would be more than happy help ya'll practice ASL. I'm late deafened but have known ASL nearly my whole life. I would also love to get some practice myself. I haven't really had anyone to sign with lately, so even though I sign to myself a lot, I don't get the receptive side of signing too often.

My Skype username is: anthropomorphic91

Mommakat · 01-07-2011, 06:46 PM

This is a wonderful thread! I was on AllDeaf a while back, and I am back on with a different screen name.

I am a 1st year student in ASL. I was in the program last year, and we moved to a different state, and then came back. We are here to stay for a while. I am always looking to make new friends, and to learn more ASL! I have skype kathleen.wilkinson316 if anyone would like to get a hold of me to chat, or practice ASL.

ilsignitsawesum · 01-08-2011, 09:13 PM

Hey there
WestwoodASL.com has a medical/safety ASL course. Not sure what it contains, you could maybe email the guy who teaches it (contact link is on the site) and ask him if the course will fit your needs. His other courses are $5 for a 1month lesson/module, which is pretty reasonable compared to other online courses. Also, if you do a search, there are quite a few medical ASL dictionaries and phrasebooks. I know because I am in the medical field and have looked into these things as well.

Good luck!

horsegal · 01-08-2011, 09:36 PM

Definitely interested in signing with skype or oovoo. My skype name is: iwishiwereafish. feel free to add me! =) Thanks to the gal who started this thread!

Thank you for the site. I will definitely check it out. I am definitely looking for some ASL geared towards fire/rescue efforts. I am also looking to just learn the language. We have such a great Deaf community in Frederick, and I would love to be able to adequately communicate when I am there doing EMS standbys at MSD, or just in passing down town.

It is hard to find good resources geared towards emergency medicine, and our firehouse has discussed many times putting together a "class" or whatnot so that everyone is able to at least communicate a little. This is I guess a good place to start.

I personally have been learning ASL via lifeprint.com , which is a great resource. It is slow going, but I really like the language. I put it to use on a call the other day, which was very cool, and considering the high priority of the call, it was SO helpful as the person would not have been able to write to me or anything.

Tamale · 01-14-2011, 01:07 PM

I would love to practice to everyone. My skype name is sheenabonita. This will be fun.

Asleep · 01-16-2011, 03:56 AM

I'm learning ASL and i would like to practice with somebody who is fluent and bilingual.
Please let me know if you are interested.

PM for skype or gchat screen name.

Thank you.

You are very welcome.

I use Lifeprint too. Still, I need to find real live signers out there. It is really the most logical next step for me.

Skeezix · 01-16-2011, 06:44 PM

Thank you VERY, VERY much! I'll get on it tomorrow!

Yeah I would have to agree. I have been learning well with lifeprint, but I have found that I can formulate sentences that make sense and all, but I have a real hard time understanding others who are signing to me. I guess I just need to be exposed to it more, but it is frustrating to me.

**KristinaB** · 01-16-2011, 08:45 PM

I need to get back to lifeprint and work with it some more. I have been slacking off.

murderegina · 01-18-2011, 03:33 AM

I'd be very interested in doing this! Who wants to be my ASL buddy

Seb91109 · 01-20-2011, 04:04 PM

Brygida · 01-24-2011, 03:17 AM

Hi Guys,

Have I ever been here to say hi and search for anybody who would like to be my buddy? I don't remember, man! Maybe I should join the group of people who forget things

)) Anyway, I'm from Poland, I learn ASL myself, am a beginner, know about 500 signs and I want to take the exam at ASL in July this year. I have never been able to sign with anybody, so in this matter my knowledge is really limited. So anybody wants ot have a pal in Poland? Let me know please!
Love and peace

Mommakat · 01-24-2011, 08:54 PM
