Good question... Yes and no I'd say. On the one hand yes, cause I don't like to speak all the time. If I'm tired, or if I want to tell a longer story, speaking sucks, it really does. On the other hand, well if I really make an effort, people do understand what I'm trying to tell them.. most...

Interesting topic! I'm left handed. I think I nearly do everything with my left hand. Besides fingerspelling and signing. I really suck with my left hand, but don't ask why. My husband was the first one to notice. Maybe I should start practicing more with my left:hmm:

Sounds very familiar...:roll:

It's really sick! But it's not the only time people would do such things. I remember when they shot Bruno, there were many animal-rights activists, who showed pictures of the dead bear next to pictures of dead humans. A few years ago I was on a homepage of one of those activists and there...

Yes, I have a few experiences on that field, myself. My parents never really complained about us (my brother and me) signing, but it didn't make them happy. Family gatherings always used to be, well I don't know if there really is a word for it. They talked a lot, sometimes I had a...

Danke, den werd ich mit Sicherheit haben:D

Thanks to all of you :ty: I really like it here! @ Bebonang It's always good to not be alone. You can be glad that you are not french. Over there, they don't pronounce one word the way the write it. Quite confusing really.. English is easier in that way, at least. :wave:

I get it all the time. That's one of the reasons I don't really like to talk. My family (besides my brother and my fiancé) complains that I'm talking too low. It seems like screaming to me when it's just fine to them. Without my hearing aids I start to mumble. That's what they tell me at...

How do I feel when someone stares at me? Well, that really depends on how those people stare. Mostly I can differenciate a rude stare and a long curios look. If people really stare in a rude way and don't even bother to look away when I glance at them, I just ask them in a friendly way, if...

My fiancé and I took the same classes in foreign language.. Spoken: German English French (he writes only, and just knows the basics.) Written: German English French Sign Language: German Austrian (he is really good at it. I still have my problems with it. It's soooo...

Well, I think so. Of course, it's not a bad life at all, but that's just for anybody, not only for deaf people. Thanks to our social- and health care system, there are many ways you can get help, if you need it. If you don't have a job, the state pays you an apartment, etc. At least you can life...

Back to the question, I can tell you that it's definitely not Germany!

Hi:wave: I wanted to introduce myself. I'm 20 years old, live in Germany, Munich, together with my fiancé, our dog and our two cats. My older brother (he is deaf) lives in the USA, with our dad (he is american). Somehow I ended up in Germany with my Mom (she grew up here). Well, what else is...
