I'm so glad you asked! Sadly, it's not surprising that your friend didn't have a chance to learn sign in El Salvador. There's a deaf woman, in her late teens, in my ASL class, and she never learned sign before now (she's also in the beginner class). Deaf/HoH Salvadorans are very...

I know about Russian sign language, but our plan is eventually to move back to the U.S., so that's why we're interested in ASL. My little one is learning Spanish but hasn't picked it up as quickly as kids normally do (which is how we discovered his hearing loss). He has his HA's now, and I...

My husband and I had our first ASL class today (yay!), and afterwards, we said, "wow, it's so good that we speak Spanish (because all the explanations of signs were in Spanish)," and "what good practice in Spanish and in ASL!" Do you use ASL in Peru? (Here they have two sign languages - ASL...

Gracias! Lo interesante, es que mi esposo y yo estamos apprendiendo ASL en espanol (es decir, de espanol). Buena practica para nosotros en ambos idiomas! :) Pero que bueno para nosotros y para nuestro hijo que aqui se usa ASL!

We love it! The only thing that takes some getting used to is the crime situation (not being able to walk my dogs outside, ever). But I love the weather, and the people are so friendly. I'm really excited to meet more local Salvadorans in my ASL class, which I started today! The people there...

I'm so glad to hear you like your Oticon Safari!!! We only had two choices in El Salvador, and we went with Oticon Safari! (The other choice was Phonak, but a) it was more expensive than Oticon, and b) it's not a pediatric model). Thank you so much for your advice! :ty:

Yes, I was very surprised how cheap it is, but it's a non-profit, private school, supported by U.S. missionaries. While it is rather "no frills" compared to U.S. preschools, the environment seems loving and caring, and I really liked the preschool teacher. There will be 8 kids in his group...

Gracias a todo y todas por sus bienvenidos al foro! Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum! I hope to post more in the future about El Salvador and the Deaf community here. I start my ASL class tomorrow at Escuela Cristiana para Sordos!!! YouTube - El Salvador- Escuela Cristiana para Sordos

Hi, I found out only a few months ago that my 4 year old has moderate hearing loss in both ears. We're Americans living abroad in El Salvador and quickly learning about the Deaf community and schools here. I have so many questions, and I've already begun posting in the ASL-Oralism section...

I want my son to learn ASL (he is HOH). Can someone tell me, please, if the people signing in this video are signing ASL? At the school, they told me they use ASL with Spanish grammar, but I don't understand that statement. YouTube - El Salvador- Escuela Cristiana para Sordos

Thank you, everyone! I visited the Christian School for the Deaf today and was impressed by their enthusiasm and individualized attention to the children. So, I think we'll enroll our little one and see how he likes it. Incidentally, the maximum cost on the sliding scale is $65/month.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and found out just a few months ago that my son has moderate hearing loss in both ears. He is almost 4, but the reason we found out so late is that he's lived overseas since birth. My son is exposed to several languages - Russian (primary), English, and Spanish. Since we...
