We started a 2 words a day thing, it seems to be going well. He already knew *SOME* sign before but not enough to really communicate. Though 2 words a day is not much--thats about 42 signs a month, progress--I think so.

I am looking into both :)

back in high school I dated a deaf guy that was like that, to say the least--it didnt last long or end well.

reverse audism? Can you give example?

LOL I did hold off on sex for awhile telling him that we will not have sex until he knew sign...lol pretty dumb considering how long it would be realistically. I think 1-2 words a day is a realistic goal, right? Are you all dating hearing person too or a Deaf person?

oh forgot to add, I found a "Deaf profesional Happy Hour" group and I plan to take him with me. They seem like decent size events, Deaf/HOH, terps, and ASL students go--im thinking it would be a good thing for him to go and learn and I will enjoy it also :)

You are right rockin'robin and DeafCaroline. I feel bad now for being so impatient because on the flip side he is very patient with me, my medical issues and goes out of his way daily to help me, cheer me up or make me feel better. Patience is hard and obviously something I need to work on...

Thanks for the input! Some good ideas! He is a full time student and works also. But yea Caroline, I get impatient to teach people same words over and over again. Who would like to do that? I will try to have more patience too, he is really patient with me so I need to take a breath.

I sat down and talked to him, expressed my feeling of hurt and everything. He said he wants to learn but that I have to teach him. maybe it was my fault he was not signing? Its difficult because I dont have all the patients to sit and teach but worth a try. I texted him and said that me...

So tomorrow is my 11 month being with my Boyfriend. I love him a lot! I bought him books, stickers, and showed him diffrent websites to learn sign but just dont feel like he is doing it. It makes me feel bad. He tells me he is learning but its just too slow so my question, how do motivate him to...

very cute :)

very true! and Swicthed at Birth is a good show, dont get me wrong BUT it bothers me how many people watch and all want to hear "emmett" speak. I went on fan page on facebook and almost every post was about wanting him to speak, or for something to change or something. and yea, I dont like...

Its one thing when people want to learn sign because they want to communicate with you...but ive noticed since switched at birth SO many people want to date a Deaf person, make it like a prize or a fetish...either way it is creepy. THEN you have the honest people that are learning signs but come...

Hi welcome to all deaf :) I am also 19 and Deaf

WELCOME! Your funny :) I am Deaf and people say similar things to me even know I grew up oral. "If you are Deaf how can you speak?" then they think because I can read lips that I can actually hear. Ugh. lol

hard of hearing ;) not impaired. Anyways, Welcome to AllDeaf!

I dont like gum so this just sounds repulsing... but on another hand...then the country reflects on itself and wonders why America is the most obese country....Its because everything is fried! Im sure people could live without fried gum....a regular stick is what 5 calories? Fried must be...

can watch on HULU . com with captions, all shows :) also, I am a very good lip reader and sometimes people think im hearing because of it--no lip reading it not 100% or perfect and can confuse a lot but think of like this, when hearing people aquire language they learn diffrent sounds and...
