if you guys want a practice buddy let me know :) I'm not in your time zone but I'm up late at night (for me!) and would love to work on my ASL!

fantastic, thanks!

is there a Deaf Culture Centre in the GTA? I haven't found much online in the Toronto area other than the Bob Rumball Centre and the CHS (and George Brown) but that sounds like something I would like to check out!

I like to spend time with my niece and nephew, it's a great way to fill in that 'hole' feeling :) Pets are great too! I live alone for long periods of time without seeing my family (on the cruise ship) and I know exactly what you mean by that feeling. I like to try and fill it with challenging...

I agree, it made it worse. However, that was all the crew knew at that time too- the captain did not sound any alarms or alert the crew that something was that wrong. We have some crazy weather and movement on the ship all the time, and we've had power outages so it's very possible they didn't...

hey guys, just a personal opinion on this- I work on a cruise ship, and watching this all happening live on CNN as we were sailing was extremely frightening and sad. We were all shocked and devastated by what happened, not to mention suddenly being the centre of attention among passengers about...

I don't really know much about this stuff when it comes to the law or school policy, but when push comes to shove, is this not a case of being denied a necessary resource? Teachers will require all kinds of things to be able to do their job, and it will be different for each person. To say that...

thanks a lot for all the suggestions! I'll definitely look into everything that was mentioned. and Jen_Cats, I know exactly what you mean- I couldn't believe that Rosetta Stone didn't offer an ASL package. I have a ton of other languages that they offer, but ASL is the one I'm always looking...

I would love to join in and chat with others on Skype to learn more ASL. I know some basics and am learning a few more signs a day on lifeprint.com (fantastic site!) but it's always great to have others to chat with and help each other out! My Skype name is Nanelle :)

single for longer than I would like to admit! But I'm always open to meeting someone :)

as a hearing person, I'm finding that resources are kind of hard to find for learning ASL on your own. I don't have unlimited access to the internet (I work on a cruise ship and we have to buy internet cards, which gets expensive) so I'm trying to find an offline computer program. Has anyone...

hey Goldaline, what school are you attending for your program? I live not too far from Toronto and am kind of interested in looking into Deaf Studies- could use some feedback on schools!

where are you studying? I live just outside Hamilton and would love to know of a place to find courses or other people to study with!

Hi everyone, it's great to join the site. I'm a hearing person living in Caledonia Ontario (just outside Hamilton) and I am really trying to find resources nearby to learn ASL. I have learned a bit on my own but want to learn a lot more. Can you recommend any classes or instructors in the GTA...
