Same here... I do catch alot more things with the CC going... At first it seemed to take from the images but now it seems to blend very well and I can read the words and see the images at the same time.. I have also gotten into watching tv without sound and having music playing... I have also...

I've been trying to get into the sign class at my school since the first semester... But the school obviously doesn't care about the "mainstreaming" that it has so much pride in. It's obvious to everyone who goes there. I really think that waiting until my 4th year to get into a class that...

Explain yourself more... If your saying that all hearing / deaf relationships will end up with problems then I think you need to open your eyes up and look around this group a bit because that honestly doesn't appear to be true.

Miami does ring a bell but I'm still not positive.

There was actually orginally 7 schools chosen to be possible locations for NTID. After NAB meetings in the summer of 1966 they removed 3 of schools leaving behind: Rochester Institute of Technology University of Pittsburg University of Illinois University of Tennessee These schools...

I am with you on that point. I know that the ASL-English Interpretation students at my school (RIT/NTID) must be atleast at ASL class level of 4? or 5?... If not then the school will catch them up but they aren't offically in the program until they have that much under their belts... So I would...

I'm not positive if these are masters programs but I thought I would throw these out in the open anyways... I know that University of Rochester has a ASL program. I also know that Rochester Institute of Technlogy ( College of NTID ) has a program in ASL-English Interpretation and also a Masters...

I would have to say that driving in a car with the windows up, ac on, and music playing at a moderate to noisy setting you would see the lights in the mirror well before you ever hear that siren. If that person was not paying attention to their mirrors... now then I could understand their...

If I remember correctly my girlfriend's says "Hearing Impairment" like you said and right under that it says "Requirement: Mirrors"... or something of the sort... Apperently I guess cars are made without mirrors still? ANYWAYS, I just wonder why it has to be posted?... not that it bothers her...

I feel the same about that. :h5: I too asked this same question to my girlfriend when we met. If it is illegal to wear headphones and in a sense be "deaf" to the outside noises... then it would only make sense to have the law be "equal" for all parties involved. I would totally rock my...

That site it pretty good I must say, I've been to it a few times... but I am looking for a good method of learning too... I can't find a good way to retain what I learn and I want to know how to practice it and retain the most. I'm just curious what everyone else did to learn it... What works...

Some more... Before departing for summer time I found a very interesting section of my library at college ( RIT )... which consisted of hundreds of deaf culture and how to learn asl books. Ofcourse though these do not help me as I am over 8 hours drive from my school and cannot borrow these...

As for taking a class.... I have tried getting into the course at my school every semester so far... everytime it is full... I find it absurd that a school with such a deaf community such as RIT only has seats for 40 kids out of the 16,000 or so that are granted a seat in this course. It...

I have asked her to teach me... but right now its summer break from college and she is living at home in another state... sooo I just want to spend the next 2 months keeping asl fresh and adding slowly to my knowledge of it. I have asked her a few times when we were at school but with the load...

By BS i meant more like bullshit... :doh: I feel we can talk on the sk all day.. but in person... sometimes we hold back conversations just to avoid some small understanding problems?

It depends what you refer to as rare... To many hearing people, meeting a deaf person in general is rare... So in that sense YES you could call it rare. But within the deaf community I have seen it before, so I wouldn't consider it rare really. BTW I am in the same situation as you... Me being...

I am hearing and I have a deaf girlfriend who is just perfect for me. Only thing I feel that needs to be worked on is the ability to easily BS in person... if you know what I mean? More like just talking to talk... not talking to ask questions or what not. Not sure if I clearly stated what I...

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself a bit before i started posting. My names chadd and i'm from long island. I am hearing and I go to Rochester Institute of Technology. I have a deaf girlfriend who I met at RIT and absolutely adore. I also am friends with a lot of deaf students from...
