That is awesome!! What a cutie pie:0)

OK, I figured the easiest way to do this would be to send everyone to a link on an electronics forum I subscribe to called AVRFreaks.net. Here is the link View topic - AEPSS is an acronym :: AVR Freaks Another hitch is that you can read about the device there but, cannot download my paper...

Hello everyone, Here is a concept I conceived during my ASL 1 class and submitted for extra credit. I do not know if such a device would be useful to the Deaf community or not?? AEPSS is an acronym for Automotive Emergency Proximity Sensor System. Sorry, tried to upload the contents...

Brydie714, I am a new signer but, can convey what was explained to me by my deaf ASL teacher: Apparently the mouth is used with ASL to "lip sync" proper names (people, places, etc.) while fingerspelling AND the mouth is also expressive for facial expressions when communicating emotion...

Thanks for the replies and...Happy Holidays:-)) John

First a tip for "baby birds (new ASL students, including me!)" DO NOT chew gum during your expressive tests:Ohno: Second, for the deaf members of AD, would you mind sharing your thoughts (pro or con) on hearing people wearing earplugs during deaf events. My ASL teacher (deaf) recommended...

Seems like great advice! Thanks for sharing! My brother (HoH) used to say, "yea...yea..." pretending that he was hearing people who were talking to him. A friend encountered him at his work and later reported to me, "Your brother doesn't like me!" I said, "The next time you see him just say...

Tousi wrote: Wow! As a beginner to ASL, I have realized that when I "sign" I have to structure my communication within my limited vocabulary so, Tousi's post is consistent with my own (apparently only partially correct) assumptions. Interpretator: Thanks for sharing all that...

Hi Dixie, I have one but, only had one taker (opheliaspeaks) and... if you work full time it can be difficult to schedule. Also, I am a newbie so my vocabulary is limited now. Good luck !! John

Hi Reba, I tried to download the Freeware and...something is up!! I have a great connection, do you know why this download may be taking so long?? Thanks, John

Just a quick add: Last Saturday we went to a deaf club and the music was BLARING. We (my gal and I) struggled a great deal to balance the intense volume with our receptive skills in order to communicate with the deaf people. It was another revelation regarding how much the hearing rely on...

Hi Kender, I am new to sign also (ASL 1 student) and I had a 'knee-jerk' reaction to local sign dialects (i.e. signs that are COMPLETELY different based on MY region). I did exactly what you are trying to do. I purchased a CD-ROM with a signing avatar, flash cards, and started learning the...

Thanks, just a note: I removed the video...WHY? It was just a simple display to send to my spinning friends. One of those, Paul, knows sign!!! On another note: I really enjoyed Canada during my visit. At the time I was playing for the St. Louis Stingers hockey team and went to see at game at...

Thanks for the kind words:-)) You think you know some sign until you try to connect it all together and then...stop...sign...stop...sign! Doh! I do hope to get better. The more I do it the more I enjoy it!!! John

Hey there everyone!! Please feel free to critique my simple ASL video! I only have a two unit vocabulary so far:-0) YouTube - Spin Class Wow, this stuff is tuff!! John

OKAY! My new cable modem is up and running!!! Feel free to Skype me if you want to sign:-0) John

Yes, I am aware of Beethoven's loss of hearing and I certainly do not disagree with you. What I was saying is that I cannot make a unbiased judgment in this matter because I am hearing! I am aware of the vibrational translation (i.e. Bison Song!). You do not say whether you are deaf or hearing...
