I just made a facebook group for people who love to sign. It's still a baby and I'm probably the only members, so I need YOUR help =)D The idea is sort of the same as pen pals, but instead it's a site to meet video sign pals ASL- Signing buddies | Facebook ALSO, once there are enough...

Oops :giggle: Vancouver , BC

Hey, I'm from vic, but I'm going to vancouver this weekend and am wondering if anyone knows of any Deaf events that newcomers to ASL are welcome to join in on. Thanks :wave:

Yeah, you should try to just sign. I'm not sure (bc i'm hearing) but I think as long as you are making an effort to communicate than it's okay if you mouth words occassionally bc. it's a habit and it may even aid in helping people to read your signs if you aren't completely accurate. BUT I would...

heeeey ! are you learning sign?

my computer. I love my caaaaaaat way too much!

10 million dollars =) . Love will come later... maybe on the hot beaches of hawaii (where i will be spending the first few of my millions of dollars haha)

Hi I'm hearing--- learning ASL, My dad owns a mortgage company that started just over a year ago, and it has moved across Canada and is now moving into the states. I've been asking him if he ever has Deaf clients, and how he explains all the different mortgage products and the contracts to...

ps I'm not from the US, but I think Canada is very similar and most of what I hear about marriages comes out of the states. On a happy note, my ASL professor told me that Deaf marriages are much more likely NOT to end in divorce, because Deaf people form much stronger bonds (in most cases)...

I think it's because people are dynamic - not static. As you go through different stages in your life the things that are important to you change. Also some people get married out of convenience, not because they genuinely feel a strong bond for another person. If a married couple do not have a...

Thanks! I know that. I was referring more to cultural differences in communication, not the actual composition of the language itself.

I've updated my post due to popular complaint haha. Sorry if I offended anyone! I'm interested in Deaf culture, not dating ! Just want to make friends :wave:

haha thanks Tousi! Seems like you're guiding me through my first couple days on this website :ty:

Hi there! thanks for posting =) . Where do you live? ASL is a very beautiful language and I definitely recommend learning it. I never had much luck with spoken languages (bc I was pretty shy when I was younger), so I thought I might also struggle with sign but it's actually easier for me to...

haha yeah you're right! sorry for pointing out the obvious. I'm hearing though, so I was just trying to say that I might be a little different from the majority of the ppl on this website, but what unifies us is a love for sign and Deaf culture. Just giving a little background info =)

Okay thanks tousi! Sorry didn't mean to use it like a dating site. I'm really just looking for friends in my area =) . I'm not clear on the conventions of the site yet

1 more thing you can try! if you sign up for an account with POF, you can search for ppl by interests so maybe if you type in ASL a girl will come up for you ;) I'm learning ASL and I have a tokbox account, so I wouldn't mind sending short signing videos back and forth for practice, but I'm not...

:wave: Hi! I'm learning ASL at my university and I LOVE it, and I really love everything about Deaf culture. I've decided that I want to become an interpreter, so I am switching my current major 3rd year (yessss, I do wish I figured this out sooner =P) and I'm entering a deaf studies program...
