Hey, I’m Claudia!! I’ve been watching this show called “switched at birth” the show is on Netflix and there is a girl who was switched at birth who lost her hearing at a very young age and had to learn ASL. After watching the show I’ve fell In love with the language and want to learn more about it and become fluent!
 
I watched that show too!
It isn't very hard to learn the basics of ASL. I mean, you can just look it up!
I learned what I know from a deaf friend, and I think it's more *authentic* that way.(* joke from season one with Bay and Ty)
But, you won't become fluent overnight. It takes YEARS to master the language, especially if you're hearing.
The deaf culture is a wonderful, rich, and diverse community, and if you try hard enough, you'll see for yourself.
Don't give up on trying to learn ASL, so many people have because it's "too hard."
If you want help learning, I can help.

P.S. If you meet a deaf person and want to learn the language, don't only ask for the curse words. It's more than just a secret way of getting mad.
