Hey!
I'm hearing but i'm extremely interested in the Deaf Culture. I've been watching Youtube videos & I'm trying extremely hard to learn Sign Language. So far I learned the whole alphabet and a bunch of words/phrases. I even enrolled in ASL as one of my courses for next year.
In my Psychology class there are two deaf students who sit in the front of the class and have interpreters. I am so facinated and I always watch the interpreters instead of my teacher. I'm learning Sign Language & Psychology at the same time...
Ha ha!
When one of the students turned around I was completely mesmerized. I don't believe in "love at first sight" but there was definitely...something. I was thinking of talking to him after class. He was signing with one of his friends and I was looking at him, and he turned around and looked upset. I think he was insecure and thought I was looking at him because he was signing. But I was just looking at him because I think he looks really cute.
I want to talk to him but I don't want him to think i'm stupid because I'm terrible at signing. I'm still learning. Do you have any advice? If you were in a University Psychology class and everyone was hearing, would you think it's stupid if a hearing girl approached you and tried to communicate with you, even if she's sort of awful at signing? Please give me some advice.
I was planning on signing"Hi, how are you?" tomorrow since it's Valentine's Day. Would that be really random?
Thanks.
