Which are your favorite(s) websites that are about Deaf culture?

Thank you. :)
 
What's your definition of deaf culture?

What most people would say is... "Do not look for actual sources on understanding something when you're better off learning yourself from hands-on experience."

That's like you reading a book on how to improve yourself on Sudoku.

Here's an example...

But would books be a good option, along with association with Deaf/HH folks, for beginning ASL students?

Books are ok but it is really best for you to get out there and learn Deaf Culture from live experience. You may read something and not realy undersand it til you are out and about in the community and then "Pah"!!!
 
Anthropology has particular expertise in the study of culture. There is a valid reason why they do their research as obeserver/participants. One must immerse themselves in the culture to understand it from the inside out.
