Sign Language and Deafness
Does anybody know American Sign Language or learning it in the process or want to learn? Are anyone of you Deaf or Hard of Hearing? If you were to date someone who is Deaf would you be willing to learn sign language for them to improve communication with one and another in the relationship? Would anyone ever be willing to or want to date or be friends with someone who is Deaf/hard of hearing?

I'm not deaf or hard of hearing, but I know some basic signs and would love to learn more! Growing up, I was close with someone who was deaf. My ASL has gotten rusty, but I want to relearn it. I feel like it's a great way to communicate, regardless if you're deaf/hard of hearing or not. Ex: signing in the library, communicating when you've lost your voice, emphasizing/clarifying a story.

I work with a woman who is deaf (I help take care of her) and she is autistic but super willing to teach what she knows. I've also had a class in community college! It's a good start but I do want to eventually learn more and Japanese sign! I'd honestly date anyone...I just gotta actually like them first. There is never an effort I won't put in to make a connection

I know some basic signs (I used to practice when in highschool but I'm rusty) I taught my son some signs to help him communicate and he knows a good amount. He's two now. I think it's great to know, even for those who aren't deaf or HoH. I would totally be willing to increase my knowledge to become fluent so I could communicate with someone, whether it be a friend or potential partner.

I need to learn it. My city has the states main schools for both deaf and visually impaired. It's a high percentage of citizens with hearing impairment so I know enough to say hello and ask basic questions but it can be hard when they add beyond it. Bad part is that I learned all of the foul words easily so at least I know when I or someone else is being cursed at. Dating someone deaf or hard of hearing would just be like dating someone that doesn't speak English well. I would try to learn what I can over time to make things work better.

Interesting thing, learned 2 new Meteorology related words just by translating one Lithuanian word KRITULIAI into PRECIPITATION and gained from that - sleet. I'm always looking for the meaning of a new word so that I'm able to use it in the correct situations, if I do remember it ๐๐ป.
in that particular correct situation ๐ . If I don't remember the required shorter word, I'm able to describe the thing I'm talking about enough for the other person to understand what I'm describing. (edited)
