Does anyone here know sign language or is learning it?
I'm playing on learning ASL and was curious if anyone has every had any experience with sign language or with someone who knows it.
I learned sign language when I was younger and I am still somewhat fluent. But it was a variant of British Sign Language, and not American (those two are different).
My wish has always been to continue learning it and apply it, but I don't have any friends with a hearing impairment.
Technically, everyone should learn this because it is a beautiful language and most of our parents will, most likely, be hard of hearing in the future.
The basic elements of sign language are easy to learn, being fluent is a different story. It depends on the person learning it.
How long did it take for you to be able to have a conversation with a deaf person?
basic conversation: about 90 days (very basic)
more fluent: six to nine months
I was already native or fluent in multiple languages when I learned this.
What am I struggling with:
Complex scenarios and words, like most topics we discuss on WSO. I couldn't explain how an early stage startup has a higher valuation. Or how Tesla uses digital twins as a feedback loop.
Ah yes, hitting on deaf chicks. Smooth move buddy. It's brilliant, really.
