Hello! My name is Christephen, I’m fully deaf, from Portland,Oregon. I curious out there who want to learn sign language?
I also curious out there who know some sign language or always want to learn sign language?
I love to teach people how to sign language. It does make me feel good to teach someone who really want to learn sign language and put it as commit to trying to learn something new.
Hi there! Welcome! I know very little but I do know some sign language. Someone very close to me has a tracheostomy which physically diminished the volume of his voice. When he had trouble communicating I would teach him certain hand signs such as “more”, “all done”, “hungry” etc to communicate with me. I also work with clients who use hand signs as they are non verbal.
How is your recovery coming along?
Hi! That’s great you know basic language sign language for your close of your friend. To have access of communication when can’t talk struggle to express. I’m glad you have some benefit to learn sign language. Hope you will learn more new sign language if that’s what’s motivation you.
I been sober for 131 days. It’s rough but I starting to do some of assignments for my sponsor. One day at a time. What about you? How’s everything with you and sober?
My infant school was co-ed with hearing impaired, I used to know basic phrases and a few songs in bsl. I can still finger spell but it is the two handed version.
Congrats on your 141 days of sobriety! I am on day 85 myself. Things have been overall quite good. A reap struggle in the beginning but I am learning new healthy skills to get me thru!
Hi @Misokatsu! That’s cool you learn BSL! BSL is cool to learn also. Kinda different from ASL. You can always learn different language if your interesting. It’s cool through. How’s your recovery going?
@Butterflymoonwoman recovery is amazing. It can be so challenging. I’m glad you doing well. Todays 132 days sober for me. I been counting everyday. Even I feel like I’m not work hard enough but I’m trying to figure it out and be open about my life. It hard to be open when I feel there’s are so much of judge. You know? I’m glad you doing well. Keep it up! Don’t give up your sober. You can do it!! My goal is sober rest of my life no touch alcohol or drugs using ever ever again. Not even once. It will be hard but that my mindset goal.
