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.

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?
