For example, the philosophers who were interested in logic were probably rather logical for mathematicians. But the ASL got us together, so we could talk to each other and publish in the same journal.
I'm almost completely deaf anyway. So I'm worried. I'm very worried.
At first, I simply wanted to get a basic understanding of sign language, but as time went on, I really got the bug and wanted to become proficient so that I could make good use of my skills.
I just have a connection with sign language. I always thought the deaf community was a different community to be a part of. In high school, me and my friend took sign language.
Technology is helping more and more deaf people hear, but here at Gallaudet, we focus on learning and achieving-not on listening. So I would still say deaf people can do anything, except hear.
I was a sign language interpreter from when I was 17, but I don't do that anymore. Both of my parents were deaf. I grew up in a deaf household. I don't do any jokes about it really, but yeah that was my day job.
My touring band, they're just brilliant, and all of them are learning ASL, so the wall of communication is breaking.
Before working with Deaf West, I had never met a deaf person, and now I can't imagine life without ASL.
Sign language was a great experience. I have a deaf aunt that I am able to communicate with because of that class.
