The only deaf people that was there this time was the other two guys and me. Hopefully more deaf people will show up in the next few weeks at this event. It's a good thing a lot of hearing people want to learn sign language. It impresses me they care to know how to communicate with those that can't hear. I enjoyed meeting new people tonight and I am going back on February 22nd. The group is meeting every two weeks for now at the coffee shop at 7pm.
My sign language skills are improving. Long time ago I knew how to sign very well. That's because I went to N.T.I.D. in the past. Over the years I have forgotten how to speak fluently in sign language. Now it's all coming back to me and I'm catching up. Sooner or later I'll remember how to sign most of the words that I have forgotten. This is a good social even to go to.
ASL Buffalo Social Group Event
I'm sure there are many people who would like to learn sign language so I'm hoping that the ASL group put flyers all over the place so people get to know what's happening. They should also try to get into colleges to teach the young adults about signing too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. When I was there, the deaf guy showed me one of the flyers. It was a calendar of a bunch of events and when the ASL group was meeting. Not sure where he got the flyer from but I'm going to ask about it.
