I was wondering how to clap around a deaf person. To me it seems rude too. Just wondering if there is anything I should do instead. Thank you.

You put both hands in the air and shake them rapidly. https://youtu.be/fK3faMFDcws?si=KtrDHx8tRI0ZDKLw

I am soon to be functionally deaf

Hello, my name is Kris and as the title states I am soon to be deaf as I have some inner ear issues that will require having the middle ear bones removed from my right ear and my left ear is already mostly deaf. I'm really enjoying learning ASL so far and I'm looking forward to being able to still hold conversations with some even though I won't really be able to hear. I hope everybody had a good Christmas and wish everybody a happy new year!

Asl class and their inaccessibility.

At least where I live, ASL classes are very inaccessible. There should be classes inside public schools. It's kinda stupid how hard it is to learn ASL (at least where I live). Not only is it a language, it's a means of accessibility. Why should a language for the deaf be so inaccessible? And it doesn't help that some PAID classes are textbooks. TEXTBOOKS. The teacher barely even knows the language! Anyways I'm done ranting.
