We have a Deaf & Blind school in our community, resulting in a sizable group of deaf members of our church. We also teach ASL to our students in our Classical School as well. Since so many people that I love know sign, I felt it was about time I started learning myself.

I want to learn something new, I may not speak English in my country, but im excited to know that there may be an app where I can speak to deaf or mute people with sign language, because I'm simply curious how they see the world around us, I also love the fact that when I'll finally finish my learning, I'll be able to speak to people that I care about

it's radical, I want to be able to communicate with as many ppl I meet a possible-if I meet deaf or HOH or nonverbal people I don't want there to be a communication barrier, and I myself have trouble with speaking so learning ASL can help me communicate when I can't speak

my reason is completely selfish. I am losing my hearing. I spent the last few years being tested for the Coclear Implant. one thing doctors kept telling me was if I do not get hearing aids (which I do have) or the surgery I will develop dementia. I started asking other questions. Do deaf people have dementia? what is the ratio of deaf dementia patients to the hearing population? I learned that the ratio is close. so why aren’t there more deaf dementia people? ASL is a language and triggers the same spots in the brain as every other language. the loss of hearing is not a precursor to dementia but the loss of language is. I am picking up a new language to help me stay healthy. there are days when my hearing aid has not charged and I can still communicate with people. my family is picking it up too for days without batteries or mornings before I put my ears on. I can sign to the kids and get my idea across quietly and not have to yell in public. there’s so many benefits to this language. And I am very selfish.

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!

halftime show thoughts?
Firstly, I loved the superbowl halftime show, as a non Spanish speaker! I thought it was a lot of fun! And then I saw clips of PRSL/ LSPR translators preforming as well and I felt so touched for those who felt represented! I couldn't understand the signs, but I had a smile and was dancing the whole time watching it! What did you guys think??

Interpreting Songs
I've heard from a deaf discord group that interpreting songs isn't ok and goes against deaf values, but I then came across a content creator who was interpreting songs, by the artist I was planning to do at that. (Stray Kids if you're curious) I'm hearing, and very very new into sign. I'm just wondering if my self interpreting songs would be ok? I would start with SEE, but I hope to eventually do it in proper ASL. Just hoping for advice. Thanks!!
