    Question for girls.. would you ever date an ARAB guy?

    Well "arab" would be properly used as "Arabic" just as you wouldn't say "china guy", you would say "Chinese guy". I have never dated an Arabic man. I don't know about their culture or religion or anything else. I live in Finland. I speak with ASL. I am Deaf. No matter who you choose to...

    What do you do for living?

    I am an author and publisher. I haven't been inspired to write for a long time, but amazingly I today started again. I guess isolation is kicking my brain into gear once again.

    Complicated intro

    [Thanks, I am very familiar with both places. Thomas Sandholm (Deaf news reader) is husband of Phillipa Sandholm of Finnish Association of the Deaf and she has had her fill with the Finnish government and Kela's surdophobia. I am also aware of the Finnish Sign Language classes but would be...

    Never have i ever ....

    I have never: - been skydiving (terrified of heights) - had braces - been scuba diving - eaten sushi - been to NYC - gone zip-lining (not really even sure what that is) So do I win? Am I drunk? Do I remove article of clothing or what? :D

    Where is everyone from?

    I was born in and lived most of my life in Australia in Gubbi Gubbi Country but moved to Finland in 2000 when I met a Finnish man online and we fell in love. I was HOH back then but when I became fully Deaf, he decided he wanted out. We both learned ASL (as Finnish authorities refused to teach...

    App for deaf people? "What do You need?"

    I use many speech-to-text apps, but as for my "Disability" - please do you want to explain as I have none. The problem with a lot of speech to text apps is that most do not understand a foreign accent. It will pick up perfectly a Finnish person speaking and put it to text if you choose...

    Are you "embarrassed" by your hearing loss?

    My family in Australia are the same. My ex-husband here in Finland learned ASL with me but nobody else. I use Skype (with captions) to talk to my family in Australia, as my dad is too afraid to use a computer - and also wants to kill the man who took my hearing away. I would so love to have...

    Complicated intro

    Thank you Tousi, much obliged. I am ASL'er as government refuses to teach me FinSL. Luckily poliisi here use sign language which I understand and if they cannot understand when I sign something, they write English to me :)

    Facial Masks- COVID-19

    I am a germ-phobe and have had my own masks for about 15 years. Facial expressions are not a problem as I am the only Deaf person I know, with a few exceptions of a hearing mother with her Deaf baby, and an interpreter with a Deaf/blind man and a Deaf woman who I met one day. I am Deaf living...

    Stay at Home Order

    I have been doing a lot of reading on my tablet. At night times just before bed, I turn on the TV to see what has CC shows. I live in Finland. As an author I considered writing again, but thought better of it. I have no drive at the moment to do so.

    Complicated intro

    I am a Deaf user who lives in Finland. My situation is a little complicated but I will do my best to explain it. About ten years ago, I met somebody online. We fell in love. We got married. He lived in Finland. I lived in Australia. And we had to make a choice - to live in Finland or live...

    Hello from Australia! ASL leaner! heelp

    I learned AUSLAN (Australian sign language) for many years at Queensland Deaf Society, at also two different colleges. It is nothing like ASL or BSL and now I am learning Finnish sign which is different again (viittomakieli). Sent from my GT-P5100 using AllDeaf App mobile app

    Australian Deaf living forever now in Finland

    Big hello to everybody. I am Australian Aboriginal who has lived in Finland for 5 years and hopefully many more. I do not talk to many people because they treat me as stupid because I cannot hear them. I am happily married to hearing person and I am glad I found this app too.
