Yesterday was my very first class at College and the teacher asked what our dominant hand was, 3 of us are lefties.

He stated that it was perfectly fine to use our dominant hand for signing.

Up to now I've signed my very limited ASL with my right hand, I know maybe 10 signs I have used with my son when he was small.


I'm very left handed with regards to writing but in other fields I'm somewhat right handed because I was forced to.

I went to Culinary School where the left hand is used for carrying and I also learned to stir right and left-handed when cooking.


I'm not sure what to do, during class we went through counting up to 30 and the Alphabet and some of it I tried to look at the kid in front of me and got confused a few times.

Well, a LOT of times :shock: so much so that I'm debating if I should learn it right handed just for ease sake.


Are there any lefties on board that went right handed and it was fine?

I'm thinking this is a new skill and starting from scratch shouldn't make it too hard to learn?

Or should I just stick with being a leftie?
