None....I'm not fluent in sign language, but I'm able to converse as long as the signer moves their mouth at the same time, and does not sign too swiftly....Speech...I'm more oral than ASL or sign, but some words I have difficulty with. And I'm late-deafened (age 14), profound deaf for 50 years. I never stopped talking, as this was told to me at the deaf school I attended for 2 years (NCSD). I was not allowed to sign, and had to sit in front of the class and lipread.


So...I'm an "in-betweener"...perhaps a "mutt" (if you will)....I chose to go both directions (or perhaps life chose that for me).
