Hello! new here

[Stephie17]

My name is Steph. I am currently learning ASL but am having trouble finding events that I could participate in and meet new people in the deaf community. I am learning ASL because I have run into people who were deaf at work / school, etc and felt bad that I could not communicate to the same level that I communicate with the hearing. I don't want to essentially ignore a person because I don't even know how to say good morning and how are you or understand the response.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know other members on this forum!

Edit: I am editing to clarify that I am hearing, if it makes a difference. Thanks!!
