i am new to ASL. i live in the tampa bay area. i am a hearing person and i really want to learn as much ASL as possible. i've been learning via Lifeprint and that going great. i work at a college that offers classes and will be signing (no pun) up in the spring term. i have been trying to attend events and group meetings but i'm very shy bc i don't know anyone and my ASL is limited. so i decided to join this to see if i could reach out to others and gain some knowledge and maybe make a few new friends.
