Hey Bott, how did you communicate with your children when you were raising them? Since you've mentioned many times that your ASL isn't that strong, I'm curious to know if you lipread them, or wrote notes? or...?
Lipreading yes. Padded out by a bit of sign for anything not understood. I am very good at understanding my family.
It wasn't really difficult.
Yeah, interesting how that works, isn't it? I can still talk on the phone with my mom and understand 95% of what she is saying just because I am so used to her speech patterns and voice intonation, but I can't talk to anyone else on the phone at all.
Matajan, Can you rewrite your questions so I can understand what you are trying to ask better?
