Hello,
My name Is Sean, and I am a General manager of a restaurant in Austin Texas. Recently ther was a Deaf Convention near my work and my restaurant was flooded with those who were HoH, Deaf and Hearing. It was amazing watching them communicate to eachother and I have always found ASL fascinating. I have been wanting to learn ASL for years and because of that experience I decided to pick it up. I have been on Lifeprint.com and asl.ms pretty religiously since then and having fun learning the language( I am on course 22 now) and I bought a 500 word flash card set.
I do have a slight problem though, the years of being in food service, cutting and burning my hands more times than I can even begin to count has ruined some of my flexibility in my fingers. ( my "E"s, "M"s and "C"s look a lot alike) But i am still having fun with it. ( I also assume the soreness in my hands will go away the more I sign hahahah)
Is there any advice y'all could give to help me better communicate with a Deaf or HoH individual. Or other ways to improve?
