I interact with them all day via text as I am not always with them. I send them to job sites and keep in touch through the phone. When we are in the same room I try to understand what they are saying but if I don't get it I ask them to write it down and they get a frustrated look on their face. I am working 12 hour days so it does not leave a lot of room for studying. I am working towards an 8-9 hour day then I can spend some time learning sign language. There is already a barrier due to the fact that I am resented because I was brought from outside to bring the division into the black. I am trying as hard as I can to communicate with them but to also keep the division open so the jobs will still be there.
