I am not an app person...there is a teacher I follow online sometimes. My first book I was told by my deaf friend wasn't helpful....so I ran out to Barnes and Nobel got me a picture book. And I find myself referring to my old one.....but I need to learn for health reasons.
Anywho....it's close to smoothie time....am surprised no one thought it was an earthquake.... NT people it's just my tummy.....

hahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh my goodness. an earthquake tummy rumble... Gotta love that one!

Enna, I hope you are staying away from the cherries with your smoothies. I needed a good laugh today. You just made my day, Thank You!

My husband and I have often talked about trying to pick up ASL, he was born with a defect in both ear canals that has left him with a 70% hearing loss all of his life. Surprisingly, he was never taught sign language, but is amazing at reading lips. It can be quite funny at times though. One day he was certain that I said "I need to go wash my water buffalo". I don't remember what it was that I originally said but what he thought I said has stuck in both of our memories.

I would be very grateful if you could PM me, or mention here, your recommendations of what books and apps you have found to be useful. My language skills are ok, I took 10 years of German in school and managed to teach myself some Spanish over the past year. I would love to pick up something that would be useful to both my husband and I.

Well, at least your buffalo is sophisticated. He has climbed in your water even without your asking him.

I will provide you with the information for ASL resources, once my pain levels return to baseline and I can get up to get it for you.

Oh, and I recommend you corn feed your water buffalo. That makes for the most tender meat!

Dearest purplefoot.....I have not been attacked by any fruit as of late....that one encounter was enough though.
You personal story was so sweet and uplifting. My hubby has a lot of ringing in his ears and if I do not face him when I am speaking....he hears nothing. We even have to mute the telly when we want to say something about the program we are watching together. Most of the time he asks....what did they say?
So together we finger spell to each other.....once we even went to a supermarket and used only our hands. Doyou know how many dirty looks we got? It was awful. One child came right inbetween us and just stared up at him. No excuse me and the parent didn't even apologize... I know they thought we were deaf but like your husband, what if he could read lips?
Please don't jump all over me that we were being disrespectful to the deaf as well as the hearing.....our deaf friends recommended this to improve our sign language and we never spoke the intire time to make the hearing uncomfortable. Our friend is a professor for asl.
As my jaw deteriorates and my husband's hearing is going we find ourselves using our form of asl but the true way is our goal.
