Out of curiousity - who knows sign language?

[Pam]

My mother does. She had a deaf sister and learned many years ago. I never learned because by the time I was born we were living quite far away and eventually that sister died. It's funny because my mom is in her 90's now and has forgotten many things, but if you ask her to sign she still can.

I know a very little. My sister knows quite a bit, she took a few years of it in school. My sister-in-law is currently in college studying to be an ASL interpreter.

ooh cool, good! we need so many more ASL interpreters, especially in small towns. do you know what level is she in now? 1, 2, 3 or 4?

pam, just like speaking english - I think language is only thing we don't forget! although ASL has this word, language in it, many people think it's not a language, even some deaf people didn't know it IS a language. we do 'glibberish' in sign too, lol. once I fingerspelt, COG when we were talking about how cats and dogs do get along!

I wasn't born deaf but ASL is my second/primary language and english, third. SEE (sign exact english) was my first.

rachel, curious - as I see, you're not fully deaf? you seem don't mind being termed hearing impaired, what is it like to you? how much can you hear?
