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?
