Everyone needs to learn sign language pls. Like whatever version is used in your country I encourage you to learn.

Not only will you be learning another language, but you'll be able to talk to other signers, D(d)eaf or not, and two people can communicate in loud places without needing to hear the other.

I'm hard of hearing and have such a difficult time with trying to hear others. I stopped wearing hearing aids because I got annoyed that even after about 18 years I still had a hard time distinguishing what hearies were saying.

I'm learning my country's sign language (ASL) but don't have any experienced signers to practice with. I really hope more people learn these languages (and the history of said languages).

And sign is also helpful with neurodivergent people and babies aswell!

Edit: There are some who actually cannot learn for one reason or another so my apologies for the wording. I guess a better start to this post would've been "Everyone who can learn..." ect.

favorite ASL signs at the moment:

information

brave

courage

too bad

the first and last ones are fun to throw a little on the delivery, and the middle two are just cool! though to be fair I like so many ASL signs, I kinda feel like I understand it better than English

Hi, I’ve started learning ASL for many reasons but one of the main reasons I wanted to learn ASL is that I have an APD and understanding what’s being said around me can be difficult. I was wondering if this was a rude or bad reason to want to learn. Of course it’s not the only reason but it is one of them. Thanks.

Mod m here!

So, in my own opinion, there is only /one/ reason to learn ANY new language that is rude or bad. And that reason is learning the language to be rude and/or curse at other people. (i.e. perpetuating marginalization, being rude behind others backs, etc) 

Since you seem to not be trying to learn for this reason, I would say your reason is super valid and awesome and I hope you are able to learn as best you can! Good luck!

Hello my fellow readers and writers and welcome to my main Tumblr blog!

You can call me Bluuee or just Blue, I'm graygender and a demiwoman and don't really care what pronouns are used for me. (So basically any/all pronouns) And I'm grayrose, and omnirose. (Not saying my actual age but I am an adult and will avoid following accounts of minors, though my blogs are somewhat pg13 I won't be trying too hard to keep it that way, I will tag and warn as best I can)

I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and a bilateral cleft palate. I'm hard of hearing (learning ASL) with self diagnosed aphantasia and possibly other stuff.

{Note: I chose to say my disabilities and queer identities, but that doesn't mean you have to! Especially if it makes you uncomfortable! If you don't but still want to talk about your disabilities or queer identities then you can turn on anonymous and send in an ask to me or any blog you want. Tumblr doesn't let anyone know who the anonymous person is and even they wouldn't know!}

My blog specifically for fanfiction is @need-stories-to-live and my blog for the Lord of the Rings character Merry Brandybuck is @ilovemerrybrandybuck so check those out! My AO3 is Bluueeberries1110 and my Wattpad (though I no longer use it) is bluueeberries. I did make a Blue sky account and it's just bluueeberries (don't know how to link it)

Not a problematic shipper or an anti shipper. Or anti any character. Don't get me wrong there are definitely characters and ships I dislike I just wouldn't say I "hate" them.

Please don't ask or talk to me about something that has nothing to do with anything I ever mention. I mostly just reblog stuff from people I'm following and on occasion I'll do a post with the tag #bluuees thoughts

Be patient with me I really do try and write.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! Have a great day/night and leave any thoughts and/or questions in the comments. Goodbye!🤗

I know a lot of ASL signs and phrases at this point and I can understand a lot when people sign to me, but when it comes time for me to sign I freeze up and get everything wrong. For example, I saw my old ASL teacher and tried to say “Hi” and instead I said “bye.”

There’s even less excuse for that, btw, because I literally use those signs EVERY TIME I do a storytime.

I'm relearning ASL

Would anyone like me to record my signs as I learn them, and put them on here? Maybe I could make a blog for it...

My ASL learning problems

I can understand ASL really well. I can sign ASL to my dog or anyone who isn't it in my class relatively well. If I have to sign in class- I look like I totally haven't been paying attention forever. Damn performance anxiety. Also how do people even take notes for ASL?
