Hello beans!
I have a new coworker that is hard of hearing and I’d like to be able to communicate with him better. I know how to say “hello my name is…” in ASL (and how to say “I want tacos”). But that’s not enough to speak to him properly.
I don’t want to feel like I’m being rude when I try to speak to him by shoving a phone in his face with what I’m trying to say typed out. Because one, that is rude, and two I want to be inclusive with him.
So if there’s any resources out there could you share them? Maybe some simple signs for now as I build my confidence? I also have to be careful with my signs due to having arthritis in my hands (I really don’t want to misspell or say something rude on accident due to it).
Thanks beans!
Edit: after speaking to my coworker, I learned he prefers sign and is willing to teach me! Thanks for the advice beans!
