Is there anyone here currently learning ASL? I'm looking for someone to practice with over video chat. This can also be a thread to get help and help others with ASL. :)

I bet finding a language partner would be pretty simple. Don't practice with non-native,
find a real ASL speaker! I'm sure there are forums full of deaf people just waiting to
help someone learn ASL. Most are not shy to use video either. I haven't studied ASL in
ages, but everyone I met was so eager to help, and patient too!

Well, I wanted to ask on a language forum, because here there is a better chance of finding someone that knows a lot about linguistics, and would be competent in knowing what they are learning or teaching me.

I usually see a much better rate of progress in ASL students than in students of written languages. I wouldn't worry too much about linguistics and I would just do, which is what you need to do with ASL.

I studied ASL and I miss it.


Check out this website for fingerspelling.

http://asl.ms/

I forgot the website for numbers.


Have you called around to your local community colleges or universities
to see if they offer ASL? Maybe you can tell you about a Deaf social.
